which tells us if C2 is valid for UP-only, or SMP. As there is no separate bit for C3, use P_LVL2_UP bit to cover both C2 and C3. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5165 Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi<venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> (cherry picked from 28b86b368af3944eb383078fc5797caf2dc8ce44 commit)

Setting irq affinity stops working when MSI is enabled. With MSI, move_irq is empty, so we can't change irq affinity. It appears a typo in Ashok's original commit for this issue.

Access to a journaled HFS+ volume is not officially supported under Linux, so mount such a volume read-only, but users can override this behaviour using the "force" mount option. The minimum requirement to relax this check is to at least check that the journal is empty and so nothing needs to be replayed to make sure the volume is consistent.

If an external device is used for a journal, by default it will use the entire device. The reiserfs journal code allocates structures per journal block when it mounts the file system. If the journal device is too large, and memory cannot be allocated for the structures, it will continue and ultimately panic when it can't pull one off the free list. This patch handles the allocation failure gracefully and prints an error message at mount time. Changes: Updated error message to be more descriptive to the user.

I recently discovered a bug on PPC which causes the floating point registers to get corrupted when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. The problem occurred while running a multi threaded Java application that does floating point. The problem could be reproduced in anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. With the patch I have included below it ran for over a week without failure.

set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang). This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to hugepages.

The uid_t and gid_t fields appear to present a 32/64-bit userspace/kernel problem for some archs. This patch addresses the problem by fixing the size to the largest size for uid_t/gid_t used in the kernel. This preserves the total size of the event structure while ensuring that the layouts of the ID change event match in 32 and 64-bit kernels and applications.

This fixes a bug noticed by Paolo Galtieri and fixed for ARCH=ppc in the previous commit (ppc: fix floating point register corruption). This fixes the arch/powerpc code by adding preempt_disable/enable, and also cleans it up a bit by pulling out the code that discards any lazily-switched CPU register state into a new function, rather than having that code repeated in three places.

the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially helping gcc a bit with optimisations.

The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory. It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB. It wastes memory that could be better used. It also makes the netstat command slow because reading /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table. The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes. It seems that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long time. I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger fraction of memory for systems with more memory. While systems with really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table. The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash. tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters- bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket) numentries=thash_entries scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT) limit=0 On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction of the total memory on systems with larger memory. The threshold size for a i386 system is 512MB. For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the threshold is 2GB. For smaller memory systems- On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15 On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13 For larger memory systems- On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13 On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11 For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case. The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of total memory. In alloc_large_system_hash- | numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages; | numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1; | numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT; | numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT; At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the nearest megabyte boundary. | /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */ | if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT) | numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT); | else | numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale); On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of bytes of total memory. On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory. | log2qty = long_log2(numentries); | | do { | size = bucketsize << log2qty; bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded down to a power of two. On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory. On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory. For smaller systems the results are On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory. On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory. The large page effect can be removed by just replacing the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to alloc_large_system_hash. That makes them more like the other uses of that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use copy_user_highpage directly instead of cow_user_page in do_no_page: in the immediately following page_cache_release, and elsewhere, it is assuming that new_page is normal.
