* | mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"KOSAKI Motohiro2009-08-18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM. However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process. Why? His program has the code of similar to the following. ... set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */ ... if (vfork() == 0) { set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */ execve("foo-bar-cmd"); } .... vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler) lost OOM immune and it was killed. Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program. We must not break this assumption. Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely, but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers, either. That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong enough reason to find a way to fix this code. Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3 support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is indeed useful for them.

* | | | sysrq, kdump: make sysrq-c consistentHidetoshi Seto2009-07-29
| |_|/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

The loop iteration should have set $prevlen = $currlen at the end of the loop, and the if() check should have used && instead of || for deciding if the firmware length is reasonable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This webcam uses a em2710 chipset, that identifies itself as em2820, plus a mt9v011 sensor, and a DY-301P lens. It needs a few different initializations than a normal em28xx device. Thanks to Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> and Douglas Landgraf <dougsland@redhat.com> for providing the acces for the webcam during this weekend, I could make a patch for it while returning back from FISL/Fudcom LATAM 2009.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | extraction Add routine to support extracting the MT352 DVB-T demodulator initialization sequence for Yuan MPC718 cards for use by the cx18 driver. This routine uses a hueristic for extracting a good sequence. It should work on all different versions of the "yuanrap.sys" file, given the way the MT352 tuning sequences are stored in all versions of that file I have seen so far. However, the current patch simply looks for one specific archive URL. Signed-off-by: Andy Walls <awalls@radix.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
