| | * [PATCH] tty buffering stall fixPaul Fulghum2006-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prevent stalled processing of received data when a driver allocates tty buffer space but does not immediately follow the allocation with more data and a call to schedule receive tty processing. (example: hvc_console) This bug was introduced by the first locking patch for the new tty buffering.

| | * [PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all onesAndrew Morton2006-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive. b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory. I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug case. Should be OK.. I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing that.

| | * [PATCH] kexec: fix in free initrd when overlapped with crashkernel regionHaren Myneni2006-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see the similar issue even on other archs. One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But, the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel memory in case overlaps. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

| | * [NETLINK]: Fix a severe bugAlexey Kuznetsov2006-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink. Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket, so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be, and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock of rtnetlink. Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional argument to netlink_attachskb(). A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases: 1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot wait for buffer space. 2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered to some recipients.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement ata_scsi_timed_out(), to be used as scsi_host_template->eh_timed_out callback for all libata drivers. Without this function, the following race exists. If a qc completes after SCSI timer expires but before libata EH kicks in, the qc gets completed but the scsicmd still gets passed to libata EH resulting in ->eng_timeout invocation with NULL qc, which none is handling properly.

This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference at the head page - net result is a memory leak. The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself actually did take compound pages into consideration. Fix the bug and the debug check.

The patch below results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC. So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the transaction. (Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance testing it) Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE: /usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name Unpatched: 40 seconds Patched: 35 seconds Batching disabled: 35 seconds This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch. Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10 dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same transaction anyway. The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd years ago... Cc: "Stephen C.

This causes it to overflow packet length values of 128KB or more. I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this. The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail the operation and refuse to access the media.
