Linus noticed a second bug and an uncleanliness: - we'd return on any instruction fetch fault - we'd use both the value of 16 and the PF_INSTR symbol which are the same and make no sense the cleanup nicely unifies this piece of logic. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real shared_info into its fixmap slot. That needs to happen once the general pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup has been done.

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones in one instuction. Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock. The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will be processed. This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner header in the payload to be protected. This causes a crash as the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second header. The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an inner IPv4 header. This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output function touches the inner header at all. All access is now done through the protocol-independent cb structure. Two new attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length and the IPv4 option length. They're filled in by the inner mode's output function.

fix the 3D performance drop reported at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328 fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead of expected WC. The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API. We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now, revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

we could call find_max_pfn() directly instead of setup_memory() to get max_pfn needed for mtrr trimming. otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated... [ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug which can hang in certain configs.

The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to build the RPC iovec page list. RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and associated page list. WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes, the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing. The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last context doesn't contain the iovec page list. Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects the last context for the RPC.

This reverts commit 8fa5913d, which caused various interesting problems for people, including wrong resource allocations. See for example bugzilla entry "2.6.25-rc2: ohci1394 problem (MMIO broken)" at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080 And Gary Hade says: "The same change had also exposed an issue reported by Paul Martin that has been causing an Oops while hotplugging ThinkPads to a ThinkPad Dock II. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/405 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9961 I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal change I totally agree that it should be reverted." The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in the transparent bridge sizing calculations. A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation" change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which actually resolves the original issue in a different manner. So, even if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it is no longer needed anyway."
