* [PATCH] Add emergency_restart()Eric W. Biederman2005-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler. This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more trying circumstances. This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Refactor sys_reboot into reusable partsEric W. Biederman2005-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | Because the factors of sys_reboot don't exist people calling into the reboot path duplicate the code badly, leading to inconsistent expectations of code in the reboot path.

| * [SCSI] fix function prototype warningJames Bottomley2005-07-14

| * [SCSI] add int_to_scsilun() functionJames.Smart@Emulex.Com2005-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the issues we had was reverting the midlayers lun value into the 8byte lun value that we wanted to send to the device. Historically, there's been some combination of byte swapping, setting high/low, etc. There's also been no common thread between how our driver did it and others. I also got very confused as to why byteswap routines were being used. Anyway, this patch is a LLDD-callable function that reverts the midlayer's lun value, stored in an int, to the 8-byte quantity (note: this is not the real 8byte quantity, just the same amount that scsilun_to_int() was able to convert and store originally). This also solves the dilemma of the thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112116767118981&w=2 A patch for the lpfc driver to use this function will be along in a few days (batched with other patches).

The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation, but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related. This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now. To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

Instead hooks are used to fixup pci structures. This patch determines the nodes for Altix PCI busses. Remote Bridges: --------------- Altix supports remote I/O nodes without memory or processors but with bridges. The TIOCA type of bridge is an AGP bridge and the PROM provides information about the closest node. That information will be returned by pcibus_to_node. The TIOCP remote bridge type is a PCI bridge but the PROM does not provide a closest node id. pcibus_to_node will return -1 for devices on those bridges meaning that device control structures may be allocated on any node. Safeguard: ---------- Should the fixups result in invalid node information for a pci controller then a warning will be printed and pcibus_to_node will return -1. This patch also fixes the "FIXME" in sn_dma_alloc_coherent. This means that dma_alloc_coherent will now use alloc_pages_node to allocate memory local to the node that the PCI device is connected to.
