CRC-32 checking during ULE decapsulation always failed on x86_64 systems due to the size of a variable used to store CRC. This bug was discovered on Fedora Core 6 with kernel-2.6.18-1.2849. The i386 counterpart has no such problem. This patch has been tested on 64-bit system as well as 32-bit system. Signed-off-by:

We use the fixmap for accessing pci config space in pci_mmcfg_read/write(). The problem is in pci_exp_set_dev_base(). It is caching a last accessed address to avoid calling set_fixmap_nocache() whenever pci_mmcfg_read/write() is used. static inline void pci_exp_set_dev_base(int bus, int devfn) { u32 dev_base = base | (bus << 20) | (devfn << 12); if (dev_base != mmcfg_last_accessed_device) { mmcfg_last_accessed_device = dev_base; set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_PCIE_MCFG, dev_base); } } cpu0 cpu1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- pci_mmcfg_read("device-A") pci_exp_set_dev_base() set_fixmap_nocache() pci_mmcfg_read("device-B") pci_exp_set_dev_base() set_fixmap_nocache() pci_mmcfg_read("device-B") pci_exp_set_dev_base() /* doesn't flush tlb */ But if cpus accessed the above order, the second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 doesn't flush the TLB, because "mmcfg_last_accessed_device" is device-B. So, second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 accesses a device-A via a previous TLB cache. This problem became the cause of several strange behavior. This patches fixes this situation by adds "mmcfg_last_accessed_cpu" check. [ Alternatively, we could make a per-cpu mapping area or something. Not that it's probably worth it, but if we wanted to avoid all locking and instead just disable preemption, that would be the way to go. --Linus ] Signed-off-by:OGAWA Hirofumi <hogawa@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by:

When this code was converted to use sk_for_each() the logic for the "best hash chain length" code was reversed, breaking everything. The original code was of the form: size = 0; do { if (++size >= best_size_so_far) goto next; } while ((sk = sk->next) != NULL); best_size_so_far = size; best = result; next:; and this got converted into: sk_for_each(sk2, node, head) if (++size < best_size_so_far) { best_size_so_far = size; best = result; } Which does something very very different from the original.

While looking at DCCP sequence numbers, I stumbled over a problem with the following definition of before in tcp.h: static inline int before(__u32 seq1, __u32 seq2) { return (__s32)(seq1-seq2) < 0; } Problem: This definition suffers from an an ambiguity, i.e. always before(a, (a + 2^31) % 2^32)) = 1 before((a + 2^31) % 2^32), a) = 1 In text: when the difference between a and b amounts to 2^31, a is always considered `before' b, the function can not decide. The reason is that implicitly 0 is `before' 1 ... 2^31-1 ... 2^31 Solution: There is a simple fix, by defining before in such a way that 0 is no longer `before' 2^31, i.e. 0 `before' 1 ... 2^31-1 By not using the middle between 0 and 2^32, before can be made unambiguous. This is achieved by testing whether seq2-seq1 > 0 (using signed 32-bit arithmetic). I attach a patch to codify this. Also the `after' relation is basically a redefinition of `before', it is now defined as a macro after before. Signed-off-by:Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by:

Back when the original NetLabel patches were being changed to use Netlink attributes correctly some code was accidentially dropped which set all of the undefined CIPSOv4 level and category mappings to a sentinel value. The result is the mappings data in the kernel contains bogus mappings which always map to zero. This patch restores the old/correct behavior by initializing the mapping data to the correct sentinel value. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes the case when we reparent to a different thread in the same thread group. This modifies the code so that we do not send signals and do not change the signal to send to SIGCHLD unless we have change the thread group of our parents. It also suppresses sending pdeath_sig in this cas as well since the result of geppid doesn't change. Thanks to Oleg for spotting my bug of only fixing this for non-ptraced tasks. Signed-off-by:

compile.h is created super-late in the build. But proc_misc.c want to include it, and it's generally not sane to have a header file in include/linux be created at the end of the build: it's either not present or, worse, wrong for most of the build. So the patch arranges for compile.h to be built at the start of the build process. It also consolidates the compile.h rules with those for version.h and utsname.h, so they all get built together. I hope. My chances of having got this right are about 2%. Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by:

Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by system load, often in the milliseconds range. After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options, test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him: _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / ||||| delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup (try_to_wake_up) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup <<...>-5856> (37 0) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup (c01262ba 0 0) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : resched_task (try_to_wake_up) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __spin_unlock_irqrestore (try_to_wake_up) ... <idle>-0 1...1 11us!: default_idle (cpu_idle) ... <idle>-0 0Dn.1 602us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (c0103baf 1 0) ... <...>-5856 0D..2 618us : __switch_to (__schedule) <...>-5856 0D..2 618us : __schedule <<idle>-0> (20 162) <...>-5856 0D..2 619us : __spin_unlock_irq (__schedule) <...>-5856 0...1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched (__schedule) <...>-5856 0D..1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0) what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task() for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set, and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup! the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree: commit 495ab9c0 Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200 [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status. the problem is this type of change: if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) { - clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG); + current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING; smp_mb__after_clear_bit(); while (!need_resched()) { local_irq_disable(); this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING. clear_thread_flag() is defined as: clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags); and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms: static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr) { __asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX "btrl %1,%0" hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier: #define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier() but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch: + current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING; is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now reside in different memory addresses. CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched() and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory ordering is paramount.] Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often. ( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. ) The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default, ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64. Signed-off-by:Fernando Lopez-Lezcano <nando@ccrma.Stanford.EDU> Signed-off-by:

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and waited for IO completion. But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was not waited for IO completion. Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.
