Following patch makes the Makefile > compatible with Linux 2.7 instead . :) Please consider applying. If we are going to clean up this I prefer we get rid of the local variables. See attached patch.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Pure cosmetic. Largest biovec slab is printed as biovec-BIO_MAX_PAGES in /proc/slabinfo. It would be more informative to print actual number instead of macro's name.

From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> If a single readdir entry needs to be split over two pages in the reply, we first encode it into a new page, and then copy the bits into place. When we do this relocation, we have to modify the "offset" pointer to be either in the first or the second page, as appropriate. If the pointer should be at the start of the second page, it is currently put past the end of the first page. Note that as the offset and whole response is known to be 4byte-aligned, the offset pointer will never be split over two pages.

We keep on getting BUG()s from isofs_read_super() because it passes an insane blocksize to bread(). See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2735 for example. I don't know what's up with isofs, but going BUG in there seems a bit rude. Change it to drop a bunch of diagnostics and a backtrace then return a null bh*. Most callers of getblk() don't expect it to fail, so they'll oops anyway. But isofs does actually check for a NULL return. This way, the machine stays up and we get better debug diagnostics.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> kallsyms contains only function names, but some debuggers (eg. xmon on PPC/PPC64) use it to lookup symbols: it'd be much nicer if it included data symbols too.

Give appropriate and separate backing_dev_info's to both the ramdisk blockdev inode and to the files which live atop the ramdisk. Everything works now.

Andrew Morton authored
Implement an empty ->writepages() so that attempts to write back ramdisk pages have less work to do.

Andrew Morton authored
When a filesystem does getblk() to get a buffer_head against the ramdisk the VFS will allocate a new not-uptodate pagecache page and will attach buffers to it. The filesystem will then bring certain buffer_heads uptodate. But not the whole page. Later, various ramdisk a_ops see the not-uptodate page and wipe the whole thing out, including the parts to which the filesystem wrote! Fix that up by only zapping those parts of the page which are covered by non-uptodate buffers.

We don't actualy need to kmap the blockdev inode's pages at all, because they're ~__GFP_HIGHMEM. But it's future-safe, and cheap.

There's a race: one CPU writes a 1k block into a ramdisk page which isn't in the blockdev pagecache yet. It memsets the locked page to zeroes. While this is happening, another CPU comes in and tries to write a different 1k block to the "disk". But it doesn't lock the page so it races with the memset and can have its data scribbled over. Fix this up by locking the page even if it already existed in pagecache. Locking a pagecache page in a make_request_fn sounds deadlocky but it is not, because: a) ramdisk_writepage() does nothing but a set_bit(), and cannot recur onto the same page. b) Any higher-level code which holds a page lock is supposed to be allocating its memory with GFP_NOFS, and in 2.6 kernels that's equivalent to GFP_NOIO. (The distinction between GFP_NOIO and GFP_NOFS basically disappeared with the buffer_head LRU, although it was reused for writes to swap).

Allocating pagecache pages within the disk request_fn is deadlocky and prone to page allocation failures, causing write I/O errors. Attempt to improve things by fiddling with gfp masks.

- Remove the ramdisk special-case in fs-writeback.c - it will soon be unneeded. - Fix rd_ioctl() to return -ENOTTY on invalid ioctl types, not -EINVAL. - Make ramdisk Kconfig friendlier.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> We declare enter_rtas with a struct rtas_args * argument, though it is supposed to be a physical address, and then every time we call it we cast the unsigned long result from __pa() to a void *. This patch changes the declaration of enter_rtas to make it take an unsigned long argument, and removes the cast from all the callers. The actual enter_rtas() routine is in assembler and doesn't need to be changed.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> The ppc64 head.S contains an enable_32b_mode function which is used nowhere. This patch removes it.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> This patch fixes a whole pile of problems in the xmon kernel debugger for ppc64. This basically makes xmon SMP-safe. Now, when we enter xmon it sends an IPI to the other CPUs to get them into xmon too. It also changes the way we do single-stepping and breakpoints so that we don't have to remove a breakpoint to proceed from it (instead we either emulate the instruction where the breakpoint was, or execute it out of place). With this patch, if we get an exception inside xmon, it will just return to the xmon command loop instead of hanging the system as at present. The patch is quite large because it updates the disassembler to the latest version from binutils (trimmed a bit), which is why I didn't cc lkml.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> When I added the out-of-line spinlocks on PPC64, I inadvertently introduced a bug in the inline version of _raw_spin_trylock, where it returns the opposite of what it should return. The patch below fixes it.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> When hotplug cpu isn't enabled, cpu_is_offline is always false. I had a stuck cpu at boot that resulted in a lockup because we tried to start a migration thread on it. Instead of cpu_is_offline we can use !cpu_online which should cover both the hotplug cpu enabled and disabled cases.
