Various symptoms depending on the .config options: - the card stops working after some (short) time - the card does not work at all - the card disappears (nothing in lspci/dmesg) A real power-off is needed to recover the card.

The 8168c and the 8100e choke on it. I have not seen an indication nor received a report that the TBI is being actively used on the remaining 8168b and 8110. Let's disable it for now until someone complains.

This patch adds LAN91C111 ethernet interface support for zylonite (a.k.a Marvell's PXA3xx Development Platform) with smc91x driver. It would be better if a patch would support zylonite along with all other PXA boards with a single binary of smc91x driver, but it looks quite difficult for the moment, so ugly #ifdef is still used here.

The PCI AER support may not work for a couple of reasons. It may not be configured into the kernel or there may be a BIOS bug that prevents MMCONFIG from working. If MMCONFIG doesn't work then the PCI registers that control AER will not be accessible via pci_read_config functions; luckly there is another window to access PCI space in the device, so use that.

compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the futex entry in userspace as follows: (void __user *)entry + futex_offset 'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and 'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32'). Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset. Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before adding it to 'entry'. This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the userspace load in handle_futex_death(). Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too. Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use addresses with the top 32-bit clear. Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death(): 1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT 2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds 3) goto #1 I want to thank Bernd Zeimetz, Josip Rodin, and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto for their tireless efforts helping me track down this bug.

The old NO_IRQ define some platforms had was long ago declared obsolete and wrong. FRV should therefore not be re-introducing this, especially as IRQs are usually unsigned in the kernel. The "no IRQ" case is defined to be zero and Linus made this rather clear at the time. arch/frv shows no dependancy on this but it might show up driver fixes needing doing I guess Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Sukadev Bhattiprolu reported a kernel crash with control groups. There are couple of problems discovered by Suka's test: - The test requires the cgroup filesystem to be mounted with atleast the cpu and ns options (i.e both namespace and cpu controllers are active in the same hierarchy). # mkdir /dev/cpuctl # mount -t cgroup -ocpu,ns none cpuctl (or simply) # mount -t cgroup none cpuctl -> Will activate all controllers in same hierarchy. - The test invokes clone() with CLONE_NEWNS set. This causes a a new child to be created, also a new group (do_fork->copy_namespaces->ns_cgroup_clone-> cgroup_clone) and the child is attached to the new group (cgroup_clone-> attach_task->sched_move_task). At this point in time, the child's scheduler related fields are uninitialized (including its on_rq field, which it has inherited from parent). As a result sched_move_task thinks its on runqueue, when it isn't. As a solution to this problem, I moved sched_fork() call, which initializes scheduler related fields on a new task, before copy_namespaces(). I am not sure though whether moving up will cause other side-effects. Do you see any issue? - The second problem exposed by this test is that task_new_fair() assumes that parent and child will be part of the same group (which needn't be as this test shows). As a result, cfs_rq->curr can be NULL for the child. The solution is to test for curr pointer being NULL in task_new_fair(). With the patch below, I could run ns_exec() fine w/o a crash.

-
Ingo Molnar authored
PREEMPT_RESTRICT was a method aimed at reducing the amount of wakeup related preemption. It has a disadvantage though, it can prevent legitimate wakeups if a task is 'unlucky' to be hit too early by a tick that clears peer_preempt. Now that the wakeup preemption has been cleaned up we dont seem to have excessive preemptions anymore, so this feature can be turned off.
