<shaggy@shaggy.austin.ibm.com>
JFS: i_acl & i_default_acl are not being re-initialized
These fields were not being reset to JFS_ACL_NOT_CACHED when jfs_inode_info
was reused from the slab cache.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Bug fix for bind_bucket leak & heartbeat error count.
Off by one error causes us to think that there was an error one the first
heartbeat timeout. Also, fix leak in bind_buckets.
<bunk@fs.tum.de>
kbuild: [PATCH] document modules_install in "make help"
The patch below adds information about modules_install to "make help".
<sam@ravnborg.org>
kbuild: [PATCH] Remove duplicate definitions in Makefile.build
After introducing support for the checker tool, is was
apparent that too much duplicate definitions were present for
the two cases with and without CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.
This patch collects the definitions, without adding new functionality.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Use non-prefetch list walker for short list.
Something weird is happening with prefetch during our module init.
Notified Andi, but this is at least a workaround for us dying.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] CANT_STR_ASSOC could/should return error up to user. (ardelle.fan)
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Support for socket options that pass both addr and associd.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Multiple causes may be embedded in an ERROR chunk (ardelle.fan)
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Don't use path thresholds determine the overall error thresh.
This was too cautious; let the user set what they really want. This
is preventing the Lockheed folks from doing interesting failover tests
setting all path_retrans to 0 (for immediate failover).
<hch@lab343.munich.sgi.com>
acpi serial stuff
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Support for SCTP_GET_PEER_ADDR_INFO socket option.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic6xxx and Aic79xx Driver Update
o Remove errno and unistd.h usage
o Remove splitting of S/G elements that cross
a 4GB boundary. Code above the driver already
guatantees that this cannot happen.
o Simplify irqreturn_t compatibility glue.
o Fix GCC 3.3 warnings.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic79XX Driver Update
o Fixup spelling of "coalesce" and derivatives.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx Driver Update
o Fix a few twin channel target id calculation bugs
in the domain validation code. These would only
effect the 2742T.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx Driver README update
o Add a changelog entry for 6.2.34
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Merge in latest 2.5.X tree changes.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Rename struct sctp_protocol as struct sctp_globals and define
macros for all the global fields in the structure.
This is to avoid the confusion with the static variable sctp_protocol
of type struct inet_protocol. Also fixes some calls that pass the
global variable as an argument.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] SCTP_SHUTDOWN_EVENT notification support.
<hch@de.rmk.(none)>
[PATCH] kill register_pccard_driver
I tried to get as much in as possible through the maintainers but
didn't get much feedback.. (Except two batches included and Kai
ACKing the ISDN stuff).
So here's a big patch to move the reamining users over to
pcmcia_register_driver and kill it off.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: fix compile warnings
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: fix misreporting of unhandled IRQs in xics IPI
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: cleanup some hardcoded constants
<andmike@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] Call release on scsi legacy LLDD
In the sysfs scsi host reference counting merge the call to a legacy hosts
release function was removed.
This patch adds the call back in.
This patch was tested with insmod / rmmod on LLDDs using the legacy interface
and LLDDs using the new interface:
Legacy Interface:
qla2xxx-v8.00.00b1
qlogicisp
aic7xxx_old (Does not call scsi_unregister in release, but unloaded)
New Interface:
scsi_debug
aic7xxx (Many illegal context warnings caused by mid vs LLDD primitive
mixing, but appears to unload clean).

[PATCH] fix irq handling for DC395
this fix makes sure that all test in irq handling in that
driver are for NULL thus fixing an oops.
<dougg@torque.net>
[PATCH] scsi_mid_low_api.txt in lk 2.5.69
This is a catch up, applying the patch that Andries
Brouwer sent a while back. It will apply to lk 2.5.69
and 2.5.69-bk10 .
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] give ->proc_info a struct Scsi_Host * parameter
Yeah, I know the method is obsolete but for proper refcounting we
need to get rid of all those scsi_host_hn_get() abusers.
scsi_host_hn_get() and scsi_host_put() are not exported anymore
after this patch.
<stevef@steveft21.ltcsamba>
Make return code on failed cifs mounts more specific and fix incorrect smb to posix return code conversions
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[PATCH] AM53C974 request region.
Request port before using it.

ppc64: Fix a bad shift against PCI_BASE_CLASS_BRIDGE from Will Schmidt
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx and Aic79xx Updates
o Consistently access the COMMAND PCI space register
via 16bit operations.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic79xx Update
o Add support for the 7901B
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic79xx Driver Update
o Change handling of the Rev. A packetized lun output bug
to be more efficient by having the sequencer copy the
single byte of valid lun data into the long lun field.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>

<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
Fix up proc_info conversion in 53c700
The host variable is now passed in, so we shouldn't have a
similar variable defined in the proc_info routine
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: fix for boot cpu > 31
<perex@suse.cz>
ALSA update
- fixed sscape driver Makefile
- fixed spin deadlock in PCM midlevel
- added AC'97 detection workaround to ens1370 and nm256 drivers
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
Fix while in spinup loop of sd
We must loop on UNIT ATTENTION sense (to clear the condition). However, the code
is assuming that a sense condition will always be accompanied by a not good status.
We have several drivers in the tree that return GOOD with DRIVER_SENSE, so make the
loop condition reflect this.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: Report cpus > 32 in proc/cpuinfo correctly
<mochel@osdl.org>
drver model: Add release method for class devices.
From Manuel Estrada Sainz <ranty@debian.org>
So device classes can intercept the generic object release method.

<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] isa_writeb args interchanged
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] scsi: ten -> use_10_for_rw / use_10_for_ms
In the old days, ancient scsi devices understood 6-byte commands
and more recent ones also understood 10-byte commands.
Thus, we had a "ten" flag indicating that 10-byte commands worked.
These days, especially for usb-storage devices, the opposite
sometimes holds - 10-byte commands are supported, but 6-byte commands
are not.
The patch below changes the field ten into the pair of fields
use_10_for_rw, use_10_for_ms set initially when the driver
thinks these are supported. Ifthe device returns ILLEGAL_REQUEST
they are cleared.
This patch obsoletes a large amount of code in usb-storage,
and not only that, once the subsequent patch removes all this
usb-storage code many devices will work that hang today.

<Eddie.Williams@steeleye.com>
[PATCH] scsi: allow devices to restrict start on add
When a SCSI disk is added and it returns a NOT READY the SD driver is
automatically sending a START_UNIT command to spin the device up. While this
may be the desired behavior for many if not most devices not all devices
either want or need this. The attached patch provides a mechanism via the
device_list that allows a device to be defined to disable the automatic start
being issued on an add.
The patch also modifies the device_list for several devices that would prefer
to not have the start command issued.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx Driver Update
o Fix disabling of PCI parity error interrupts. We need to set
FAILDIS in the SEQCTL register, not the HCNTRL register.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx and Aic79xx Driver Updated
o Remove "cam_status cam_status" code where the variable
name shaddows the type. This is legal, but a bit
confusing.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx Driver Update
o Correct/Simplify ignore wide residue message handling
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx Driver Update
o Be more conservative in testing FIFOEMP before calling an
overrun on a data transfer.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic79xx Driver Update
o Correct/Simplify ignore wide residue message handling
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Aic7xxx and Aic79xx Driver Updates
o Fix style nits.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Bump aic79xx driver version to 1.3.9
<oliver@neukum.org>
[PATCH] improve Documentation for DC395
this improves the Documentation for the DC395 driver for 2.5.

PPC32: Fix preempt bugs identified by Milton Miller.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Discard the __ksymtab* sections when we are linking the boot wrapper.

PPC32: Re-open I/O windows on PCI-PCI bridges, needed for some powermacs.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Better handling of program check exceptions on 4xx, patch from Kumar Gala.
With this patch we read the ESR (exception syndrome register) early on in handling
the program check exception, before reenabling the MMU and save it in the stack
frame. This avoids having the value overwritten by a subsequent exception.
<porter@cox.net>
PPC32: Fix a compile error on 4xx embedded PowerPC.

PPC32: Simplify the BUG() implementation for now (a better one is coming).

[PATCH] SCSI: Make sysfs attributes mutable
The attached patch makes the sysfs attributes a property of the host
template (I can't really see a reason why the actual attributes need to
change per host, so I think the template is the better place for them).
I've also provided helper functions to modify the attributes in the LLD
init routines.
<James.Bottomley@steeleye.com>
[PATCH] Use of the new attribute modifiers on the 53c700
The attached patch illustrates how the new attribute functions can be
used.
The 53c700 modifies the queue_depth attribute so it can be set by the
root user, and also adds a new active_tags attribute which may be used
to obtain the information it currently puts out via its proc interface.
This achieves all I think we really need, which is the ability to have
LLDs provide their own routines for setting the default attributes.

qla1280: convert the driver to be endian neutral
This makes the driver compile and run on the PARISC platform.
The biggest issue for this driver is the firmware layout because
the chip insists on reading from firmware a 16 bit word at a time,
so the entire byte layout of the firmware had to be reversed.

[IPV6]: Fix order of destruction of procfs.

[AGPGART] Remove useless early agp_init() from i810fb
agp_init() just printk's a banner. This is unnecessary at this early stage.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] truncate and timestamps
This patch will put us back to the 2.4 behaviour while preserving the
truncation speedup. It's a bit dopey (why do the timestamp update in
the fs at all?) but changing this stuff tends to cause subtle
problems.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] callout removal: callout is gone
OK, that's it - no callout drivers left, so we drop the warning from
tty_open() and kill the code that handles them in /proc/tty/drivers.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Export bio_split_pool for md to use.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Use new single page bio splitting for raid0 and linear
Sometimes raid0 and linear are required to take a single page bio that
spans two devices. We use bio_split to split such a bio into two.
The the same time, bio.h is included by linux/raid/md.h so
we don't included it elsewhere anymore.
We also modify the mergeable_bvec functions to allow a bvec
that doesn't fit if it is the first bvec to be added to
the bio, and be careful never to return a negative length from a
bvec_mergable funciton.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Handle concurrent failure of two drives in raid5
If two drives both fail during a write request, raid5 doesn't
cope properly and will eventually oops.
With this patch, blocks that have already been 'written'
are failed when double drive failure is noticed, as well as
blocks that are about to be written.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Improve test for which raid1 device doesn't need to be written to.
Instead of testing last_used (which could change in unusual circumstances) we
test against the bdev that we read frmo, and don't write back to there.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Fix simple off-by-one error in md driver.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Get rid of vmalloc/vfree from raid0
raid0 currently uses vmalloc instead of kmalloc. This patch
changes to kmalloc.
There is one allocation that can occasionally be very large - the hash_table.
A subsequent patch will address this issue.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Always allow a half-built md array to be stopped.
When starting an array fails, we have to tear it down, but
in some circumstances (particularly autostart_array) the
reference count will be 3, so do_md_stop will fail.
With this patch we only worry about the number of users
is the array has been fully started.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Improve raid0 mapping code to simplify and reduce mem usage.
To cope with a raid0 array with differing sized devices,
raid0 divides an array into "strip zones".
The first zone covers the start of all devices, upto an offset
equal to the size of the smallest device.
The second strip zone covers the remaining devices upto the size of the
next smallest size, etc.
In order to determing which strip zone a given address is in,
the array is logically divided into slices the size of the smallest
zone, and a 'hash' table is created listing the first and, if relevant,
second zone in each slice.
As the smallest slice can be very small (imagine an array with a
76G drive and a 75.5G drive) this hash table can be rather large.
With this patch, we limit the size of the hash table to one page,
at the possible cost of making several probes into the zone list
before we find the correct zone.
We also cope with the possibility that a zone could be larger than
a 32bit sector address would allow.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Remove dependancy on MD_SB_DISKS from multipath
Multipath has a dependancy on MD_SB_DISKS which is no
longer authoritative. We change it to use a separately
allocated array.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Remove dependancy on MD_SB_DISKS from raid5
One embeded array gets moved to end of structure and
sized dynamically.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Remove dependancy on MD_SB_DISKS from raid0
Arrays with type-1 superblock can have more than
MD_SB_DISKS, so we remove the dependancy on that number from
raid0, replacing several fixed sized arrays with one
dynamically allocated array.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Remove MD_SB_DISKS limits from raid1
raid1 uses MD_SB_DISKS to size two data structures,
but the new version-1 superblock allows for more than
this number of disks (and most actual arrays use many
fewer).
This patch sizes to two arrays dynamically.
One becomes a separate kmalloced array.
The other is moved to the end of the containing structure
and appropriate extra space is allocated.
Also, change r1buf_pool_alloc (which allocates buffers for
a mempool for doing re-sync) to not get r1bio structures
from the r1bio pool (which could exhaust the pool) but instead
to allocate them separately.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Remove dependance on MD_SB_DISKS in linear personality
Linear uses one array sized by MD_SB_DISKS inside a structure.
We move it to the end of the structure, declare it as size 0,
and arrange for approprate extra space to be allocated on
structure allocation.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] md: Replace bdev_partition_name with calls to bdevname
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] create m68knommu/coldfire specific ints.c
Create a m68knommu/ColdFire specific ints.c. It is just simpler to
have one for each sub-architecture (which means we currently need 3
for the 3 prominant m68knommu families). Each can handle the hardware
setup differences, and there is a few at this level.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] remove common m68knommu ints.c
Remove the m68knommu common ints.c. No longer needed with each

[netdrvr bonding] fix long failover in 802.3ad mode
This patch fixes the bug reported by Jay on April 3rd regarding long
failover time when releasing the last slave in the active aggregator. The
fix, as suggested by Jay, is to follow the spec recommendation and send a
LACPDU to the partner saying this port is no longer aggregatable and
therefore trigger an immediate re-selection of a new aggregator instead of
waiting the entire expiration timeout.

[netdrvr bonding] fix ABI version control problem
This fix makes bonding not commit to a specific ABI version if the ioctl
command is not supported by bonding.
(It also removes the '\n' in the continuous printk reporting the link down
event in bond_mii_monitor - it got in there by mistake in our previous
patch set and caused log messages to appear funny in some situations).

[netdrvr pcnet32] bug fixes
I would like to see a couple of the pcnet32 changes that I think we can
agree on be put into the trees so a couple of the potential defects can be
avoided. The following patch contains just these pieces. The only
controversial one is an arbitrary change in the number of iterations in a
while loop spinning on hardware state. No matter how this is done, I am
not especially fond of this bit of code as it has no reasonable error
recovery path -- however, as a half-way, incremental solution, increasing
the polling time should help as the 100 value was certainly found to be
insufficient. 1000 may not be sufficient either, but it is certainly no
worse.
Both of the other changes were hit in testing (and I belive the wmb() at a
customer even), so it would help reduce some debug if these go in. Any
feedback is appreciated - thanks.

[PATCH] procfs bug exposed by cdev changes
fs/inode.c assumes that any ->delete_inode() will call clear_inode().
procfs instance doesn't. It had passed unpunished for a while; cdev changes
combined with ALSA creating character devices in procfs made it fatal.
Patch follows. It had fixed ALSA-triggered memory corruption here -
what happens in vanilla 2.5.70 is that clear_inode() is not called when
procfs character device inodes are freed. That leaves a freed inode on
a cyclic list, with obvious unpleasantness following when we try to traverse
it (e.g. when unregistering a device).

pcmcia_unregister_socket(), which it turn tries to access memory

<oliver@neukum.org>
[PATCH] USB: allocate memory for reset earlier
if we fail with -ENOMEM, we should do it before the device must be
reparsed.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB: storage: abort and disconnect handling.
This patch re-organizes abort handling and enhances disconnect handling.
Not only do we keep track of the state (ABORTING, IDLE, etc.), but during
an abort we now introduce the idea of 'okay to send' or not. The idea is
that we can now implement reset-after-abort properly.
We also track if we're disconnecting, and use that data to determine if we
can submit URBs or not. Which means we can now disconnect during an abort.
This patch is from Alan Stern.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB: storage: collapse one-use functions
This patch collapses some one-use functions into their callers. It also
clones some code for control transfers so we can implement abortable

This patch is from Alan Stern.
Remove usb_stor_bulk_msg() and usb_stor_interrupt_msg(). Move their
functionality into usb_stor_bulk_transfer_buf() and
usb_stor_intr_transfer().
Move the functionality of usb_stor_control_msg() into
usb_stor_ctrl_transfer().
Remove the unused act_len parameter from usb_stor_intr_transfer().

for the scsi stack to move forward so please try to forward this

[PATCH] irq balance logic fix
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
The logic is: the global variable is set to the magic value
IRQBALANCE_CHECK_ARCH. It can be overwritten by a __setup function. If
the magic value is still set when the irq balancer is started it asks the
subarchitecture using the NO_BALANCE_IRQ macro. This is defined to a
genapic field in the generic architecture, otherwise constant. Then the
global variable is set and when it is true no balancing happens.
Previously I had this wrong in that it always disabled it.
This part should be correct, but it still doesn't seem to work.
(I left the printk in there until the problem is debugged, could be removed
of course)

[PATCH] Remove unneeded fcntl check
The NR_OPEN check in F_DUPFD is unneeded. viro says:
"We check the limits in locate_fd() (called by dupfd()). Check for NR_OPEN
can (and should) be dropped - locate_fd() will never go beyond that
(expand_fd() will check it and refuse to go).
"IOW, simply lose the check. We _might_ want to check signedness, but that's
it (IOW, check that arg will fit into 0..MAX_INT; second argument of dupfd()
is an int). OTOH, we might actually make dupfd() et.al. take unsigned long
and kill that crap completely."
And indeed, the signedness is suspicious, so make various things in there
unsigned too.

[PATCH] support 64 bit pci_alloc_consistent
From: Jes Sorensen <jes@wildopensource.com>
This is patch which provides support for 64 bit address allocations from
pci_alloc_consistent(), based on the address mask set through
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(). This is necessary on some platforms which
are unable to provide physical memory in the lower 4GB block and do not
provide IOMMU support for cards operating in certain bus modes, such as
PCI-X on the SGI SN2.
The default mask for pci_alloc_consistent() is still 32 bit as there are 64
bit capable hardware out there that doesn't support 64 bit addresses for
descripters etc. Likewise, platforms which provide IOMMU support in all
bus modes can ignore struct pci_dev->consistent_dma_mask and just return a
32 bit address as before.
The patch also includes changes to tg3.c to make it use the new api as well
as a documentation update. I have done my best on the documentation part,
if anyone feel the can make my scribbles clearer, please do.
Thanks to Dave Miller, Grant Grundler, James Bottomley, Colin Ngam, and
Jeremy Higdon for input and code/documentation portions.

of SG_IO structure - in milliseconds. Inconsistent? Yes. Yet it's no
excuse to disregard the specification. "Jiffies" are USER_HZ, 10ms on
IA-32 platforms and has to be scaled to kernel "jiffies," as suggested
below. As for "(jiffies - start_time) * (1000 / HZ)" vs.
"((jiffies - start_time) * 1000) / HZ." Just think that HZ is 1024 on
some platforms...

o n_hdlc: CodingStyle cleanups and removal of old stuff
- remove include kerneld.h, long gone
- some 80 column reformatting
- removal of typedefs
- c99 style documentation, using the existing function documentation
- add MODULE_AUTHOR
- remove GET_USER, COPY_TO_USER and friends
- remove ssize_t typedef, already in the kernel headers
- remove rw_count_t and rw_ret_t, use simple int and size_t as in the
tty ops prototypes and avoiding casts for return
- make strings in printk in init/exit module routines __initdata/__exitdata
saving some bytes after module init and for the case where this driver is
statically linked in the kernel (__exitdata is trown away)
This makes this driver comply with parts of CodingStyle (more to be done) and
makes it looks more like the rest of the kernel, making it easier to read/debug.
Have been using this modifications with ADSL/syncppp for some time, working well.

[PATCH] matroxfb update to new API
This updates the matroxfb driver to the new framebuffer API.
I'm sorry that it is quite large, but due to completely changed
underlying API there is no reasonable way how to split it into smaller
pieces.
- Removed support for text mode. No way for it with current API.
- Removed support for hardware cursor. Generic cursor code has enough
troubles as is, in software mode.
- No reasonable fbset support... It is especially annoying on multihead
system, as 'stty cols XXX rows YYY' does not change pixclock...
- Removed fastfont support. No way for it with current API.
(Mis)features inherited from generic fbdev API:
- Cursor on other framebuffers than primary one does not blink.
- Contents of visible, but not foreground, display is not updated.

[PATCH] USB: usb-storage: timeouts and aborts
This patch adds timeouts to usb_stor_control_msg(). Now we will no longer

This also includes the new serial-number for auto-REQUEST-SENSE change.
The new serial number has one bit toggled from the old, guaranteeing that
it is unique.

[PATCH] I2C: fix oops w83781d during rmmod
This fixes the oops during w83781d module removal by putting the

Also, I fixed a bug where this driver would request and release an

it again.
This patch against 2.5.70 works for me vs. an SMBus adapter. It needs

[PATCH] magazine layer for slab
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
slab.c is not very efficient for passing objects between cpus. Usually this
is a rare event, but with network routing and cpu-affine NICs it is possible
that nearly all allocation operations will occur on one cpu, and nearly all
free operations on another cpu.
This causes slab memory to be returned to slab's free page list rather than
being cached on behalf of the particular slab cache.
The attached patch solves that by adding an array of objects that is shared
by all cpus. Instead of multiple linked list operations per object, object
pointers are now passed to/from the shared array (and thus between cpus) with
memcopy operations. On uniprocessor, the default array size is 0, because
the shared array and the per-cpu head array are redundant.
Additionally, the patch exports more statistics in /proc/slabinfo and make
the array sizes tunable by writing to /proc/slabinfo. Both changes break
backward compatibility, user space scripts must look at the slabinfo version
and act accordingly.
The size of the new shared array may be altered at runtime, by writing to
/proc/slabinfo.
The new parameters for writing to /proc/slabinfo are:
#echo "cache-name limit batchcount shared" > /proc/slabinfo
For example "size-4096 120 60 8" improves the slab efficiency for network
routing, because the default values (24 12 8) are too small for the large
series generated due to irq mitigation. Note that only root has write
permissions to /proc/slabinfo.
These changes provided an overall 12% speedup in Robert Olson's gigE
packet-formwarding testing on 2-way.

[PATCH] More irq balance fixes
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
John Stultz noticed that kirqd didn't start because of another logic error,
which broke irq balancing. This was still a fallout from the generic
subarchitecture changes.
Actually it still refuses to balance anything on my test box, but perhaps
I'm just not able to generate enough interrupts.
Anyways, with this patch the thread is running again at least.

[PATCH] dirty_writeback_centisecs fixes
This /proc tunable sets the kupdate interval. It has a couple of problems:
- No way to turn it off completely (userspace dirty memory management
solutions require this).
- If it has been set to one hour and then the user resets it to five
seconds, that resetting will not take effect for up to an hour.
Fix that up by providing a sysctl handler. Setting the tunable to zero now
disables the kupdate function.

[PATCH] improved core support for time-interpolation
From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>
Basically, what the patch does is provide two hooks such that platforms
(and subplatforms) can provide time-interpolation in a way that guarantees
that two causally related gettimeofday() calls will never see time going
backwards (unless there is a settimeofday() call, of course).
There is some evidence that the current scheme does work: we use it on ia64
both for cycle-counter-based interpolation and the SGI folks use it with a
chipset-based high-performance counter.
It seems like enough platforms do this sort of thing to provide _some_
support in the core, especially because it's rather tricky to guarantee
that time never goes backwards (short of a settimeofday, of course).
This patch is based on something Jes Sorensen wrote for the SGI Itanium 2
platform (which has a chipset-internal high-res clock). I adapted it so it
can be used for cycle-counter interpolation also. The net effect is that
"last_time_offset" can be removed completely from the kernel.
The basic idea behind the patch is simply: every time you advance xtime by
N nanoseconds, you call update_wall_time_hook(NSEC). Every time the time
gets set (i.e., discontinuity is OK), reset_wall_time_hook() is called.

[PATCH] /proc/kcore fixes
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
/proc/kcore has been broken on some architectures for a long time. Problems
surround the fact that some architectures allocate memory for vmalloc() and
thus modules at addresses below PAGE_OFFSET, which results in negative file
offsets in the virtual core file image provided by /proc/kcore. There are
also pending problems for discontig memory systems as /proc/kcore just
pretends that there are no holes between "PAGE_OFFSET" and "high_memory", so
an unwary user (ok super-user) can read non-existant memory which may do bad
things. There may also be kernel objects that would be nice to view in
/proc/kcore, but do not show up there.
A pending change on ia64 to allow booting on machines that don't have
physical memory in any convenient pre-determined place will make things even
worse, because the kernel itself won't show up in the current implementation
of /proc/kcore!
The patch attached provides enough hooks that each architecture should be
able to make /proc/kcore useful. The patch is INCOMPLETE in that *use* of
those hooks is ONLY PROVIDED FOR IA64.
Here's how it works. The default code in fs/proc/kcore.c doesn't set up any
"elf_phdr" sections ... it is left to each architecture to make appropriate
calls to "kclist_add()" to specify a base address and size for each piece of
kernel virtual address space that needs to be made accessible through
/proc/kcore. To get the old functionality, you'll need two calls that look
something like:
kclist_add(&kcore_mem, __va(0),
max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE);
kclist_add(&kcore_vmem, (void *)VMALLOC_START,
VMALLOC_END-VMALLOC_START);
The first makes all of memory visible (__i386__, __mc68000__ and __x86_64__
should use __va(PAGE_SIZE) to duplicate the original lack of access to page
0). The second provides a single map for all "vmalloc" space (the code still
searches the vmlist to see what actually exists before accessing it).
Other blocks of kernel virtual space can be added as needed, and removed
again (with kclist_del()). E.g. discontiguous memory machines can add an
entry for each block of memory. Architectures that allocate memory for
modules someplace outside of vmalloc-land can add/remove entries on module
insert and remove.
The second piece of abstraction is the kc_vaddr_to_offset() and
kc_offset_to_vaddr() macros. These provide mappings from kernel virtual
addresses to offsets in the virtual file that /proc/kcore instantiates. I
hope they are sufficient to avoid negative offset problems that plagued the
old /proc/kcore. Default versions are provided for the old behaviour
(mapping simply adds/subtracts PAGE_OFFSET). For ia64 I just need to use a
different offset as all kernel virtual allocations are in the high 37.5% of
the 64-bit virtual address space. x86_64 was the other architecture with
this problem. I don't know enough (anything) about the kernel memory map on
x86_64, so I hope these provide a big enough hook. I'm hoping that you have
some low stuff, and some high stuff with a big hole in the middle ... in
which case the macros might look something like:
#define kc_vaddr_to_offset(v) ((v) < 0x1000000000000000 ? (v) : \
((v) - 0xF000000000000000))
But if you have interesting stuff scattered across *every* part of the
unsigned address range, then you won't be able to squeeze it all into a
signed file offset.
There are a couple of bug fixes too:
1) get_kcore_size() didn't account for the elf_prstatus, elf_prpsinfo
and task_struct that are placed in the PT_NOTE section that is
part of the header. We were saved on most configurations by the
round-up to PAGE_SIZE ... but it's possible that some architectures
or machines corrupted memory beyond the space allocated for the
header.
2) The size of the PT_NOTES section was incorrectly set to the size
of the last note, rather than the sum of the sizes of all the notes.

[PATCH] remove 16-bit pid assumption from ipc/sem.c
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
SysV sem operations that involve multiple semaphores can fail in the
middle, and then sempid (pid of the last successful operation) must be
restored. This happens with "sempid >>= 16" - broken due to the 32-bit pid
values. The attached patch fixes that by reordering the updates of the
semaphore fields.
Additionally, the patch fixes the corruption of the sempid value that occurs
if a wait-for-zero operation fails.
The patch is more than two years old, and was in -dj and -ak kernels.
<jim.houston@attbi.com>
[PATCH] preallocate signal queue resource - Posix timers
This adds a new interface to kernel/signal.c which allows signals to be
sent using preallocated sigqueue structures. It also modifies
kernel/posix-timers.c to use this interface.
The current timer code may fail to deliver a timer expiry signal if
there are no sigqueue structures available at the time of the expiry.
The Posix specification is clear that the signal queuing resource should
be allocated at timer_create time. This allows the error to be returned
to the application rather than silently losing the signal.
This patch does not change the sigqueue structure allocation policy. I
hope to revisit that in another patch.
Here is the definition for the new interface:
struct sigqueue *sigqueue_alloc(void)
Preallocate a sigqueue structure for use with the functions
described below.
void sigqueue_free(struct sigqueue *q)
Free a preallocated sigqueue structure. If the sigqueue
structure being freed is still queued, it will be removed
from the queue. I currently leave the signal pending.
It may be delivered without the siginfo structure.
int send_sigqueue(int sig, struct sigqueue *q, struct task_struct *p)
This function is equivalent to send_sig_info(). It queues
a signal to the specified thread using the supplied sigqueue
structure. The caller is expected to fill in the siginfo_t
which is part of the sigqueue structure.
int send_group_sigqueue(int sig, struct sigqueue *q, struct task_struct *p)
This function is equivalent to send_group_sig_info(). It queues
the signal to a process allowing the system to select which thread
will receive the signal in a multi-threaded process.
Again, the sigqueue structure is used to queue the signal.
Both send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() return 0 if the signal
is queued. They return 1 if the signal was not queued because the
process is ignoring the signal.
Both versions include code to increment the si_overrun count if the
sigqueue entry is for a Posix timer and they are called while the
sigqueue entry is still queued. Yes, I know that the current code
doesn't rearm the timer until the signal is delivered. Having this
extra bit of code doesn't do any harm, and I plan to use it.
These routines do not check if there already is a legacy (non-realtime)
signal pending. They always queue the signal. This requires that
collect_signal() always checks if there is another matching siginfo
before clearing the signal bit.

[ARM] Convert platform devices to use platform_device
Since struct platform_device now has the ability to pass resources,
defined by the platform to the device driver, we can now use this
to handle platform specific devices. One such instance is the
StrongARM SA1111 companion chip, which can appear in various address
spaces, and connected to different IRQ lines depending on how many
cups of coffee the hardware designer had, the direction of the wind
outside the designers office that day.
We also convert some of the other StrongARM peripheral on-chip
devices to use struct platform_device.
ARM also provides a platform_add_devices() function which can be
used by platform code to bulk-register a tabular set of platform
devices.

o net: create struct sock_common and use in struct sock & tcp_tw_bucket
With this the data dependency is reduced to just making sure that the first
member of both struct sock and struct tcp_tw_bucket are a struct sock_common.
Also makes it easier to grep for struct sock and struct tcp_tw_bucket usage in
the tree as all the members in those structs are prefixed, respectively, with
sk_ and tw_, like struct inode (i_), struct block_device (bd_), etc.
Checked namespace with make tags/ctags, just one colision with the macros for
the struct sock members, with a wanrouter struct, fixed that
s/sk_state/state_sk/g in the wanrouter struct.
Checked as well if the names of the members in both structs collided with some
macro, none found.

[PATCH] radio-cadet.c: remove unnecessary copy_to_user()
From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com>
As pointed out by the Stanford checker, 'v' is not tainted. The driver
shouldn't be using copy_to_user() in cadet_do_ioctl() at all:
cadet_do_ioctl() is being called by drivers/media/video/videodev.c:
video_usercopy(), which has already copied the buffer 'arg' (aka 'v')
into kernel space, and will copy it back after cadet_do_ioctl()
returns. So all the direct 'v' accesses are correct.

PageDirty BUG_ON in __remove_inode_page is, and always has been, unsafe for

!PageUptodate error in __set_page_dirty_buffers is unsafe then too.

[PATCH] Graceful failure in devfs_remove()
From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, via Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
It's already the second time that I encounter a kernel panic in the same
place. When devfs_remove() is called on a non-existent file entry, the
kernel panics and I have to reboot the system.
First time it was unregistering of pseudoterminals. This time it's
ide-floppy module that doesn't register devfs entries if the media is absent
but still tries to unregister them. The bug in ide-floppy will be reported
separately.
The point of this message is that the failure in devfs_remove() is possible,
especially with rarely used drivers. Secondly, is not fatal enough to
justify an immediate panic and reboot. Thirdly, devfs misses a chance to
tell the user what's going wrong.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Fix generic_file_write() again.
From: "Milton D. Miller II" <miltonm@realtime.net>
The code at present has a small problem: when a fault is encountered we will
run commit_write() to cover the amount of data which was successfully copied
in from userspace.
But filemap_copy_from_user() may have zeroed out some more of the page. So
pagecache now has zeroes and the buffer_head which represents those zeroes is
not dirtied. So a subsequent eviction and re-read of the file in the window
beyond the faulting offset will return the file's old contents and not the
zeroes.
So we change filemap_copy_from_user_iovec() to have the same behaviour as the
non-iovec filemap_copy_from_user(), and ensure that the commit_write() covers
the parts of the page which copy_from_user() zeroed out.

[PATCH] reiserfs option parser fix and ability to pass
From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
This patch adds support for remounting taking into account all extra options
you may want to pass it. (by Jeff Mahooney).
Also it reworks the parser to correctly deal with mutually exclusive options.
Now whatever option was specified last will take an effect.
- If you pass more than one jdev= option, the error will be reported and
mount/remount refused.
- If you pass incorrect alloc= suboptions, the mount/remount will fail.
(it did not before).
- nolargeio now actually looks at its argument. Argument is expected to be
numeric. If it is zero, default io size is set to 128k (default setting),
if it is non-zero, default io size is set to PAGE_SIZE.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] reiserfs support for blocksizes other than 4096 bytes
From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
This patch allows reiserfs to support blocksizes from 1024 bytes and up to
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE. Also it fixes two glitches that prevent reiserfs from
working correctly in case if PAGE_CACHE_SIZE is bigger than blocksize.
Originally this patch was created by Edward Shushkin and Vladimir Saveliev,
and then it was adapted to modern 2.4 and 2.5 by me.
Also people should be aware that 1024 bytes blocksize is not very good thing
as tree grows very fast. mkreiserfs is able to create filesystems with
different blocksizes for quite a while already (-b switch).

[PATCH] hugetlbfs: mount options and permissions
From: "Seth, Rohit" <rohit.seth@intel.com>
This patch enables system administrators to more flexibly assign read/write
permissions to files in hugetlbfs. Mount options are added which will
specify the uid, gid and mode of the filesystem's root directory.
This patch also enables super users to do chown/chgrp on files in hugetlbfs.
Also included in this patch is the support for uid, gid and mode command line
options for mount command for hugetlbfs.
The following mount options are added to hugetlbfs:
uid=value gid=value mode=value
The values may be specified in hex (0xNNN), decimal or octal (0NNN).

[PATCH] ext3: fix deadlock in journal_create()
From: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

Change journal_create() to run sync_blockdev() instead. Just to write out
the new journal's blocks.

[PATCH] allow thread_info to be allocated as part of task_struct
This re-organizes the thread info allocations a bit, so that
architectures like ia64 that want to allocate the thread_info structure
as part of the task structure allocation can do so.
The bulk of the patch is adding the "tsk" information to the thread
info allocator (ignored by all non-ia64 architectures), and switching
the order of the allocators to make this all possible.

[PATCH] Fix raid1 handling of writing to multiple devices.
When raid1 writes, it needs to schedule writes to some number

structure that holds it all together must be freed.
However we must make sure not to free it before all devices
have been considered for submitting writes to.
This happens in two places: when submitting a normal write request
and when submiting a write as part of resync.
This patch makes both these places:
the same
simpler
more correct.

[PATCH] get rid of CONFIG_ALL_PPC
This patch gets rid of CONFIG_ALL_PPC, which was a very confusing
option, since it didn't actually mean "ALL" at all, it was more a
"common set" thing.
The primary replacement for CONFIG_ALL_PPC is CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM.
I have also defined CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, CONFIG_PPC_PREP and CONFIG_PPC_CHRP
for selecting code which is only needed for one of the three platforms
that CONFIG_ALL_PPC represented. This is something that we (the PPC
community) have been talking about doing for some time. There is also a
CONFIG_PPC_OF which is for PPC machines with Open Firmware, which is
currently powermacs and CHRP machines.
At the moment, CONFIG_PPC_{PMAC,PREP,CHRP,OF} get unconditionally
defined if CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is selected, but in future this
split will let us have more control over what gets included, so that
for example we don't necessarily have to include powermac bits in a
kernel for a PReP machine.
I have gone through the uses of CONFIG_ALL_PPC one by one and decided
which of the new symbols best represents the set of machines that need
the code in question. In fact most of the uses of CONFIG_ALL_PPC in
the drivers have been replaced by CONFIG_PPC_PMAC. The other symbols
are mostly confined to the PPC architecture code.

[fs] Remove kobject support for filesystems
It was initially added for the immediate gain of being able to see what
filesystems were registered in the system. However, it was done without
proper analysis of the lifetime rules associated with them.

[kobject] Remove kobj_lock and use lockless refcounting.
The only thing preventing this from happening earlier was the circular sysfs
registration dependency - it would need to be initialized before it was

With kobjects gone from struct filesystem_type, the dependency no longer
exists and we don't have to special-case the possibility that a kobject will
be passed to kobject_get with a refcount == 0.
Note that a kobject with a count of 0 in that function is still a bug, but
one in the subsystem making the call. We should add a debugging hook to dump
the stack if it does happen.

[CPUFREQ] Fix ACPI P-State driver.
from Dmitry Torokhov.
I have the following problems with ACPI P-States driver:
- It crashes because it tries to switch CPU speed without registering cpufreq
driver first but acpi_processor_set_performance calls cpufreq_notify_transition.
- When testing for capable CPUs it skips all online ones so for my single CPU
notebook it can't activate at all.
- If a processor does not support throttling then it will say that "limit"
interface is not supported even after activating performance control.
The patch below should fix these issues. It also adds some info messages since
/proc/acpi/processor/*/performance interface is marked obsolete but i still
would like to see if P-states were recognized during boot.

[netdrvr] add atmel[_cs], new wireless driver
Attached is a driver for Atmel at76c50x WiFi cards. This code started
out as a GPL release from Atmel of pretty horrible quality and I've
extensively re-worked it with the aim of making it acceptable in the
kernel. Please could you take a look and either pass it into the patch
stream or let me know what's wrong with it?
The code has been tested on at least three different brand cards by
different people. Jean Tourrilhes took a look at an earlier version an
was positive. He's put incorporating this into 2.6 as a priority 1.
The patch works fine on 2.5.70.
The firmware issue has been addressed now. The only firmware in the
driver is a small stub which reads the MAC address from NVRAM on the
card. The source for that is included so there are no GPL issues. The
main firmware is loaded from userspace using Manuel Estrada Sainz's
sysfs firmware class. I know that the patch for that has been
accepted but it hasn't turned up anywhere I can see yet. The
driver compiles fine even without the firmware class. I've made a
package of the firmware images which is available from my website.
The remaining issues with the driver are migrating PCMCIA to the new
driver model and PCI support. I'm happy to produce followup patches as
the PCMCIA system gets evolved to the new driver model: the timing on
that is controlled by others. This set of chips includes a PCI version
and the driver should support that, but AFAIK there is no PCI hardware
available anywhere. If Atmel can provide me with some it will be
simple to add PCI support.
The driver uses the CRC32 library module and the firmware loader. I've
not put in dependencies on those, but when the lastest set of patches
go into Kconfig I'll set it up so that selecting the Atmel driver
selects CRC32 and FW_LOADER too.

[PATCH] kmalloc_percpu: interface change
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Several tweaks to the kmalloc_percpu()/kfree_percpu() interface, to
allow future implementations to be more flexible, and make easier to
use now we can see how it's actually being used.
1) No flags argument: GFP_ATOMIC doesn't make much sense,
2) Explicit alignment argument, so we don't have to give SMP_CACHE_BYTES
alignment always,
3) Zeros memory, since most callers want that and it's not entirely
trivial,
4) Convenient type-safe wrapper which takes a typename, and
5) Rename to alloc_percpu/__alloc_percpu, since usage no longer matches
kmalloc.

[PATCH] per-cpu support inside modules (minimal)
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
OK, this does the *minimum* required to support DEFINE_PER_CPU inside

this out.
Basically, overallocates the amount of per-cpu data at boot to at least
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM if CONFIG_MODULES=y (arch-specific by default 32k: I have
only 7744 bytes of percpu data in my kernel here, so makes sense), and a
special allocator in module.c dishes it out.

[PATCH] IRQs: handle bad return values from handlers
Attempt to do something intelligent with IRQ handlers which don't return
IRQ_HANDLED.
- If they return neither IRQ_HANDLED nor IRQ_NONE, complain.
- If they return IRQ_NONE more than 99900 times in 100000 interrupts, complain
and disable the IRQ.
I did have it at 750-in-1000, but someone had an otherwise-functioning
system which triggered it.
The 99.9% ratio is designed to address the problem wherein the babbling
device shares an IRQ with a good device. We don't want the good device's
trickle of IRQ_HANDLED callouts to defeat the lockup detector. (fat chance
os this working right).
- Add a kernel boot parameter `noirqdebug' to turn the whole thing off.

[PATCH] force_successful_syscall_return()
From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>, Christoph Hellwig
I believe this is the last outstanding piece that prevents ia64 from being
fully in sync with Linus' tree (yes, there are some minor ACPI changes
outstanding and a toolchain bug that's left to fix, but other than that, I
think we're clean).
Many architectures (alpha, ia64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, and sparc64 at least)
use a syscall convention which provides for a return value and a separate
error flag. On those architectures, it can be beneficial if the kernel
provides a mechanism to signal that a syscall call has completed
successfully, even when the returned value is potentially a (small)
negative number. The patch below provides a hook for such a mechanism via
a macro called force_successful_syscall_return(). On x86, this would be
simply a no-op (because on x86, user-level has to be hacked to handle such
cases). On Alpha, it would be something along the lines of:
#define force_successful_syscall_return() ptregs->r0 = 0
where "ptregs" is a pointer to the user's ptregs structure of the current
task. On ia64, we have been using this for a long time:
static inline void force_successful_syscall_return (void) {
ia64_task_regs(current)->r8 = 0;
}
The other architectures (ppc, ppc64, sparc, and sparc64) currently have no
mechanism to force a syscall return to be successful. But since the
syscall convention already provide for a separate error flag, the arch
maintainers could change this if they wanted to.
There are only 3 places in the platform-independent portion of the kernel
that need this macro:
- memory_lseek() in drivers/char/mem.c
- fs/fcntl.c for F_GETOWN
- lseek for /proc/mem in fs/proc/array.c
Ideally, there are a couple of other places that could benefit from this
macro:
- sys_getpriority()
- sys_shmat()
- sys_brk()
- do_mmap2()
- do_mremap()
but these are not so critical, because the can be worked around in
platform-specific code (e.g., see arch/ia64/kernel/sys_ia64.c).
Note that for the above 3 cases, handling them in user level is rather
suboptimal:
- it would affect all lseek() syscalls, even though only /proc/mem and
/dev/mem need the special treatment (at least until there are
filesystems that can handle files >= 2^63 bytes)
- all fcntl() calls would be affected, even though only F_GETOWN needs
the special treatment
so I think handling these in the kernel for the platforms that can makes
tons of sense.
The only limitation of force_successful_syscall_return() is that it doesn't
help with system calls performed by the kernel. But the kernel does that
so rarely and for such a limited set of syscalls that this is not a real
problem.

[PATCH] fix wobbly /proc/stat:btime
From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>
Since jiffies didn't necessarily start incrementing at a second boundary,
jiffies/HZ doesn't increment at the same moment as xtime.tv_sec. This
causes one second wobbles in the calculation of btime (xtime.tv_sec -
jiffies/HZ).
This fix increases the precision of the calculation so the usec component
of xtime is used as well. Additionally it fixes some of the non-atomic
reading of time values.

[PATCH] Console blanking fix
From: Samuel Thibault <Samuel.Thibault@ens-lyon.fr>
Some fixes for console blanking: on some laptops, doing VESA blanking after
the bios did an apm blanking because of a screen closure thrashes the
recovery (the video board doesn't seem to have synchronisation registers
correctly initialized, since the LCD panel progressively turns white, maybe
damaging it ?).
I hence moved the schedule for vesa powerdown after the apm blank hook
call, so that if it succeeds, it won't be called. I also moved the apm
unblank & palette restoration after the vesa unblank, to have a more lifo
scheme (also required, or the screen remains black).
Btw, why del_timer_sync was called twice in timer_do_blank_screen when
vesa_off_interval==0 ?
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Console privacy for braille users
From: Samuel Thibault <Samuel.Thibault@ens-lyon.fr>
Still working on kernel facilities for braille devices, the need for being
able to force blanking and unblanking raised: even when a key is pressed, the
screen must remain blank, for privacy of the blind user who is typing on the
keyboard and reading on its braille terminal.
I merely added an ignore_poke variable which is set, and the screen blanked.
Then, poke_blanked_console returns immediatly. Upon real unblank (because of
an Oops or an explicit tioclinux), ignore_poke is reset to get back to normal
operation mode.
I had to remove the (unnecessary ?) call to unblank_screen from set_selection
to prevent mouse selection unblanking the screen.
I also added a way for processes to know whether the screen is blanked (the
blind user might hence know whether people can read the screen).

[PATCH] Fix tty devfs mess
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Currently the tty code abuses tty_driver.name as the prefix for the devfs
names of the ttys. This is a very bad idea because it means the tty name
changes depending on whether devfs is enabled or not, leading to different
names in /proc/tty/ depending on whether we have devfs or not (and not
whether it actually is mounted!) and a huge amount of ifdefs.
The patch below adds a .devfs_name member instead, similar to the block
device changes a few weeks ago.

[PATCH] Don't let processes be scheduled on CPU-less nodes (1/3)
From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
sched_best_cpu schedules processes on nodes based on node_nr_running. For
CPU-less nodes, this is always 0, and thus sched_best_cpu tends to migrate
tasks to these nodes, which eventually get remigrated elsewhere.
This patch adds include/linux/topology.h, and modifies all includes of
asm/topology.h to linux/topology.h. A subsequent patch in this series adds
helper functions to linux/topology.h to ensure processes are only migrated
to nodes with CPUs.

[PATCH] Don't let processes be scheduled on CPU-less nodes (2/3)

[PATCH] Don't let processes be scheduled on CPU-less nodes (3/3)
From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
This patch implements a generic version of the nr_cpus_node(node) macro
implemented for ppc64 by the previous patch.
The generic version simply computes an hweight of the bitmask returned by
node_to_cpumask(node) topology macro.
This patch also adds a generic_hweight64() function and an hweight_long()
function which are used as helpers for the generic nr_cpus_node() macro.
This patch also adds a for_each_node_with_cpus() macro, which is used in
sched_best_cpu() in kernel/sched.c to fix the original problem of
scheduling processes on CPU-less nodes. This macro should also be used in
the future to avoid similar problems.

[PATCH] DAC960 fix for fibre channel transfer rate
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
The change makes the transfer rate numbers come out right for the fibre
channel version of this controller.
For 1G FC, the NegotiatedSynchronousMegaTransfers is 1000, and the
NegotiatedDataWidthBIts is 1. The old code assumed NegotiatedDataWidthBits
was always either 8 or 16. The new code is simpler, and does the
calculation correctly for all cases.

[PATCH] /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
This resurrects the old /proc/sys/vm/free_pages functionality: the ability to
tell page reclaim how much free memory to maintain.
This may be needed for specialised networking applications, and it provides
an interesting way to stress the kernel: set it very low so atomic
allocations can easily fail.
Also, a 16G ppc64 box currently cruises along at 1M free memory, which is
surely too little to supporthigh-speed networking. We have not changed that
setting here, but it is now possible to do so.
The patch also reduces the amount of free memory which the VM will maintain
in ZONE_HIGHMEM, as it is almost always wasted memory.

This changeset:
1. Implements hlist_add_after
2. uses prefetch in hlist_for_each, using a trick that ends up being
equivalent to having the prefetch instruction in the first block
of the hlist_for_each for block, the compiler optimizes the second
"test" away, as its result is constant
3. implements hlist_for_each_entry and hlist_for_each_entry safe,
using a struct hlist_node as iterator to avoid the extra branches a
similar implementation to list_for_each_entry would have if used
a typed iterator, but while avoiding having to have the explicit
hlist_entry as in hlist_for_each.
4. Converts the hlist_for_each users that had explicit prefetches, i.e.
removed the explicit prefetch

This patch works around a gcc 3.3 bug on AMD64. On AMD64 the

ppc64: Fix for multiple zone 0 regions on many ppc64 NUMA boxes

[PATCH] Move BUG/BUG_ON/WARN_ON to asm headers
This patch moves the definitions of BUG, BUG_ON and WARN_ON from
<linux/kernel.h> to <asm/bug.h> (which <linux/kernel.h> includes), and
supplies a new implementation for PPC which uses a conditional trap
instruction for BUG_ON and WARN_ON, thus avoiding a conditional
branch. This patch trims over 50kB from the size of the kernel that I
use on powermacs.
With this patch, on PPC we have a __bug_table section in the vmlinux
binary, and also in modules if they use BUG, BUG_ON or WARN_ON. The
__bug_table section has one entry for each BUG/BUG_ON/WARN_ON, giving
the address of the trap instruction and the corresponding line number,
filename and function name. This information is used in the exception
handler for the exception that the trap instruction produces. The
arch-specific module code handles the __bug_table section so that
BUG/BUG_ON/WARN_ON work correctly in modules.
Several architecture maintainers have acked this change. It should be
completely benign for all of the other architectures (though they may
decide to do something similar if they have a conditional trap
instruction available).

[PATCH] fix apic handling for NUMA-Q
From: "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>
All this fancy stuff in cpu_mask_to_apicid doesn't work for NUMA-Q, because
it's based on logical apicids, and we use physical. Drop back to just
always returning 0xF instead, which is the broadcast physical ID, and has
been working fine since the dawn of time.

[PATCH] cleanup conditionals in summit subarch
From: "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>
The "magic" switching in subarch was ugly when I put it there, and nobody
liked it then (including me). It hasn't got any prettier since. Andi's
generic arch stuff is a cleaner solution for now, so we can remove the old
hacky stuff, and significantly simplify the code. All this does is replace
"(x86_summit ? A : B)" with "A" everywhere.

[PATCH] provide bus to node mapping for Summit

[PATCH] add bootmem failure warning
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
__alloc_bootmem_core() has a couple of BUG_ON()'s. Since the handlers
aren't set up this early, if you hit it, you just get along stream of
"Unknown Interrupt" messages. It would be very nice to have a little
bit more information when something has decided to BUG() out this
early.

[PATCH] eventpoll: fix possible use-after-free
From: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org>
After the ep_remove() the "epi" is given back to the cache, so "epi->ep"
might become invalid. It was not cought by my tests because the element
wasn't immediately reused (and because I was using a single epoll fd, so
the "ep" item remained the same).

[PATCH] zlib merge: avoid 8-bit window errors
More merging from zlib-1.1.4
force windowBits > 8 to avoid a bug in the encoder for a window size
of 256 bytes. (A complete fix will be available in 1.1.5).
James Carlson:
The problem is that s->strstart gets set to a very large
positive integer when wsize (local copy of s->w_size) is
subtracted in deflate.c:fill_window(). This happens because
MAX_DIST(s) resolves as a negative number when the window size
is 8 -- MAX_DIST(s) is defined as s->w_size-MIN_LOOKAHEAD in
deflate.h. MIN_LOOKAHEAD is MAX_MATCH+MIN_MATCH+1, and that
is 258+3+1 or 262. Since a window size of 8 gives s->w_size
256, MAX_DIST(s) is 256-262 or -6.
This results in read_buf() writing over memory outside of
s->window, and a crash.

so should expect an initial resume call. Simple targets do not need

[driver model] Rewrite system device API
System devices are special, and after two years of listening to Linus
preach this, it finally sunk in enough to do something about. We don't
need to regard them as real devices that reside on a peripheral bus and
can be dynamically bound to drivers. If we discover, e.g. a CPU, we know
by default that we have a driver for it, and we know damn well that we
have a CPU. We still need to keep track of all the devices, and all the
devices of a particular type. The kobject infrastructure allows us to do
this, without the overhead of the regular model.
A new subsystem is defined that registers as a child object of
devices_subsys, giving us:
/sys/devices/system/
struct sysdev_class {
struct list_head drivers;
/* Default operations for these types of devices */
int (*shutdown)(struct sys_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct sys_device *, u32 state);
int (*resume)(struct sys_device *);
struct kset kset;
};
Defines a type of system device. These are registered on startup, by e.g.
drivers/base/cpu.c. The methods are default operations for devices of that
type that may or may not be used. For things like the i8259 controller,
these will be filled in, since it is registered by the same component that
the device controls reside in.
For things like CPUs, generic code will register the class, but other
architecture-specific or otherwise configurable drivers may register
auxillary drivers, that look like:
struct sysdev_driver {
struct list_head entry;
int (*add)(struct sys_device *);
int (*remove)(struct sys_device *);
int (*shutdown)(struct sys_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct sys_device *, u32 state);
int (*resume)(struct sys_device *);
};
Each auxillary driver gets called during each operation on a device of a
particular class.
Auxillary drivers may register with a NULL class parameter, in which case
they will be added to a list of 'global drivers' that get called for each
device of each class.
Besides providing a decent of cleanup for system device drivers, this also
allows:
- Special handling of system devices during power transitions.
We no longer have to worry about shutting down the PIC before we shut
down any devices. We can shut down the system devices after we've shut
down every other device.
Ditto for suspend/resume cycles. Almost (if not) all PM actions for
system devices happen with interrupts off, and require only one call,
which makes that easier. But, we can also make sure we take care of
these last during suspend and first during resume.
- Easy expression of configurable device-specific interfaces.
Namely cpufreq and mtrr. We don't have to worry about mispresentation in
the driver model (like recent MTRR patches) or using a cumbersome
interface ({device,class}_interface) that don't receive all the
necessary calls.
- Consolidation of userspace representation.
No longer do we have /sys/devices/sys, /sys/bus/sys, and /sys/class/cpu,
etc. We have only /sys/devices/system:
# tree /sys/devices/system/
/sys/devices/system/
|-- cpu
| `-- cpu0
|-- i8259
| `-- i82590
|-- lapic
| `-- lapic0
|-- rtc
| `-- rtc0
`-- timer
`-- timer0
Each directory in 'system' is the class, and each directory under that is
the instance of each device in that class.

[PATCH] PCI: domain support for sysfs
<fcusack@fcusack.com>
[PATCH] nfs_unlink() problem fix
When foo is unlinked, nfs_unlink() does a sillyrename, this puts the
dentry on nfs_delete_queue, and (in the VFS) unhashes it from the
dcache. This causes problems, since any later access to the
silly-renamed new .nfs file will create a NEW dentry that aliases the
one we originally created, but unhashed.
This causes various confusion, especially if we want to try to delete it
again later.
So fix this by not unhash the dentry after silly-renaming. In 2.2, each
fs was responsible for doing a d_delete(), in 2.4 and later it happens
in the VFS layer and I think it was just an oversight that the 2.4 VFS
doesn't consider sillyrename (considering the code and comments that are
cruft).
Also fixed up some comments while debugging this.

[driver model] Add save() and restore() methods for system device drivers.
It turns out that at least some system device drivers need to allocate
memory and/or sleep for one reason or another when either saving or
restoring state.
Instead of adding a 'level' paramter to the suspend() and resume() methods,
which I despise and think is a horrible programming interface, two new
methods have been added to struct sysdev_driver:
int (*save)(struct sys_device *, u32 state);
int (*restore)(struct sys_device *);
that are called explicitly before and after suspend() and resume()
respectively, with interrupts enabled. This gives the drivers the
flexibility to allocate memory and sleep, if necessary.

[PCMCIA] True driver module locking
If we use try_module_get(driver->owner) at the right place (and

can't ever return true. So get rid of it, and add the proper module
locking calls.

[PATCH] USB: incorrect ethtool -i driver name
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB: usb-storage: handle babble
This patch introduces some handling for babble conditions.
Basically, once a babble is detected, we return sense data saying the
command was invalid. We also go on to transfer the CSW (for BBB transport)
so we stay in phase with the device.
This isn't guaranteed to work with every device that babbles, but it can't
hurt compared to the current behavior. Properly operating devices are
unaffected by this patch.

[PATCH] Fix module load failure case
Milton Miller noticed a free-after-use problem in the cleanup path of a
failed module load.
The problem is that mod is moved to point from the sucked-in file
(always freed last) to the module core, after which time the
"free(mod->core), reference mod->percpu" sequence is bogus, eg. when
the module_init function fails.
This is fixed by keeping the pointer in a local variable, which solves
the problem. We no longer need to reference the free'd data structure.

[PATCH] Remove DRM ioctls for common compat ioctl code
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
This makes the 2.5 kernel with common ioctl32 code compile with DRM enabled
again. The DRM code in the kernel is obsolete anyways and has been long
removed. It definitely does not belong in the common ioctl emulation
layer.
Egbert Eich is working on proper 32bit DRM emulation, but it will be likely
directly integrated in the DRI/DRM sources.

[PATCH] fix possible busywait in rtc_read()

[PATCH] fix discontig with 0-sized nodes
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
In order to turn an 8-way x440 into a 4-way for testing, we often use
mem=(1/2 of total) and maxcpus=4. maxcpus has always worked, but mem=
hasn't. The mem= parameter actually changes the kernel's e820 structure,
which manifests itself as max_pfn. node_end_pfn[] obeys this because of
find_max_pfn_node(), but node_start_pfn[] wasn't modified.
If you have a mem= line that causes memory to stop before the beginning of
a node, you get a condition where start > end (because start was never
modified). There is a bug check for this, but it was placed just _before_
the error was made :)
Also, the bootmem alloc functions die if you request something of zero size
from them. This patch avoids that too. This shouldn't have much of an
effect on non-NUMA systems.

[PATCH] fix TARGET_CPUS inconsistency
From: "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>
Patch from Martin Bligh, based on observations by Andrew Theurer and Bill
Irwin.
TARGET_CPUS is used as a cpu mask by some things, and an apic mask for
others. For SMP, that doesn't matter (they're the same), but for Summit it
does. This patch changes TARGET_CPUS to consistently be a cpu mask
everywhere. Should be a no-op for normal platforms.
Invalid arguments to cpu_mask_to_apicid for clustered apic mode
architectures will now return the broadcast apicid, in order to ensure
someone still gets the interrupt (was the default init value, and is
safest).

[PATCH] optimize fixed-sized kmalloc calls
From: Manfred Spraul and Brian Gerst
The patch performs the kmalloc cache lookup for constant kmalloc calls at
compile time. The idea is that the loop in kmalloc takes a significant
amount of time, and for kmalloc(4096,GFP_KERNEL), that lookup can happen
entirely at compile time.
A problem has been seen with gcc-3.2.2-5 from RedHat. This code:
if(__builtin_constant_t(size)) {
if(size < 32) return kmem_cache_alloc(...);
if(size < 64) return kmem_cache_alloc(...);
if(size < 96) return kmem_cache_alloc(...);
if(size < 128) return kmem_cache_alloc(...);
...
}
doesn't work, because gcc only optimizes the first two or three comparisons,
and then suddenly generates code.
But we did it that way anyway. Apparently it's fixed in later compilers.

[PATCH] fix hangs with nfs to localhost
An NFS mount of localhost hangs the system under heavy writeout loads.
This is because knfsd gets stuck in balance_dirty_pages(). It is not allowed
to exit from there until the amount of dirty+writeback+unstable memory
subsides. But it will never subside because knfsd itself is responsible for
cleaning the memory.
This is just like the drivers/block/loop.c hang, only more complex. We
cannot simply disable knfsd's throttling because it would then swamp the
machine under real loads when the clients are remote.
So we introduce the concept of a "less throttled" process. These processes
are allowed to exceed the preset dirty memory limits by a little. This
allows knfsd to make progrws in writing things out while the local NFS
clients are throttled. It also ensures that knfsd will not swamp the machine
when working on behalf of remote clients.
Note that even though knfsd is allowed to exceed the default system-wide
dirty memory threshold, this does _not_ cause other memory-dirtying tasks to
get starved out. This is because they are allowed to exit
balance_dirty_pages() after having written their quota of pages, regardless
of the current dirty memory state.

[PATCH] devfs_mk_dir() fix
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
There may be multiple gendisks with the same .devfs_name in scsi and we

[PATCH] dirty bit clearing on s390.
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
The S390 hardware has the interesting characteristic that the storage key
hardware which records a page's pte-dirtiness is also marked dirty when a
page is modified by the disk hardware.
Consequently, reading data from disk makes the page appear to be dirty and
things which were read from disk need to be written back.
Up to now s390 uses a special bit in the pte that is set in mk_pte for the
first user of a page and makes set_pte to clear the storage key. The problem
is that this is a race condition if two processes want to access the same
page simultaneously. Then the page count is already > 1 in mk_pte and nobody
will clear the storage key. It doesn't lead to any data loss because what
happens is that a clean page is considered dirty and is written back to the
disk. The worst scenario is a read only disk where this results in i/o
errors (but no data loss).
Martin's fix to this is to clear the page's dirty flag in SetPageUptodate().
Which seems a bit kludgey, but I cannot think of a case in which this in
incorrect, inadequate or inappropriate. So...

[PATCH] drivers/char/mem.c cleanup
From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>
Here is a simplified version of the earlier /dev/mem cleanup. This version
of the patch no longer pretends to support uncached accesses via
read()/write(). Instead, all it does is:
- consolidate much of the ugly code in uncached_access()
- move pgprot_noncached() macro to pgtable.h for i386, m68k, ppc, ppc64,
and x86_64
- fix the ia64 implementation to use efi_mem_attributes() to determine
the cacheability of an address
Eventually, we may want to replace the #ifdef CONFIG_IA64 with #ifdef
CONFIG_EFI, but we can do this "on demand", if and when EFI-based x86
machines become more common.

[PCMCIA] split_init
Split up the socket initialization in cs.c into two pieces:
pcmcia_register_socket / pcmcia_unregister_socket

pcmcia_add_socket / pcmcia_remove_socket
will use an interface to the device class "pcmcia_socket_class" in
future, and mainly take care of what initialization cs.c needs to work
properly.
This patch is almost completely limited to shuffling code around

[ARM PATCH] 1545/1: correct compiler flags for ARMv5TE/XScale
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The -march=armv5te issue looks to be fixed in gcc-3.3.
Since gcc-3.3 is the only gcc version >= 3 that seems to correctly
compile kernels out of the box I think it would be reasonable to
apply this patch and no bother with older gcc versions.
Yet gcc-3.3 emits V5TE instructions only when -mcpu=xscale is used,
but that seems to have been fixed in current CVS so next gcc release
will use all available instructions properly with -march=armv5te.

A while back, the read_inode method was removed in favor of implementing

Therefore, we do need the read_inode method, so switch back to defining

Previously, we would insert kobjects into their kset's lists at different

However, we don't need strict ordering. Assuming that a subordinate device
is always added after its parent (true), then by adding them to the end of
the list, then subordinate objects will always be farther down the list than
their parent objects. We don't need to do anything special..

[driver model] Make sure system device drivers are added if registered late.
From Jeremy Fitzhardinge:
With the current system device changes (I picked them up in 2.5.70-mm8),
the system device class assumes that all system device drivers are
registered before any system devices are registered.
Unfortunately, this is often not the case. CPU devices are registered
very early, but cpufreq registers drivers for them; since cpufreq
drivers can be loaded as modules, they clearly can't be registered
before the device is.
This patch keeps a list of all registered devices hanging off the system
device class. When a new driver is registered, it calls the driver's
add() function with all existing devices.
Conversely, when a driver is unregistered, it calls the driver's
remove() function for all existing devices so the driver can clean up.
Note: the list in the class's embedded kset is used, rather than creating
a new field.

Fix udp_data_ready() to use the correct skbuff interface for extracting

<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
gss_marshal and gss_validate depend on gss_cred_get_ctx never returning NULL;
but gss_refresh depends on gss_cred_get_ctx returning NULL whenever the cred is
not up to date. So, I replaced the single gss_cred_get_ctx by a
gss_cred_get_ctx and a gss_cred_get_uptodate_ctx.
<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
add handling of the new CTXPROBLEM and CREDPROBLEM RPCSEC_GSS errors.
<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
Add a "protocol: udp/tcp" line so that gssd can use the same protocol for
null calls that was specified in the mount options.
<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
I believe we need to set a timeout before doing the sleep in gss-upcall.
<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
allow gssd to communicate failure to initialize contexts back to the kernel, so
the kernel can return -EACCES when a user lacks credentials, instead of just
hanging until they kinit.
<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
This makes several changes to the gss upcalls
1. Currently rpc_queue_upcall returns -EPIPE if we make an upcall on a pipe
that userland hasn't opened yet, and we timeout and retry later. This
can lead to an unnecessary delay on mount, because rpc.gssd is racing
to open the newly created pipe while the nfs code is making the first
upcall. If rpc.gssd loses, then we end up with a delay equal to the
length of the timeout. So instead we allow rpc_queue_upcall to queue
upcalls on pipes that aren't opened yet. To deal with the case of
other upcall-users (e.g., the name<->uid mapping upcall code) who
do want to know if the pipe isn't open (in the name<->uid case you can
choose just to map everyone to nobody if the user doesn't want to run
idmapd), we add a flag parameter to rpc_mkpipe that allows us to choose
the kind of behavior we want at the time we create the pipe.
2. Currently gss_msg's are destroyed the moment they have been completely
read (by the call to destroy_msg in rpc_pipe_read). This means an
rpc_wake_up is done then, and can't be done later (because the gss_msg is
gone, along with gss_msg->waitq). It will typically be some time yet
before the downcall comes, so the woken-up processes will have to wait and
retry later; as above this leads to unnecessary delays. Also, since the
gss_msg is deleted from the list of gss_msgs's, we forget that an upcall
to get creds for the user in question is still pending, so multiple
unnecessary upcalls will be made. This patch changes gss_pipe_upcall to
never update msg->copied so that rpc_pipe_read never destroys the message.
Instead, we wait till a downcall arrives to remove the upcall, using the
new function __rpc_purge_one_upcall, which searches the list of pending
rpc_pipe_msg's on the inode as well as checking the current upcall, to
deal with the case where rpc.gssd might preemptively create a context for
a user that there's already a pending upcall for. Note also that this
means that repeated reads by rpc.gssd will return the same data until
rpc.gssd does a downcall. This also gives us a better chance of
recovering from rpc.gssd crashes.
<bfields@citi.umich.edu>
Trivial; I kept forgetting what each of the xdr_netobj's passed to the gss-api
routine meant, so I thought I'd fool with the argument names in an effort to
make them more helpful.

[PATCH] OProfile: Export task->tgid in the buffer
Export the task->tgid to userspace as well. This is needed
for forthcoming thread profiling stuff and should have been

[PATCH] irq_cpustat cleanup
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
currently only x86_64 and ia64 don't use the generic irq_cpustat code
and both have to workaround it's brokenness for the non-default case.
x86_64 defines an empty irq_cpustat_t even if it doesn't need one and
ia64 adds CONFIG_IA64 ifdefs around all users. What about this patch
instead to make __ARCH_IRQ_STAT useable?

[PATCH] loop: file use highmem
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
When loop restricts underlying file's allocation mask to avoid deadlock, it
unintentionally masks out its highmem capability, making failures at the
underlying level much more likely.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: make bio_copy private to loop
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
bio_copy is used only by the loop driver, which already has to walk the bio
segments itself: so it makes sense to change it from bio.c export to loop.c
static, as prelude to working upon it there.
bio_copy itself is unchanged by this patch, with one exception. On oom
failure it must use bio_put, instead of mempool_free to static bio_pool:
which it should have been doing all along - it was leaking the veclist.
(Grudgingly acked by Jens)
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: loop bio renaming
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Now it's in loop not bio, better rename bio_copy to loop_copy_bio: loop
prefers names that way; and bio_transfer better named loop_transfer_bio.
Rename bio,b to rbh,bio to follow call from loop_get_buffer more easily.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: copy bio not data
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Remove copy flag and code from loop_copy_bio: wasn't used when reading, and
waste of time when writing - the loop transfer function does that. And
don't initialize bio fields immediately reinitialized by caller.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: remove an IV
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Remove unused IV from loop_make_request (loop_transfer_bio does that).

[PATCH] loop: remove LO_FLAGS_BH_REMAP
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Jonah Sherman <jsherman@stuy.edu> pointed out back in February how
LO_FLAGS_BH_REMAP is never actually set, since loop_init_xfer only calls
the init for non-0 encryption type. Fix that or scrap it? Let's scrap it
for now, that path (hacking values in bio instead of copying data) seems
never to have been tested, and adds to the number of paths through loop:
leave that optimization to some other occasion.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: remove blk_queue_bounce
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
What purpose does loop_make_request's blk_queue_bounce serve? None, it's
just a relic from before the kmaps were added to loop's transfers, and ties
up mempooled resources - in the file-backed case, with no guarantee they'll
soon be freed. And what purpose does loop_set_fd's blk_queue_bounce_limit
serve? None, blk_queue_make_request did that.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: copy_bio use highmem
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
loop_copy_bio uses one gfp_mask for bio_alloc and alloc_page calls. The
bio_alloc obviously can't use highmem, but the alloc_page can. Yes, the
underlying device might be unable to use highmem, and have to use one of
its bounce buffers, with an extra copy: so be it.
(Originally I did propagate the underlying device's bounce needs down to
the loop device, to avoid that possible extra copy; but let's keep this
simple, the low end doesn't have highmem and the high end can I/O it.)
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] loop: don't lose PF_MEMDIE
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
loop_get_buffer loses PF_MEMDIE if it's added while in loop_copy_bio: not a
high probability since it's not waiting there, but could happen, and sets a
bad example (compare with add_to_swap fixed a while back).
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] tmpfs: shmem_file_write EFAULT

<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] tmpfs: swapoff-truncate race
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Dissatisfied with earlier fix to race where swapoff sneaks page into tmpfs
page cache after truncate_inode_pages cleaned it: calling it a second time
can be too heavy, instead fix shmem_unuse_inode to check i_size.
(Actually, one part of this fix is in the previous patch: shmem_file_write
now has a hold on the page when it raises i_size.)
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] tmpfs: misc fixes
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Remove shmem_nrpages, no use is made of it (even 2.4-ac, though it counts
it, does nothing with it): reintroduce if it becomes useful. Replace GPL
oneliner by the block from 2.4-ac, extend Copyright to 2003, remove two
white spaces.

[PATCH] tioclinux() numbers in <linux/tiocl.h>

Tioclinux() uses "magic numbers" that applications should know to use it.
Here is a patch which adds an include/linux/tiocl.h which holds them and
can be used by applications to properly call iotcl(TIOCLINUX). It might
stand for documentation as well, replacing the not up-to-date man
ioctl_list.
A structure for the selection argument is also defined.

<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] fix writeback for dirty ramdisk blockdev inodes
Once the blockdev inode for /dev/ram0 is dirtied we have a memory-backed
inode on the blockdev superblock's s_dirty list.
sync_sb_inodes() sees the memory-backed inode on the superblock and assumes
that all the other inodes on the superblock are also memory-backed. This is
not true for the blockdev superblock! We forget to write out dirty pages
against the following blockdevs.
Fix this by just leaving the inode dirty and moving on to inspect the other
blockdev inodes on sb->s_io.
(This is a little inefficient: an alternative is to leave dirtied
memory-backed inodes on inode_in_use, so nobody ever even considers them for
writeout. But that introduces an inconsistency and is a bit kludgey).

[PATCH] lsm: Early init for security modules (1/4)
As discussed before, this allows for early initialization of security
modules when compiled statically into the kernel. The standard

<chris@wirex.com>
[PATCH] lsm: Remove task_kmod_set_label hook (2/4)
The task_kmod_set_label hook is no longer necessary.
kmod is now handled by keventd which already does reparent_to_init, so
there is no need to worry about getting the security labels right for
code running off the keventd workqueue.
<chris@wirex.com>
[PATCH] lsm: Remove inode_permission_lite hook (3/4)
<chris@wirex.com>
[PATCH] lsm: setfsuid/setgsuid bug fix (4/4)
Patch from Jakub Jelínek <jakub@redhat.com>
Make sure setfsuid/setfsgid return values are right. Before
include/linux/security.h was added, setfsuid/setfsgid always returned
old_fsuid, no matter if the fsuid was actually changed or not.
With the default security ops it seems to do the same, because both
security_task_setuid and security_task_post_setuid return 0, but these
are hooks which seem to return 0 on success, -errno on failure, so if
some non-default security hook is installed and ever returns -errno in
setfsuid/setfsgid, -errno will be returned from the syscall instead of
the expected old_fsuid. This makes it hard to distinguish uids
0xfffff001 .. 0xffffffff from errors of security hooks.

[PATCH] x86-64 merge
This brings the x86-64 port uptodate. Only architecture specific
changes.
The biggest change is the forward port of the 2.4 timing code with full
HPET support. This should improve timing stability on some Opteron
boxes considerably.
Also add the optimized low level functions from 2.4 (clear_page,
copy_page, memcpy, csum_copy etc.) They were supposed to be merged
earlier, but got dropped due to some SNAFU. Especially the clear_page
changes should improve performance considerably, because the old version
used write combining writes which put all the new process data out of
cache. New version serves cache hot.
Also some other bugfixes.
Full changelog:
- Re-add some lost patches: improved copy_page, clear_page, memset, memcpy,
csum_copy from 2.4.
- New timing code from 2.4 (Bryan O'Sullivan, John Stultz, Vojtech Pavlik)
- Use correct MSR to write northbridge MCE configuration
- Fix and reenable simics check in APIC timer calibration
- Check if BIOS enabled APIC and don't use APIC mode if not.
- Remove some obsolete code in APIC handling.
- Fix potential races in the IOMMU code.
- Don't print backtrace twice on oops.
- Fix compilation of swsuspend (Pavel Machek)
- Add oops locking to kernel page faults.
- Use prefetcht0 for C level kernel prefetches.

[PATCH] Register scsi devices after naming them
scsi_add_lun doesn't set sdp->devfs_name before calling

Just an easy change, moving the sdp->devfs_name creation before calling
scsi_register_device().

just special case this so the association is aborted as expected.

[PATCH] sched.c neatening and fixes.
1) Fix the comments for the migration_thread. A while back Ingo
agreed they were exactly wrong, IIRC. 8).
2) Changed spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lock_irq, since it's in a
kernel thread.
3) Don't repeat if the task has moved off the original CPU, just finish.
This is because we are simply trying to push the task off this CPU:
if it's already moved, great. Currently we might theoretically move
a task which is actually running on another CPU, which is v. bad.
4) Replace the __ffs(p->cpus_allowed) with any_online_cpu(), since
that's what it's for, and __ffs() can give the wrong answer, eg. if
there's no CPU 0.
5) Move the core functionality of migrate_task into a separate function,
move_task_away, which I want for the hotplug CPU patch.
