| * [IA64] SN fix for cpu hotplug/kexecJack Steiner2006-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sn_cpu_init() is required for cpu initialization on SN platforms. Change __init to __cpuinit so that the function is not freed with init code/data. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
| * [IA64] Save register stack contents on cpu startJack Steiner2006-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SN PROM uses the register stack in the slave loop. The contents must be preserved for the OS to return to the slave loop via offlining a cpu or for kexec. A 'flushrs" is needed to force the stack to be written to memory prior to changing bspstore. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

| * [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memoryTrond Myklebust2006-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages. This causes a page pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or nfs_write_data). Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the pagevec array, and initialise data->npages. Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

| * [PATCH] invalidate_complete_page() race fixAndrew Morton2006-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a CPU faults this page into pagetables after invalidate_mapping_pages() checked page_mapped(), invalidate_complete_page() will still proceed to remove the page from pagecache. This leaves the page-faulting process with a detached page. If it was MAP_SHARED then file data loss will ensue. Fix that up by checking the page's refcount after taking tree_lock.

It ends up returning -EIO. Here is the patch to fix it. If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1 (we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block. But I really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here. (doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped). ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped. It returns 0 in case of HOLE. ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

| * [PATCH] Use the correct restart option for futex_lock_piThomas Gleixner2006-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current implementation of futex_lock_pi returns -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK in case that the lock operation has been interrupted by a signal. This results in a return of -EINTR to userspace in case there is an handler for the signal. This is wrong, because userspace expects that the lock function does not return in any case of signal delivery. This was not caught by my insufficient test case, but triggered a nasty userspace problem in an high load application scenario. Unfortunately also glibc does not check for this invalid return value. Using -ERSTARTNOINTR makes sure, that the interrupted syscall is restarted. The restart block related code can be safely removed, as the possible timeout argument is an absolute time value.

| * [PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFsKirill Korotaev2006-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead to system crash. They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls, but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading. This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64). Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on its own when the macro isn't defined.

| * | [PATCH] prevent timespec/timeval to ktime_t overflowThomas Gleixner2006-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frank v. Waveren pointed out that on 64bit machines the timespec to ktime_t conversion might overflow. This is also true for timeval to ktime_t conversions. This breaks a "sleep inf" on 64bit machines. While a timespec/timeval with tx.sec = MAX_LONG is valid by specification the internal representation of ktime_t is based on nanoseconds. The conversion of seconds to nanoseconds overflows for seconds values >= (MAX_LONG / NSEC_PER_SEC). Check the seconds argument to the conversion and limit it to the maximum time which can be represented by ktime_t.

The patch actually raises two concerns: * We might want to add a generic PCI function to get the PCIe link width since some other drivers (at least ipath) do the same. But we probably do not want to add a new function for every PCIe capability. I will probably look at it and discuss it on linux-pci in the future. * As requested during the submission, the PCI ids of chipsets that are known to provided aligned completion are defined in the myri10ge code. If we keep adding new ones, it might become better to move them to pciids.h. But, this sort of quirk to detect these chipsets are very specific to our NIC, I don't think it is worth moving it to the PCI core until somebody else really needs it.

| * | [PATCH] ipw2200: ipw_wx_set_essid fixZhu Yi2006-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleanups the ipw_wx_set_essid code and forces a reassociation when setting the essid to "any". I have tested this patch with iwconfig. It makes ipw2200 compliant with all the cases mentioned in the iwconfig man page. The commands iwconfig iface essid any iwconfig iface essid -- any iwconfig iface essid off iwconfig iface essid on all seemed to work correctly. None of this worked before the patch. Note, this patch treats iwconfig iface essid iwconfig iface essid "" The same. It produces an error message: essid: Unknown host. Since an essid of "" is not mentioned in the iwconfig man page.

| * | [PATCH] ipw2200: SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl returns frequency rather than channelZhu Yi2006-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl fills the request structure's freq field by setting the exponent to 0 and the mantissa to the current channel number. The iwconfig tool works around this behaviour by looking up the frequency from the channel table if a frequency below 1kHz is returned, other tools (e.g. kwlaninfo) don't. According to the comment in the iwconfig source the driver is supposed to return the frequency, not the channel number.

| * | [PATCH] ipw2200: always enable frequently used debugging codeZhu Yi2006-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG. But it is highly deprecated for normal users since it adds higher debug verbosity in driver hot paths.

| * | [PATCH] ieee80211: Workaround malformed 802.11 frames from APZhu Yi2006-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stop processing further but return success when we receive a malformed packet from the AP. We need this patch to workaround some AP bugs. For example, the beacon frames from the Orinoco AP1000 contains an IE (value = 128) with length equals to 8 but the actual frame length is only 7.
