After being put on hold for a while (needed fixes to CCISS driver, etc) I attached a patch that adds pci-x support to the cpqphp driver in 2.5.65. Changes: Adds 66/100/133MHz PCI-X support. Adds support for dynamically chaning frequency and mode. Changes code to also blink the power LED when powering down. Uses the IRQ from PCI config space if the ROM resource table doesn't provide one (would previously use the same interrupt as the hotplug controller which would lead to bad things when trying to update routing tables). Dan Zink should have the credit for this fix. Changes find_slot() to cpqhp_find_slot(). Uses sysfs to display speed/freq. Some documentation updates.

Patch from Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org> The get_disk() function should check the return value from kobject_get() before passing it to to_disk(). This patch fixes this error. (Acked by Pat)

Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> In both 2.5 and 2.4, the fs/nfsd/vfs.c:nfsd_symlink() function calls down to notify_change(). If notify_change fails for some reason, the error code is not converted to an nfs no-the-wire error code as is should. The attached patches fix that (one for 2.4, the other for 2.5).

Patch from Martin J. Bligh and Dave Hansen People with ordinary PCs are accidentally turning on NUMA support, and people with NUMA machines are finding the NUMA option mysteriously disappearing. This patch sets the defaults to sane things for everyone, and only allows you to turn on NUMA with both SMP and 64Gb support on (it's useful for the distros on non-Summit boxes, but not on their UP kernels ;-)). I've also moved it below the highmem options, as it logically depends on them, so this makes more sense. For those searching for NUMA support on *real* NUMA machine, Dave has provided some guiding comments to show them what they messed up (it's totally non-obvious). Hopefully this will stop people's recent unfortunate foot-wounds (I think UP machines were defaulting to NUMA on ... oops).

This makes sysrq facilities available to remote users. Writing a 'C' to /proc/sysrq-trigger receives the same treatment as typing sysrq-C on the local keyboard.

Patch from "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com> This removes the DO_ACTION stuff. The downside is that we add some boring and repetive code. The upside is that it's simple, and mere mortals can read it without screwing their brains into a small piece of silly putty and bouncing it off the wall. I think that's more important than pure source code size.

Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org> Adds an oops counter to the oops messages, such as: Oops: 0002 [#2] So we can tell whether oops reports refer to the first oops, or to some less-interesting followon oops.

Patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> It extends the maximum amount of memory which may be kmalloced on nommu machines. This is needed because these machines cannot perform vmalloc(). We couldn't really find a way of doing this which avoided the ifdef tangle.

- Remove the private freelist. There's no point in special-casing file structure allocations in this way. - Hence the freeing of files can be moved outside file_list_lock() - Replace euid test with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). - Tidy various other things up.

Patch from Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Fixes the lock contention over file_list_lock by simply removing the unneeded anon_list. So filp allocation does not need to take a global lock any more. The use of a spinlock to protect files_stat.nr_files is a bit awkward, but the alternative is a custom sysctl handler, and isn't much more efficient anyway.

This is a forward-port of Andrea's fix in 2.4. If a timer handler re-adds a timer to go off right now, __run_timers() will never terminate. (I wrote a test. It happens.) Fix that up by teaching internal_add_timer() to detect when it is being called from within the context of __run_timers() and to park newly-added timers onto a temp list instead. These timers are then added for real by __run_timers(), after it has finished processing all pending timers.

Patch from Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> With ppc64 64bit dynamic executables we have to relocate the contents of the function descriptor. Passing in the load address to ELF_PLAT_INIT allows us to do this. The patch allows ppc64 to run 64-bit executables and is a no-op for other architectures.

Patch from Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca> This patch fixes what seems to have been a longstanding bug. Ever since we moved cpu bringup later into the boot process, we end up programming the ioapics before we have any of our possible cpus in the cpu_online_map. Therefore leading to the following current situation; For walmart-smp, bigsmp and summit we set the logical destination for cpu to TARGET_CPUS which can depend on the cpu_online_map, so what you would normally see with noirqbalance would be all interrupts handled on cpu0 since at that stage no other cpu apart from the BSP is online. You can check for this by looking at the ioredtbls at boottime for a two way system; .... IRQ redirection table: NR Log Phy Mask Trig IRR Pol Stat Dest Deli Vect: 00 000 00 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 01 001 01 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 39 02 001 01 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 31 03 001 01 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 41 04 001 01 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 49 05 001 01 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 51 06 001 01 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 59 Notice that 'Log' is set to 1 instead of 3. This patch will simply reprogram all the ioredtbls to handle the other online cpus. Patch tested on my 2way P2-400 and a 16way NUMAQ both with noirqbalance. It will not affect the irqbalance case because we are simply setting TARGET_CPUS which is done anyway. before: CPU0 CPU1 0: 1495632 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 4270 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 12: 83592 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 93791 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 103167 0 IO-APIC-edge ide1 17: 1396088 0 IO-APIC-level EMU10K1, eth0 18: 56125 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, aic7xxx 19: 2258 0 IO-APIC-level uhci-hcd, eth1, serial NMI: 0 0 LOC: 1495566 1497133 after: CPU0 CPU1 0: 1046157 1015670 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 4923 4173 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 12: 48596 48968 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 4238 3416 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 25362 31525 IO-APIC-edge ide1 17: 3757 4014 IO-APIC-level EMU10K1, eth0 18: 335 366 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, aic7xxx 19: 1052 908 IO-APIC-level uhci-hcd, eth1 NMI: 0 0 LOC: 2061856 2061893

This is a fix made almost a month ago, during the flurry of signal changes. I didn't realize until today that this hadn't made it into 2.5. Sorry about the delay. This fix is necessary to avoid sometimes wedging in uninterruptible sleep when doing a multithreaded core dump triggered by a process signal (kill) rather than a trap. You can reproduce the problem by running your favorite multithreaded program (NPTL) and then using "kill -SEGV" on it. It will often wedge. The actual fix could be just a two line diff: + if (current->signal->group_exit) + goto dequeue; after the group_exit_task check. That is the fix that has been used in Ingo's backport for weeks and tested heavily (well, as heavily as core dumping ever gets tested, but it's been in our production systems). But I broke the hair out into a separate function. The patch below has the same effect as the two-liner, and no other difference. I have tested 2.5.64 with this patch and it works for me, though I haven't beat on it. The way the wedge happens is that for a core-dump signal group_send_sig_info does a group stop of other threads before the one thread handles the fatal signal. If the fatal thread gets into do_coredump and coredump_wait first, then other threads see the group stop and suspend with SIGKILL pending. All other fatal cases clear group_stop_count, so this is the only way this ever happens. Checking group_exit fixes it. I didn't make do_coredump clear group_stop_count because doing it with the appropriate ordering and locking doesn't fit the organization that code.

Mounting a non-affs filesystem as affs crashes the kernel. The reason is the sbi = kmalloc(sizeof(struct affs_sb_info), GFP_KERNEL); memset(sbi, 0, sizeof(*AFFS_SB)); where the second sizeof is 1, so that sbi is not zeroed at all. Also, avoid a warning for printk of sector_t in amigaffs.h.
