Suggested by Linus: optimise a condition in the clear_p?d_range functions. Results in one less conditional branch on i386 with gcc-3.4.4 Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch fixes a nasty bug that took us almost a week to track down on ppc64, introduced by the 4L page table changes, and resulting in random memory corruption. All archs that rely on a PTE page's struct page to contain the mm & address (in mapping/index) will be affected. zeromap_pud_range() is one of these page tables walking functions that split the address into a base and an offset. It forgets to add back the "base" when calling the lower level zeromap_pmd_range(), thus passing a bogus virtual address. Most archs won't care, unless they do the above, since the lower level can allocate a PTE page. Kudo's to Michael Ellerman too who spent that week running tests after tests to track it down, since the only way we managed to get it to show up was after about 1 to 2h of LTP runs ... (Note: We are in _urgent_ need to consolidate all those page table walking functions, they all do things in a subtely different way, with different checks (sometimes redudant) and inconsitent with each other, even within a given set of them. Hopefully, Nick has some work in progress there). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

While browsing the 4 level page table changes (looking for a bug), I noticed that copy_page_range, unlike others, do not check for wraparound, which I suppose could be a problem with 4G/4G architectures or that sort of thing. This patch fixes it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

When using 4level-fixup.h, a PMD page may end up beeing freed before the matching PGD entry is cleared due to the way the compatibility macros work. This can cause nasty races on some architectures. This patch fixes it by defining pud_clear() to be pgd_clear(). That means we'll actually write 0 twice, a small price to pay here, especially seeing how easy it is to convert to the new headers anyway (hint hint, ppc & ppc64 patches as soon as 2.6.11 is out).

This gets rid of a bug found in some IRQ handling logic, after tripping a debug assertion. Basically, a recent patch called the wrong routine to unlink a QH. Net result, it wasn't allowing for the case that some other QH was already being unlinked. This patch uses the correct routine; the names are confusingly similar, and the effect is often identical. The consequence of using the wrong routine was that the driver could lose one of the pending unlinks (probably wedging some activity) and treat the other one as completed before it was safe to do so (which probably wouldn't oops, but could cause other nasty corruption).

This patch is clearly needed for us to be in compliance with the USB spec. It adds the mandated recovery-time delay following a port reset.

From: Art Haas The current GCC cvs code does not like the include/linux/fb.h file: In file included from drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c:63: include/linux/fb.h:865: error: array type has incomplete element type This error is due to recent changes in GCC. A thread discussing this change can be found by following the link below: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-02/msg00053.html The patch moves the array declaration after the definition of the fb_modelist structure, and with this small change GCC is happy once again.

It appears that access to the PLL registers of the radeon chip is unreliable while the card is in "legacy VGA" text mode. I don't have a good explanation yet, it might be the BIOS mucking around behind my back. This fixes the lockup by moving the code that enables/disables the dynamic power management to after the mode is set. I'm still waiting for a proper explanation from ATI...

Noted while going through the n_tty code: that buffer check used to check against the size of the temporary kernel buffer, but since the tty layer was changed to use kernel buffers though-out, the kernel buffer array became just a pointer, and the check was limiting the opost blocksize to the size of a pointer, which makes no sense. Just remove it, since now the whole buffer is always in kernel space.

The NTTY code can get confused by 4kB chunks, apparently because n_tty_receive_room() will claim to have more room than n_tty_receive_buf() can actually accept. Until somebody figures out what the real n_tty_receive_room() logic should be, let's just limit it to a safe 2kB. Thanks go to Andreas Schwab for finding a test-case.
