Serial drivers in general should not write uart_info->flags - they're private to serial_core. Serial drivers have no need to fiddle with tty->alt_speed, nor manipulate TTY_IO_ERROR in tty->flags. Fix the ioc4 serial driver for both these points by simply removing the offending code. Acked-by: pfg@sgi.com Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This adds some additional comments in order to help others figure out how exactly the code works. And fix a variable name. Also swap_page does need to ignore all reference bits when unmapping a page. Otherwise we may have to repeatedly unmap a frequently touched page. So change the try_to_unmap parameter to 1.

Prevent stalled processing of received data when a driver allocates tty buffer space but does not immediately follow the allocation with more data and a call to schedule receive tty processing. (example: hvc_console) This bug was introduced by the first locking patch for the new tty buffering.

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().) This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt() (vma->vm_end - addr) < size addr == return address of shmat() size == shmsize, argments to shmget() size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end, which is aligned.

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive. b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory. I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug case. Should be OK.. I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing that.

We are setting up sources for building external modules like this: /usr/src/linux-obj> # create a .config file /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD oldconfig /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD prepare /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD scripts /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD clean After that, external modules can be built with: /usr/src/module> make -C /usr/src/linux-obj M=$PWD This fails for ppc32 because the `make clean' removes the arch/powerpc/include directory. This should be done in archmrproper instead of in archclean.

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see the similar issue even on other archs. One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But, the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel memory in case overlaps. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that it still isn't quite ready with his additions either). Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised similar concerns in my review). The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2 SMP+HT Xeon are as follows: | Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40 -----------+----------------+---------------------+--------------------- 2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470 +nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347 Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually measured that). We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.

Embedded boards that u-boot require a kernel image in the uImage format. This allows a given board to specify it wants a uImage built by default.

When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket, it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid.

netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink. Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket, so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be, and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock of rtnetlink. Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional argument to netlink_attachskb(). A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases: 1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot wait for buffer space. 2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered to some recipients.
