SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which we copied. If the addr argument is something other than 1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that value is. This is different from every other Linux architecture, which don't do anything with the addr and data args. This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64. There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other platforms do. Signed-off-by:

This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes forever to just walk through the page tables because of all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64. With this change it takes only a second or so. Signed-off-by:

This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3. The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev() calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole subsystems from working. A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend time on just now. Signed-off-by:

The footbridge ISA RTC was being initialised before we had setup the kernel timer. This caused a divide by zero error when the current time of day is set. Resolve this by initialising the RTC after the kernel timer has been initialised. Signed-off-by:

The conditions that cause these calls to MD_BUG are not kernel bugs, just oddities in what userspace is asking for. Also convert analyze_sbs to return void, and the value it returned was always 0. Signed-off-by:

There is a tiny race when de-registering an MD thread, in that the thread could disappear before it is set a SIGKILL, causing send_sig to have problems. This is most easily closed by holding tasklist_lock between enabling the thread to exit (setting ->run to NULL) and telling it to exit. (akpm: ick. Needs to use kthread API and stop using signals) Signed-off-by:

Fix the formatting of some comments in 8250.c, and add a note that the register_serial / unregister_serial shouldn't be used in new code. We do this here in preference to adding to linux/serial.h, since that is used by a number of non-8250 drivers which pretend to be 8250. It is not known whether it would be appropriate to do so.

We were failing to close on an error path, resulting in a leak of struct files which could take a v4 server down fairly quickly.... So call nfs4_close_delegation instead of just open-coding parts of it. Simplify the cleanup on delegation failure while we're at it. Signed-off-by:

This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug. It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal list during commit. It took out the old code which was based on a single list. The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's t_sync_datalist list. The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good. But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent truncate-vs-commit. The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just leaves those buffers alone. truncate will remove the page from its mapping and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an illegal state for a page. The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they are removed from t_locked_list. The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim these pages. The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the committing transaction's t_locked_list. These buffers have been written and I/O has completed. We can take them off the transaction and undirty them within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer(). Acked-by:

Implement fast memory regions (FMRs), where the driver writes directly into the HCA's translation tables rather than requiring a firmware command. For Tavor, MTTs for FMR are separate from regular MTTs, and are reserved at driver initialization. This is done to limit the amount of virtual memory needed to map the MTTs. For Arbel, there's no such limitation, and all MTTs and MPTs may be used for FMR or for regular MR. Signed-off-by:

Fix bug in MTT allocation in mem-free mode. I misunderstood the MTT size value returned by the firmware -- it is really the size of a single MTT entry, since mem-free mode does not segment the MTT as the original firmware did. This meant that our MTT addresses ended up being off by a factor of 8. This meant that our MTT allocations might overlap, and so we could overwrite and corrupt earlier memory regions when writing new MTT entries. We fix this by always using our 64-byte MTT segment size. This allows some simplification of the code as well, since there's no reason to put the MTT segment size in a variable -- we can always use our enum value directly. Signed-off-by:
