* [POWERPC] kdump shutdown hook supportMichael Neuling2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds hooks into the default_machine_crash_shutdown so drivers can register a function to be run in the first kernel before we hand off to the second kernel. This should only be used in exceptional circumstances, like where the device can't be reset in the second kernel alone (as is the case with eHEA). To emphasize this, the number of handles allowed to be registered is currently #def to 1. This uses the setjmp/longjmp code around the call out to the registered hooks, so any bogus exceptions we encounter will hopefully be recoverable. Tested with bogus data and instruction exceptions.

| * phy/fixed.c: rework to not duplicate PHY layer functionalityVitaly Bordug2008-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With that patch fixed.c now fully emulates MDIO bus, thus no need to duplicate PHY layer functionality. That, in turn, drastically simplifies the code, and drops down line count. As an additional bonus, now there is no need to register MDIO bus for each PHY, all emulated PHYs placed on the platform fixed MDIO bus. There is also no more need to pre-allocate PHYs via .config option, this is all now handled dynamically.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were several issues if a memreserve range existed and happened to be in highmem: * The bootmem allocator is only aware of lowmem so calling reserve_bootmem with a highmem address would cause a BUG_ON * All highmem pages were provided to the buddy allocator Added a lmb_is_reserved() api that we now use to determine if a highem page should continue to be PageReserved or provided to the buddy allocator. Also, we incorrectly reported the amount of pages reserved since all highmem pages are initally marked reserved and we clear the PageReserved flag as we "free" up the highmem pages.

The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined. This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup, data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed and reused, with disastrous results. - Use macros for initcalls and .text sections. - Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define. - Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

| * | lockdep: fix workqueue creation API lockdep interactionJohannes Berg2008-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic. This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable name.

Unfortunately this means that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch, each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data, which causes it to crash. This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the 3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that 473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP -- allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled. This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs. Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled for removal. So replace pm_active with pm_flags. pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM, which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9194 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * | | | | [XFRM]: xfrm_algo_clone() allocates too much memoryEric Dumazet2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alg_key_len is the length in bits of the key, not in bytes. Best way to fix this is to move alg_len() function from net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c to include/net/xfrm.h, and to use it in xfrm_algo_clone() alg_len() is renamed to xfrm_alg_len() because of its global exposition.

| * | | | | [NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()Paul Moore2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | | | | [NET]: Add NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.David S. Miller2008-01-09

This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | | | | [NET]: Do not grab device reference when scheduling a NAPI poll.David S. Miller2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away will do a napi_disable() first. The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
