But in xt_replace_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc will be used again. Then the memory allocated by previous xt_jumpstack_alloc will be leaked. We can simply remove the previous xt_jumpstack_alloc because there aren't any users of newinfo between xt_jumpstack_alloc and xt_replace_table.

| * | | net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_allocEric Dumazet2010-06-01

Or extend backlog processing to be able to process normal and error packets. Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is what I implemented in this patch.

The test scenario had the local port set to autoneg and the other end fixed at 100FD, resulting in a large number of late collisions. According to the MPC8280RM 30.10.1.3 (also 8272RM 29.10.1.3), after a tx error occurs, TBPTR may sometimes point beyond BDs still marked as ready. This patch walks back through the BDs and points TBPTR to the earliest one marked as ready. Tested on a custom board with a MPC8280.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 663cb47cc2c5acd32850f67d051e47d62ed199c9. This patch was merged out of the proper order, so instead of fixing a problem with a prior (unmerged) patch, it creates one. Ooops! Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

So we should return -EFAULT rather than directly returning the results. Without this patch, positive values may be returned to elf_fdpic_map_file() and the following error handlings do not function as expected. 1. ret = elf_fdpic_map_file_constdisp_on_uclinux(params, file, mm); if (ret < 0) return ret; 2. ret = elf_fdpic_map_file_by_direct_mmap(params, file, mm); if (ret < 0) return ret; Signed-off-by: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> CC: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Daisuke HATAYAMA <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> CC: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The comment about the mod being freed is self-explanatory, but neither Tejun nor I read it. This bug was introduced in 259354deaa, after it had previously been fixed in 6e2b75740b. How embarrassing.

This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled. On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/ hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for A, and the only way out of that loop is the need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner(). This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for kernel code to be holding the BKL.
