This is the second report of this bug. Unfortunately the first reporter hasn't been able to reproduce it since to provide more debugging info. So let's apply this patch for 2.6.14 to 1) Make this non-fatal. 2) Provide the info we need to track it down. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically, the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic will come in, and the other code will not think that network device is part of a bridge. This should also fix the XEN test problems.

Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on the standard timebase of the PPC architecture. However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on the wrong CPU... This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to update glibc & kernel at the same time).

Interestingly enough, ppc32 had broken timekeeping for ages... It worked, but probably drifted a bit more than could be explained by the actual bad precision of the timebase calibration. We discovered that recently when somebody figured out that the common code was using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to correct the timekeeing, and ppc32 had a completely bogus value for it. This patch turns it into something saner. Probably not as good as doing something based on the actual timebase frequency precision but I'll leave that sort of math to others. This at least makes it better for the common HZ values. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed some problems in the block driver. I have fixes for these, but am not comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date. So, this patch reverts the use of host AIO. I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14 in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to the general public.

We were not doing alignment properly when remapping the kernel image. What we want is a 4MB aligned physical address to map at KERNBASE. Mistakedly we were 4MB aligning the virtual address where the kernel initially sits, that's wrong. Instead, we should PAGE align the virtual address, then 4MB align the physical address result the prom gives to us. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Nir Tzachar <tzachar@cs.bgu.ac.il> points out that if an ELF file specifies a zero-length bss at a whacky address, we cannot load that binary because padzero() tries to zero out the end of the page at the whacky address, and that may not be writeable. See also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5411 So teach load_elf_binary() to skip the bss settng altogether if the elf file has a zero-length bss segment.

I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in __dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong. The incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running fsck depending on the size of the partition. The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a negative number if size is offset > size. The problem with the nr_segs caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g. it returns 1 when size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.

Revert this recent correctness change: Douglas Crosher <dcrosher@scieneer.com> reported that it broke an existing application, and that madvise() works without error on anonymous mappings on Solaris. This means that madvise() will remain non-standards-compliant: we should return -EBADF for all requests against non-file-backed vma's, but Linux only does this for MADV_WILLNEED requests.

Here is a compatibility fix between Linux and Solaris when used with VxFS filesystems: Solaris usually accepts acl entries in any order, but with VxFS it replies with NFSERR_INVAL when it sees a four-entry acl that is not in canonical form. It may also fail with other non-canonical acls -- I can't tell, because that case never triggers: We only send non-canonical acls when we fake up an ACL_MASK entry. Instead of adding fake ACL_MASK entries at the end, inserting them in the correct position makes Solaris+VxFS happy. The Linux client and server sides don't care about entry order. The three-entry-acl special case in which we need a fake ACL_MASK entry was handled in xdr_nfsace_encode. The patch moves this into nfsacl_encode.

v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write use kmalloc to allocate buffers as big as the data buffer received as parameter. kmalloc cannot be used to allocate buffers bigger than 128K, so reading/writing data in chunks bigger than 128k fails. This patch reorganizes v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write to allocate only buffers as big as the maximum data that can be sent in one 9P message.

In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the user app dump every individual packet in to the driver. This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear again. Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump another packet. This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of large number of packets. I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will change the way we do packet updates; In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file. This driver also creates a new entry in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet size here before downloading the packet file. The user should do the following: create one single file which has all the packets stacked together. echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size. echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory. This makes packet update process very efficient and fast. As all the packet update happens in one single operation. The user can still read back the downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

pSeries_irq_bus_setup is marked __devinit but references s7a_workaround which is marked __initdata. Depending on who got the memory for s7a_workaround (and if the value was now positive), it was possible for PCI hotplugged devices to have 3 subtracted from their interrupt number. This would happen randomly and caused me much confusion :) Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initially we used 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, since we had no event mechanism to tell userspace that our counters are about to overflow.

This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP: * Fix transport mode MTU overestimate. This means that the inner MTU is smaller than it needs be. Worse yet, given an input MTU which is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not a multiple of 4. For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of 1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should be 1464. The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6. * Ensure that the block size is at least 4. This is required by RFC2406 and corresponds to what the esp_output function does. At the moment this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.
