| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds suspend support for the Radeon M11 chip in 12" iBooks manufactured after July 2005. I don't know if the new 14" iBooks also have that chip, so they might also be supported. The chip identifies itself as "RV350 NV" (pci id 0x4e56), revision 0x80. Apple calls it "Snowy", xfree86 names it "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M11) NV (AGP)". So, we seem to be lucky here: The suspend-code for the M10 (which also is a "RV350 NV") works flawless for that chip.

* | Fix inequality comparison against "task->state"Linus Torvalds2005-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should always use bitmask ops, rather than depend on some ordering of the different states. With the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag, the inequality doesn't really work. Oleg Nesterov argues (likely correctly) that this test is unnecessary in the first place. However, the minimal fix for now is to at least make it work in the presense of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE. Waiting for consensus from Roland & co on potential bigger cleanups.

A user has been repeately reporting overtemp conditions on his machine at high speed so this simple patch adds support to PowerMac cpufreq for this machine.

* [PATCH] x86_64 early numa init fixRavikiran G Thirumalai2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in 2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in numa_init_array(). cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but confusing the numa slab in the process. Here is a quick fix for this. The right fix obviously is to have cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array(). The following patch will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly. Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The up()/down() orders are incorrect in arch/x86_64/kprobes.c file. kprobe_mutext is used to protect the free kprobe instruction slot list. arch_prepare_kprobe applies for a slot from the free list, and arch_remove_kprobe returns a slot to the free list. The incorrect up()/down() orders to operate on kprobe_mutex fail to protect the free list. If 2 threads try to get/return kprobe instruction slot at the same time, the free slot list might be broken, or a free slot might be applied by 2 threads.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes for deadlocks of the ieee1394 and scsi subsystems and long delays in futile error recovery attempts when SBP-2 devices are removed or drivers are unloaded. - Complete commands quickly with DID_NO_CONNECT if the 1394 node is gone or if the 1394 low-level driver was unloaded. - Skip unnecessary work in the eh_abort_handler and eh_device_reset_handler if the node or 1394 low-level driver is gone. - Let scsi's high-level shut down gracefully when sbp2 is being unloaded or detached from the 1394 unit. A call to scsi_remove_device is added for this purpose, which requires us to store a scsi_device pointer. - scsi_device pointer is obtained from slave_alloc hook and cleared by slave_destroy. This avoids usage of the pointer after the scsi device was deleted e.g. by the user via scsi_mod's sysfs interface.

* [PATCH] ioc4_serial: Remove bogus error messageBrent Casavant2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver interrupt handler. This error message is bogus for two reasons. First, it can never occur given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that these "unknown" interrupts could never occur. Second, this code fails to take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing". Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby effectively denying use of the console device. Given its bogosity in the first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.

* [PATCH] uml: remove empty hostfs_truncate methodPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't implemented here", but it still works fine. Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything. But hostfs_setattr() -> set_attr() correctly detects ATTR_SIZE and calls truncate() on the host. So we should be safe (using ftruncate() may be better, in case the file is unlinked on the host, but we aren't sure to have the file open for writing, and reopening it would cause the same races; plus nobody should expect UML to be so careful). So, the warning is wrong, because the current implementation is working. Al, am I correct, and can the warning be therefore dropped?

* [PATCH] aio: remove unlocked task_list test and resulting raceZach Brown2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on the run list. The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY users, are updated.

* [PATCH] aio: lock around kiocbTryKick()Zach Brown2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick patch could set the Kicked bit before acquiring the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path, while holding the ctx_lock, could see this partial kick and mistake it for a kick that was deferred while it was doing work with the run_list NULLed out. It would then race with the kick thread to add the iocb to the run list. This patch moves the kick setting under the ctx_lock so that only one of the kick or run path queues the iocb on the run list, as intended.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | As requested by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>: "5d3d0f7704ed0bc7eaca0501eeae3e5da1ea6c87 breaks a couple of ARM boards, which depend on the historical bootmem allocation order. There is a cleaner solution around to remove the pgdat list completely, but this is a topic for post 2.6.14 Andi signalled ACK already." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] SELinux - fix SCTP socket bug and general IP protocol handlingJames Morris2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch updates the way SELinux classifies and handles IP based protocols. Currently, IP sockets are classified by SELinux as being either TCP, UDP or 'Raw', the latter being a default for IP socket that is not TCP or UDP. The classification code is out of date and uses only the socket type parameter to socket(2) to determine the class of IP socket. So, any socket created with SOCK_STREAM will be classified by SELinux as TCP, and SOCK_DGRAM as UDP. Also, other socket types such as SOCK_SEQPACKET and SOCK_DCCP are currently ignored by SELinux, which classifies them as generic sockets, which means they don't even get basic IP level checking. This patch changes the SELinux IP socket classification logic, so that only an IPPROTO_IP protocol value passed to socket(2) classify the socket as TCP or UDP. The patch also drops the check for SOCK_RAW and converts it into a default, so that socket types like SOCK_DCCP and SOCK_SEQPACKET are classified as SECCLASS_RAWIP_SOCKET (instead of generic sockets). Note that protocol-specific support for SCTP, DCCP etc. is not addressed here, we're just getting these protocols checked at the IP layer. This fixes a reported problem where SCTP sockets were being recognized as generic SELinux sockets yet still being passed in one case to an IP level check, which then fails for generic sockets. It will also fix bugs where any SOCK_STREAM socket is classified as TCP or any SOCK_DGRAM socket is classified as UDP. This patch also unifies the way IP sockets classes are determined in selinux_socket_bind(), so we use the already calculated value instead of trying to recalculate it.

* [PATCH] i386: include linux/irq.h rather than asm/hw_irq.hNick Piggin2005-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | I need the following patch to compile -git8 here, otherwise these files fail to compile (asm/hw_irq.h needs definitions from linux/irq.h and that file provides the required include ordering). I did not do a full audit, though there looks to be many other places that should get the same treatment, if this is the right way to do it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
