This is two distinct changes. - Not changing our real parents. - Not changing our ptrace parents. Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group. Now that we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change it's parentage. Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone looks hard enough. I don't think user space applications will care or even notice. In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags. From my quick skim of strace and gdb that appears to be the case. Which if true means debuggers will not notice a change. Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a debugger. Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags around appears excessive. By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for fixing the ptrace locking. This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the problems caused by reparenting. Oleg's second concern is essentially a race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we get to force_sig_specific. There is nothing special about de_thread with respect to that race. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6: [IA64] Make show_mem() skip holes in a pgdat [IA64] ia64_wait_for_slaves() incorrectly reports MCA

This patch modifies ia64's show_mem() to walk the vmem_map page tables and rapidly skip forward across regions where the page tables are missing. This prevents the pfn_valid() check from causing numerous unnecessary page faults. Without this patch on a 512 node 512 cpu system where every node has four memory holes, the show_mem() call takes 1 hour 18 minutes. With this patch, it takes less than 3 seconds.

ia64_wait_for_slaves() was changed in 2.6.17-rc1 to report the slave state. It incorrectly assumes that all slaves are for MCA, but ia64_wait_for_slaves() is also called from the INIT monarch handler. The existing message is very misleading, so correct it.

By calling send_sig do_SAK is recursively taking the tasklist_lock, which is silly. In addition I just audited the kernel and this was the only place where tasklist_lock is taken inside of task_lock. So this one line change is a general worthwhile cleanup and it increases our options on how to fix the ptrace_attach races. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The ixgb driver is using pci_alloc_consistent, thus is should also use pci_set_consistent_dma_mask. This allows the driver to work on SGI systems. In case of an error during probing it should also disable the device again. Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

After resetting the hardware on a tx_timeout, call netif_wake_queue() only if we have free tx descriptors. Also, attempt to recover if mv643xx_eth_start_xmit() is called when there are fewer free tx descriptors than expected. The BUG_ON() call we are replacing was hit on a tx_timeout that called netif_wake_queue(), indirectly via netif_device_attach(), even though we did not have enough free tx descriptors.

The driver allocates SRQ WQEs size with a power of 2 size both for Tavor and for memfree. For Tavor, however, the hardware only requires the WQE size to be a multiple of 16, not a power of 2, and the max number of scatter-gather allowed is reported accordingly by the firmware (and this is the value currently returned by ib_query_device() and ibv_query_device()). If the max number of scatter/gather entries reported by the FW is used when creating an SRQ, the creation will fail for Tavor, since the required WQE size will be increased to the next power of 2, which turns out to be larger than the device permitted max WQE size (which is not a power of 2). This patch reduces the reported SRQ max wqe size so that it can be used successfully in creating an SRQ on Tavor HCAs.

The in-kernel Sangoma drivers are both not compiling and marked as BROKEN since at least kernel 2.6.0.
