This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r. In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas() routine in SMP environment. > > The problem is that touching *addr will generate an oops if that page isn't > > paged in.

I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary. So, the "unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock" instruction execution without any interruptions. In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like get_user(). And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's operations in a spin-locked critical section. Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas() rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope. Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a bug of include/asm-m32r/system.h:__cmpxchg_u32(). static __inline__ unsigned long __cmpxchg_u32(volatile unsigned int *p, unsigned int old, unsigned int new); In __cmpxchg_u32(), the "old" value must not be changed to the previous "*p" value. But the former code modifies the previous "*p" value. A deadlock at _atomic_dec_and_lock sometimes happened due to this bug. Signed-off-by:

Using FCP devices with V=V support, the input queue stalled when CCQ 97 had been returned in qdio_do_eqbs. When this happen we have to reissue the eqbs instruction. Another bug was when V=V was enabled we checked if hardware has SIGA-sync support. If not we returned with 0 from tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done. Thus qdio lost initiative on FCP devices and input queue stalled. Running devices in V=V there is no SIGA-sync support but nevertheless we have to process tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done either.

Make resume from suspend-to-ram possible for Samsung P35 laptops. The radeon mobility 9700 chip on Samsung P35 laptops locks up everything on resume from suspend-to-ram if it is not reinitialized. VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] Class 0300: 1002:4e50 Subsystem: 144d:c00c Unfortunately, the DMI strings are mostly identical for all Samsung laptops.

Some recent PowerBook models tend to lose the ethernet PHY on suspend/resume. It -seems- that they use a combo ethernet-firewire PHY chip and the firewire PHY seems to die the same way when that happens. Not trying to toggle the firewire cable power appears to fix it. So this patch disables changes to the firewire cable power control GPIO on those models. Signed-off-by:

Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line. That's little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun. It is better to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend (according to the whitelist). This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot. (akpm: Documentation updates for this new sysctl are pending..) Signed-off-by:

Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low. In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the whole system coming down). It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is similar to what we do when running out of hugepages. This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the current process. Signed-off-by:

In the badness() calculation, there's currently this piece of code: /* * Processes which fork a lot of child processes are likely * a good choice. We add the vmsize of the children if they * have an own mm. This prevents forking servers to flood the * machine with an endless amount of children */ list_for_each(tsk, &p->children) { struct task_struct *chld; chld = list_entry(tsk, struct task_struct, sibling); if (chld->mm = p->mm && chld->mm) points += chld->mm->total_vm; } The intention is clear: If some server (apache) keeps spawning new children and we run OOM, we want to kill the father rather than picking a child. This -- to some degree -- also helps a bit with getting fork bombs under control, though I'd consider this a desirable side-effect rather than a feature. There's one problem with this: No matter how many or few children there are, if just one of them misbehaves, and all others (including the father) do everything right, we still always kill the whole family. This hits in real life; whether it's javascript in konqueror resulting in kdeinit (and thus the whole KDE session) being hit or just a classical server that spawns children. Sidenote: The killer does kill all direct children as well, not only the selected father, see oom_kill_process(). The idea in attached patch is that we do want to account the memory consumption of the (direct) children to the father -- however not fully. This maintains the property that fathers with too many children will still very likely be picked, whereas a single misbehaving child has the chance to be picked by the OOM killer. In the patch I account only half (rounded up) of the children's vm_size to the parent. This means that if one child eats more mem than the rest of the family, it will be picked, otherwise it's still the father and thus the whole family that gets selected. This is heuristics -- we could debate whether accounting for a fourth would be better than for half of it. Or -- if people would consider it worth the trouble -- make it a sysctl. For now I sticked to accounting for half, which should IMHO be a significant improvement. The patch does one more thing: As users tend to be irritated by the choice of killed processes (mainly because the children are killed first, despite some of them having a very low OOM score), I added some more output: The selected (father) process will be reported first and it's oom_score printed to syslog. Description: Only account for half of children's vm size in oom score calculation This should still give the parent enough point in case of fork bombs. If any child however has more than 50% of the vm size of all children together, it'll get a higher score and be elected. This patch also makes the kernel display the oom_score.

When redirecting an outgoing packet to loopback, it keeps the original conntrack reference and information from the outgoing path, which falsely triggers the check for DNAT on input and the dst_entry is released to trigger rerouting. ip_route_input refuses to route the packet because it has a local source address and it is dropped. Look at the packet itself to dermine if it was NATed. Also fix a missing inversion that causes unneccesary xfrm lookups. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes 2 bugs in the USB-IrDA code. The first one is a buffer overrun in the RX path. We are now using IRDA_SKB_MAX_MTU when initializing the Rx URB. The second one is a potential stack recursion when unplugging the USB dongle. It seems that first we get the Rx URB with a generic error code, and after a while the Rx URB comes again with a "disconnect" error code. Since we are resubmitting the Rx URB immediately after receiving the first error one, we might enter an endless loop. When getting an error Rx URB, the patch defers the Rx URB resubmitting so that it gives us a chance to catch the disconnect one, in case the dongle has juts been unplugged. Tested against 2.6.16-rc2.

ICMP errors are only SNATed when their source matches the source of the connection they are related to, otherwise the source address is not changed. This creates problems with ICMP frag. required messages originating from a router behind the NAT, if private IPs are used the packet has a good change of getting dropped on the path to its destination. Always NAT ICMP errors similar to the original connection. Based on report by Al Viro. Signed-off-by:

If the logical and physical cpu ids of a secondary thread don't match, we will fail to spin the thread up on pSeries machines due to a bug in pseries/smp.c We call the RTAS "start-cpu" method with the physical cpu id, the address of pSeries_secondary_smp_init and the value to pass that function in r3. Currently we pass "lcpu", the logical cpu id, but pSeries_secondary_smp_init expects the physical cpu id in r3. We should be passing pcpu instead. Signed-off-by:

Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die. Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC. Signed-off-by:
