* slub: Reduce #ifdef ZONE_DMA by moving kmalloc_caches_dma near dma logicChristoph Lameter2008-04-14
| | | | | | | | Move the definition of kmalloc_caches_dma() into a later #ifdef CONFIG_ZONE_DMA. This saves one #ifdef and leaves us with a total of two #ifdefs for dma slab support. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>
* slub: Initialize per-cpu statsPekka Enberg2008-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | As spotted by kmemcheck, we need to initialize the per-CPU ->stat array before using it. [kmem_cache_cpu structures are usually allocated from arrays defined via DEFINE_PER_CPU that are zeroed so we have not noticed this so far --cl].

As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a char sized socket option value, as in: unsigned char ttl = 255; socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl); setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little- endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written with garbage. It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt(): if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) { It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it copies a full 'int' back to userspace. On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three bytes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to handle this better, but that is a change to an interface used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated carefully.

Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is underway.

| * | | | [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+LIlpo Järvinen2008-04-08

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

| * | | | [TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skbIlpo Järvinen2008-04-08

With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow because our code was built on top of assumption about valid NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for the overflow in a number of places. It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried. Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an overflow. Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here. Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK for 2.6.26. In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect is slightly different because of a small changes in the if conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) ptrace should pass 'current' to task_user_regset_view() 2) When fetching general registers using a 64-bit view, and the target is 32-bit, we have to convert. 3) Skip the whole register window get/set code block if the user isn't asking to access anything in there. Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have an address space setup. Fetching ptrace register is still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try to access the register window area of the regset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | | | | pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocolBjorn Helgaas2008-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. Call Trace: [<a000000100010720>] show_stack+0x40/0xa0 [<a0000001000107b0>] dump_stack+0x30/0x60 [<a0000001001dbdf0>] kobject_add+0x290/0x2c0 [<a0000001002bfd40>] device_add+0x160/0x860 [<a0000001002c0470>] device_register+0x30/0x60 [<a00000010026ba70>] __pnp_add_device+0x130/0x180 [<a00000010026bb70>] pnp_add_device+0xb0/0xe0 [<a0000001007f2730>] pnpacpi_add_device+0x510/0x5a0 [<a0000001007f2810>] pnpacpi_add_device_handler+0x50/0x80 This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem. It should not have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still enforced in the backends.

Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e. clear the STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to refresh any non-uptodate blocks. Kernel versions >= 2.6.23 are susceptible.
