This patch introduces the conditional changes required for the three memory models. With [patch 1/4] there are three memory models; FLATMEM, DISCONTIG and SPARSEMEM. Also a new arch include file sparemem.h is introduced for defining SPARSEMEM parameters. Signed-off-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Unfortunately, [your patch] might address the crash but doesn't address the real problem. It turns out that the problem is one of padding (the firmware cksum engine works only on 32-bit chunks, yuck), so the special casing for length == 1 wasn't sufficient anyway. This patch addresses the issue, as well the other issue of i386 + CONFIG_HIGHMEM being broken. It is pretty much the same workaround that Adaptec themselves used in their Windows driver. I have yet to check if it fixes the problem when the skb is non-linear, but this patch _will_ solve the problem for 99% of the users out there (those not using sendfile).

The patch below is necessary to allow my Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 48 ethernet interface to work in a 10Mbit Half Duplex network. Without it, the driver keeps retrying other modes in an endless loop.

This patch removes backwards compatibility for old ifenslave binaries (ifenslave prior to verison 1.0.0). I did not similarly modify ifenslave itself; with sysfs on the horizon, I don't see that as being worthwhile.

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case. 1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get(). 2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu(). 3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl(). There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

Sorry, no exact revison and no more debugging > yet since it'a a production gateway. The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay. This area gets cleared every time arp_rcv gets called. Unfortunately packets delayed due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed. In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go through netfilter again at all. So the easiest solution is to bypass that and go straight to arp_process. This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support was added to ARP. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo) (The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line, so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs) 1) First some performance data : -------------------------------- tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established() The most time critical code is : sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) { if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif)) goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */ } The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of "struct sock" is prefetched. As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache lines. This can be problematic if some chains are very long. 2) The goal ----------- The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache, using one cache line per iteration. 3) Description of the patch --------------------------- Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common', filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform. struct sock_common { unsigned short skc_family; volatile unsigned char skc_state; unsigned char skc_reuse; int skc_bound_dev_if; struct hlist_node skc_node; struct hlist_node skc_bind_node; atomic_t skc_refcnt; + unsigned int skc_hash; struct proto *skc_prot; }; Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size - 1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache line in case of a miss. Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with (ehash_size - 1) File include/net/inet_hashtables.h 64 bits platforms : #define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\ (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \ ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \ (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif)))) 32bits platforms: #define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\ (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \ (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \ (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \ (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif)))) - Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in __inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and __inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and __dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Test for VIA K8T800 north bridge instead of AMD K8 HyperTransport bridge based on new information from Andi Kleen. The AMD HyperTransport interface is not responsible for PCI transactions and so the re-ordering is more likely done by the VIA north bridge. This code is subject to change if we get more information from AMD or VIA. PCI Express devices are excluded from doing the read flush since all chipsets in the write_reorder list are PCI chipsets.

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time. Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day. This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in. In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while yet. When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2.6.14-rc2 does not assign cpus to proper nodeids on our em64t numa boxen. Our boxes use acpi srat for parsing the numa information. srat_detect_node() used phys_proc_id[] to get to the cpu's local apic id, but phys_proc_id[] represents the cpu<->initial_apic_id mapping. The following patch fixes this problem. Now apicid_to_node[] is properly indexed with the local apic id.

Some Legacy megaraid cards can't actually cope with the scatter/gather version of the READ CAPACITY command (which is what we now send them since altering all SCSI internal I/O to go via the block layer). Fix this (and a few other broken megaraid driver assumptions) by sending the non-sg version of the command if the sg list only has a single element.
