[patch] epoll-fix-compiler-warning-and-optimize-the-non-blocking-path-fix

[Johannes Weiner]

The non-blocking ep_poll path optimization introduced skipping over
the return value setup.

Initialize it properly, my userspace gets upset by epoll_wait()
returning random things.

In addition, remove the reinitialization at the fetch_events label,
the return value is garuanteed to be zero when execution reaches
there.

[PATCH -mmotm] backlight: apple_bl depends on ACPI

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

apple_bl uses ACPI interfaces (data & code), so it should depend on ACPI.

epoll broken [was: mmotm 2011-01-25-15-47 uploaded]

Hi, the network daemons are broken here. cupsd and httpd children
segfault too often without servicing requests. It's a regression against
mmotm 2011-01-06-15-41.

It's epoll after it dies:
17836 epoll_create(8192)                = 3
...
17836 accept(7, {sa_family=AF_FILE, NULL}, [2]) = 11
17836 getsockname(11, {sa_family=AF_FILE,
path="/var/run/cups/cups.sock"}, [26]) = 0
17836 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP
(Operation not supported)
17836 fcntl(11, F_GETFD)                = 0
17836 fcntl(11, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)    = 0
17836 epoll_ctl(3, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 11, {EPOLLIN, {u32=379708832,
u64=140428630418848}}) = 0
17836 epoll_wait(3, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=379708832, u64=140428630418848}}},
8192, 1000) = 1
17836 recvfrom(11, "P", 1, MSG_PEEK, NULL, NULL) = 1
17836 poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN}], 1, 10000) = 1 ([{fd=11,
revents=POLLIN}])
17836 recvfrom(11, "POST / HTTP/1.1\r\nContent-Length:"..., 2048, 0,
NULL, NULL) = 771
17836 sendto(11, "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue\r\n\r\n", 25, 0, NULL, 0) = 25
17836 epoll_wait(3, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=379708832, u64=140428630418848}},
{0, {u32=0, u64=0}} .............. {0, {u32=0, u64=0}}, ?}
0x7fb816996660, 8192, 0) = 379151968
17836 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
17836 +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

The parameter, the same as the retval, seems to be bogus.

Is it known (fixed in newer kernels)?

thanks,
