For the sysctl syscall, if the user wants to get the old value of a
sysctl entry and set a new value for it in the same syscall, the old
value is always overwritten by the new value if the sysctl entry is of
string type and if the user sets its strategy to sysctl_string.  This
issue lies in the strategy being run twice if the strategy is set to
sysctl_string, the general strategy sysctl_string always returns 0 if
success.

Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1
because they do read and write for the sysctl entry.

The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read
and write the sysctl entry.

According to my analysis, if a strategy routine do read and write, it
should return 1, if it just does some necessary check but not read and
write, it should return 0, for example sysctl_intvec.

If the string was too long to fit in the user-supplied buffer,
the sysctl layer would zero-terminate it by writing past the
end of the buffer. Don't do that.

The old /proc interfaces were never updated to use loff_t, and are just
generally broken.  Now, we should be using the seq_file interface for
all of the proc files, but converting the legacy functions is more work
than most people care for and has little upside..

But at least we can make the non-LFS rules explicit, rather than just
insanely wrapping the offset or something.

that changed the GART VM start offset.  It fixed some machines, but
seems to continually interact badly with some X versions.

Quoth Ben Herrenschmidt:

  "So I think at this point, the best is that we keep the old bogus code
   that at least is consistent with the bug in the server. I'm working on a
   big patch to X that reworks the memory map stuff completely and fixes
   those issues on the server side, I'll do a DRM patch matching this X fix
   as well so that the memory map is only ever set in one place and with
   what I hope is a correct algorithm..."

Don't use printk() where "current_thread_info()" is crap.

Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates
to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, &current is evaluated with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task).

And this leads to random segmentation faults.

Exactly, what happens is that &current = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round
down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which
causes SIGSEGV on a VM_GROWSDOWN vma (see arch/i386/mm/fault.c).

As reported by Jules Villard <jvillard@ens-lyon.fr> and some others, the
recent GART aperture start reconfiguration causes problems on some
setups.

What I _think_ might be happening is that the X server is also trying to
muck around with the card memory map and is forcing it back into a wrong
setting that also happens to no longer match what the DRM wants to do
and blows up.  There are bugs all over the place in that code (and still
some bugs in the DRM as well anyway).

This patch attempts to avoid that by using the largest of the 2 values,
which I think will cause it to behave as it used to for you and will
still fix the problem with machines that have an aperture size smaller
than the video memory.

The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.

1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
        all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]

2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]

3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
        a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
        b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
                not excluded
        c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report

NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
  source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
  path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
  as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, 
  relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
  machine.

4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
        The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
        list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
        short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
        with an empty list if needed.

5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
        its original value
