If we - shut down a clean array, - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing - make some changes - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean', the event count on the superblock of included drives will be the same as that of the removed drives. So adding the removed drive back in will cause it to be included with no resync. To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case where updating-backwards is valuable. Signed-off-by:

Here's updated documentation for the relay interface, rewritten to match the relayfs->relay changes. It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the process. It includes the changes to relayfs.txt previously posted by Randy Dunlap, thanks for those. The relay-apps examples have also been updated to match, and can be found on the sourceforge relayfs website. Signed-off-by:

1) When we allocated last fragment in ufs_truncate, we read page, check if block mapped to address, and if not trying to allocate it. This is wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this happened because of "block map" function not checked allocated fragment or not, it just take address of the first fragment in the block, add offset of fragment and return result, this is correct behaviour in almost all situation except call from ufs_truncate. 2) Almost all implementation of UFS, which I can investigate have such "defect": if you have full disk, and try truncate file, for example 3GB to 2MB, and have hole in this region, truncate return -ENOSPC. I tried evade from this problem, but "block allocation" algorithm is tied to right value of i_lastfrag, and fix of this corner case may slow down of ordinaries scenarios, so this patch makes behavior of "truncate" operations similar to what other UFS implementations do.

On UFS, this scenario: open(O_TRUNC) lseek(1024 * 1024 * 80) write("A") lseek(1024 * 2) write("A") may cause access to invalid address. This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way in block allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4. We use construction like this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to direct blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements, and lastfrag may have value for example 40000. Also this patch fixes related to handling such scenario issues, wrong zeroing metadata, in case of block(not fragment) allocation, and wrong goal calculation, when we allocate block Signed-off-by: -

To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no block reservation. Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for the initial goal block group in this case. The patch fixes this. Signed-off-by:

futex_find_get_task: if (p->state == EXIT_ZOMBIE || p->exit_state == EXIT_ZOMBIE) return NULL; I can't understand this. First, p->state can't be EXIT_ZOMBIE. The ->exit_state check looks strange too. Sub-threads or tasks whose ->parent ignores SIGCHLD go directly to EXIT_DEAD state (I am ignoring a ptrace case). Why EXIT_DEAD tasks should be ok? Yes, EXIT_ZOMBIE is more important (a task may stay zombie for a long time), but this doesn't mean we should explicitely ignore other EXIT_XXX states. Signed-off-by:

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character. But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested) patch: Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure). Signed-off-by:

I wish I was happier about this patch. It'll serve as a placeholder for the moment. I'm still trying to get a G550 working in order to even reproduce the problem this patch introduces. I find that the G450 has jitter even without this patch, so it won't show me what the patch changed. At this point, I'll continue trying to get the G550 to work, and in parallel work with the G450 to work out the kinks. The patch is below. Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on the G550, at least on x86 architectures. Signed-off-by:

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is not endianess independent in the original code. After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this lock fixed the problem. Alan sayeth: Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for neatness. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

Ignore the return value of early_init_acpi(), as it can give false error messages. If there is something really wrong, then register_driver will fail cleanly with EINVAL later. [ background: modprobe acpi-cpufreq on systems not capable of speed-scaling started failing with 'invalid argument', where previously it would only ever -ENODEV I'm not 100% happy with the solution. It'd be better to handle failure properly, but this is a low-impact change for 2.6.18 We can always revisit doing this better in .19 --davej.] Signed-off-by:

sched_setscheduler() looks at ->signal->rlim[]. It is unsafe do dereference ->signal unless tasklist_lock or ->siglock is held (or p == current). We pin the task structure, but this can't prevent from release_task()->__exit_signal() which sets ->signal = NULL. Restore tasklist_lock across the setscheduler call. Signed-off-by:

On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid, we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat /dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates that this problem has been around even before. So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a deadlock. I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git (2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on 2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a stable system.

This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342. CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss. The performance was verified against: http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters: Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%. This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research properly. I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2 msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch at around 30 Mbit/s. Signed off by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by:

TCP over IPV6 would incorrectly inherit the GSO settings. This would cause kernel to send Tcp Segmentation Offload packets for IPV6 data to devices that can't handle it. It caused the sky2 driver to lock http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7050 and the e1000 would generate bogus packets. I can't blame the hardware for gagging if the upper layers feed it garbage. This was a new bug in 2.6.18 introduced with GSO support. Signed-off-by:

The existing unusual_devs entry for the UCR-61S2B appears to have too wide a revision range. It matches at least one device that doesn't respond to the initialization sequence. Perhaps the sequence needs to be updated, or perhaps something else can be done. For now, this patch (as764) restricts the range to include only the revision mentioned in the original comment.
