When snd_cwnd is smaller than 38 and the connection is in congestion avoidance phase (snd_cwnd > snd_ssthresh), the snd_cwnd seems to stop growing.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek On the ixp23xx, the microengine thread interrupt sources are numbered 56..119, but their mask/status bits are located in bit positions 64..127 in the various registers in the interrupt controller (bit positions 56..63 are unused.) We don't deal with this, so currently, when asked to enable IRQ 64, we will enable IRQ 56 instead. The only interrupts >= 64 are the thread interrupt sources, and there are no in-tree users of those yet, so this is fortunately not a big problem, but this needs fixing anyway.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The current __ixp23xx_arch_is_coherent() check assumes that the lower byte of IXP23XX_PRODUCT_ID is identical to the lower byte of processor_id, but this is not the case, and because of this we were incorrectly enabling coherency on A1 stepping CPUs. Stepping A1 of the ixp2350, which has a PRODUCT_ID of 0x401, has '02' in the lower byte of processor_id, while A2, with a PRODUCT_ID of 0x402, has '04' in the lower byte of processor_id. So, to check for >= A2, we really need to check the lower byte of processor_id against >= 4.

mm/slab.c's offlab_limit logic is totally broken. Firstly, "offslab_limit" is a global variable while it should either be calculated in situ or should be passed in as a parameter. Secondly, the more serious problem with it is that the condition for calculating it: if (!(OFF_SLAB(sizes->cs_cachep))) { offslab_limit = sizes->cs_size - sizeof(struct slab); offslab_limit /= sizeof(kmem_bufctl_t); is in total disconnect with the condition that makes use of it: /* More than offslab_limit objects will cause problems */ if ((flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB) && num > offslab_limit) break; but due to offslab_limit being a global variable this breakage was hidden. Up until lockdep came along and perturbed the slab sizes sufficiently so that the first off-slab cache would still see a (non-calculated) zero value for offslab_limit and would panic with: kmem_cache_create: couldn't create cache size-512. Call Trace: [<ffffffff8020a5b9>] show_trace+0x96/0x1c8 [<ffffffff8020a8f0>] dump_stack+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff8022994f>] panic+0x39/0x21a [<ffffffff80270814>] kmem_cache_create+0x5a0/0x5d0 [<ffffffff80aced62>] kmem_cache_init+0x193/0x379 [<ffffffff80abf779>] start_kernel+0x17f/0x218 [<ffffffff80abf263>] _sinittext+0x263/0x26a Kernel panic - not syncing: kmem_cache_create(): failed to create slab `size-512' Paolo Ornati's config on x86_64 managed to trigger it. The fix is to move the calculation to the place that makes use of it. This also makes slab.o 54 bytes smaller. Btw., the check itself is quite silly. Its intention is to test whether the number of objects per slab would be higher than the number of slab control pointers possible. In theory it could be triggered: if someone tried to allocate 4-byte objects cache and explicitly requested with CFLGS_OFF_SLAB. So i kept the check. Out of historic interest i checked how old this bug was and it's ancient, 10 years old! It is the oldest hidden and then truly triggering bugs i ever saw being fixed in the kernel!

If we move a mapping from one virtual address to another, and this changes the virtual color of the mapping to those pages, we can see corrupt data due to D-cache aliasing. Check for and deal with this by overriding the move_pte() macro. Set things up so that other platforms can cleanly override the move_pte() macro too. Signed-off-by: David S.

A proper fix would involve introducing the notion of shared caches but at this stage of 2.6.17 that's going to be too intrusive and not needed for current hardware; aside I think some discussion will be needed. So for now on the affected SMP configurations which happen to suffer from cache aliases we make use of the fact that a single cache will be shared by all processors. This solves the deadlock issue and will improve performance by getting rid of the smp_call_function overhead. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

In case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR, set_pte() and pte_clear() functions only set _PAGE_GLOBAL bit in the pte_low field of the buddy PTEs, forgetting to propagate ito to pte_high. Thus, the both pages might not really be made global for the CPU (since it AND's the G-bit of the odd / even PTEs together to decide whether they're global or not). Thus, if only a single page is allocated via vmalloc() or ioremap(), it's not really global for CPU (and it must be, since this is kernel mapping), and thus its ASID is compared against the current process' one -- so, we'll get into trouble sooner or later... Also, pte_none() will fail on global pages because _PAGE_GLOBAL bit is set in both pte_low and pte_high, and pte_val() will return u64 value consisting of those fields concateneted.

NeilBrown authored
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which calls sysfs_notify. However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be called in interrupt context. This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs call, and uses that. A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to be called from user-context. Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by itself, modify the sync_action attribute. (We do still need to wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

From: Jeremy Higdon <jeremy@sgi.com> This patch fixes a bug in sgiioc4 where it was using the default IDE port I/O operations instead of MMIO. The IDE part of the IOC4 chip uses MMIO to map the chip registers. Unfortunately, the sgiioc4 driver uses the default port IO operations, which happens to have worked for the past few years. That's about to change, however, thus this change from inX/outX to readX/writeX.
