Don't pass DEVFS_FL_CURRENT_OWNER to devfs_register, the uid/gid of new nodes should always be 0.

Okay, all flags are gone from devfs callers, time to remove the gunk handling it. devfs_register prototype will change later.

This patch rips out handling of UNIX98 ptys from devfs. We already have a special small filesystem to handle it (devpts) that's always compiled in anyway. This allows to get rid of all DEVFS_FL* flags and some gunk in devfs.

Trying to always have a NULL first argument to simplify devfs code big time in mid-term. (Especially in preparation of Adam's smalldevfs).

register a /dev/cpu/microcode symlink instead of a regular file with the same name - regular file support is gone in devfs.

In the interests of SMP scalability the ext2 free blocks and free inodes counters are "approximate". But there is a piece of code in the Orlov allocator which fails due to boundary conditions on really small filesystems. Fix that up via a final allocation pass which simply uses first-fit for allocation of a directory inode.

My recent micro-optmisation to these functions broke the pfn_valid() checks. Revert it.

This BUG_ON is triggering via ppp's line discipline flushing, due to brokenness in tty_io.c. We need to fix tty. Meanwhile, let's not gratuitously nuke people's boxes.

The patch below is needed to avoid a deadlock on fs->lock. Without the patch, if __emul_lookup_dentry() returns 0, we fail to reacquire current->fs->lock and then go ahead to read_unlock() it anyhow. Bad for your health. I believe the bug was introduced when the fast pathwalk was reverted in order to introduce the RCU lockless path walking.

The problem is caused by the devfs_mk_dir simplification that went in a couple of weeks ago that didn't update one of the coda call-sites.

Fix for trivial typo. Without it, you can't insert anything on top of agpgart.ko because the agp_register_driver() will erroneously pick up the symbol version from agp_backend_acquire().

This converts connection tracking and all the connection tracking modules to handle non-linear skbs. Enough interfaces have been broken in the process that old helpers won't compile. Interfaces which used to take a "void *data, int len" or "struct iphdr *iph, int len" now take the skb itself (and an offset to the data in the case of the first interface), which is not linearized in any way (although Alexey says after ip_rcv the IP header is always linear, so IPv4 netfilter hooks can always assume a linear IP hdr). Helpers which examine data (amanda, FTP, IRC) now copy it into a buffer and examine that.

Clean up "pendcount" locking (or rather - lack there-of) by making it a per-timer thing and thus automatically protected by the timer lock. Fix whitespace damage.

Now that the kernel provides code user programs are executing directly (I mean the vsyscall code on x86) it is necessary to add unwind information for that code as well. The unwind information is used not only in C++ code. This patch adds a AT_SYSINFO_EH_FRAME ELF aux-table value that points to the unwinding block description for the sysinfo frame, and makes sure the AT_* value is passed to applications. It defines the static data for the unwind blocks (two, one for int80 and the other for sysenter), and finally adds code to copy the data in place.

Forward port of Jay's 2.4 patch. Also I've cleaned up EISA configury - we only need it for systems with EISA. Ivan.

While testing our upcoming kernel update for 7.2 alpha, I've encountered a problem with move_initrd. It allocates a page-aligned chunk to move the initrd into, but it doesn't allocate the entire last page. Subsequent bootmem allocations can then be filled from the last page used be the initrd. This then becomes a problem when the initrd memory is released.

The 2.5 kernels may hang on execve(). Most easily this can be reproduced by submitting forms in mozilla, apparently because it does execve with very long argument strings. That's what happens in do_execve, I suppose: bprm.mm = mm_alloc(); ... init_new_context(current, bprm.mm); here we update current ptbr with new mm->pgd ... copy_strings; interrupt -> do_softirq -> switch to ksoftirqd ... switch back to do_execve; copy_strings - immediate page fault in copy_user that we can't handle because the new ptbr has been activated after context switch and current->mm is not valid anymore. The fix is to not update ptbr for current task in init_new_context(), as we do it later in activate_mm() anyway. With it my (UP) boxes look quite stable so far. Ivan.

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> The patch fixes some problems with NFS under heavy writeout. NFS pages can be in a clean but unreclaimable state. They are unreclaimable because the server has not yet acked the write - we may need to "redirty" them if the server crashes. These are referred to as "unstable" pages. We need to count them alongside dirty and writeback pages when making flushing and throttling decisions. Otherwise the machine can be flooded with these pages and the VM has problems.
