* [PATCH] alpha: SMP IRQ routing fixIvan Kokshaysky2006-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> After removal of fixup_cpu_present_map() function Alpha ended up with an empty cpu_present_map, so secondary CPUs on SMP systems are not being started. Worse, on some platforms we route interrupts to secondary CPUs using cpu_possible_map which is still populated properly. As a result, these interrupts go nowhere so the machines like DP264 aren't able to boot even with a primary CPU. Fixed basically by s/cpu_present_mask/cpu_present_map/.

* | IPoIB: Fix AH leak at interface downEli Cohen2006-06-05
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ipoib_stop() is called it first calls netif_stop_queue() to stop the kernel from passing more packets to the network driver. However, the completion handler may call netif_wake_queue() re-enabling packet transfer. This might result in leaks (we see AH leaks which we think can be attributed to this bug) as new packets get posted while the interface is going down.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All registered reset callback handlers are called during reset processing. The mptspi modules has its own reset callback handler, just recently added for issuing domain validation after host reset. If either the mptsas or mptfc driver are loaded, this callback could be called. Thus resulting in domain validation being issued for sas or fibre end devices. Fix this by having mptbase.c check the bus type against the driver type and only call the reset handler if they match (or if it's a non-bus specific reset handler).

We don't deal with this, so currently, when asked to enable IRQ 64, we will enable IRQ 56 instead. The only interrupts >= 64 are the thread interrupt sources, and there are no in-tree users of those yet, so this is fortunately not a big problem, but this needs fixing anyway.

Stepping A1 of the ixp2350, which has a PRODUCT_ID of 0x401, has '02' in the lower byte of processor_id, while A2, with a PRODUCT_ID of 0x402, has '04' in the lower byte of processor_id.

Firstly, "offslab_limit" is a global variable while it should either be calculated in situ or should be passed in as a parameter. Secondly, the more serious problem with it is that the condition for calculating it: if (!(OFF_SLAB(sizes->cs_cachep))) { offslab_limit = sizes->cs_size - sizeof(struct slab); offslab_limit /= sizeof(kmem_bufctl_t); is in total disconnect with the condition that makes use of it: /* More than offslab_limit objects will cause problems */ if ((flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB) && num > offslab_limit) break; but due to offslab_limit being a global variable this breakage was hidden. Up until lockdep came along and perturbed the slab sizes sufficiently so that the first off-slab cache would still see a (non-calculated) zero value for offslab_limit and would panic with: kmem_cache_create: couldn't create cache size-512. Call Trace: [<ffffffff8020a5b9>] show_trace+0x96/0x1c8 [<ffffffff8020a8f0>] dump_stack+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff8022994f>] panic+0x39/0x21a [<ffffffff80270814>] kmem_cache_create+0x5a0/0x5d0 [<ffffffff80aced62>] kmem_cache_init+0x193/0x379 [<ffffffff80abf779>] start_kernel+0x17f/0x218 [<ffffffff80abf263>] _sinittext+0x263/0x26a Kernel panic - not syncing: kmem_cache_create(): failed to create slab `size-512' Paolo Ornati's config on x86_64 managed to trigger it. The fix is to move the calculation to the place that makes use of it. This also makes slab.o 54 bytes smaller. Btw., the check itself is quite silly. Its intention is to test whether the number of objects per slab would be higher than the number of slab control pointers possible. In theory it could be triggered: if someone tried to allocate 4-byte objects cache and explicitly requested with CFLGS_OFF_SLAB. So i kept the check. Out of historic interest i checked how old this bug was and it's ancient, 10 years old! It is the oldest hidden and then truly triggering bugs i ever saw being fixed in the kernel!

| |/ / |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For just one busy queue (like async write out), we often overlooked that we could queue more io and decided we were idle instead. This causes us quite a bit of performance loss. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A proper fix would involve introducing the notion of shared caches but at this stage of 2.6.17 that's going to be too intrusive and not needed for current hardware; aside I think some discussion will be needed. So for now on the affected SMP configurations which happen to suffer from cache aliases we make use of the fact that a single cache will be shared by all processors. This solves the deadlock issue and will improve performance by getting rid of the smp_call_function overhead. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

For some platforms, only the name is listed while other entries are prepended with "Support for". Remove this as it doesn't make sense when describing the "system type".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When debugging a kernel compiled by gcc 4.1 with gdb 6.4, gdb could not show filename, linenumber, etc. It seems fixed if I used generic DWARF_DEBUG macro. Although gcc 3.x seems work without this change, it would be better to use the generic macro unless there were something MIPS specific.
