- tipar_open(): fix unsigned comparison - tipar_open(): don't permit NULL pardevice (probably unneeded given the above fix). - tipar_init_module(): handle the situation where parport_register_driver() failed to register any devices (parport_register_driver() drops the ->attach return value on the floor). This probably makes fixes #1 and #2 unneeded. - tipar_init_module(): fix various error-path resource leaks. Signed-off-by:

When the sclp interface takes very long to serve a request, the sclp core driver will report a failed request to the sclp tty driver even though the request is still being processed by the sclp interface. Eventually the sclp interface completes the request and updates some fields in the request buffer which leads to a corrupted tty pages list. The next time function sclp_tty_write_room is called, the corrupted list will be traversed, resulting in an oops. To avoid this remove the busy retry limit and increase retry intervals.

Lost a few hours debugging an early-bootup fault within printk itself, which manifested itself as a hard to debug early hang. This patch makes it much easier by printing out early faults via early_printk(), which function is a lot simpler than a full printk, and hence more likely to succeed in emergencies. (We do not recover from early faults anyway, so there's no loss from not having these messages in the normal printk buffer.) Signed-off-by:

This puts the variables and the way to get to reclaim_mapped in one block. And allows zone_reclaim or other things to skip the determination (maybe this whole block of code does not belong into refill_inactive_zone()?) Signed-off-by:

shrink_list() and refill_inactive() check all ptes pointing to a page for reference bits in order to decide if the page should be put on the active list. This is not necessary for zone_reclaim since we are only interested in removing unmapped pages. Skip the checks in both functions. Signed-off-by:

With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's `timeout' argument on return. We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_ round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks us to. The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which was passed in. The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return the new timeout value. (We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in time.h. But this code open-codes it all). Cc: "David S.

[description from AK] The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement option. Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter. Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode or no HPET at all. TBD needs a similar 32bit fix. Signed-off-by:

The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement fstatat64. This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64 the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what is done for the other stat syscalls as well. This patch might break some other archs (those which define __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed). The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64. Signed-off-by:

Serial drivers in general should not write uart_info->flags - they're private to serial_core. Serial drivers have no need to fiddle with tty->alt_speed, nor manipulate TTY_IO_ERROR in tty->flags. Fix the ioc4 serial driver for both these points by simply removing the offending code. Acked-by: pfg@sgi.com Signed-off-by: -

This adds some additional comments in order to help others figure out how exactly the code works. And fix a variable name. Also swap_page does need to ignore all reference bits when unmapping a page. Otherwise we may have to repeatedly unmap a frequently touched page. So change the try_to_unmap parameter to 1. Signed-off-by:

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().) This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt() (vma->vm_end - addr) < size addr == return address of shmat() size == shmsize, argments to shmget() size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end, which is aligned.

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive. b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory. I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug case. Should be OK.. I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing that.

We are setting up sources for building external modules like this: /usr/src/linux-obj> # create a .config file /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD oldconfig /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD prepare /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD scripts /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD clean After that, external modules can be built with: /usr/src/module> make -C /usr/src/linux-obj M=$PWD This fails for ppc32 because the `make clean' removes the arch/powerpc/include directory. This should be done in archmrproper instead of in archclean. Signed-off-by:

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see the similar issue even on other archs. One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But, the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel memory in case overlaps. Signed-off-by:

I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that it still isn't quite ready with his additions either). Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised similar concerns in my review). The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2 SMP+HT Xeon are as follows: | Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40 -----------+----------------+---------------------+--------------------- 2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470 +nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347 Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually measured that). We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.
