The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in the wrong place. By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was specified on the command line. However, when the command line only has the COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's opened, so the limit is missed in these cases. This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev. Signed-off-by:

[NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bonding http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum flags and SG/TSO. For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces an illegal combination. The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to deal with this. In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both bonding and bridging. In the process I've made small adjustments such as only setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device supports it. Signed-off-by:

[PATCH] ocfs2: Fix bad source start calculation during kernel writes For in-kernel writes ocfs2_get_write_source() should be starting the buffer at a page boundary as the math in ocfs2_map_and_write_user_data() will pad it back out to the correct write offset. Instead, we were passing the raw offset, which caused ocfs2_map_and_write_user_data() start too far into the buffer, resulting in corruptions from nfs client writes. Signed-off-by:

The new percpu code has apparently broken the doublefault handler when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is set. Doublefault is handled by a hardware task, making the check SPIN_BUG_ON(lock->owner == current, lock, "recursion"); fault because it uses the FS register to access the percpu data for current, and that register is zero in the new TSS. (The trace I saw was on 2.6.20 where it was GS, but it looks like this will still happen with FS on 2.6.22.) Initializing FS in the doublefault_tss should fix it. AK: Also fix broken ptr_ok() and turn printks into KERN_EMERG AK: And add a PANIC prefix to make clear the system will hang AK: (e.g. x86-64 will recover) Signed-off-by:Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Very old binutils (2.12.90...) seem to have trouble with newlines in assembler macro invocation. They put them into the resulting argument expansion. In this case this lead to a parse error because a .rept expression ended up spread over multiple lines. Change the PMDS() invocation to a single line. Signed-off-by:

On some systems some PFNs reported by the early initialization code as 'nosave' may be invalid. =A0If we try to set the corresponding bits in the hibernation bitmap, BUG_ON() in memory_bm_find_bit() will be triggered and the system won't be able to boot (cf. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296242).

If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ. It works around the problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have netconsole on the same nic. This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area. Without this patch the machine hangs hard. With this patch everything still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while using the nic. Signed-off-by:

Theory : though needless, it should not have hurt. Practice: it does not play nice with DEBUG_SHIRQ + LOCKDEP + UP (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D242572). The patch makes sense in itself but I should dig why it has an effect on #242572 (assuming that NAPI do not change in a near future). Patch in mainline as 313b0305.

These functions depend on "result" being initalized to 0, but "result" is not included as an input constraint to the inline assembly block following its initialization, only as an output constraint. Thus gcc thinks it doesn't need to initialize it, so result ends up undefined if the "unless" condition is true. This fixes an oops in sunrpc where the faulty atomics caused rpciod_up() to not start the workqueue as it should. Signed-off-by:

Revert 7e92b4fc. It broke Sébastien Dugué's machine and Jeff said (persuasively) This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS." It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year, and your box won't have a serial port either! :) I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver), but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again? It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade. Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.

The smsc47m1 driver no longer creates the name attribute used by libsensors to identify chip types. It was lost during the conversion to a platform driver. I was fooled by the fact that we do have a group with all attributes, but only to delete them all at once. The group is not used to create the attributes, so we have to explicitly create the name attribute. Signed-off-by:

With tickless kernel and software coordination os P-states, ondemand can look at wrong idle statistics. This can happen when ondemand sampling is happening on CPU 0 and due to software coordination sampling also looks at utilization of CPU 1. If CPU 1 is in tickless state at that moment, its idle statistics will not be uptodate and CPU 0 thinks CPU 1 is idle for less amount of time than it actually is. This can be resolved by looking at all the busy times of CPUs, which is accurate, even with tickless, and use that to determine idle time in a round about way (total time - busy time). Thanks to Arjan for originally reporting the ondemand bug on Lenovo T61. Signed-off-by:

Visualize-EG, Graffiti and A4450A graphics cards on PARISC can be configured in double-buffer and standard mode, but the stifb driver supports standard mode only. This patch detects double-buffered cards more reliable. It is a real bugfix for a very nasty problem for all parisc users which have wrongly configured their graphic card. The problem: The stifb graphics driver will not detect that the card is wrongly configured and then nevertheless just enables the graphics mode, which it shouldn't. In the end, the user will see no further updates / boot messages on the screen. We had documented this problem already on our FAQ (http://parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html#viseg "Why do I get corrupted graphics with my Vis-EG/Graffiti/A4450A card?") but people still run into this problem. So having this fix in as early as possible can help us. Signed-off-by:

My "slices" address space management code that was added in 2.6.22 implementation of get_unmapped_area() doesn't properly check that the size is a multiple of the requested page size. This allows userland to create VMAs that aren't a multiple of the huge page size with hugetlbfs (since hugetlbfs entirely relies on get_unmapped_area() to do that checking) which leads to a kernel BUG() when such areas are torn down.

This reverts commit fd6e9d39. Having #size-cells == 0 in a node indicates that things under the node aren't directly accessible, and therefore we shouldn't try to translate addresses for devices under the node into CPU physical addresses. Some drivers, such as the nvram driver for powermacs, rely on of_address_to_resource failing if they are called for a node representing a device whose resources aren't directly accessible by the CPU. These drivers were broken by commit fd6e9d39, resulting in the "Lombard" powerbook hanging early in the boot process. stable team, this patch is equivalent to commit 77926826Signed-off-by:
