commit f82f3f94 in mainline. Avoid setting the value if the symbol doesn't need to be changed or can't be changed. Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the possible input range. make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking, even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU.

commit 60187d27 in mainline. Spotted by taoyue <yue.tao@windriver.com> and Jeremy Katz <jeremy.katz@windriver.com>. collect_signal: sigqueue_free: list_del_init(&first->list); if (!list_empty(&q->list)) { // not taken } q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC; __sigqueue_free(first); __sigqueue_free(q); Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the obviously bad implications. In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue. Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see http://marc.info/?t=118766926500003 http://marc.info/?t=118466273000005 Alexey Dobriyan reports this patch makes the difference for the testcase, but nobody has an access to the application which opened the problems originally. Also, this patch removes tasklist lock/unlock, ->siglock is enough.

cherry picked from commit 6175e487 b2c2-flexcop: fix Airstar HD5000 tuning regression Git changeset 6bdcc6e6 dropped the stand-alone lgh06xf module, whose functionality was absorbed into the dvb-pll module. However, there was a minor difference between the code in lgh06xf and dvb-pll, which caused a regression in b2c2-flexcop devices using the LG-H06xF NIM. dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an i2c pll chip by performing a single byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. Unfortunately, the code in flexcop-i2c.c does not currently support 1 byte or 0 byte reads as a probe. Such probes with the current code will always fail. In order to work around this problem, and restore proper functionality of the Airstar HD5000 device, this hack was created to make the probe appear to succeed. The single byte read in dvb_pll_attach is the only place where such a probe would ever occur, so this change is safe, and will not affect any other devices. Of course, if one knew how to actually perform the read operation, it would be better to go that route. In the meantime, however, we must apply this workaround, in order to prevent the regression that causes tuning to fail on the Airstar HD5000 ATSC device. Thanks to Jarod Wilson, who had originally reported this regression, and to Geoffrey Hausheer, whose original workaround patch led us to find the actual cause of the problem.

Ok, lets kill the message. As Alois Nešpor also saw, that's fixed up by Yenta, so PCI does not have to warn about it. PCI could still warn about it if is_cardbus is 0 in that instance of pci_scan_bridge(), but so far I have not seen a report where this would have been the case so I think we can spare the kernel of that check (removes ~300 lines of asm) unless debugging is done. History: The whole check was added in the days before we had the fixup for this in Yenta and pci=assign-busses was the only way to get CardBus cards detected on many (not all) of the machines which give this warning. In theory, there could be cases when this warning would be triggered and it's not cardbus, then the warning should still apply, but I think this should only be the case when working on a completely broken PCI setup, but one may have already enabled the debug code in drivers/pci and the patched check would then trigger. I do not sign this off yet because it's completely untested so far, but everyone is free to test it (with the #ifdef DEBUG replaced by #if 1 and pr_debug( changed to printk(. We may also dump the whole check (remove everything within the #ifdef from the source) if that's perferred. On Alois Nešpor's machine this would then (only when debugging) this message: "PCI: Bus #0b (-#0e) is partially hidden behind transparent bridge #0a (-#0b)" "partially" should be in the message on his machine because #0b of #0b-#0e is reachable behind #0a-#0b, but not #0c-#0e. But that differentiation is now moot anyway because the fixup in Yenta takes care of it as far as I could see so far, which means that unless somebody is debugging a totally broken PCI setup, this message is not needed anymore, not even for debugging PCI. Ok, here the patch with the following changes: * Refined to say that the bus is only partially hidden when the parent bus numbers are not totally way off (outside of) the child bus range * remove the reference to pci=assign-busses and the plea to report it We could add a pure source code-only comment to keep a reference to pci=assign-busses the in case when this is triggered by someone who is debugging the cause of this message and looking the way to solve it.

It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast recovery (is_dupack would be false there too). I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like 'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless, I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-) Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

Actually, the ratehalving seems to work too well, as cwnd is reduced on every second ACK even though the packets in flight remains unchanged. Recoveries in a bidirectional flows suffer quite badly because of this, both NewReno and SACK are affected. After this patch, rate halving is performed for ACK only if packets in flight was supposedly changed too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

[TCP]: Invoke tcp_sendmsg() directly, do not use inet_sendmsg(). As discovered by Evegniy Polyakov, if we try to sendmsg after a connection reset, we can do incredibly stupid things. The core issue is that inet_sendmsg() tries to autobind the socket, but we should never do that for TCP. Instead we should just go straight into TCP's sendmsg() code which will do all of the necessary state and pending socket error checks. TCP's sendpage already directly vectors to tcp_sendpage(), so this merely brings sendmsg() in line with that. Signed-off-by: David S.

The underflow exception cases were wrong. This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap enable mask of the FPU control register. As a specific case the Sparc V9 manual gives us the following description: -------------------- If UFM = 0: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a loss of accuracy occurs. Tininess may be detected before or after rounding. Loss of accuracy may be either a denormalization loss or an inexact result. If UFM = 1: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny. Tininess may be detected before or after rounding. -------------------- What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal, we set underflow if any of the following are true: 1) rounding sets inexact 2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this should set inexact too 3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which incorrectly generated an underflow. It should not, unless underflow is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr. Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754 literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above. However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow should be set and reported as a trap. That is handled properly by the prioritization logic in arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception(). Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek. Signed-off-by: David S.

To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the previous patch. If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

dequeue_signal: if (__SI_TIMER) { spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock); do_schedule_next_timer(info); spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock); } Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer() is just wrong. Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal(). This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

Found this looping Ubuntu installs with VMI. If unlucky enough to hit a vmalloc sync fault during a lazy mode operation (from an IRQ handler for a module which was not yet populated in current page directory, or from inside copy_one_pte, which touches swap_map, and hit in an unused 4M region), the required PDE update would never get flushed, causing an infinite page fault loop. This bug affects any paravirt-ops backend which uses lazy updates, I believe that makes it a bug in Xen, VMI and lguest. It only happens on LOWMEM kernels. Touching vmalloc memory in the middle of a lazy mode update can generate a kernel PDE update, which must be flushed immediately. The fix is to leave lazy mode when doing a vmalloc sync.

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.

[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: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: David S.

[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.
