[IPV6]: /proc/net/anycast6 unbalanced inet6_dev refcnt From: David Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Reading /proc/net/anycast6 when there is no anycast address on an interface results in an ever-increasing inet6_dev reference count, as well as a reference to the netdevice you can't get rid of.

[IPV6]: anycast refcnt fix This patch fixes a bug in Linux IPv6 stack which caused anycast address to be added to a device prior DAD has been completed. This led to incorrect reference count which resulted in infinite wait for unregister_netdevice completion on interface removal. Signed-off-by:

[SPARC64]: Fix PCI interrupts on E450 et al. When the PCI controller OBP node lacks an interrupt-map and interrupt-map-mask property, we need to form the INO by hand. The PCI swizzle logic was not doing that properly. This was a regression added by the of_device code. Signed-off-by:

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW). In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as "maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code. The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts (from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in reality, it should always be very close to $n$. The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled. For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled, it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the PMU registers are "frozen" forever. [This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off. -- paulus.] From: Livio Soares <livio@eecg.toronto.edu> Signed-off-by:

mmc: Power quirk for ENE controllers Support for these devices was broken for 2.6.18-rc1 and later by commit 146ad66e, which added voltage level support. This restores the previous behaviour for these devices by ensuring that when the voltage is changed, only one write to set the voltage is performed. It may be that both writes are needed if the voltage is being changed between two non-zero values or that it's safe to ensure that only one write is done if the hardware only supports one voltage; I don't know whether either is the case nor can I test since I have only the one SD reader (1524:0550), and it supports just the one voltage.

A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array had enough room. maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents were lost. This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to ensure that the proper elements are resent. This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum. Signed-off-by:

Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666, and mkdir creates directories as 0777. This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does, unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts. We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test); but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs). Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support. Signed-off-by:

sata_sil used to trigger HSM error if IRQ occurs during polling command. This didn't matter because polling wasn't used in sata_sil. However, as of 2.6.20, all IDENTIFYs are performed by polling and device detection sometimes fails due to spurious IRQ. This patch makes sata_sil ignore and clear spurious IRQ while executing commands by polling. This fixes bug#7996 and IMHO should also be included in -stable. Signed-off-by:

Problem description at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8048 Commit b18ec803 [PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers. The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was scheduled away. Signed-off-by:

Rework the cx23416 firmware loader so that it longer requires the firmware size to be a multiple of 8KB. Until recently all cx2341x firmware images were exactly 256KB, but newer firmware is larger than that and also appears to have arbitrary size. We still must check against a multiple of 4 bytes (because the cx23416 itself uses a 32 bit word size). This fix is already in the upstream driver source and has proven itself there; this is a backport for the 2.6.20.y kernel series. (backported from commit 90060d32) Signed-off-by:

There are two errors that can lead to recovery problems with raid10 when used in 'far' more (not the default). Due to a '>' instead of '>=' the wrong block is located which would result in garbage being written to some random location, quite possible outside the range of the device, causing the newly reconstructed device to fail. The device size calculation had some rounding errors (it didn't round when it should) and so recovery would go a few blocks too far which would again cause a write to a random block address and probably a device error. The code for working with device sizes was fairly confused and spread out, so this has been tided up a bit. Signed-off-by:

After updating several machines to 2.6.20, I can't boot anymore the single one of them that supports the NX bit and is configured as a 32-bit system. My understanding is that the VDSO changes in 2.6.20-rc7 were not fully cooked, in that with that config option enabled VDSO_SYM(x) now equals x, meaning that an address in the fixmap area is now being passed to apps via AT_SYSINFO. However, the page is mapped with PAGE_READONLY rather than PAGE_READONLY_EXEC. I'm not certain whether having app code go through the fixmap area is intended, but in case it is here is the simple patch that makes things work again.

TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd (32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested only). In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure that such situation would be handled very well at all by the receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct, scaled window. Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place. [ tcp_make_synack() has the same bug, and I've added a fix for that to this patch -DaveM ] Signed-off-by:

When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets. It currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY. If the socket is busy - i.e. if a request has arrived that has not yet been processes - svc_close_socket is not effective and the shutdown process spins. So create a new svc_force_close_socket which removes the SK_BUSY flag is set and then calls svc_close_socket. Also change some open-codes loops in svc_destroy to use list_for_each_entry_safe.
