Adapt saa7134 driver to video-buf changes. Signed-off-by:
-
Gerd Knorr authored
This is a cx88 driver update, changes: * adapt to video-buf changes. * add support for a new card. * use the new video-buf-dvb module. The dvb stuff doesn't build yet as it depends on some cutting-edge code from the linuxtv cvs and is tagged as 'BROKEN' because of that. The patch also removes all trailing whitespaces. I've a script to remove them from my sources now, that should kill those no-op whitespace changes in my patches after merging this initial cleanup. Signed-off-by:

This is a update for the saa7134 driver, changes: * adapt to the video-buf changes. * add new cards. * split mpeg encoder card support to separare module (saa7134-empress), as preparation for the dvb support which also uses the MPEG capabilities of the card. * started working on dvb support (not functional yet, also marked 'BROKEN'). * convert insmod options to new-style. The patch also removes all trailing whitespaces. I've a script to remove them from my sources now, that should kill those no-op whitespace changes in my patches after merging this initial cleanup.

Adds a new helper module for simple dvb budget cards without hardware filtering capabilities (which just pass the complete transport stream via DMA and let the dvb core sort everything else). Will initially be used by saa7134 + cx88 drivers. Signed-off-by:

This is one more interface fix for the video-buf.c module, the first attempt on that wasn't that clever. Instead of passing the driver private data through all function calls I've just made that an element of the videobuf_queue struct which is passed around everythere _anyway_. That removes some reduncancy, should be less error prone and gain me some points on rusty's interface design scala ;) It also fixes the tvtime crashes which where caused by overviewing one place to fixup in the first attempt.

The following patch against 2.6.10-rc1 fixes the brain damage that was found in the CPM2 uart driver. Previously, if 8250 was configured in, it would use one set of numbers (which at the time didn't conflict with anything, but have since been officially given to the Motorola i.MX driver) and if 8250 wasn't in, it would masquerade as it. The following switches us over to 204/46...49 (Which is still unclaimed). Signed-off-by:

A while ago, we fixed a problem in statfs on 64bit system that caused it to return EOVERFLOW when the number of files reported by the underlying file system was -1 (which happens for NFS for instance). The problematic code was this: if (sizeof ubuf->f_blocks == 4) { if ((kbuf->f_blocks | kbuf->f_bfree | kbuf->f_bavail | kbuf->f_files | kbuf->f_ffree) & 0xffffffff00000000ULL) return -EOVERFLOW; ... } The problem was fixed by explicitly allowing f_files and f_ffree to be -1. The same problem exists in fs/compat.c, and the attached patch fixes it in a similar manner. Signed-Off-By:Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

The patch below renames struct reserve_window_node* and rsv_window_add() function to struct ext3_reserve_window_node* and ext3_rsv_window_add(). This eases the task of having several ext3-derived filesystem drivers (with different capabilities) in kernel. Signed-off-by:

I found a solution for the HyperSPARC DMA problems in 2.6. This allows my SS20 with HyperSPARCs to boot to single user. It's not efficient, but I hope it points out whats needed for a proper fix. Seems that the iotlb entries need to flushed to ram or uncached since the iommu changes between 2.5.60 and 2.5.70. The second part seems to be needed to allow consistent sbus dma mappings to be cached on HyperSPARC. I have also tested this change on 2.4.27 with no noticeable difference. Acked-by:

When an ext3 partition is mounted and then quickly unmounted, the journal thread never gets around to checking the JFS_UNMOUNT flag (it immediately goes into a loop waiting for a new sequence number), causing the umount process to hang in journal_kill_thread(). The problem can be easily reproduced by roughly the following steps: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/qf bs=1024k count=10 yes | mke2fs -j /tmp/qf losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/qf mkdir /mnt/qf mount -t ext3 /dev/loop0 /mnt/qf ; umount /mnt/qf The patch below moves the check for JFS_UNMOUNT to the beginning of the journal thread loop, thereby preventing this race condition.

NPTL has 3 control counters (total/wake/woken). so NPTL can know: "how many threads enter to wait"(total), "how many threads receive wake signal"(wake), and "how many threads exit waiting"(woken). Abstraction of pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_signal are: A01 pthread_cond_wait { A02 timeout = 0; A03 lock(counters); A04 total++; A05 val = get_from(futex); A06 unlock(counters); A07 A08 sys_futex(futex, FUTEX_WAIT, val, timeout); A09 A10 lock(counters); A11 woken++; A12 unlock(counters); A13 } B01 pthread_cond_signal { B02 lock(counters); B03 if(total>wake) { /* if there is waiter */ B04 wake++; B05 update_val(futex); B06 sys_futex(futex, FUTEX_WAKE, 1); B07 } B08 unlock(counters); B09 } What we have to notice is: FUTEX_WAKE could be called before FUTEX_WAIT have called (at A07). In such case, FUTEX_WAKE will fail if there is no thread in waitqueue. However, since pthread_cond_signal do not only wake++ but also update_val(futex), next FUTEX_WAIT will fail with -EWOULDBLOCK because the val passed to WAIT is now not equal to updated val. Therefore, as the result, it seems that the WAKE wakes the WAIT. === The bug will appear if 2 pair of wait & wake called at (nearly)once: * Assume 4 threads, wait_A, wait_B, wake_X, and wake_Y * counters start from [total/wake/woken]=[0/0/0] * the val of futex starts from (0), update means inclement of the val. * there is no thread in waitqueue on the futex. [simulation] wait_A: calls pthread_cond_wait: total++, prepare to call FUTEX_WAIT with val=0. # status: [1/0/0] (0) queue={}(empty) # wake_X: calls pthread_cond_signal: no one in waitqueue, just wake++ and update futex val. # status: [1/1/0] (1) queue={}(empty) # wait_B: calls pthread_cond_wait: total++, prepare to call FUTEX_WAIT with val=1. # status: [2/1/0] (1) queue={}(empty) # wait_A: calls FUTEX_WAIT with val=0: after queueing, compare val. 0!=1 ... this should be blocked... # status: [2/1/0] (1) queue={A} # wait_B: calls FUTEX_WAIT with val=1: after queueing, compare val. 1==1 ... OK, let's schedule()... # status: [2/1/0] (1) queue={A,B} (B=sleeping) # wake_Y: calls pthread_cond_signal: A is in waitqueue ... dequeue A, wake++ and update futex val. # status: [2/2/0] (2) queue={B} (B=sleeping) # wait_A: end of FUTEX_WAIT with val=0: try to dequeue but already dequeued, return anyway. # status: [2/2/0] (2) queue={B} (B=sleeping) # wait_A: end of pthread_cond_wait: woken++. # status: [2/2/1] (2) queue={B} (B=sleeping) # This is bug: wait_A: wakeup wait_B: sleeping wake_X: wake A wake_Y: wake A again if subsequent wake_Z try to wake B: wake_Z: calls pthread_cond_signal: since total==wake, do nothing. # status: [2/2/1] (2) queue={B} (B=sleeping) # If wait_C comes, B become to can be woken, but C... This bug makes the waitqueue to trap some threads in it all time. ==== > - According to man of futex: > "If the futex was not equal to the expected value, the operation > returns -EWOULDBLOCK." > but now, here is no description about the rare case: > "returns 0 if the futex was not equal to the expected value, but > the process was woken by a FUTEX_WAKE call." > this behavior on rare case causes the hang which I found. So to avoid this problem, my patch shut up the window that you said: > The patch certainly looks sensible - I can see that without the patch, > there is a window in which this process is pointlessly queued up on the > futex and that in this window a wakeup attempt might do a bad thing. ===== In short: There is an un-documented behavior of futex_wait. This behavior misleads NPTL to wake a thread doubly, as the result, causes an application hang. Signed-off-by:Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by:

From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com>, Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it> Cc: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Using NPTL, getpid() sometimes delivers the wrong pid, since it uses the one buffered in TLS from previous calls. This buffered pid isn't discarded, when a child is created by a clone(). So, as a workaround, UML should use a direct kernel call to bypass the lib. Also, I (Paolo) went replacing all remaining calls of getpid() with os_getpid(), to make sure they use the syscall and not the normal glibc definition.

It was possible to hotplug add a new cpu that was larger than numnode. This meant we had a cpu with a node id that didnt have any NODE_DATA() backing it. The following patch catches this in numa_setup_cpu and forces the node to 0. We also make a pass through all cpus at boot to look for the maximum node id - this catches the case at boot. As for hotplug, since the node doesnt have any memory backing it (otherwise the node would have been onlined) then we can assume the machine isnt configured for performance and just force the cpu into node 0.

This last patch is a bit if a mess because it mainly consists of combining some single use small functions into their callers and rearranging some other code. Some intermediate variables are introduced and some code is restructured to improve its readablility (and hopefully maintainability). Overall there are no semantic changes. Signed-off-by:

This patch starts the improvement of the style of the MF code: - remove a union that is used where casts suffice - add a helper function (signal_ce_msg_simple) and use it - replace some painful code that converts a byte array to a couple of u32's and then shifts and masks the bytes back out.
