an instant BUG trigger in the block layer
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:156304a
<nathans@sgi.com>

SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:155936a
<maxk@qualcomm.com>
[Bluetooth] L2CAP qualification spec mandates sending additional config request
if we receive config response with unacceptable parameters error code.
So we now send dummy request to keep tester happy.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Fix sysfs state reporting.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Make sure console level is high when suspending.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Fix up sysfs state handling.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Move i386-specific swsusp code to arch/i386/power/
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] swsusp Cleanups
- do_magic()
- Rename to swsusp_arch_suspend().
- Move declaration to swsusp.c
- arch_prepare_suspend()
- Return an int
- Fix x86 version to return -EFAULT if cpu does not have pse, instead of
calling panic().
- Call from swsusp_save().
- do_magic_suspend_1()
- Move body to pm_suspend_disk()
- Remove.
- do_magic_suspend_2()
- Rename to swsusp_suspend()
- Move IRQ fiddling to suspend_save_image(), since that's the only call
that needs it.
- Return an int.
- do_magic_resume_1()
- Move body to pm_resume().
- Remove
- do_magic_resume_2()
- Rename to swsusp_resume().
- Return an int.
- swsusp general
- Remove unnecessary includes.
- Remove suspend_pagedir_lock, since it was only used to disable IRQs.
- Change swsusp_{suspend,resume} return an int, so pm_suspend_disk() knows
if anything failed.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Add new port numbers.
This adds the new port numbers which are in use in MAC and PARISC
trees (so other people know they're taken.)
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Fix device suspend handling
- Handle -EAGAIN in device_suspend() properly: keep going, with error reset
to 0.
- Call dpm_resume() if we got a real error, instead of device_resume(), which
would deadlock.
<lord@penguin.americas.sgi.com>
[XFS] fix up xfs_lowbit's use of ffs
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:156655a
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Fix handling of pm_users.
- Actually decrement on device_pm_release()
- Call from device_pm_remove().
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Separate suspend-to-disk from other suspend sequences.
- Put in kernel/power/disk.c
- Make compilation depend on CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (should probably be
renamed to CONFIG_PM_STD or some such).
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Rename core.o and 8250_cs.o
core.ko is a bad name for a module - make it serial_core.ko
8250_cs.ko continues to cause people compatibility problems with
older kernels, so rename that back to serial_cs.ko
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] PCI hotplug: fix up a bunch of copyrights that were incorrectly declared.
It needs to be "Copyright (C)" not "Copyright (c)" according to the lawyers
who know these things...
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] I2C: added new id for Radeon driver.
As requested by kronos@kronoz.cjb.net
<mds@paradyne.com>
[PATCH] I2C: i2c-isa functionality
The "functionality" return was incorrectly removed for i2c-isa.c when porting to 2.5.
A driver that does nothing must return a 0 or else i2c-core assumes
0xffffffff (all functionality).
<hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
[PATCH] DEVICE_NAME_SIZE/_HALF removal (I2C stuff)
<hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
[PATCH] DEVICE_NAME_SIZE/_HALF removal (I2C related, but v4l stuff)
<hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
[PATCH] DEVICE_NAME_SIZE/_HALF removal (I2C related, but fb stuff)
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Make sure devices get added to the PM lists before bus_add_device().
- Prevents ordering issues when drivers add more devices ->probe().
<mochel@osdl.org>
[acpi] Move register save closer to call to enter sleep state.
- By moving acpi_{save,restore}_state_mem() into acpi_pm_enter(), implying
after interrupts have been disabled and nothing else is running on the
system, S3 is able to resume properly.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: semaphore fixes based on report by ever watchful Olaf Hering
<wcohen@redhat.com>
[PATCH] ia64: oprofile support
I have revised the oprofile patch for ia64 to provide just the basic
timer interrupt mechanism to avoid interferring with the perfmon 2.0
support. I have verified the oprofile ia64 patch applies cleanly and
build a working kernel with the 2.6.0-test4 kernel and the
linux-2.6.0-test4-ia64-030826.diff.bz2 patch.
More work is required to get oprofile to work with the perfmon 2.0.
However, the patch as it is currently implements should not cause
problems for the perfom 2.0 support.
<bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
[PATCH] ia64: clean up acpi_boot_init()
I was confused about this bit
of code in acpi_boot_init():
smp_boot_data.cpu_count = available_cpus;
if (available_cpus == 0) {
printk(KERN_INFO "ACPI: Found 0 CPUS; assuming 1\n");
available_cpus = 1; /* We've got at least one of these, no? */
}
smp_build_cpu_map();
because it first saves available cpus in smp_boot_data, then potentially
modifies available_cpus. This looked at first like a bug, but I think
actually works out correctly, because smp_boot_data.cpu_count is only
used in smp_build_cpu_map(), and if cpu_count is zero, it prevents us
from looking at smp_boot_data.cpu_phys_id[0], which hasn't been
initialized.
This should only happen with really buggy firmware, so I'm not even
sure it's worth doing more than panicking, but if we're going to deal
with it, I propose the following patch to avoid even the appearance
of a bug. This just does what acpi_parse_lsapic() would have done
if the firmware tables were correct.
<tony.luck@intel.com>
[PATCH] ia64: fix PM config option
CONFIG_PM is set without a menu entry to turn it on/off.
<matthewc@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] ia64: Fix "nosmp" breakage from cpumask patch.
Patch should be self-explanatory.
<tony.luck@intel.com>
[PATCH] ia64: trim.bottom trims the wrong entry
efi_memmap_walk() repeatedly trims the same
entry, instead of trimming each of the entries in the granule.
<eranian@hpl.hp.com>
[PATCH] ia64: perfmon2 update
This patch:- added support for the fake HP simulator PMU. Most of the
code provided by Ian Wienand. Allows a kernel compiled for
the simulator and with CONFIG_PERFMON enabled to boot.
- cleaned up all CTX_*() macros for the context state changes.
- relaxed constraint for system-wide session by allowing all
task with access to the context's file descriptor to
manipulate the context as long as they run on the CPU the
context is attached to.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[swsusp] Minor cleanups in read_suspend_image()
- Make resume_bdev global to file, so we don't have to pass it around (we
always use the same one, so it shouldn't make a difference).
- Allocate cur in read_suspend_image(), since it's the only function that
uses it.
- Check all errors and make sure we free cur if any happen.
- Make sure to return errors from the functions called, not our own.
- Free the pagedir if we hit an error after we allocate it.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[swsusp] Use BIO interface when reading from swap.
- bios are the preferred method for doing this type of stuff in 2.6. The
__bread() uses bio's in the end anyway.
- bios make it really easy to implement write functionality, so we are able
to reset the swap signature immediately after checking it during resume.
So, if something happens while resuming, we will still have valid swap to
use.
- Thanks to Jens for some help in getting it working several months ago.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[swsusp] Restore software_suspend() call.
- Allows 'backdoor' interface to swsusp, as requested by Pavel.
- Simply a wrapper to pm_suspend(), though guaranteeing that swsusp is used,
and system is shutdown (and put into low-power state).
- Call in sys_reboot() changed back to call to software_suspend().
<mochel@osdl.org>
[acpi] Replace /proc/acpi/sleep
- Bad to remove proc file now, even though it's nearly useless. Reinstated
in the name of compatibility.
- Restored original semantics - if software_suspend() is enabled, then just
call that (and never go into low-power state). Otherwise, call acpi_suspend().
- acpi_suspend() is simply a wrapper for pm_suspend(), passing down the right
argument. This is so we don't have to do everything manually anymore.
- Fixed long-standing bug by checking for "4b" in string written in to
determine if we want to enter S4bios.

ppc64: fix bogus NR_CPUS*2 struct in xics.c
<azarah@gentoo.org>
[PATCH] I2C: Fix conversion from milli volts in store_in_reg() for w83781d.c
I am not sure if it was a later patch from me that fixed in_* to display
milli volts in sysfs, or if it was a patch from Jan Dittmer, but the
conversion in the store_in_*() functions is wrong, and cause something
like:
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Whitespace fixes.
From the -test4-mm5 tree.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Rework signal code and add a swapcontext system call.
The main thing here is that the signal delivery/return code for real-time
signals has been changed so that the layout of the registers corresponds
with the new ucontext_t definition being used by glibc. The old ucontext_t
didn't have space to actually store the registers, just a pointer to them,
which made it impossible to implement set/getcontext et al. The new
ucontext_t includes a mcontext_t which actually contains space to store
all of the general, floating pointer and vector registers.
We now also save the altivec registers on signal delivery and restore them
on return from the signal if the process has ever used altivec (since the
last exec).
Finally this adds a swapcontext system call. Swapcontext really needs to be
done in the kernel since on PPC, only privileged code can set all three of
CTR, LR and NIA (next instruction address) to arbitrary values. Also the kernel
know if the process currently owns the FP and altivec units and can optimize
in the case where it doesn't.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Provide proper siginfo information on various exceptions.
This also includes a change so that if an instruction is being single-stepped
and it turns out to need to be emulated (e.g. because of an alignment
exception, or because we are emulating floating-point instructions), then
we need to deliver a SIGTRAP after successfully emulating the instruction
and advancing NIP.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Bitmap operands to find_first/next_bit functions are const.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Fix for highmem on PPC 440
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Update the alignment exception handler for POWER4 processors
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Document the typo that made it into the definition of MINSTKSZ
(last two numbers got transposed). Thanks to Arun Sharma for
finding this. New glibc's will have the value corrected, but
we leave the kernel at the old (bogus) value to retain backwards-
compatibility (and while a strange value, the old value works just
fine).
<eranian@hpl.hp.com>
[PATCH] ia64: perfmon2 update
This patch fixes the following:
- correct a bug in pfm_close() which was causing some per-process
sessions to not unreserve on exit.
- changed the permission checking to load a context to allow more
flexibility, modeled after ptrace_attach().
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Finnish adding ECC support. Based on patch by Suresh Siddah.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Fix asm-ia64/acpi.h typo & name-collision.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Direct sys_fadvise64() to sys_fadvise64_64().
<davej@redhat.com>
[AGPGART] Mention Intel 875 support in Kconfig.
<hch@de.rmk.(none)>
[PCMCIA] kill flush_stale_links
following Dave's guide it's replaced by calling foo_detach in
foo_release if the links is stale. Note that I killed DEV_STALE_LINK
aswell as DEV_STALE_CONFIG isn't ever cleared so we don't need two
flags.
Also some dead codepathes related to DEV_STALE_* are killed.
<hch@de.rmk.(none)>
[PCMCIA] kill dead DEV_STALE_* codepathes in non-networking drivers
I guess there was some overzealous copy & pasting going on..
<akpm@org.rmk.(none)>
[PCMCIA] RL5C4XX_16BIT_MEM_0 was wrong.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Remove SS_DEBOUNCED.
We don't need to handle the debouncing of card insertion events
anymore, so we can kill SS_DEBOUNCED.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Remove a set of unused definitions.
SOCKET_SHUTDOWN_PENDING, SOCKET_RESET_PENDING, SOCKET_IO_REQ and
pcmcia_socket's real_clients member are all unused.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: Update unhandled irq code to match x86
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: start using kallsyms now its compiled in by default
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Drop level argument from pcmcia_socket_dev_* calls.
The driver model changed recently, and instead of providing per-driver
suspend/resume functionality, it now provides it on a per-bus basis.
It also dropped the "level" argument.
Unfortunately, platform device drivers suspend and resume methods
are no longer called by the driver model, so socket drivers using
platform devices won't work correctly. However, we fix them up as
best we can. (hd64465, i82365, sa1100, tcic)
This cset drops the `level' argument from the PCMCIA suspend/resume
functions since it is now meaningless.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Remove incorrect/misleading/old comments from cardbus.c
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: convert xmon to use kallsyms now its compiled in by default.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: ppc64 Hugepage support from David Gibson
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: forgot to add the guts of hugetlb support
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: hugetlb fixes for LPAR and numa hugetlb support
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Remove editor droppings.
<trini@kernel.crashing.org>
PPC32: Add _IO{R,W,WR}_BAD and update _IO{R,W,WR}.
<jes@wildopensource.com>
[PATCH] ia64: remove unused sn2 header files
This patch eliminates two unused SN2 header files:
include/asm-ia64/sn/klclock.h and include/asm-ia64/sn/ioc3.h.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Fix things so that they compile with the latest GCC 3.4, which optimize
away static variables with no compiler-visible use.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Drop unnecessary version check in sba_iommu.c.
<davej@redhat.com>
[AGPGART] Fix ATI GART for IGP9100/R300
From the folks at ATI. Some chips hang with this flush.
<jbarnes@sgi.com>
[PATCH] ia64: misc. sn2 updates
Fix a couple of sn2 files.
<jbarnes@sgi.com>
[PATCH] ia64: fix current usage in sn2 code
For some reason, we had a structure field called 'current'. This patch
fixes that.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Simplify error handling in pm_suspend_prepare().
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Make sure we restore interrupts if device_power_down() fails.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Add support for refrigerator to the migration_thread.
- The PM code currently must signal each kernel thread when suspending, and
each thread must call refrigerator() to stop itself. This patch adds
support for this to migration_thread, which allows suspend states to work
on an SMP-enabled kernel (though not necessarily an SMP machine).
- Note I do not know why the process freezing code was designed in such a
way. One would think we could do it without having to call each thread
individually, and fix up the threads that need special work individually..
<mochel@osdl.org>
[swsusp] Make sure we call restore_processor_state() when suspending.
- Added unconditionally to exit path of swsusp_arch_suspend(). This is done
to call kernel_fpu_end() to reset the preempt count on suspend.
- Note that we must preserve %eax across that call.
<suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
[PATCH] ia64: fix typo in spinlock.h
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Fix swsusp with preempt and clean up.
In order to snapshot memory, interrupts must be disabled. However, in order
to write the saved image to disk, interrupts must be re-enabled and devices
resumed. Previously, both actions were called from swsusp_arch_suspend().
This patch separates those two actions has only the snapshotting routine
called from swsusp_arch_suspend(). swsusp now handles it's own disabling of
interrupts only for the time required. This is now handled from swsusp_save()
and swsusp_write() now handles writing the image only (called with interrupts
enabled).
swsusp_save_image() was renamed to swsusp_suspend() (and the old incarnation
deleted since it was simply a wrapper).
<arun.sharma@intel.com>
[PATCH] ia64: MINSIGSTKSZ on ia32
MINSIGSTKSZ is defined differently for i386 and ia64. This patch improves
compatibility with apps which use sigaltstack(2) with sizes between
MINSIGSTKSZ_IA32 and MINSIGSTKSZ.
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] sym53c8xx driver 2.1.18
Yes, there's a lot of changes here. I've been busy :-P
- Delete linux/version.h include as it's not necessary
- Delete compatibility with ncr53c8xx configuration options
- Convert to C99 initialisers
- Delete the options: pci_parity, scsi_parity, min_sync, max_wide,
max_offs, max_lun and pci_fix_up. Some were unused, some are now
unused.
- Delete all the default settings from sym_conf.h that were unused.
- Delete host_lock abstractions.
- Replace custom jiffy handling with standard ones.
- Replace u_long with unsigned long
- Inline scsi_data_direction()
- Use ioremap directly instead of indirecting through pci_map_mem.
- Delete typedefs: bus_addr_t, ucmd_p, vm_offset_t, stcb_p,
slcb_p, sccb_p, shcb_p, sym_device and sym_slot.
- Use min() instead of MIN()
- Use memcpy() instead of bcopy().
- Delete code dependent on SYM_CONF_PCIQ_BROKEN_INTR as it's never defined.
- Simplify the locking in sym_eh_handler().
- Make the eh handlers static.
- Use ctype.h instead of custom variants.
- Use SYM_CONF_IOMAPPED and SYM_OPT_NO_BUS_MEMORY_MAPPING in a more
consistent manner.
- Remove check_region() and use pci_request_region instead.
- Mark sym_detach() as __devexit.
- Move many includes from sym_glue.h to sym_glue.c
- Stop using Scsi_Cmnd.
- Stop using ../hosts.h.
- Simplify *_raw definitions.
- Move PA-RISC specific code into its own function.

[PATCH] ia64: unwind.c fix for spinlock-debug compilation
If you try to compile 2.6.0-test[45] with spinlock debugging on, then
unwind.c won't compile, because it uses a #define magic that hides
the variable in the spinlock debugging code (also called magic).
<davej@redhat.com>
[AGPGART] Remove unreferenced extern
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Drop "level" argument from serial PM calls.
Since the driver model has transitioned away from using multi-level
device suspend/resume, we also drop the multi-level support from
the serial layer.
Update the 8250 and sa1100 drivers for this change.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Convert serial config deps to select statements
The dependencies for CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE / CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
were becoming very messy. This cset converts the dependencies to
use "select" statements instead.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Fix another missing irqreturn_t (clps711x.c)
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Introduce per-port capabilities.
This allows us to maintain quirks or capabilities on a per-port basis,
so we can handle buggy clones more effectively.

This patch adds a #define, so that people can start writing more
readable code.

[PATCH] Fix blk_stop_queue bug
Benh saw some bugs where the queue would end up being in an invalid
state, and this could certainly explain one of them. We must not have a
stopped queue on the plug list, and blk_plug_device() right now will
happily plug a stopped queue.
We don't need to have it plugged either, blk_start_queue() will make
sure that request_fn gets run.

[PATCH] IDE: Fix request handling with ide-default & ATAPI
This fixes a bug that happens when a request gets to the IDE layer for a
drive using ide-default (that is with no subdriver attached), like a
Power Management request. In this case, the core will wait for the
device status to match drive->read_stat, but that field contains by
default a value that is not suitable for ATAPI devices. This patch
fixes it.
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
[PATCH] IDE: Fix Power Management request race on resume
The current IDE Power Management code I wrote has a race on wakeup when
the master device got resumed, it may take a request. At this point, a
PM resume request to a slave device of the same hwgroup would clear
hwgroup->rq and cause an Oops when the master device request completes.
This patch fixes it. Due to the context in which PM resume requests are
sent, just not clearing hwgroup->rq for these is enough.
I also removed a useless debug message in the PM code that was
actually misleading (people though it indicated a problem while it
didn't, it's really useless) and fix a typo in a comment.

[CPUFREQ] Merge speedstep-smi driver.
From: Hiroshi Miura <miura@da-cha.org>
Intel SpeedStep driver using a BIOS SMI call.
Quoting his original announcement:
"This driver is based on the information from
1. Microsoft Windows XP Document.
we can get the SMI interface values from ax=E980/int15 BIOS call.
2. Intel SpeedStep Applet Document.(from HP.com)
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/evonotebook/us/download/10631.html
" Adds code to request transition ownership when processing
the system critical resume message. When a critical hibernate occurs,
the Applet does not receive any system level notification. The change forces
the Applet to re-acquire transition ownership upon resume from a critical hibernate. "
This is informative. This saied that something 'ownership' call is needed on SMI
interface first.
3. Grover, Andrew's int 15h patch posted to cpufreq ml
Message-ID: <F760B14C9561B941B89469F59BA3A847E96E28@orsmsx401.jf.intel.com>

4. Malik Martin's rev engineering results.

and need signature 'ISG' when call.
find function values. bx=1(get) and bx=2(set)
5. Marc Lehmann's 'speedstep' utility,
sample of assembler code to call SMI.
6. My work.
find function to return max/min freq which system supportd. (bx=4)
more values are gotten, but I cannot understand...
find 'ownership' function value(bx=0, which is other than 1 2 4..).
ToDo(in pregress)
support governor "auto" and using smi_event call, imprement auto freqchange
feature.
test on 440BX/ZX platform.
Memo
module parameters are override result of an int 15h/eax=E890h call.
these parameter value are gotten from Windows XP registory."
Also includes some bugfixes, updates and workarounds from me.
NB: A lot of BIOS out there are buggy. You might want to try this driver
also with Intel's default values -- smi_cmd = 0x82 and smi_port = 0xb2

[PATCH] Initialise devfs_name in various block drivers
From: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru>
Various block drivers are currently devfs-unaware. Andrey's patch attempts
to give them reasonable representations in devfs.
"The attached patch suggests some possible names for non-floppy devices
based on reading driver source. I have to ask if these make sense. At
least for cciss Mandrake devfsd patch expects different names but it
seems to be mistake (it assumes single controller always)
"For floppy it is not as simple. Floppy cannot use genhd and must
create names manually; but I do not know what names are appropriate or
expected.
"For acsi the target/lun name may have problem of creating compat names
(if any) by devfsd.
"Please note that none of them created any devfs name under 2.4 as well.
So it is not a regression ..."

[PATCH] dac960 devfs_name initialisation fix
From: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru>
DAC960.c does it incorrectly (at least in 2.6.0-test4). It will create
_directory_ /dev/rd/cNdM making it impossible to create compat block device
entry with the same name.
The right thing it to create separate directory for each controller/target as
in attached trivial patch (untested due to lack of hardware). You will need
devfsd support for this but then you will need it for cciss or cpqarray as
well and possibly for others. Which returns us to the problem of devfsd
maintenance ...
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] compiler warning fixes for DAC960 on alpha
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
This patch is forwarded from Jay Estabrook at HP. I've compiled the
patch on ia32 and ia64 machines and it's good. I also recreated
the patch so it would apply to mm5 without fuzzy offsets.
Here's Jay's summary of the patch:
Here's a very small set of patches against 2.6.0-test4 that help the
DAC960 driver compile cleaner (gets rid of warnings on Alpha) and help
it to work on some old OEM'ed DAC960 cards that were sold in our older
Alphas.
The warnings are all concerned with "conversions to different size
without cast", as pointers and longs are same size (8-bytes) but ints
are 4-bytes, on Alpha. I don't believe the change to (long) from (int)
will affect any 32-bit architectures, but those using LP64 like Alpha,
ie SPARC64 and prolly IA64, will have the warnings go away.
The change to make the oldest acceptable firmware version 2.70 instead
of 2.73 is made spcific to Alpha, since it is only those cards that
DEC OEM'ed from Mylex that would have such (as explained a bit better
in the patch itself).

[PATCH] Move ikconfig to /proc/config.gz
From: "Randy.Dunlap" <randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
The SuSE kernels place their ikconfig info at /proc/config.gz: in a
different place, and compressed. We thought it was a good idea to do it
that way in 2.6 as well.
- gzip the /proc config file, put it in /proc/config.gz;
- Based on a SuSE patch by Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>, which was
derived from a patch by Nicholas Leon <nicholas@binary9.net>
- change /proc/ikconfig/built_with to /proc/config_build_info;
- cleanup ikconfig init/exit entry points (static, __init, __exit);
- Makefile help from Sam Ravnborg;
DESC
ikconfig cleanup
EDESC
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
Simplify and cleanup the code:
- use single interface to seq_file where possible
- don't need to do as much of the /proc interface, only read
- use copy_to_user to avoid char at a time copy
- remove unneccesary globals
- use const char[] rather than const char * where possible.
Didn't change the version since interface doesn't change.

[PATCH] Fix imm.c again
From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de>
Earlier patch wasn't correct especially in the !CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16
case, reading all uses of this array (IMM_MODE_STRING is used to print the
corresponding string in printks).
If I'm not misunderstanding it, CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16 means "use 16bit
even when 32bit is requested".
It seems the right solution is
static char *IMM_MODE_STRING[] =
{
[IMM_AUTODETECT] = "Autodetect",
[IMM_NIBBLE] = "SPP",
[IMM_PS2] = "PS/2",
[IMM_EPP_8] = "EPP 8 bit",
[IMM_EPP_16] = "EPP 16 bit",
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16
[IMM_EPP_32] = "EPP 16 bit",
#else
[IMM_EPP_32] = "EPP 32 bit",
#endif
[IMM_UNKNOWN] = "Unknown",
};

[PATCH] make selinux enable param config option, enabled by
From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
This patch against current bk makes the recently added SELinux boot
parameter feature a configurable option, and enables SELinux by default
when selected. These changes were made following feedback including
discussion on the SELinux list.
The rationale for the changes is to allow SELinux to be be configured and
enabled unconditionally. If the boot parameter option is selected, then
SELinux is now enabled unless selinux=0 is specified at the kernel command
line.

There is some inconsistency within lib/inflate.c and its users about

the '\n'.
This patch tries to make everyone consistent - by removing the
newline from all message texts, and adding one to the only error()
function which did not provide it (in init/do_mounts_rd.c).

[PATCH] ext3: remove debug code
ext3 has fancy test harness code which allows you to simulate crashes (for
testing recovery). It will make the underlying disk start ignoring writes a

It's inoperative without an additional offline patch anyway, and it's doing
hacky things which scared Al. So kill it; I'll maintain it in the separate
ext3 debug patch.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] mwave locking fixes
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
The mwave driver uses a user space daemon for some modem operations. The
user space daemon calls ioctl(,IOCTL_MW_GET_IPC), and the driver returns
after an interrupt arrived. The actual wait used
interruptible_sleep_on(), which can lead to lost wakeups. A local
spinlock on the stack is used to close that race, but this is broken on
SMP, perhaps even with preempt.
The attached patch fixes that by switching to the normal
add_wait_queue/test_if_race_occured/schedule/remove_wait_queue sequence.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] fix Summit srat.h includes
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
I was compiling for my plain 'ol PC, and was getting unresolved symbols
for get_memcfg_from_srat() and get_zholes_size(). The CONFIG_NUMA
definition right now allows it to be turned on for plain old X86_PC.
Does anyone know why this is?
depends on SMP && HIGHMEM64G &&
(X86_PC || X86_NUMAQ || X86_GENERICARCH ||
(X86_SUMMIT && ACPI && !ACPI_HT_ONLY))
In any case, the summit code incorrectly assumes in at least 2 places
that NUMA && !NUMAQ means summit. Someone was evidently trying to cover
the generic subarch case, but that's already taken care of by the lovely
config system and CONFIG_ACPI_SRAT. This patch fixes those assumptions
and adds a nice little warning for people that try to #include srat.h
without having srat support turned on.

[PATCH] Reduce random driver lock contention
From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
The new locking in the random driver is consuming 60% of CPU resources in
Anton's monster power5 boxes.
Basically, when the primary pool is 7/8th full, we shut off the firehose
and go into a trickle mode to keep the pool fresh. Saves CPU for everyone
and should make the contention drop off the charts too (though the trickle
factor might need adjusting again for Origin-class machines).

[PATCH] CPU scheduler CAN_MIGRATE fix
From: Andrew Theurer <habanero@us.ibm.com>
This change:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/diffs/kernel/sched.c@1.202
does not seem to make sense:
#define CAN_MIGRATE_TASK(p,rq,this_cpu) \
((!idle || (jiffies - (p)->last_run > cache_decay_ticks)) && \
!task_running(rq, p) && \
cpu_isset(this_cpu, (p)->cpus_allowed))
It should be just the opposite; an idle cpu should be able to have a more
aggressive steal, and a busy cpu should not.

To select the configuration for ppc/gemini simply issue the following command:
make gemini_defconfig
This will generate a valid configuration.
ppc and ppc64 already comply to the above requirements, arm needs some
trivial updates.

kbuild: Build minimum in scripts/ when changing configuration
From: Ricky Beam <jfbeam@bluetronic.net>, me
With the increasing amount of programs located in scripts/, several
of which is dependent on the kernel configuration, it makes sense to
avoid building these too often.
With this patch only fixdep is build, the minimal requirement for running
any *config target

kbuild: Remove cscope.out during make mrproper
From: "Nathan T. Lynch" <ntl@pobox.com>
The attached patch fixes the toplevel Makefile to remove cscope.out
during make mrproper. The default name for the database that cscope
creates is cscope.out, and this is what the cscope rule in the
makefile uses. Currently, mrproper will leave cscope.out behind,
which can make for interesting diffs...

[PATCH] another keyboard problem solved
A colleague reported that the keyboard of his brandnew laptop
is dead under 2.6 while 2.4 works.
Now I once wrote
In order to avoid interference between scancode sequences
or mouse packets and the reponses given to commands,
the keyboard or mouse should always be disabled before
giving a command that requires a response, and probably
enabled afterwards. Some keyboards or mice do the disable
automatically in this situation, but still require an
explicit enable afterwards.
(http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-9.html)
This is what happens on this laptop. The routine atkbd_probe()
probes for a keyboard, and after detecting it, enables it.
But immediately afterwards the routine atkbd_set_3() reads
the current scancode set and sets the desired set, and as a
side effect of these commands, the keyboard gets disabled again.
Thus, the keyboard enable must be moved after all command sending
has been done.
Now that I patch this area anyway: we are almost always in
scancode set 2 but send the ATKBD_CMD_SETALL_MB command
that only works in scancode set 3. At best this is useless.
At worst it confuses the keyboard. So, I put this command
in a separate routine and call that only when we really
are in scancode set 3.

kbuild: Separate output directory
Separate output directory support enables the following (at least):
o Building several configurations from the same SRC base, and in parrallel
o Building from a RO media
o More efficient build if files are retreived via NFS (files stored locally)
Usage is simple:
cd /path/to/kernel/src
mkdir ~/build/kernel
make O=~/build/kernel [Make options]
Please note: The O= syntax must be used for ALL invocations of make.
As an alternative you may set KBUILD_OUTPUT to the directory where
to put the output files.
The patch works for me, and I have tried with various configurations,
including allnoconfig and defconfig.
How it works:
If the O= option is used, or KBUILD_OUTPUT is set then a second invocation
of make happens in the output directory.
The second invocation of make uses VPATH to tell make where to locate
the files. Furthermore include options for gcc is modifyied to point
both in the directory where the kernel src is located, and in the
directory where the output files are located. The latter is used for
generated .h files.
When building the kernel the asm symlink is created. To support this
a new 'include2' directory is created. Within include2/ asm is a symlink to
the asm-$(ARCH) directory in the kernel src.
Also when building the kernel the asm-offset.h file is created, and
located in the include/asm-$(ARCH) directory, but included via
<asm/asm-offset.h>.
Therefore within include/ another asm symlink is created pointing to
the asm-$(ARCH) directory located in the output directory.
In Makefile.build the output directory is created if not already present.
This was needed to support xfs, and oprofile.
The patch is loosly based on ideas from Kai G. Roman Zippel
introduced support for this in kconfig long time ago

<piggin@cyberone.com.au>
[PATCH] Badness in as_completed_request warning
Thish fixes Suparna's fsx and aio-stress and Dave Olien's concurrent
mke2fs problems.
It moves the hash adding into as_add_request. This fixes a small bug
where a request could be added to the merge hash after being put on the
dispatch list.
It also moves responsibility for handling rbtree aliases (requests with
the same start sector) out of as_add_arq_rb and into its caller. This
cleans up a layering problem which was causing the state machine to go
silly. Now instead of forcing the alias out onto the dispatch list, we
chain the new request behind it, and they get sorted out at dispatch
time.

[e1000] new 82541/5/6/7 hardware support

[e1000] 82544 PCI-X hang fix + TSO updates
* Bug fix: 82544 hang with PCI-X: if outgoing Tx buffers terminate
within evenly-aligned dwords, and the device is sharing the bus
segment with another PCI-X device, 82544 can hang the bus on a
split-completion transaction. Fix is to split buffer into two
buffers with the first one not terminating within evenly-aligned
dword address, and the second one being 4-bytes, which goes as a
non-split-conpletion PCI-X transaction.
* 8254x controllers that support TSO do an internal calculation to
make sure there is enough FIFO space to handle the overhead
of each TSO segment before DMA'ing TSO data from host memory. The
internal calculation is dependent on the mss of the TSO (defines
the number of segments), but the reserved space is a constant, so
we need to adjust the maximum size of each buffer queued to the
hardware to hold the equation and not overrun the FIFO. This is
per TSO because the mss can change from one send to the next.

[PATCH] slip.c: current state cleanup
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] fix build of cosa
The cosa driver definition of ioctl's either conflicts or was not picked
up in the last round of _IOR redefinition (on 2.6.0-test5).
The following makes it build, have no idea if it still works
on real hardware.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] (1/4) sdla - move out of Space.c
Patch against 2.60-test5 to move sdla driver out of Space.c for initialization
in non-module case. Since this driver doesn't come up until the device has
been configured with an ioctl (set_config); there is no way it can have
startup order problems.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] (2/4) get rid of register_frad
The sdla and dlci drivers have a callback interface which only stores a name
in a table, but doesn't do anything useful. Looks like an interface which has
lost it's usefulness and can be safely removed.
Tested on 2.6.0-test5 by exercising the higher layer (dlci) without real hardware.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] (3/4) dlci locking and registration changes
Change the locking for the dlci device list and registration.
- use RTNL instead of a private lock (needed for net notifier in next patch).
- reorder the checks in the dlci_add to avoid complicated unwinds
- use dev->destructor to free
- hold RTNL around deassoc to protect callback from races
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] (4/4) dlci netdevice event handling
Since dlci device is a pseudo device built on top of sdla, change it to
handle unregister events and delete itself.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] (5/4) dlci netdevice event handling

[ATM]: seq_file for /proc/net/atm (devices) [1/8] (from romieu@fr.zoreil.com)
seq_file conversion for proc/atm/devices:
- code inspired from seq_file use in net/core/dev.c;
- atm_dev_lock taken/released in atm_dev_seq_{start/stop};
- add a helper CREATE_SEQ_ENTRY() similar to CREATE_ENTRY() (both are removed
once conversion is done).
- atm_dev_seq_{start/stop/next} done in net/atm/resource.[ch] to ease
future handling of atm_devs and locking structure (per Chas suggestion)
<char@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: seq_file for /proc/net/atm (vc utils) [2/8] (from romieu@fr.zoreil.com)
Helpers for seq_file conversion of proc/atm/{pvc/svc/vc}:
- struct vcc_state keeps
1) the struct sock from which the current struct atm_vcc is deduced
2) the family to which must belong the vcc (PF_ATM{SVC/PVC/any})
3) the availability of clip module
- vcc_seq{start/stop} are responsible for vcc_sklist locking
- __vcc_seq_open and vcc_seq_release take care of get/put for the clip module.
Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_vc_xxx renamed to vcc_xxx
- atm_vc_common_seq_open renamed __vcc_seq_open (future name clashes
avoidance)
<char@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: seq_file for /proc/net/atm (pvc) [3/8] (from romieu@fr.zoreil.com)
seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/pvc:
- pvc_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replaces sprintf;
- atm_pvc_info() removal;
- the vc helpers (vcc__seq_xxx) do the remaining work.
Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_pvc_xxx renamed to pvc_xxx
- atm_seq_pvc_fops renamed to pvc_seq_fops

[ATM]: seq_file for /proc/net/atm (vc) [5/8] (from romieu@fr.zoreil.com)
seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/vc:
Same comments as for pvc and svc.
Extra Chas's suggestion applied since last version:
- atm_vc_xxx renamed to vcc_xxx.
<chas@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: seq_file for /proc/net/atm (arp) [6/8] (from romieu@fr.zoreil.com)
seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/arp:
- svc_addr/atmarp_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replace sprintf and friends;
- arp_getidx/arp_vcc_walk() take care of the usual seq_file cursor
positionning: they both return NULL until the cursor has reached its
position. struct atm_arp_state is updated accordingly;
- arp_seq_{stop/start} are responsible for clip_tbl_hook (un)locking;
- module refcounting is done in arp_seq_open()/arp_seq_release();
- atm_lec_info() is removed.
Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_arp_xxx renamed to arp_xxx;
- atm_seq_arp_fops renamed to arp_seq_fops.
Chas didn't ask for it but I renamed arp_vc_walk to arp_vcc_walk.
<chas@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: seq_file conversion of /proc/net/atm [7/8]
seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/lec:
- lec_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replaces sprintf;
- traversal of the lec structure needs to walk:
-> the lec interfaces
-> the tables of arp tables(lec_arp_tables);
-> the arp tables themselves
-> the misc tables (lec_arp_empty_ones/lec_no_forward/mcast_fwds)
Sum up of the call tree:
atm_lec_seq_start()/atm_lec_seq_next()
-> atm_lec_get_idx()
-> atm_lec_itf_walk() (responsible for dev_lec/dev_put handling)
-> atm_lec_priv_walk() (responsible for lec_priv locking)
-> atm_lec_arp_walk()
-> atm_lec_tbl_walk()
-> atm_lec_misc_walk()
-> atm_lec_tbl_walk()
Each of the dedicated functions follows the same convention: return NULL
as long as the seq_file cursor hasn't been digested (i.e. until < 0).
Locking is only done when an entry (i.e. a lec_arp_table) is referenced.
atm_lec_seq_stop()/atm_lec_itf_walk()/atm_lec_priv_walk() are responsible
for getting this point right.
- module refcounting is done in atm_lec_seq_open()/atm_lec_seq_release();
- atm_lec_info() is removed.
Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_seq_lec_fops renamed to lec_seq_fops;
- change in state handling: it wasn't correctly set to its reset value
after a complete interface walk;
- lec_arp_get_status_string() bugfix.
<chas@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: seq_file conversion of /proc/net/atm [8/8] (from romieu@fr.zoreil.com)

- removal of code duplication in atm_proc_init();
- removal of the macros CREATE_SEQ_ENTRY() and CREATE_ENTRY();
- /proc/net/atm/vcc returns to /proc/net/atm/vc;
- credits at the top of the file;
- replaced proc_dev_atm_operations by proc_atm_dev_ops;
- atm_proc_dev_register: removal of tasteless "fail0/fail1" labels.

[PATCH] Coda updates [3/5]
Both userspace and the kernel are testing only the fsuid part of the

kernel-userspace API is kept compatible (for now).
<jaharkes@cs.cmu.edu>
[PATCH] Coda updates [4/5]
The ViceFid structure is really a Coda server datatype and the kernel
really shouldn't have to know its internal structure. Replace all

<jaharkes@cs.cmu.edu>
[PATCH] Coda updates [5/5]
Introduce a new kernel-userspace interface that uses 128-bit file
identifiers instead of the previously used 96-bit fileids. We also
replacing the coda_creds structure with only the fsuid.
This new API has been used by for a couple of months now, people had to
patch their kernels whenever they want to run a current Coda release.
A new Kconfig option is added to fall back on the old API for older Coda
clients and other userspace filesystems that might use our protocol.

o LLC: implement llc_add_pack/llc_remove_pack

For this some more functions had to be moved around, now one doesn't
have to explicitely select LLC to have access in the menu to ipx,
appletalk, token ring, etc.
This is not yet as good as I want it to be, but at least makes it
easier for the hordes of users to select stuff, making it look more
like how it was in 2.4.
In the next changesets I'll fix the fact that CONFIG_TR is a bool
and makes psnap, p8022 and llc_core to be built statically even tho
the token ring drivers are being build as modules.

[AGPGART] Add HP AGP 8x bridge and fix ACPI claim
The following patch to the HP ZX1 GART driver
- adds recognition of the "HWP0007" device (an AGP 8X bridge)
- fixes the use of acpi_get_devices()
The problem with acpi_get_devices() is that it always returns AE_OK,
except when the callback (zx1_gart_probe()) returns a failure. That
means agp_hp_init() cannot use the status from acpi_get_devices()
to distinguish between (1) an AGP bridge was found and successfully
initialized, and (2) no AGP bridge was found at all.

<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (2 of 9)
This patch fixes the most blatant problems that can happen when an error
is encountered during descriptor parsing.
The struct device embedded within a struct usb_interface is
initialized as soon as the structure is allocated, so that when
put_device() is called it will contain valid data.
put_device() is not called for unallocated interfaces.
The pointers in config->extra are freed when the struct
usb_host_config is freed.
rawdescriptor pointers are initialized to 0 so that they can be
freed without error.
Partially parsed configurations are remembered so that they will
be deallocated when the entire struct usb_device is freed.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (3 of 9)
This patch includes a bunch of little local improvements to the code,
listed in the patch comments. There are only two notable changes. If a
device has more configurations than our maximum, the code doesn't reject
the device but simply parses as many configurations as it can and ignores
the rest. Likewise, if a configuration contains too many interfaces, the
code parses as many as it can and skips the excess. That way such devices
will be at least partially useable. Since these limits are arbitrary and
set by the implementation (not part of the USB spec), it doesn't make
sense to reject a device that violates them.
Numerous local programming improvements:
Don't initialize to 0 fields in structures that have been memset to 0.
Don't constantly keep track of how many bytes are parsed.
Use local variables to hold unwieldy values.
Remove redundant tests.
Allow devices to have more configurations or interfaces than we can handle.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (4 of 9)
Although it's hard to tell from reading the patch, this just moves one
section of code to a slightly different spot. Currently the code that
skips over the extra class- and vendor-specific configuration-related
descriptors is part of the loop that parses interface descriptors. The
patch moves it outside, immediately before that loop -- where it belongs.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (5 of 9)
This patch centralizes the error checking for invalid descriptor lengths
and unexpected descriptor types. Instead of doing it in three different
places -- while parsing configuration, interface, and endpoint descriptors
-- the new code does it all at once. Not surprisingly, this yields a net
savings in code size.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (6 of 9)
This patch removes the home-brewed resizeable arrays used to store
altsetting structures, along with the now-unneeded max_altsetting field.
Since we are already making a preliminary pass through all the descriptors
to check their lengths, we take the opportunity to also count the number
of altsetting descriptors for each interface. Then exactly the right
number can be allocated all at once.
This also moves the code that allocates the altsettings outside the
usb_parse_interface() routine. Though not important now, this change will
come in handy in the next patch.

[power] Optimize pmdisk assembly.
- No need to save %ebx, since we replace it with saved version after we
restore image.
- No need to use long long for the loop counters, since they can't conceivably
exeed 32 bits. We can then fit them in general registers, and don't actually
have to write them back after each iteration.
- Use rep ; movsl to copy each page, instead of copying a byte at a time.
This actually makes a noticable improvment when restoring the saved image.
This also relieves register pressure by using %esi and %edi, which allows
us to kill the loop variables altogether.
- Call {save,restore}_processor_state() from the pmdisk C functions. We need
to make sure all the counters are set appropriately before and after each
path, and we don't _have_ to call them from assembly.

[PATCH] USB: unusual device fixup for the Y-E floppy drive.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (7 of 9)
This patch changes the usb_parse_interface() routine so that it only
handles a single interface/altsetting descriptor at a time, rather than
trying to handle all the altsettings for an interface at once. Besides
shrinking the code slightly, this has the advantage of not requiring the
interfaces to be listed in order or all the altsetting descriptors for an
interface to be contiguous. While there probably aren't any devices that
have _discontiguous_ altsetting descriptors, there's no harm in allowing
it -- particularly since doing so provides an overall simplification.
This is another of those hard-to-read patches. It moves most of the body
of the usb_parse_interface() function out of a loop, thereby changing the
indentation level without actually altering the code.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (8 of 9)
This patch adds some extra error checking. The patch-comments list most
it. Particularly worth noting is the check on the endpoint addresses.
Since these addresses are used as indexes for the epmaxpacketin and
epmaxpacketout arrays, illegal values could result in overwriting
unrelated areas of memory.
Other noteworthy checks involve interface and alsetting numbers. Since
the old code ignored those values, of course it didn't bother to check
them. Here we make sure that the numbers lie in the proper ranges and
that there are no "missing" entries.
Add error checking and improved error messages:
Check for invalid endpoint descriptors and invalid endpoint addresses.
Check for duplicate interface/altsetting descriptors.
Check for invalid configuration descriptors.
Check for missing interface/altsetting descriptors.
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Changes to core/config.c (9 of 9)
This patch implements the change discussed last weekend. Rather than
allocating separate memory areas for the "extra" descriptors and copying
the descriptor contents, it simply makes the "extra" pointers refer to
memory within the rawdescriptor arrays.

sure that we reset it correctly.

for the header.

[PATCH] USB: ethtool_ops and ax8817x fixes for usbnet
This is a resend of all of my recent usbnet additions which
center on adding ethtool_ops support. All have been re-diffed
against the latest usbnet from BK.
Changes:
* Add ethtool_ops support to usbnet
* Add GPIO bit toggling upon initialization of ax8817x devices
so that xmit works properly
* Add Wake-On-Lan and eeprom dump support for ax8817x devices
(this only adds the config support for WOL, actual operation
is more of a USB/Power Management function)
* Change ax8817x_set_multicast to not kmalloc for the filter
since there was no clean way to free the memory after URB submit.
Instead, we make use of the 20 byte dev->data.

o LLC: trim down llc_core to the very basic support needed by IPX et all
Renaming the basic support module to llc.ko and introducing llc_core.c,
that has just the basic output path for llc_build_and_send_ui_pkt.
Next step will be to rename llc_main.c to llc_station.c, then consolidate
all the llc station code in this file, removing all the not needed
llc_station parameters and killing struct llc_station altogether,
no sense in having it as there is just one station, always. BTW in
this changeset parts of llc_main_station was already moved to llc_core.c,
namely the sap list and lock.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o LLC: rename llc_main.[ch] to llc_station.[ch]
First step at coalescing the station handling into just one file,
killing some useless headers in the process.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o LLC: reorganize llc_station.c to kill useless static prototypes
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o LLC: consolidate the LLC station component into llc_station.c
Deleting llc_actn.[ch], llc_evnt.[ch] & llc_stat.[ch], now it is
clearly separated from the rest and lots of previously externally
visible thru headers stuff is nicely restrained in this file.
Also remove the silly passing around of pointers to llc_main_station,
use it directly.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o LLC: llc_station.h is not useful anymore, kill it
Some defines had no place in this header, moved to llc_conn.h,
the struct llc_station, that probably will disappear in the near
future, is used only in llc_station.c, so remove one more
file from the include forest.

[PATCH] depca update
I finally found some time to hack the depca driver, in basically the
same way I did with the de4x5 driver. The patch is quite big (shuffles
a lot of code around, removes lots of global variables), mainly in
order to use the driver model on every bus supported by this driver.
I also removed the probing from Space.c, so the usual warning about
device renumbering applies.
Tested on alpha (DE422, EISA) and i386 (two DE201, ISA), built-in and
modular. The MCA part is completly untested, since I lack the hardware
(no, I do not own every single piece of junk hardware out
there... ;-).

[PATCH] Move EISA_bus

[PATCH] fix for hidden-task problem
It's bad to make (CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_DETACHED) tasks
be _completely_ hidden. Resource consumption is hard
to track down if a user can hide a task from /bin/ps.
This patch, supported by the procps-3.1.13 release,
gives admins the ability to search for such tasks.
The top-level /proc directory remains uncontaminated.

[PNP] remove DMA 0 restrictions
The original argument for blocking DMA 0 was to avoid conflicts with
"memory refresh" but such configurations are only found on very old
8-bit systems that are likely not supported by the linux kernel.
This patch allows dma 0 to be assigned to PnP devices by default. If
for whatever reason dma 0 cannot be used, one can avoid allocating it
by setting the pnp_reserve_dma= kernel parameter.

[PCMCIA] Fix deadlocks caused between PCMCIA card fix and device model
The problem was that the semaphore which prevents ds interfering with
the sleepy card initialisation (skt_sem in pccardd) is blocking insmod
of the socket driver. However, the socket driver is being called with
the PCI bus semaphore held by the driver model.
pccardd in turn discovered a cardbus card (with skt_sem held), so it
is trying to add the PCI devices to the PCI bus, and this requires the
driver model to grab the PCI bus semaphore, but its already locked.
We move the class device register into pccardd so we get a natural
ordering between the ds socket initialisation and pccardd trying to
detect inserted cards.
We also fix a potential use-after-free caused by rmmod'ing the socket
driver before ds has shut down.

[PATCH] real-time enhanced page allocator and throttling
From: Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>
- Let real-time tasks dip further into the reserves than usual in
__alloc_pages(). There are a lot of ways to special case this. This
patch just cuts z->pages_low in half, before doing the incremental min
thing, for real-time tasks. I do not do anything in the low memory slow
path. We can be a _lot_ more aggressive if we want. Right now, we just
give real-time tasks a little help.
- Never ever call balance_dirty_pages() on a real-time task. Where and
how exactly we handle this is up for debate. We could, for example,
special case real-time tasks inside balance_dirty_pages(). This would
allow us to perform some of the work (say, waking up pdflush) but not
other work (say, the active throttling). As it stands now, we do the
per-processor accounting in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() but we
never call balance_dirty_pages(). Lots of approaches work. What we want
to do is never engage the real-time task in forced writeback.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] Fix setpgid and threads
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
I'm resending my patch to fix this problem. To recap: every task_struct
has its own copy of the thread group's pgrp. Only the thread group
leader is allowed to change the tgrp's pgrp, but it only updates its own
copy of pgrp, while all the other threads in the tgrp use the old value
they inherited on creation.
This patch simply updates all the other thread's pgrp when the tgrp
leader changes pgrp. Ulrich has already expressed reservations about
this patch since it is (1) incomplete (it doesn't cover the case of
other ids which have similar problems), (2) racy (it doesn't synchronize
with other threads looking at the task pgrp, so they could see an
inconsistent view) and (3) slow (it takes linear time with respect to
the number of threads in the tgrp).
My reaction is that (1) it fixes the actual bug I'm encountering in a
real program. (2) doesn't really matter for pgrp, since it is mostly an
issue with respect to the terminal job-control code (which is even more
broken without this patch. Regarding (3), I think there are very few
programs which have a large number of threads which change process group
id on a regular basis (a heavily multi-threaded job-control shell?).
Ulrich also said he has a (proposed?) much better fix, which I've been
looking forward to. I'm submitting this patch as a stop-gap fix for a
real bug, and perhaps to prompt the improved patch.
An alternative fix, at least for pgrp, is to change all references to
->pgrp to group_leader->pgrp. This may be sufficient on its own, but it
would be a reasonably intrusive patch (I count 95 instances in 32 files
in the 2.6.0-test3-mm3 tree).

2) For autoloading the module by the alias, use MODULE_ALIAS mechanism.
3) From changelog of module-init-tools, looks like MODULE_ALIAS needs

[PATCH] scheduler infrastructure
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
the attached scheduler patch (against test2-mm2) adds the scheduling
infrastructure items discussed on lkml. I got good feedback - and while i
dont expect it to solve all problems, it does solve a number of bad ones:
- test_starve.c code from David Mosberger
- thud.c making the system unusuable due to unfairness
- fair/accurate sleep average based on a finegrained clock
- audio skipping way too easily
other changes in sched-test2-mm2-A3:
- ia64 sched_clock() code, from David Mosberger.
- migration thread startup without relying on implicit scheduling
behavior. While the current 2.6 code is correct (due to the cpu-up code
adding CPUs one by one), but it's also fragile - and this code cannot
be carried over into the 2.4 backports. So adding this method would
clean up the startup and would make it easier to have 2.4 backports.
and here's the original changelog for the scheduler changes:
- cycle accuracy (nanosec resolution) timekeeping within the scheduler.
This fixes a number of audio artifacts (skipping) i've reproduced. I
dont think we can get away without going cycle accuracy - reading the
cycle counter adds some overhead, but it's acceptable. The first
nanosec-accuracy patch was done by Mike Galbraith - this patch is
different but similar in nature. I went further in also changing the
sleep_avg to be of nanosec resolution.
- more finegrained timeslices: there's now a timeslice 'sub unit' of 50
usecs (TIMESLICE_GRANULARITY) - CPU hogs on the same priority level
will roundrobin with this unit. This change is intended to make gaming
latencies shorter.
- include scheduling latency in sleep bonus calculation. This change
extends the sleep-average calculation to the period of time a task
spends on the runqueue but doesnt get scheduled yet, right after
wakeup. Note that tasks that were preempted (ie. not woken up) and are
still on the runqueue do not get this benefit. This change closes one
of the last hole in the dynamic priority estimation, it should result
in interactive tasks getting more priority under heavy load. This
change also fixes the test-starve.c testcase from David Mosberger.
The TSC-based scheduler clock is disabled on ia32 NUMA platforms. (ie.
platforms that have unsynched TSC for sure.) Those platforms should provide
the proper code to rely on the TSC in a global way. (no such infrastructure
exists at the moment - the monotonic TSC-based clock doesnt deal with TSC
offsets either, as far as i can tell.)
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] sched_clock() for ppc, ppc64, x86_64 and sparc64
Ingo's CPU scheduler update (in -mm kernels) needs a new sched_clock()
function which returns nanoseconds.
The patch provides implementations for ppc, ppc64, x86_64 and sparc64.
The x86_64 version could have overflow issues, the calculation is done in
32bits only with an multiply. But I hope it's good enough for the scheduler
The ppc64 version needs scaling: it's only accurate for 1GHz CPUs.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] CPU scheduler balancing fix
From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>
The patch changes the imbalance required before a balance to 25% from 50% -
as the comments intend. It also changes a case where the balancing
wouldn't be done if the imbalance was >= 25% but only 1 task difference.
The downside of the second change is that one task may bounce from one cpu
to another for some loads. This will only bounce once every 200ms, so it
shouldn't be a big problem.
(Benchmarking results are basically a wash - SDET is increased maybe 0.5%)
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] CPU scheduler interactivity changes
From: Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org>
Interactivity scheduler tweaks on top of Ingo's A3 interactivity patch.
Interactive credit added to task struct to find truly interactive tasks and
treat them differently.
Extra #defines included as helpers for conversion to/from nanosecond timing,
to work out an average timeslice for nice 0 tasks, and the effective dynamic
priority bonuses that will be given to tasks.
MAX_SLEEP_AVG modified to change dynamic priority by one for a nice 0 task
sleeping or running for one full timeslice.
CREDIT_LIMIT is the number of times a task earns sleep_avg over MAX_SLEEP_AVG
before it is considered HIGH_CREDIT (truly interactive); and -CREDIT_LIMIT is
LOW_CREDIT
TIMESLICE GRANULARITY is modified to be more frequent for more
interactivetasks (10 ms for top 2 dynamic priorities and then halving each
priority belowthat) and less frequent per extra cpu.
JUST_INTERACTIVE_SLEEP logic created to be a sleep_avg consistent with giving
a task enough dynamic priority to remain on the active array.
Task preemption of equal priority tasks is dropped as requeuing with
TIMESLICE_GRANULARITY makes this unecessary.
Dynamic priority bonus simplified.
User tasks that sleep a long time and not waking from uninterruptible sleep
are sought and categorised as idle. Their sleep avg is limited in it's rise to
prevent them becoming high priority and suddenly turning into cpu hogs.
Bonus for sleeping is proportionately higher the lower the dynamic priority of
a task is; this allows for very rapid escalation to interactive status.
Tasks that are LOW_CREDIT are limited in rise per sleep to one priority level.
Non HIGH_CREDIT tasks waking from uninterruptible sleep are sought to detect
cpu hogs waiting on I/O and their sleep_avg rise is limited to just
interactive state to prevent cpu bound tasks from becoming interactive during
I/O wait.
Tasks that earn sleep_avg over MAX_SLEEP_AVG get interactive credits.
On runqueue bonus is not given to non HIGH_CREDIT tasks waking from
uninterruptible sleep.
Forked tasks and their parents get sleep_avg limited to the minimum necessary
to maintain their effective dynamic priority thus preventing repeated forking
from being a way to get highly interactive, but not penalise them noticably
otherwise.
CAN_MIGRATE_TASK cleaned up and modified to work with nanosecond timestamps.
Reverted Ingo's A3 Starvation limit change - it was making interactive tasks
suffer more under increasing load. If a cpu is grossly overloaded and
everyone is going to starve it may as well run interactive tasks
preferentially.
Task requeuing is limited to interactive tasks only (cpu bound tasks dont need
low latency and derive benefit from longer timeslices), and they must have at
least TIMESLICE_GRANULARITY remaining.
HIGH_CREDIT tasks get penalised less sleep_avg the more interactive they are
thus keeping them interactive for bursts but if they become sustained cpu hogs
they will slide increasingly rapidly down the dynamic priority scale.
Tasks that run out of sleep_avg, are still using up cpu time and are not high
or low credit yet get penalised interactive credits to determine LOW_CREDIT
tasks (cpu bound ones).

[PATCH] Move slab objects to the end of the real allocation
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
The real memory allocation is usually larger than the actual object size:
either due to L1 cache line padding, or due to page padding with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. Right now objects are placed to the beginning of
the real allocation, but to trigger bugs it's better to move objects to the
end of the real allocation: that way accesses behind the end of the
allocation have a larger chance of hitting the (unmapped) next page. The
attached patch moves the objects to align them with the end of the real
allocation.
Actually it contains 4 seperate changes:
- Do not page-pad allocations that are <= SMP_CACHE_LINE_SIZE. This
crashes. Right now the limit is hardcoded to 128 bytes, but sooner or
later an arch will appear with 256 byte cache lines.
- cleanup: redzone bytes are not accessed with inline helper functions,
instead of magic offsets scattered throughout slab.c
- main change: move objects to the end of the allocation - trivial after
the cleanup.
- Print old redzone value if a redzone mismatch happens: This makes it
simpler to figure out what happened [single bit error, wrong redzone
code, overwritten]

[PATCH] allow x86 NUMA architecture detection to fail
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
As described in this bug: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653 , if
you enable Summit support and NUMA Discontigmem support but boot on a
non-Summit box, the kernel will fail to boot. The problem is that the
Summit code can not correctly get the NUMA memory configuration of a
flat box. The code to do that is in get_memcfg_numa_flat(), but it
never gets called.
This patch implements a fallback to the generic NUMA code in
get_memcfg_numa_flat() if the Summit detection fails. The patch also
adds the necessary bits to the Summit code so that it *knows* when it
fails.

[PATCH] fix incorrect argv[0] for init
From: Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>
When someone specifies "init=" to select an alternative binary to run

programs such as busybox that multiplex applications based on the value of
argv[0]. For example, even if you specify init=/bin/sh" on the kernel
command line, busybox will still receive "/sbin/init" as argv[0] and will
therefore run init rather than /bin/sh...

[PATCH] Summit sub-arch: Make logical IDs independent of BIOS numbering scheme
From: James Cleverdon <jamesclv@us.ibm.com>
In forthcoming IBM x445 systems, the physical APIC ID will not follow the
simple rule laid out by Intel and encoded into xapic_phys_to_log_apicid.
(The BIOS code that sets IDs doesn't work right above 16 CPUs if HT is turned
on, so for > 16-way the BIOS will disable HT and repack the physical CPUs
into APIC clusters.)
Anyway, it's a good idea to make the APIC code more independent of any
particular BIOS numbering scheme. This patch allocates logical IDs based on
how many CPUs have already been onlined in a particular APIC cluster.

From Manfred
While trying to figure out why sysv msg is around 30% slower than pipes for

[PATCH] NCR5380 timeout fix
From: Wagner_Volanin <fadinha.mail@terra.com.br>
I have an old Genius Colorpage-SP2 SCSI scanner. It is shipped with a
MS-PNR 8bit ISA non-pnp proprietary SCSI card from Microtek.
Although its chipset is a NCR53c400a, it wouldn't work with the appropriate
driver, always accusing timeout, whatever settings I passed to it.
Today I messed a little with the NCR5380.c file in drivers/scsi which is
included by the g_NCR5380 driver and I couldn't understand one thing:
Why the function NCR5380_poll_politely() returned the value 'r' on success
if this value should be '0' case everything went ok...
So I changed "return r;" to "return 0;" and after that my scanner worked
fine, and was easily detected by SANE, without a single error message. :)
I have not the time to delve into the problem further, but I wanted to
report this. I couldn't find any counter-effects caused by changing these
return values.

[PATCH] Incorrect value for SIGRTMAX
From: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>
I was having a problem with signals with POSIX timers, and it turns out
that the value of SIGRTMAX is incorrect. Remember that there is no
signal 0, so the signals should go from 1-_NSIG. However, SIGRTMAX is
defined as (_NSIG-1) in all architectures. The following patch fixes this.
This define is only used in drivers/usb/core/devio.c and
kernel/posix-timers.c, and both are incorrect without this fix. There's
also no check for zero in posix-timers.c, that fix is part of the diff.
Also, shouldn't do_sigaction() use this value instead of _NSIG? It's
not a big deal, but some architectures have different values for _NSIG
and SIGRTMAX.

the zoran kernel driver is called 'zoran.o' in its CVS (historical thing, I

[PATCH] knfsd: idempotent replay cache for OPEN state
This implements the idempotent replay cache need for NFSv4 OPEN state.
each state owner (open owner or lock owner) is required to store the
last sequence number mutating operation, and retransmit it when replayed
sequence number is presented for the operation.
I've implemented the cache as a static buffer of size 112 bytes
(NFSD4_REPLAY_ISIZE) which is large enough to hold the OPEN, the largest
of the sequence mutation operations. This implements the cache for
OPEN, OPEN_CONFIRM, OPEN_DOWNGRADE, and CLOSE. LOCK and UNLOCK will be
added when byte-range locking is done (soon!).

[PATCH] Minor K8 fix for oprofile
K8 can run with a 32bit kernel too. If that's the case we have to tell
user space about it. Remove the unneeded ifdef.
In that case the CPU is called "x86-64/hammer" even on 32bit. This is
not strictly true on i386, but it's the named used by the current
oprofile user space for K8 performance counters and it would complicate
things to use different names between 32bit and 64bit.

[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: reiserfs/procfs.c
fs/reiserfs/procfs.c made sane. It used to store dev_t of filesystem
in the proc_dir_entry->data (which is void *) and played very odd games after
that.
Switched to seq_file, stores pointer to superblock, uses sget() to
validate it, avoids use of dev_t completely.
<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: drm debugging printks

[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: XFS
sanitized dev_t use in debugging printks in XFS, switched their
bhash to use of struct block_device, added old_encode_dev() in XFS statfs()
(it had stored dev_t in ->fs_id[0])
<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: tty usage
tty->device had been used only in a couple of places and can be

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: NFS
NFS made dev_t-agnostic. Aside of minor fixes in debugging printks,
and adding old_encode_dev()/old_decode_dev(), the main part is in handling
of exports with large dev_t. New fhandle format introduced, fh_verify(),
fh_compose() and exports cache taught to deal with it. Format is used when
->s_dev of exported fs doesn't fit into 256:256; in that case we put major
and minor in separate words in fhandle; ->fh_fsid_type is set to 2.

[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: mknod()/ustat()
Changed sys_mknod() prototype to have unsigned int passed to it
instead of current dev_t. Added old_decode_dev() in sys_mknod() and
made sure that its callers are passing it old_encode_dev(<value>)
Switched sys_ustat() and its variants from dev_t to unsigned (and
added old_decode_dev()).
Took care of assignments to ROOT_DEV - again, old_decode_dev().
Late-boot search in devfs (call sys_newstat() and compare with
st_rdev) also updated.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] prepare for 32-bit dev_t: stat()
Added old_encode_dev() to assorted stat() variants.
Fixed bug in s390 emulation on s390x: stat64() should never truncate
UID and GID.
Ditto for i386 emulation on x86_64.
Replaced dev_t in various struct stat with explicit integer type.
Replaced __kernel_dev_t with __old_kernel_dev_t in dm-ioctl-v1.h
Now we are free to change dev_t in any way we want - on all boundaries
we have explicit conversions.
Took __kernel_dev_t definition to linux/types.h and changed it with
__u16. We are ready to proceed to 32bit now.
<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] 32-bit dev_t: internal use
Starting the conversion:
* internal dev_t made 32bit.
* new helpers - new_encode_dev(), new_decode_dev(), huge_encode_dev(),
huge_decode_dev(), new_valid_dev(). They do encoding/decoding of 32bit and
64bit values; for now huge_... are aliases for new_... and new_valid_dev()
is always true. We do 12:20 for 32bit; representation is compatible with
16bit one - we have major in bits 19--8 and minor in 31--20,7--0. That's
what the userland sees; internally we have (major << 20)|minor, of course.
* MKDEV(), MAJOR() and MINOR() updated.
* several places used to handle Missed'em'V dev_t (14:18 split)
manually; that stuff had been taken into common helpers.
Now we can start replacing old_... with new_... and huge_..., depending
on the width available. MKDEV() callers should (for now) make sure that major
and minor are within 12:20. That's what the next chunk will do.
<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] 32-bit dev_t: switch-over
Real conversion to 32bit dev_t. Expansion to:
* mknod() - 32
* newstat() - 32 on 64bit platforms
* stat64() - 32 on mips, 64 on everything else (mips has weird struct
stat64 and can't get more than 32 bits). Note that right now the difference
is purely theoretical - we don't have internal values above 32 bits, so
huge_... vs. new_... only marks the places where 64bit conversion will need
extra work.
* arch-dependent stat variants - depending on width available.
* ustat et.al. - 32
* filesystems that can handle 32 bits right now - 32
* ext2 and ext3 - 32, with large dev_t inodes having 0 in the first
element of i_data[] (where we store dev_t value for small device numbers) and
keeping the value in the second element.
* nfsd - 32; it can be driven to 64, but we'll get several issues with
NFSv2 support.
* RAID - 32
* devmapper - with v1 it's still 16 (nothing to do here), with v4 it's
64.
* loop - 64
* initramfs - 32
* do_mounts code - 32. Parts that scan devfs tree are using newstat()
on 64bit platforms and stat64() on the rest (IOW, the latest stat variant on
given platform).
* old_valid_dev()/new_valid_dev() added where needed (stat variants,
mostly - we fail with -EOVERFLOW if values do not fit).

[PATCH] USB: Memory Leaks on Error Paths of usb-midi
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: usb "ether" net gadget
Minor updates:
- Reduce memory utilization in two ways:
* Dynamically, by pre-allocating all the usb_request objects
that will be used; if the pre-allocated ones are in use,
then tx will throttle down. This behaves better under
heavy load.
* Statically, by pre-allocating fewer such requests in the
typical "no DMA queueing" case ... the best we can do is
make sure that when the next completion IRQ fires, the
controller already has a transfer ready. Having queues
deeper than two elements only helps if the CPU doesn't
need to start each transfer by hand (as with net2280).
- Diagnostics look more like other network driver diagnostics;
they use the network interface name.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: usb gadgetfs updates
Some small updates:
- Sometimes read requests can be satisfied directly from
the OUT fifo. This fixes a bug where the return code
from usb_ep_queue() overwrite the transfer status, which
in that case was set _before_ that call returned.
(Synchronous behavior; not the usual async completion.)
- In the same vein, usb_ep_dequeue() doesn't need to be
synchronous -- though so far most controller drivers
have implemented it that way. So drop the spinlock
before the wait_event() sleep.
- Some debug messages are more useful AFTER the event
than before.
- The only descriptor fetches user mode drivers will
need to handle are for string descriptors. Stall all
other requests, like ones for other-speed configs
on single-speed devices.

We can probably sysctl this thing, that way everyone gets what they want
probably...

[PATCH] mark devfs obsolete
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Richard hasn't touched it for about a year and since then only bugfixes and
my changes to the kernel interface went in. No one has stepped up to
maintain it and with udev we have a proper replacement now.
I will do some more work before 2.6 (mainly trying to implement Al's
refcounting scheme to avoid stale entries), but that's it.

[PATCH] add -Wdeclaration-after-statement
From: John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>

[PATCH] disallow utime{s}() on immutable or append-only files
From: Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net>
Currently Linux allows the use of the utime() and utimes() syscalls on
immutable or append-only files, this is incorrect.
utime{s}() is not supposed to work if you lack write access to a file,
in the case of an immutable file NOBODY has write access.
for an append-only file it only makes sense to be able to update its
time to present, not the past.
I have checked BSD, and they implement the behavior I propose, for
immutable files utime() and utimes() fail. for append-only files they
fail if the time argument is not NULL.

[PATCH] switch remaining serial drivers to initcalls

All drivers that compile on ppc with CONFIG_ISA set (= all but

drivers/char/Makefile needed to be reordered big time to keep
the intialization order the same.

[PATCH] Hugetlb FS quota accounting problem
From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
We found a problem in hugetlbfs file system quota when using huge page
via mmap. The mmap method in hugetlbfs_file_operation always takes
quota for every mmap even for pages that are already allocated on that
inode. This results in taxing the same hugepage multiple times and
causing mmap to fail on existing file when quota mistakenly runs out.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] make CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE mirror CONFIG_HUGETLBFS
At present you can set CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE and not CONFIG_HUGETLBFS, which
give the kernel low-level hugepage support, but no userspace API with which
to access it.
And with the recent hugetlbfs-accounting fix, the low-level code needs
functions which are in hugetlbfs, so CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=n,
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y doesn't even link.
So we flip things around: CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is set if CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is
set and CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is unset if CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is unset. The
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE option hence disappears from the per-arch configuration
menus.

[PATCH] setuid clearing fix
From: Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl
jpcartal@free.fr writes:
I noticed that contrary to what was happening with 2.4.x kernel, suid
root files don't loose their suid bit when they get overwritten by a
normal user (see example below)
Is this the intended behaviour or a bug ?
Example :
[root@localhost test]# chown root ~cartaljp/test/suid_test
[root@localhost test]# chmod 4775 ~cartaljp/test/suid_test
[root@localhost test]# exit
[cartaljp@localhost test]$ cp /bin/ls suid_test
[cartaljp@localhost test]$ ls -l
total 72
-rwsrwxr-x 1 root cartaljp 67668 Sep 19 07:56 suid_test <-
Suid bit is still set whereas with 2.4.x kernel it was reset.
Yes. Here 2.4 had the terrible code
mode = (inode->i_mode & S_IXGRP)*(S_ISGID/S_IXGRP) | S_ISUID;
while 2.6 does things via notify_change(). However, in 2.6 notify_change()
does not allow removal of the SUID bit because you are not owner of the
file :-). So, we have to convince inode_change_ok() to do it anyway.

[PATCH] remove CONFIG_SERIAL_21285_OLD

[PATCH] DAC960: remove redundant (and uninitialized)
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
this patch fixes a bug that appeared only on Alpha hardware with
DAC960 controllers. The Command->PciDevice structure member was
never initialized. This was passed to the pci scatter/gather functions.
This didn't cause a problem for x86 platforms because the scatter/gather
funtions never really used that information. Alpha platforms do use
that pointer.
The Command->PciDevice field was also redundant with the Controller->PCIDevice
field, which IS initialized properly. So, eliminating the redundant
structure member and substituting the Controller's member fixes the bug.

[PATCH] asm/softirq.h is dead
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Still three arches keep an unused copy around and quite a few places refer

Two of the two arches also include it in their _ksyms.c file, but given
that softirq.h only contains macros (which are in hardirq.c as well) that's
just a leftover as well.

[PATCH] SELinux leak fixes
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
I believe that the patch below fixes the legitimate leaks in the SELinux
code. In some cases, it rearranges the code (moving the allocation later
to reduce the need for further cleanup or linking the object into a
containing structure earlier so that the policydb_destroy will handle it
upon any subsequent errors).

Fix for typo in arch/mips/kernel/sysirix.c (spotted by Milton Miller)
<viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
[PATCH] 32-bit dev_t: md fallout
This fixes a NULL ptr dereference in md_probe() noted by Helge Hafting.
It even gets the things slightly better than they used to be, but
late-boot magic in md.c is certainly a mess. Oh, well...
It's _ugly_. md_probe() is misused there big way. The minimal fix is
to revert the cleanup in md_probe() - replace
int unit = *part;
with
int unit = MINOR(dev);
However, that is crap solution. The problem is that md_probe() is called
directly with bogus arguments - not only part is NULL (which triggers the
oops), but dev (which is supposed to be dev_t value) is actually mdidx(mddev).
Cleaner fix follows, but we really need to get the situation with gendisk
allocations into the sane shape there. Sigh...

[PATCH] Avoid /proc/{ioports,iomem} truncation
The current seq_file code for resource handling will truncate the output

So change that to instead traverse the resource tree one entry at a time
and have a real iterator, and clean it up a bit.

[PATCH] USB: usb_set_configuration() rework (v2)
This is the latest update of the patch resolving bugs in how device
configurations were reflected in the driver model. It addresses
the last significant problems I know about in that area.
- Moves code around so that usb_set_configuration() updates sysfs
to reflect the current configuration. Previously, that only
worked right for the initial configuration chosen by khubd.
* Previous interfaces are inaccessible. The code to handle this
moved from usb_disconnect() into usb_disable_device(), which
is now called both on disconnect and set_configuration paths.
* There are new interfaces. The code to handle this moved
from usb_new_device() into usb_set_configuration().
* Resolves a double-refcount problem with USB interfaces,
by not getting the extra reference in the first place
and switching to use device_del() to disable interfaces.
* Comments a similar double-refcount problem with usb
devices (not interfaces).
Its kerneldoc is updated appropriately. The main point being
that calling usb_set_configuration() in driver probe() methods
is even more of a no-no, since it'll self-deadlock.
- Sysfs names for USB interfaces now include the configuation
number, so that user mode code can't get as easily confused.
Old style: "3-1:0" for configs 2 and 3 (interface zero).
New style: "3-1:2.0" for config 2, "3-3:3.0" for config 3.
- Moves usb_new_device() code around a bit, so that the device
is visible in sysfs before usb_set_configuration() is called.
(Before the devices for that config's interfaces appear.)
- Makes the bConfigurationValue be writable through sysfs, so
device configurations can be easily changed from user mode.
(Or devices can be de-configured, by setting config 0.)
There are devices that can benefit from this functionality;
notably, cdc-acm modems need it right now, so that they can
be told to use the non-proprietary configuration. (Since
the old "change config in probe callback" trick won't work.)

[PATCH] PROT_GROWSDOWN/PROT_GROWSUP flags for mprotect
There is currently no clean and efficient way to apply mprotect to all of a
program's stack, i.e. to the moving edge of a GROWSDOWN or GROWSUP mapping.
Some processes want to change these protections, particularly to set or
clear the PROT_EXEC bits on stack space. As it is, an mprotect done to
cover the precise edge page of the mapping will have the desired effect of
changing the protection for existing pages and having that new protection
carried over to new pages grown later. But there is no very reasonable way
of ascertaining where the edge of the mapping is if it might have grown in
the past beyond the usage at the moment. An mprotect call that doesn't
cover the edge page splits the mapping and doesn't do what we need.
This patch adds flags that can be OR'd into the protection bits in an
mprotect system call. PROT_GROWSDOWN means the memory lies in a GROWSDOWN
mapping and the start address of the region to be changed should be
extended down to the current low page of that mapping. Similarly,
PROT_GROWSUP means the pages lie in a GROWSUP mapping and the length of the
region to be changed should be extended up to include its highest page.
These flags also explicitly request the (already implicit) behavior that
the protection change applied to the lowest/highest page of a growing
mapping is passed on to new pages grown later. There are no other changes
to the mprotect behavior; in particular, the boundary in the non-growing
direction (the end address computed from the start+len arguments in the
GROWSDOWN case, and the start argument in the GROWSUP case) is as given by
the arguments to the system call. This is desireable in the use of this
call by a process on its stack, so it can change the protections of the
growing mapping used for program stack distinctly from the protections on
the arguments, environment, and AT_* data from exec.

[PATCH] change sdev.access_count to an atomic_t
For various reasons (e.g. the .my_devices lockdown) it's undesirable
to have scsi_device_{get,put} blocking. Change .access_count to an
atomic_t to avoid the driver model r/w semaphore.
Sideeffects:
- possible module reference leak in scsi_device_get when get_device
fails fixes.
- the access_count attribute is gone. We already have this exposed
to userspace in too many places given that this whole second
refcount will go away once Al fixes the block layer.

[PATCH] Fix up initialisation of md devices
Previously, we called blk_queue_make_request(q,mddev->pers->make_request)
*before* calling mddev->pers->run(), but this left a hole in which the
device could be accessed before it was initialised.
So we moved blk_queue_make_request to *after* ->pers->run(), but now some
of the initialisation done in ->run is over-written by blk_queue_make_request(),
particularly limits like ->max_sectors.
So now, we just open-code the one line of blk_queue_make_request that we
need at this point.
All the rest has been done by a separate called to blk_queue_make_request,
either when the mddev was first allocated, or when a previous incarnation
of the device was stopped.
This fixes "bio too big" error that occured due to max_sectors being too large.

[PATCH] fix AS hangs
Clears the next_arq cache if a request is repositioned and added as an alias
behind another. Should fix the BUGs which Mary Edie Meredith has been
reporting.
Also, fixes a few random (but harmless) cases where last_merge was being set
and causing warnings.
When 2 requests are merged, and one is thrown away, move its alias list onto
the merged request! This is likely to be the cause of Mary's hangs.

[PATCH] fix AS crappy performance
A while ago some guy complained that his server connections / sec was
way down due to AS. The server would fork a process which would then read
some tiny bit of random data and hang around for a while doing nothing.
This defeated all AS's heuristics, and due to a new process being a good
anticipation candidate by default, his performance went bad.
The fix was just to treat new processes as being unsuitable for
anticipation. Fixed. Unfortunately ls, cat, grep, small programs
starting up, find | xargs, etc only submit a couple of requests, and they
really want anticipation to be on.
This patch keeps a simple goodness value per queue based on how successful
anticipation has been for new processes.

[PATCH] ia64: simplify and speedup SN2 dma mapping
Currently the the SN2 dma mapping code uses a file systen lookup (cat /r/napali/tmp/p10 |diffstat -p1) to
find the operation vector for the underlying dma mapping implementation.
But not only there is exactly one of those implementation, also data
structures from this lowlevel driver are used in the actual Linux dma
mapping routines and quite a few assumption are made about it. So let's
just call directly in the lowlevel code and give up this utter bullshit.

fed through Lindent and dead codepathes eliminated.

[PATCH] ia64: simplify SN2 interrupt allocation
Same issues as the dma mapping code, but as SN2 interrupt handling is
totally static and all irqs are allocated on bootup an never freed it's

I really wonder what someone has to smoke to call a that expensive
dispatcher just to cast the data structure back to the lowlevel one
directly afterwards...

[PATCH] fix kernel BUG using multipath
Thanks Matt and Jens for the debug help on the multipath problem.
This solves the problem and makes multipath work properly.
There are two types of "flags" that are used in a block io request,
bi_flags, and bi_rw. bi_flags is used for flags to the block level
code, and bi_rw is used for flags to the low level device drivers.
The code in the multipath driver used the wrong flag in the wrong field.
In this case, the flag FASTFAIL (value 3) was being set to the bi_flags
field. FASTFAIL is a hint to the low level driver that it should try to
fail out quickly. Unfortunately, the value 3 is also BIO_SEG_VALID,
which is a flag to the block subsystem that the segments shouldn't be
recalculated. The result was that the wrong field was set, telling the
block layer not to recalculate the segments resulting in phys and hw
segments of 0. Not good.

[PATCH] GCC 3.3.x/3.4 compatiblity fix in include/linux/init.h
GCC 3.4 miscompiles the kernel because it silently optimizes away
data placed in the .init.setup section by the __setup() macro.
__attribute__((unused)) does only avoid the warning, but doesn't
mark the data as being used.
Since GCC 3.3, __attribute__((used)) should be applied to such
variables. The __attribute_used__ macro from linux/compiler.h already
takes care of compiler differences for us.
In this patch, I've gone a step further and proactively fixed that in
all places.

store a pointer to device in the proc entry, and retrieve
it from the information saved by single_open.
Formatting and other behaviours are retained.

self deadlocks on the channel lock.

reuse the same irq flags variable - ouch.
