2.5.61 long-format changelog
Summary of changes from v2.5.60 to v2.5.61
============================================
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Changed 'bug' to a static variable. (Arnd Bergmann)
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Don't retransmit Gap-Acked TSNs
In general, this isn't a terrible problem at the protocol level
(though inefficient), but causes _horrible_ problems with the way we
do 'flight_size' calculation, eventually hitting xfer deadlock,
since we think we already have more than enough DATA out on the wire.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Handle non-linear ip re-assembled skb's in sctp_rcv()
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Add get_paddrs/get_laddrs support. (ardelle.fan)
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix to correctly update rwnd for non-linear skbs.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix hardcoded stream counts.
Code had hardcoded limits to the maximum stream that could be used,
and consequent static data structures. Now dynamically allocate
storage for the SSN maps until _after_ we know what they are.
Protocols such as SIP want to use all possible streams.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Add jitter to the heartbeat interval. (ardelle.fan)
Per RFC 2960 (well, impl-guide corrections really) add a jitter in the
range of -50% to +50% of the current rto to the heartbeat interval.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Turn off hearbeat timers earlier in shutdown.
Per clarifications made in the SCTP implementor's guide,
we should stop sending heartbeats as soon as we either send
SHUTDOWN or send SHUTDOWN-ACK.
Cleanup sctp_transport_t -> sctp_transport.
Fix some missing entries in the statetable for HB related events.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] SCTP path mtu discovery support for v4 addresses.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix merge conflicts.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Mark as "unsafe" module. Some dead code removal.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Free chunks in retransmit and control queues on outq_teardown()
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Minor fixes to icmp error handler.
* Ignore any (ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED, ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME) errors due to ip
fragment reassembly timeouts.
* Make sure that transport's pmtu is not set to a value lower than
SCTP_DEFAULT_MINSEGMENT even when the value reported by
(ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED) error is lower.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Overlapping INIT check not right for case 'B'.
Auditing code I see that case 'B' is checking against tie-tag fields.
This is not right, should be checking against peer_vtag == 0, per the
RFC.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix to update rwnd on partial reads.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Handle requests of 0 streams & missing state cookie.
Cleaning up some RFC 2960 corner cases. We need to ABORT the case
where peer requests inbound/outbound streams of value 0. We need
to abort the missing state cookie case.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Remove __exit from sctp_proc_exit.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Cleanup of association bind address list initialization.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix af->dst_saddr() to fill in the port.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix large message sends.
Fix limitation where we could not send messages that exceeded the
maximum data chunk size. We still need partial data delivery to
accept messages with len > rwnd, but this fixes the sending. Sends
are still limited (as per the I-D) to SNDBUF.
Additionally, we can now 'bundle' fragmented DATA with the
Cookie-Echo packet, not just a small message.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] IPV6_SCTP__ should be a tristate.
Otherwise, an invalid configuration of sctp builtin and ipv6 as
a module.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] sctp v6 source address selection support.
<agrover@groveronline.com>
ACPI: fix compile on IA64 (Matthew Wilcox)
<zaitcev@redhat.com>
[SUNZILOG]: Fix TX and interrupt bugs.
- Make sure to clear SUNZILOG_FLAG_TX_ACTIVE
- Handle TX completion events properly
- Do not forget R1 reg initialization for ttys.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[IPV4]: Fix cut&paste error in fold_field.
<ahaas@airmail.net>
[NETFILTER]: C99 initializers for net_ipv4_netfilter.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[SPARC64]: Add TCSBRKP ioctl translation, thanks Anton.
<rob@osinvestor.com>
[SPARC]: Move away from flush_page_to_ram.
<hadi@cyberus.ca>
[SCHED GRED]: Another bug found by Stanford Checker.
<ahaas@airmail.net>
[NETFILTER]: C99 initializers for net_ipv6_netfilter.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Fix up lots of 'comparison between signed and unsigned' warnings
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Fix same logic bug in KT400 mode determination.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Don't oops when deregistering failed to init agp modules.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Handle the "KT400 in disguise as a KT266" case.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Handle failure during initialisation more gracefully.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Add ident for VIA KT400 in disguise as a KT266
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] More failure path sanity checking.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] VIA KT400 Aperture size is 12 bit in AGP3 mode.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] kt400's enable routine can't be __init
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] alpha agp infrastructure
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] First step towards multiple AGP buses.
The AGP3 spec allows for >1 AGP bus. This is the first of several patches
from Jeff Hartmann towards a context-using agp_bridge, by replacing
agp_bridge.foo accesses with agp_bridge->foo accesses. For now, there
should be no functional differences, as there is still only a single
agp_bridge_data struct defined.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Add extra VIA GART IDs.
Based upon information from VIA, this also adds a bunch of placeholder
entries that will get filled in over time when they have been proven
to work with the code with no extra modification.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Additional VIA ids.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Fix missed agp_bridge conversion that caused oops.
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[AGPGART] Merge VIA KT400 AGP3 support into main via-agp module.
This removes lots of annoying problems trying to prevent both modules
from being loaded, and also shares quite a bit of code.
CONFIG_AGP3 will disable AGP3 mode operation of KT400s.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Remove pointless enums from VIA GART driver.
<davej@tetrachloride.(none)>
[AGPGART] Enable support for VIA PLE133 chipset
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Fix synchronous writers to wait properly for the result
Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> points out a bug in
ll_rw_block() usage.
Typical usage is:
mark_buffer_dirty(bh);
ll_rw_block(WRITE, 1, &bh);
wait_on_buffer(bh);
the problem is that if the buffer was locked on entry to this code sequence
(due to in-progress I/O), ll_rw_block() will not wait, and start new I/O. So
this code will wait on the _old_ I/O, and will then continue execution,
leaving the buffer dirty.
It turns out that all callers were only writing one buffer, and they were all
waiting on that writeout. So I added a new sync_dirty_buffer() function:
void sync_dirty_buffer(struct buffer_head *bh)
{
lock_buffer(bh);
if (test_clear_buffer_dirty(bh)) {
get_bh(bh);
bh->b_end_io = end_buffer_io_sync;
submit_bh(WRITE, bh);
} else {
unlock_buffer(bh);
}
}
which allowed a fair amount of code to be removed, while adding the desired
data-integrity guarantees.
UFS has its own wrappers around ll_rw_block() which got in the way, so this
operation was open-coded in that case.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] ncpfs compile fix
Patch from Joel Becker <Joel.Becker@oracle.com>
The task_struct->sig -> task_struct->signal bits.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] de4x5 compile fix
Move the definition of version[] down to where __initdata has been defined.
<rddunlap@osdl.org>
[PATCH] checker bounds/limits fixes
Part of the bounds checking bugs found by the Stanford checker.
The 4 fixes below have been acked by their maintainers.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: sed compatibility fixes
Some versions of sed seem to think \w, as in word, doesn't include
digits, which breaks the build with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. So we
just use the more compatible [<space><tab>]*.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: Handle the "no modules" case
When the user selects CONFIG_MODVERSIONS but doesn't build anything
modular, the post-processing step does nothing (right, as there is
nothing to be done), but it also gave an error, which it shouldn't.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: cosmetics
From ram <ram@curvesoft.com>:
> Appended below is a small patch to the top-level makefile; it
> -- replaces a call to $(shell/echo/sed) with $(subst) and adds a
> comment
> -- fixes some typos.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: Customflags for cmd_objcopy
From Konrad Eisele:
> like with cmd_ld in scripts/Makefile.lib having possibility to add
> customflags with cmd_objcopy would be nice. When building a
> ROMKernel I'd like to use:
> OBJCOPYFLAGS_rompiggydata := --remove-section=.text
> OBJCOPYFLAGS_$(MODEL)piggytext := --only-section=.text
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: Allow for ',$ in commands
Quote ',$ before passing them to the shell - ' must be escaped for
echo, $$ will be converted to $ by make.
This allows to use e.g. perl commands in the build with support
from the generic $(call if_changed,...).
by Konrad Eisele
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[WATCHDOG] PNP API conversion.
Done by Adam Belay.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] uninline get_jiffies_64() for 32-bit architectures
uninline get_jiffies_64() for 32-bit architectures
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] use per-cpu data for ia32 profiler
Patch from Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com>
Converts the ia32 kernel profiler to use use the percpu area infrastructure.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] NUMAQ io_apic programming fix
Patch from William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>
Don't touch IO-APIC physid's on NUMA-Q. The BIOS pre-programs them.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] ext3: Remove journal_try_start()
journal_try_start() is a function which nonblockingly attempts to open a JBD
transaction handle. It was added a long time ago when there were concerns
that ext3_writepage() could block kswapd for too long.
It was never clearly necessary.
So the patch throws it all away and just calls the blocking journal_start()
from ext3_writepage().
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] DAC960 Stanford Checker fix
Patch from Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
This was found by the Standford Checker.
The LogicalDeviceNumber bad range test was changed from > to >=
I also replaced a couple of panic() calls with error messages,
since panic-ing seemed a little extreme.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Add David Olien MAINTAINERs for DAC960
(I asked Dave for this...)
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
Add me as maintainer for DAC960 driver.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] nforce2 IDE support for the amd74xx driver
Patch from James Curbo <phoenix@sandwich.net>
The amd74xx IDE driver in 2.5.59 has support for the nforce IDE controller,
but not explicitly for the nforce2 IDE controller (which has a different PCI
ID, which is in the kernel already). I'm not sure if the nforce and nforce2
controllers are identical, but I made a small patch that made the amd74xx
driver recognize the nforce2 IDE, and it boots for me, seems to work fine, as
my drives were tuned to their highest transfer rate automatically (udma5).
I don't know if this patch is proper or correct, but it Works for Me [tm].
Patch is attached.
Vojtech has acked this change.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] hugetlbpage MAP_FIXED fix
We need to validate that the address and length of a MAP_FIXED request are
suitable for hugetlb pages.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] remove unneeded test from radix_tree_extend()
Patch from: Szabolcs Berecz <szabi@mplayerhq.hu>
No need to check root->rnode in the loop. In the loop it remains nonzero.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] ext3 commenting cleanup
Redo the (strange) layout of some of Roger's comments.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Don't run unlock_super() in ext3_fill_super()
A very long time ago ext3_fill_super() was beng called under the VFS's
lock_super(), and it had to drop that lock for deadlock avoidance reasons.
But the VFS was later changed to not take lock_super() across ->fill_super(),
so we're upping a non-downed semaphore.
Just take it out.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] remove the buffer_head mempool
mempools have the wrong semantics for use by buffer_heads. The problem
scenario:
- Process A calls mempool_alloc(), asking for a buffer_head.
- While process A sleeps, process B frees up a ton of memory.
That's it. There is no longer any memory pressure, so nobody frees any
buffer_heads, so process A does not get woken up. I managed to trigger this
in some testing recently.
One approach would be to use a schedule_timeout(2) in mempool_alloc().
Anyway, the importance of buffer_head allocation was lessened when swapout
stopped using them, so let's just drop the mempool out of it for now.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] fix current->user->processes leak
Patch from: Eric Lammerts <eric@lammerts.org>
Every time you do a loop mount, a kernel thread is started (those
processes are called "loop0", "loop1", etc.). The problem is that when
it starts, it's counted as one of your processes. Then, it's
changed to be a root-owned process without correcting that count.
Patch below fixes the problem. It moves the bookkeeping of changing
current->user to a new function switch_uid() (which is now also used
by exec_usermodehelper() in kmod.c). The patch is tested.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] 3c509 compile fix
Patch from Marc Zyngier <mzyngier@freesurf.fr>
Fix compilation of 3c509.c
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Get 3c59x to compile on non-PCI systems
Patch from Marc Zyngier <mzyngier@freesurf.fr>
My previous round of EISA hacking left the 3c59x driver unable to
compile on non-PCI systems (that is, EISA only...).
This small patch fixes it.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[AF_UNIX] Cleanup forall_unix_sockets.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[X25]: Fix improper | precendence, pointed out by Joern Engel.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[ECONET]: Add comment to point out a bug spotted by Joern Engel.
<rob@osinvestor.com>
[SPARC]: HEAD --> HEAD_Y
<rob@osinvestor.com>
[SPARC]: ADd init_sighand.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TULIP DE4X5]: Cannot use initdata before including linux/init.h
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TCP]: Do not bump backoff too high during 0-window probes.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[SIGNAL]: Allow more platforms to use generic get_signal_to_deliver.
The few platforms that cannot use the generic
get_signal_to_deliver implementation cannot do
so because they do special things for ptraced
children. This can be easily avoided and thus
all of the signal handling code duplication can
be eliminated.
This is the first part, which adds a platform hook
right before the parent of the ptraced child is woken.
Data can be passed in via a cookie argument.
The next part will be dealing with platforms
that need to muck with breakpoints in the child
in this same code block.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] ftape divide-by-zero found by Stanford Checker
This fixes a potential divide-by-zero found by the Stanford Checker.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] bounds/limits fixes (Stanford Checker)
This fixes several trivial bounds/limits errors that were pointed out by
the Stanford Checker.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] sched_init enables interrupts too early
wake_up_forked_process() unconditionally enables interrupts. It is called
from sched_init(). Enabling interrupts that early makes Anton's ppc64
machine lock up.
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] signal error return fix
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] genhd device unregistration fix
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
If we set TIF_SIGPENDING for SIGCONT, we have to wake up any sleeping
tasks (even if we don't otherwise need to wake anything up), since
otherwise later signals would see that signals are already pending and
wouldn't cause wakeups.
<levon@movementarian.org>
[PATCH] oprofile: Pentium IV support
The below patch implements a P4 driver for OProfile, mostly written
by Graydon Hoare.
<levon@movementarian.org>
[PATCH] oprofile: CPU type as string
This patch updates the horrible enum for the logical CPU type with a
string instead.
<levon@movementarian.org>
[PATCH] oprofile: fix oprofilefs integer files base
This patch allows the oprofilefs files to take entry in any base
instead of just base 10
<levon@movementarian.org>
[PATCH] oprofile: kernel/user addresses fix
This patch replaces the assumption that > PAGE_OFFSET == kernel address
with testing for user_mode(regs) and inserting switch codes instead.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: scripts/fixdep.c doesn't close files when finished
From Chris Wedgwood:
> fixdep doesn't close files when finished with them... normally this
> doesn't matter unless you have strict ulimits in place.
>
> Trivial fix is:
<torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com>
Report shared pending signals in /proc/<pid>/status
Patch from Roland McGrath.
<torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com>
Sanitize kernel daemon signal handling and process naming.
Add a name argument to daemonize() (va_arg) to avoid all the
kernel threads having to duplicate the name setting over and
over again.
Make daemonize() disable all signals by default, and add a
"allow_signal()" function to let daemons say they explicitly
want to support a signal.
Make flush_signal() take the signal lock, so that callers do
not need to.
<torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com>
Add macthing 'va_end()' to the 'va_start()' in daemonize().
Not that it makes any difference on x86, but there may be
architectures that actually need it.
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] nfs fix
nfs must not use MINORBITS - that fails with 32-bit dev_t
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[AGPGART] Remove unneeded AMD8151 shadowing in the K8 GART driver.
The 8151 GART registers aren't actually necessary to poke, and are
only there for 'legacy reasons' aparently.
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[AGPGART] Cache K8 northbridges pci_devs instead of scanning whole PCI bus
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
[PATCH] apm daemonize
Since daemonize now blocks all signals, this simplification is trivially
correct.
<ak@muc.de>
[PATCH] x86-64 merge
This brings the x86-64 port uptodate in 2.5.60. Unfortunately I cannot
test too much because i constantly get deadlocks in exit/wait in initscripts
on SMP bootup. The kernel seems to still lose a lot of SIGCHLD. 2.5.59/SMP
had the same problem. Uniprocessor and SMP kernel on UP seems to work.
This patch only touches x86-64 specific files. It requires a few simple
changes to arch independent files that I will send separately.
- Fixed a lot of obsolete/misleading configure help texts.
- Remove old bootblock disk loader and support fdimage target for syslinux
instead (H. Peter Anvin)
- Fix potential fpu signal restore problem on 32bit emulation.
- Merge with 2.5.60 i386 (hugetlbfs, acpi etc.)
- Some fixes for local apic disabled modus.
- Beginngs of S3 ACPI wakeup from real-mode (not working yet, don't use)
- Beginnings of NUMA/CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM support for AMD K8 (work in progress,
port from 2.4): clean up memory mapping at bootup, generalize bootmem etc.
- Fix 64bit GS base reload problem and reenable (Karsten Keil)
- Fix race with vmalloc accesses from interrupt handlers disturbing page fault/
similar race for the debug handler (thanks to Andrew Morton)
- Merge cpu access primitives with i386
- Revert to private module list for now because putting modules
nto vmlist triggered too many problems.
- Some cleanups, removal of unneeded code.
- Let early __get_free_pages see consistent pda
- Preempt disabled for now because it is too broken right now
- Signal handler fixes
- Fix do_gettimeofday to be completely lockless and reenable vsyscalls
- Optimize context switch path a bit (should be ported to i386)
- Get thread_info via stack for better code
- Don't leak pmd pages
- Clean up hardcoded task stack sizes.

[SPARC64]: sigprocmask/sigpending compat layer conversion.
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
[PATCH] parisc compatibility layer update
At Linux Conf AU, Willy asked me to send any further parisc compatibility
changes directly to you, so this is what I have outstanding. Basically,
it is just the uses of compat_sigset_t that seemed to have been missed in
the previous merges.
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
[PATCH] x86_64 compatibility layer update
Andi has asked that I send these straight forward compatibility patches
to you and he will fix up any merge problems later. These are the

<pavel@ucw.cz>
[PATCH] Fix stack handling in acpi_wakeup.S
This fixes stack handling in acpi_wakeup.S, and makes stack smaller so
that wakeup code actually fits inside memory allocated for it. Plus
someone renamed .L1432 to something meaningful.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sleep: fix /proc/acpi/sleep write handling.
- Prevent users from screwing themselves by removing support for entering
S5 from the proc file. S5 is 'soft-off' and the state the system enters
when powering down. It needs to be preceded by a proper shutdown sequence
and should not be triggered manually.
- Fix a potential unchecked array reference using the written value as the
index.
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[CPUFREQ] Properly set memory allocated by x86 cpufreq drivers to zero.
From Dominik Brodowski
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[CPUFREQ] add support for cpufreq governors.
More bits from Dominik.
Most cpufreq drivers (in fact, all except one, longrun) or even most
cpu frequency scaling algorithms only offer the CPU to be set to one
frequency. In order to offer dynamic frequency scaling, the cpufreq
core must be able to tell these drivers of a "target frequency". So
these specific drivers will be transformed to offer a "->target"
call instead of the existing "->setpolicy" call. For "longrun", all
stays the same, though.
How to decide what frequency within the CPUfreq policy should be used?
That's done using "cpufreq governors". Two are already in this patch
-- they're the already existing "powersave" and "performance" which
set the frequency statically to the lowest or highest frequency,
respectively. At least two more such governors will be ready for
addition in the near future, but likely many more as there are various
different theories and models about dynamic frequency scaling
around. Using such a generic interface as cpufreq offers to scaling
governors, these can be tested extensively, and the best one can be
selected for each specific use.
Basically, it's the following flow graph:
CPU can be set to switch independetly | CPU can only be set
within specific "limits" | to specific frequencies
"CPUfreq policy"
consists of frequency limits (policy->{min,max})
and CPUfreq governor to be used
/ \
/ \
/ the cpufreq governor decides
/ (dynamically or statically)
/ what target_freq to set within
/ the limits of policy->{min,max}
/ \
/ \

[PATCH] disassociate_ctty SMP fix
Patch from Rik van Riel <riel@conectiva.com.br>
the following patch, against today's BK tree, fixes a small

from do_exit, without the BKL held.
However, it sets the *tty variable before grabbing the bkl,
then makes decisions on what the variable was set to before
the lock was grabbed, despite the fact that another process
could modify its ->tty pointer in this same function.

All fs should be using dcache APIs to manipulate dcache hash lists. This is

accepted. This seems like a reasonable cleanup. One change though, we don't
need to grab dcache_lock while deleting dentries from the private list and
__d_drop() should suffice here.

[PATCH] OSS CS4232 locking fixes
Patch from: Peter Waechtler <pwaechtler@mac.com>
Addresses BUGME bug #331. "OSS CS4232 nasty spinlock printks on boot"
The locking in some OSS modules is really lousy.
Because save_flags/cli/restore_flags could be used recursivly - the
programmers pushed the locking too far the lower level.
Because on ISA cards the register sets are usually multiplexed
you had to write to an address latch and then access the data port
in an "atomic" manner.
I suggest removing the locking from ad_read/ad_write +
ad_{enter|leave}_MCE and clamping the locks wherever the functions
are called. I hope the attached patch does that correctly.
Yes, I don't like all the timeout loops while holding the locks:
high chances that a cpu is spinning in interrupt context :(

<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] printk size_t qualifier confusion
My printf manpage says:
z A following integer conversion corresponds to a
size_t or ssize_t argument. (Linux libc5 has Z with
this meaning. Don't use it.)
And the opengroup spec says
z Specifies that a following d , i , o , u , x , or X conversion specifier
applies to a size_t or the corresponding signed integer type argument; or
that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a signed
integer type corresponding to a size_t argument.
yet our vsnprintf implementation has
/* 'z' support added 23/7/1999 S.H. */
/* 'z' changed to 'Z' --davidm 1/25/99 */
I guess the path of least surprise is to support both. gcc-3.2.1 doesn't
seem to care.

[WATCHDOG] printk levels for pcwd.c
<mochel@osdl.org>

ACPI: Lower errorlevel of a debug message (Matthew Wilcox)
<mochel@osdl.org>
acpi: fix recently introduced proc-related bugs.
Recently, the acpi proc files were changed to use the seq_file interface.
As a result of this, the write methods became top-level write() methods
(i.e. not called by the proc layer).
Whoever made these changes, did not take into account that the parameters
passed to these changed. The fourth parameter previously was a void*, that
pointed to the private data for the owner of the file, and some of the
methods still expected this, even though the parameter is now an loff_t*,
and points to the offset into the file that is being written. Huge Bug.
This fixes the broken methods to look in the same place as the other
methods (i.e. in the file's private data).
<mochel@osdl.org>
acpi: split sleep support into generic portion, and procfs-handlers.
<mochel@osdl.org>
Consolidate ACPI and APM sysrq implementations.
Each power management scheme was implmenting a sysrq callback for 'o' which
would call their respective power off routines.
This moves the installation of the sysrq handler to kernel/pm.c, and calls
pm_power_off(), which will work for any platform that has that method
defined.
<mochel@osdl.org>
acpi sleep: divorce sleep functionality from power off functionality.
When ACPI turns the system off on shutdown, it actually enters S5, a sleep
state. This functionality is dependent on CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP, which is
dependent on CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND.
This patch breaks the power off functionality into a separate file, and
removes the dependency on the above-mentioned crap. Finally, power off works
for me again.
Thanks to Tobias Ringstrom for the original patch.

[PATCH] ia32 TSC timer cleanup
Patch from: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>
This cleanup patch makes fast_gettimeoffset_quotient (a timer_tsc specific

independent.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Cyclone timer fixes
Patch from: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>
This patch "fixes" the timer_cyclone code by having it
initialize fast_gettimeoffset_quotient and cpu_khz in the same manner as
timer_tsc. This is required for enabling the timer_cyclone code on the
x440.
Ideally fast_gettimeoffset_quotient would not be used outside timer_tsc
and cpu_khz would be initialized generically outside the timer
subsystem. I have patches to do this, but they touch quite a bit of
generic code, and I'd rather not make the timer_cyclone enablement
(patch to follow) depend on these larger changes.

[atm nicstar] fix incorrect traffic class assumption
I have encountered a bug in the nicstar ATM driver for linux.
If you open a CBR TX only connection on a specific vpi/vci and later open a RX
only connection on the same vpi/vci, the RX connection will overwrite the
pointer to the SCQ of the TX connection. This changes the cell rate of the TX
channel and what is worse is that when the TX connection is closed we get a
segmentationfault and the TX part of the vpi/vci remains reserved.
The bug in the driver is that if the opened channel is not TX CBR, the driver
assumes it is TX UBR. I have attached a patch that adds a check for TX UBR.
The patch is against RedHat kernel 2.4.18-3. I have checked linux vanilla
kernels 2.4.19 and 2.5.49 and not found a fix.

New low level tms380 driver for Proteon 1392 / 1392+ cards
(port from existing 2.2 kernel code)
Add spinlock to fix race condition in tms380tr.
Fix startup of tmsisa to not register and unregister devices multiple
times, so hotplug doesn't run wild.
Add support for statically compiling tmsisa into kernel.
Remove unnecessary console SPAM during boot.
Fixed probing of ISA devices in tmsisa.
Fixed unsafe reference counting.
Fixed __init function causing Oops with new module system.
Rename tmsisa to skisa.

<alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
[PATCH] Remove i2o-lan
There are no known cards outside of labs that used i2o_lan. The only
exception is the Redcreek VPN, which has its own driver anyway. Note
i2o_lan.h is left as i2o_config can still understand i2o_lan devices
such as the RedCreek.
