APM doesn't _need_ the PM_LEGACY junk, so remove it's dependancy from Kconfig, and ifdef the junk in the code. Whilst the ifdefs are ugly, when the legacy stuff gets ripped out so will the ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

Remove the unnecessary __attribute__((packed)) since the enum itself is packed and not the location of it in the structure. Signed-off-by:

Jan Blunck authored
Since version 4.1 the gcc is warning about ignored attributes. This patch is using the equivalent attribute on the struct instead of on each of the structure or union members. GCC Manual: "Specifying Attributes of Types packed This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies that each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the smallest integral type should be used. Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union members." Signed-off-by: -

Earlier fix removed unused phase, but that changed the values for other phases. Since these are exposed to userspace through ppdev, it is safer not to change them. Restore the unused phase value. Signed-off-by:

- remove unnecessary -ENOMEM assignments - return correct value when buf_check_size for second time in a buffer - handle failures when create_workqueue and kthread_create are called - use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset 0 - v9fs_str_copy and v9fs_str_compare were buggy, were used only in one place, correct the logic and move it to the place it is used.

v9fs_create doesn't manage correctly the fids when it is called to create a directory.. The fid created by the create 9P call (newfid) and the one created by walking to already created file (wfidno) are not used consistently. This patch cleans up the usage of newfid and wfidno. Signed-off-by:

Eric Van Hensbergen authored
If a 9pfs server crashes, v9fs_fd_close() is called. Subsequently, in cleaning up by performing a umount() on the FS that was provided by this server v9fs_fd_close() is called again, and uses the old, freed valus of trans->priv. This patch ensures that trans->priv can be freed only once, otherwise this function bails early. Signed-off-by:

PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP} is actually arch specific, for now, and the current allocated number clashes with a ptrace code of frv, i.e. PTRACE_GETFDPIC.

Reduce the size of the pageframe for NR_CPUS>4, CONFIG_PREEMPT back to the minimal size by unionising both ->private and ->mapping with the pagetable lock. It uses an anonymous struct and hence requires gcc-3.x. Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by:

Reorder members of the kiocb structure to make sync kiocb setup faster. By setting the elements sequentially, the write combining buffers on the CPU are able to combine the writes into a single burst, which results in fewer cache cycles being consumed, freeing them up for other code. This results in a 10-20KB/s[*] increase on the bw_unix part of LMbench on my test system. * The improvement varies based on what other patches are in the system, as there are a number of bottlenecks, so this number is not absolutely accurate.

Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests. This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write paths. The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or 64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or uncacheable). This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a machine check. Sample problem scenario: - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0 - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here") - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB memory, e.g., sx1000) In the scenario above, the only choices are - Use WB for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because it causes attribute aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space. - Use UC for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because the chipset may not support UC for that region. - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL. That's what this patch does.

There's one scsi driver which doesn't compile due to weird __VA_ARGS__ tricks and the rather useful scsi/sd.c is currently getting an ICE. None of the new SAS code compiles, due to extensive use of anonymous unions. The V4L guys are very good at exploiting the gcc-2.95.x macro expansion bug (_why_ does each driver need to implement its own debug macros?) and various people keep on sneaking in anonymous unions, which are rather nice. Plus anonymous unions are rather useful. Signed-off-by:

I couldn't find any docs explaining the contents of /sys/block/<dev>/stat, so I wrote up the following. I'm not completely sure it's accurate - Jens, could you give a yea or nay on this? In particular, the counts of read/write IOs and read/write sectors are incremented in different places - it looks like they both increment as the request is being finished, but I'm not completely sure of that.

In fork, child should recopy parent's pgrp/tty after it has tasklist_lock. Otherwise following a setpgid() on the parent, *after* copy_signal(), the child will own a stale pgrp (which may be reused); (eg. if copy_mm() sleeps a long while due to memory pressure). Similar issue for the tty. Signed-off-by:
