* [PATCH] include/linux/irq.h: #include <linux/smp.h>Adrian Bunk2005-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jan's crosscompile page [1] shows, that one regression in 2.6.15-rc is that the v850 defconfig does no longer compile. The compile error is: <-- snip --> ... CC arch/v850/kernel/setup.o In file included from /usr/src/ctest/rc/kernel/arch/v850/kernel/setup.c:17: /usr/src/ctest/rc/kernel/include/linux/irq.h:13:43: asm/smp.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [arch/v850/kernel/setup.o] Error 1 <-- snip --> The #include <asm/smp.h> in irq.h was intruduced in 2.6.15-rc. Since include/linux/irq.h needs code from asm/smp.h only in the CONFIG_SMP=y case and linux/smp.h #include's asm/smp.h only in the CONFIG_SMP=y case, I'm suggesting this patch to #include <linux/smp.h> in irq.h. I've tested the compilation with both CONFIG_SMP=y and CONFIG_SMP=n on i386.

* [PATCH] relayfs: remove warning printk() in relay_switch_subbuf()Tom Zanussi2005-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's currently a diagnostic printk in relay_switch_subbuf() meant as a warning if you accidentally try to log an event larger than the sub-buffer size. The problem is if this happens while logging from somewhere it's not safe to be doing printks, such as in the scheduler, you can end up with a deadlock. This patch removes the warning from relay_switch_subbuf() and instead prints some diagnostic info when the channel is closed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I reported a problem and gave hints to the solution, but nobody seemed to react. So I prepared a patch against 2.6.14.4. Tested on 2.6.14.4 with "ip monitor addr" and with the program attached, while adding and removing IPv6 address. Both programs didn't receive any messages. Tested 2.6.14.4 + this patch, and both programs received add and remove messages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not unsigned-long aligned. It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not complete drawn.

* [PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced versionKnut Petersen2005-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that inotify will watch. It introduces two new flags. IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory. This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be sure that we are watching a directory. IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink. In combination with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of symlinks.

* [PATCH] Add timestamp field to process eventsMatt Helsley2005-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event connector. The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also avoiding the addition of per-task data. This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2 were released as a mainline kernel.

* [PATCH] add rcu_barrier() synchronization pointDipankar Sarma2005-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all the RCUs queued until this call have been completed. Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU callbacks are executed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even when there is still a lot of swap free. The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the system that is swappable. Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.
