I don't know what this is trying to do. It might be some kind of artifact from when get_pgd_slow() was removed. The expanded expression with __pa() ends up looking something like this: (unsigned long)(u64)(u32)pmd-PAGE_OFFSET and that is just nutty because pmd is a pointer now, anyway. Attached patch removes the casts. Signed-off-by:

Use, in the rb_entry definition, the container_of macro instead of reinventing the wheel; compared to using offset_of() as I did in the prev. version, it has type safety checking. Signed-off-by:

Below is a patch to suppress printing uninformative errors from ide-floppy.c in response to commands to floppy drives in which no media is present. Without this patch, commands sent to ide-floppy devices without media inserted cause error messages on the console (KERN_ERR level) such as: ide-floppy: ide: I/O error, pc = 0 key = 2, asc = 3a asq = 0 ide-floppy: ide: I/O error, pc = 1b key = 2, asc = 3a asq = 0 ide-floppy: ide: I/O error, pc = 23 key = 2, asc = 3a asq = 0 ide-floppy: ide: I/O error, pc = 1e key = 2, asc = 3a asq = 0 ide-floppy: ide: I/O error, pc = 1e key = 2, asc = 3a asq = 0 Dell's Virtual Floppy (system management presents to the local system an IDE floppy device, which is actually a floppy device in a remote system connected over an IP link) exhibits this also, when connecting to a remote floppy drive with no media present.

This patch adds "swap_token_timeout" parameter in /proc/sys/vm. The parameter means expired time of token. Unit of the value is HZ, and the default value is the same as current SWAP_TOKEN_TIMEOUT (i.e. HZ * 300). Signed-off-by:

Some controller BIOSes have problems with the legacy int13 fn02 READ SECTORS command. int13 fn42 EXTENDED READ is used in preference by most boot loaders today, so lets use that. If EXTENDED READ fails or isn't supported, fall back to READ SECTORS. This hopefully resolves the three reports of BIOSes which would either long-pause (30+ seconds) or hang completely on the legacy READ SECTORS command. This also adds CONFIG_EDD_SKIP_MBR to eliminate reading the MBR on each BIOS-presented disk, in case there are further problems in this area. Signed-off-by:

This patch prevents execution of hvc_write() and hvc_hangup() after the tty layer has executed a final hvc_close() against a device. This patch provides a better method than was previously used. tty->driver_data is no longer invalidated so we'll no longer get oopses when the tty layer allows late hangup() and write() operations. - Removed silly tty->driver_data = NULL; from hvc_close which prevents possible oops in hvc_write() and hvc_hangup() due to improperly acting ldisc close ordering. - Added hp->count <= 0 check to hvc_write() and hvc_hangup() to prevent execution of these function after hvc_close() has been invoked by the tty layer. Same tty ldisc issues as above are the reason. - Added some comments to clarify the situation. - Awaiting a forth coming patch from Alan Cox which should clean up the close ordering and prevent the late hangup and write ops from happening.

The error exit path in request_firmware frees the allocated struct firmware *firmware, which is good. What is not so good is that the value of firmware has already been copied out to the caller as *firmware_p. The risk is that the caller will pass this to release_firmware, a double free. This is exactly what will happen if the caller copied the example code if(request_firmware(&fw_entry, $FIRMWARE, device) == 0) copy_fw_to_device(fw_entry->data, fw_entry->size); release(fw_entry); from the firmware documentation.

Amiga frame buffer: We used to have a local hack in fbmem.c to always call the fbdev setup() routines, even when an fbdev was explicitly disabled on the kernel command line (video=xxx:off). This allowed amifb to suspend the monitor, but program the sync generator of the video controller in Denise/Lisa to a 31 kHz/70 Hz mode, increasing the maximum audio playback frequency. Thanks to the recently introduced fb_get_options() routine, we can kill the local hack and just use the return value of fb_get_options(). Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
Kirill's kernel/pid.c rework broke optimization logic in detach_pid(). Non zero return from __detach_pid() was used to indicate, that this pid can probably be freed. Current version always (modulo idle threads) return non zero value, thus resulting in unneccesary pid_hash scanning. Also, uninlining __detach_pid() reduces pid.o text size from 2492 to 1600 bytes.

Christoph Lameter authored
POSIX clocks are to be implemented in the following way according to V3 of the Single Unix Specification: 1. CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID Implementations shall also support the special clockid_t value CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, which represents the CPU-time clock of the calling process when invoking one of the clock_*() or timer_*() functions. For these clock IDs, the values returned by clock_gettime() and specified by clock_settime() represent the amount of execution time of the process associated with the clock. 2. CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID Implementations shall also support the special clockid_t value CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, which represents the CPU-time clock of the calling thread when invoking one of the clock_*() or timer_*() functions. For these clock IDs, the values returned by clock_gettime() and specified by clock_settime() shall represent the amount of execution time of the thread associated with the clock. These times mentioned are CPU processing times and not the time that has passed since the startup of a process. Glibc currently provides its own implementation of these two clocks which is designed to return the time that passed since the startup of a process or a thread. Moreover Glibc's clocks are bound to CPU timers which is problematic when the frequency of the clock changes or the process is moved to a different processor whose cpu timer may not be fully synchronized to the cpu timer of the current CPU. This patchset results in a both clocks working reliably. The patch also implements the access to other the thread and process clocks of linux processes by using negative clockid's: 1. For CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID: -pid 2. For CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID: -(pid + PID_MAX_LIMIT) This allows clock_getcpuclockid(pid) to return -pid and pthread_getcpuiclock(pid) to return -(pid + PID_MAX_LIMIT) to allow access to the corresponding clocks. Todo: - The timer API to generate events by a non tick based timer is not usable in its current state. The posix timer API seems to be only useful at this point to define clock_get/set. Need to revise this. - Implement timed interrupts in mmtimer after API is revised. The mmtimer patch is unchanged from V6 and stays as is in 2.6.9-rc3-mm2. But I expect to update the driver as soon as the interface to setup hardware timer interrupts is usable.

The following patch will have the committed memory limit (per the current overcommit ratio) and the amount of memory remaining under this limit displayed in meminfo. It's presently somewhat difficult to use the strict memory overcommit settings as it's somewhat difficult to determine the amount of memory remaining under the cap. This patch would make using strict overcommit a good bit simpler. Signed-off-by:

I don't know why struct k_itimer was ever declared in sched.h; perhaps at one time it was referenced by something else there. There is no need for it now. This patch moves the struct where it belongs, in linux/posix-timers.h. It has zero effect on anything except keeping the source easier to read. Signed-off-by:
