      [PATCH] defxx: Maintenance + DMA API fixes · 8df07b49
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
       Having necessary resources, I've decided to take over the maintenance of
      the defxx driver for the PDQ-based family of DEC FDDI controllers (the
      DEFEA for EISA and the DEFPA for PCI are the models currently handled).
      
      I've talked to Larry, the original author and the last maintainer of the
      code, and he's said he'd be happy about it.  He's asked me to update his
      long-outdated contact information.
      
      Here is a patch to update the driver to the PCI version of the DMA API.
      
      The patch includes appropriate status and contact information updates.

      [PATCH] initialise page->private · c987cb10
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>
      
      XFS wants to use page->private as a bitmap of uptodate indicators for
      sub-page-sized blocks (which is one of the things ->provate was intended
      for).
      
      But someone needs to initialise ->private somewhere.  best to do it in the
      page allocator, so the zeroness of a new page's ->private becomes a
      system-wide thing.

      [PATCH] mtrr race fix · 93ecfc23
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>
      
      I've found a race in the mtrr ipi_handler() and set_mtrr() functions.
      
      Basically the server, set_mtrr() does the following:
      
        1.1 initialize a flag
        1.2 send ipi
        1.3 waits for all cpus to check in
        1.4 toggle flag
        1.5 do stuff
        1.6 wait for all cpus to check out
        1.7 toggle flag again
        1.8 return
      
      While the clients, running ipi_handler() do the following:
      
        2.1 check in
        2.2 wait for flag
        2.3 do stuff
        2.4 check out
        2.5 wait for flag
        2.6 return
      
      The problem is the flag is on the servers stack! So if 1.7 and 1.8
      executes before 2.5 happens, the client's pointer to the flag becomes
      invalid (likely overwritten) which causes the client to never see the
      flag change, hanging the box.
      
      The patch fixes that by adding a final synchronisation step in which the
      controlling CPU waits for all the IPI'ed CPUs to complete.

      [PATCH] declare struct irq_desc · 145c67ca
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org>
      
      ia64_mv_irq_desc returns a 'struct irq_desc', which had a forward declaration
      but did not actually exist.  We're currently using a silly anonymous struct
      typedefed to irq_desc_t.
      
      Now add the structure name as well.

      [PATCH] itimer resolution and rounding fixes · 1b70d78f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: george anzinger <george@mvista.com>
      
      a) Fixes bug 858 (http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858)
      
         The problem was caused by round off error in calculating the correct
         jiffies value in micro seconds to do the round up to jiffies.  The fix
         is to do the round up AFTER conversion to jiffies, rather than before.
         This only affected the timeval to jiffies calculation.
      
      b) Changed the scale values to get the highest possible precision short
         of going to full 64-bit math.  This is particularly useful in the
         scaling of the seconds part of time.  The code now computes a trial
         value at compile time and adjusts the scaling if the result is less than
         32 bits.
      
      c) Adds comments to time.h to remove (I hope) ALL the confusion that
         this file use to generate.

      [PATCH] Add do_setitimer prototype to linux/time.h · 835980c4
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au>
      
      Currently, do_setitimer() is used in several files, but doesn't appear
      in any header.  Thus its declaration is repeated in some files, and
      its use causes a warning in others (because there is no declaration
      present).
      
      This patch:
           -- adds a couple of declarations to linux/times.h
           -- removes the (now duplicate) declarations from other files.

      [PATCH] fix free_all_bootmem_core for virtual memmap · 767aa962
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: jbarnes@sgi.com (Jesse Barnes)
      
      Currently, free_all_bootmem_core() assumes that the bdata for a given
      node will begin where the node's memory map begins.  This isn't
      necessarily true on machines that use a virtual memory map (e.g. ia64
      discontig machines), so we fix page to point to the first actual page of
      RAM on the node, which _does_ contain the bdata struct.

      [PATCH] might_sleep() checks for x86 usercopy functions · 4bca8b2e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
      
      This only checks in the non-__ versions, as those are occassionally
      called inside things like kmap_atomic pairs which take a spinlock in
      with highmem. It's all conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP
      (which isn't quite the right name) so there's no overhead for normal
      builds.

      [PATCH] move_one_page() atomicity fix · 8a8f9d8e
      Andrew Morton authored
      move_one_page() is awkward.  It grabs an atomic_kmap of the source pte
      (because it needs to know if there's really a page there) and then it needs
      to allocate a pte for the dest.  But it cannot allocate the dest pte while
      holding the src's atomic kmap.
      
      So it performs this little dance peeking at pagetables to predict if
      alloc_one_pte_map() might need to perform a pte page allocation.
      
      When I wrote this code I made it conditional on CONFIG_HIGHPTE.  But that was
      bogus: even in the !CONFIG_HIGHPTE case, get_one_pte_map_nested() will run
      atomic_kmap() against the pte page, which disables preemption.
      
      Net effect: with CONFIG_HIGHMEM && !CONFIG_HIGHPTE we can end up performing a
      GFP_KERNEL pte page allocation while preemption is disabled.  It triggers a
      might_sleep() warning and indeed is buggy.
      
      So the patch removes the conditionality: even in the !CONFIG_HIGHPTE case we
      still do the pagetable peek and drop the kmap if necessary.
      
      (Arguably, we shouldn't be performing the atomic_kmap() at all if
      !CONFIG_HIGHPTE: all it does is a pointless preemption disable).
      
      (Arguably, kmap_atomic() should not be disabling preemption if the target
      page is not highmem.  But we're doing it anyway at present for consistency
      (ie: debug coverage) and because the filemap.c pagecache copying functions
      rely on kmap_atomic() disabling do_no_page() for all pages: see
      do_no_page()'s use of in_atomic()).

      [PATCH] reiserfs: fix savelinks on bigendian arches · 3491b2bc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
      
      This small patch fixes a savelinks problem on bigendian platforms, where
      savelinks were not working at all because of incorrect cpu->disk endianness
      conversion.
      
      Savelinks are used on reiserfs to remember "truncate" and "unlink" events
      so that if crash happens in the middle of truncate/unlink, we do not endup
      with lost or half truncated files.

      [PATCH] dm: 64 bit ioctl fixes · 35a4a8e8
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Joe Thornber <thornber@sistina.com>
      
      Update the ioctl32 handlers for the 64-bit architectures to recognize
      the new Device-Mapper version 4 ioctls. The version 1 ioctls are still
      there.  If/When the version 1 ioctls are removed, these same files
      will need to be updated again.
      
      I have been unable to test this patch yet, since I have not had any
      luck getting 2.6.0-test2 to compile on my ppc64 box (not a dm-related
      problem).  But the patch is pretty trivial, so I'm pretty confident it
      will work. If anyone else can test this (on mips64, sparc64, parisc,
      or x86-64), let me know if you have any problems.  [Kevin Corry]
