This patch implements CDRW packet writing as a kernel block device. Usage instructions are in the packet-writing.txt file. A hint: If you don't want to wait for a complete disc format, you can format just a part of the disc. For example: cdrwtool -d /dev/hdc -m 10240 This will format 10240 blocks, ie 20MB.

Nigel pointed out that the earlier patches contained attributions that are not present in this patch. The 2.4 patch contains: Nov 5 2001, Aug 8 2002. Modified by Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se> to support MMC-3 complaint DVD+RW units. and Nigel changed it to this in his 2.6 patch: Modified by Nigel Kukard <nkukard@lbsd.net> - support DVD+RW 2.4.x patch by Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se> The patch I sent you deleted most of the earlier work and moved the rest to cdrom.c, but the comments were not moved over, since the earlier authors didn't modify cdrom.c.

This patch fixes all the preempt-after-task->state-is-TASK_DEAD problems we had. Right now, the moment procfs does a down() that sleeps in proc_pid_flush() [it could] our TASK_DEAD state is zapped and we might be back to TASK_RUNNING to and we trigger this assert: schedule(); BUG(); /* Avoid "noreturn function does return". */ for (;;) ; I have split out TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD into a separate p->exit_state field, to allow the detaching of exit-signal/parent/wait-handling from descheduling a dead task. Dead-task freeing is done via PF_DEAD. Tested the patch on x86 SMP and UP, but all architectures should work fine. Signed-off-by:Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes an interaction between the numa=fake=<domains> feature, the domain setup code and cpu_siblings_map[]. The bug leads to a bootup crash when using numa=fake=2 on a 2-way/4-way SMP+HT box. When SCHED_SMT is turned on the domains-setup code relies on siblings not spanning multiple domains (which makes perfect sense). But numa=fake=2 creates an assymetric 1101/0010 splitup between CPUs, which results in two siblings being on different nodes. The patch adds a check_siblings_map() function that checks the sibling maps and fixes them up if they violate this rule. (it also prints a warning in that case.) The patch also turns SCHED_DOMAIN_DEBUG back on - had this been enabled we'd have noticed this bug much earlier.

Here's yet another version of a patch to implement per-arch SD_*_INITs. This follows the same basic idea of my last patch, but 1) defines an arch-specific SD_NODE_INIT for the 4 NUMA arches (i386, x86_64, IA64 & PPC64), 2) defines *default* SD_CPU_INIT & SD_SIBLING_INIT for *all* arches, with the possibility of them being overridden by simply defining an arch-specific version in include/asm/topology.h. The motivation behind the third version of this patch is that Martin feels that there should be no "default" NUMA initializer because NUMA characteristics are *very* arch/platform specific, and hence a "default" NUMA initializer can only lead to confusion. I agree with most of that, but don't quite see as much harm in having a default as he does. Nevertheless, to keep him quiet, I've run up this version of the patch. Martin, please run this through your magic test suite and make sure I didn't break anything trivial. Signed-off-by:

Problem: In the function try_to_wake_up(), when the runqueue's nr_uninterruptible field is decremented it's possible (on SMP systems) that the pointer no longer points to the runqueue that the task being woken was on when it went to sleep. This would cause the wrong runqueue's field to be decremented and the correct one tp remain unchanged. Fix: Save a pointer to the old runqueue at the beginning of the function and use it when decrementing nr_uninterruptible. Signed-off-by:

Still having some trouble with ia64 domain setup on the Altixes. Jesse hasn't had much time to look into it, and I'm lacking an Altix, so I'm not sure if this is right or not... Anyway, it again does the right thing on the NUMAQ, and fixes some real bugs, so can you include it please? * Increase SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN to 6 from 4 to better match Altix's topology. A setting of 4 will include this node, the other one in the brick, and the 2 nodes in the next closest brick, while 6 will catch 2 other bricks. Probably it could be increased even more. * Work correctly with sparse and not completely full node maps. * Nasty typo fixed in find_next_best_node: - val = node_distance(node, i); + val = node_distance(node, n); * Ensure all nodes are themselves a member of their numa balancing domain. This is more a precaution against creative implementations of node_distance.. but it makes the setup easier to verify without having to look at a table of node_distance's, which is possibly generated at runtime. So again, I'm not too sure if this will fix the Altix setup or not. But if you do a release, it will surely be less broken than it was before. Signed-off-by:

Allow sched domain setup to be overridden by arch code. This functionality is needed again. From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Builds of 2.6.9-rc1-mm5 ia64 NUMA configs fail, with many complaints that SD_NODE_INIT is defined twice, in asm/processor.h and linux/sched.h. I guess that the preprocessor conditionals were wrong when Nick added the per-arch override ability again of SD_NODE_INIT were wrong. At least this change lets me rebuild ia64 again. Signed-off-by:

Register a cpu hotplug notifier which reinitializes the scheduler domains hierarchy. The notifier temporarily attaches all running cpus to a "dummy" domain (like we currently do during boot) to avoid balancing. It then calls arch_init_sched_domains which rebuilds the "real" domains and reattaches the cpus to them. Also change __init attributes to __devinit where necessary. Signed-off-by:
Nathan Lynch <nathanl@austin.ibm.com> Alterations from Nick Piggin: * Detach all domains in CPU_UP|DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. Reinitialise and reattach in CPU_ONLINE|DEAD|UP_CANCELED. This ensures the domains as seen from the scheduler won't become out of synch with the cpu_online_map. * This allows us to remove runtime cpu_online verifications. Do that. * Dummy domains are __devinitdata. * Remove the hackery in arch_init_sched_domains to work around the fact that the domains used to work with cpu_possible maps, but node_to_cpumask returned a cpu_online map.

Add a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE hotplug CPU notifier. This is needed so we can dettach all sched-domains before a CPU goes down, thus we can build domains from online cpumasks, and not have to check for the possibility of a CPU coming up or going down. Signed-off-by:

The following patches properly intergrate sched domains and cpu hotplug (using Nathan's code), by having sched-domains *always* only represent online CPUs, and having hotplug notifier to keep them up to date. Then tackle Jesse's domain setup problem: the disjoint top-level domains were completely broken. The group-list builder thingy simply can't handle distinct sets of groups containing the same CPUs. The code is ugly and specific enough that I'm re-introducing the arch overridable domains. I doubt we'll get a proliferation of implementations, because the current generic code can do the job for everyone but SGI. I'd rather take a look at it again down the track if we need to rather than try to shoehorn this into the generic code. Nathan and I have tested the hotplug work. He's happy with it. I've tested the disjoint domain stuff (copied it to i386 for the test), and it does the right thing on the NUMAQ. I've asked Jesse to test it as well, but it should be fine - maybe just help me out and run a test compile on ia64 ;) This really gets sched domains into much better shape. Without further ado, the patches. This patch: Make a definition static and slightly sanitize ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

This patch allows ReiserFS to handle I/O errors in the journal (or journal flush) where it would have previously panicked. The new behavior is to mark the filesystem read-only, disallow new transactions to be started, and to allow existing transactions to complete (though not to commit). The resultant filesystem can be safely umounted, and checked via normal mechanisms. As it is a journaling filesystem, the filesystem itself will be in a similar state to the power being cut to the machine, once umounted. Signed-off-by:
