| * [MIPS] Fix bug in atomic_sub_if_positive.Ralf Baechle2008-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The branch optimization fixes in 2.6.21 introduced a bug in atomic_sub_if_positive that causes it to return even when the sc instruction fails. The result is that e.g. down_trylock becomes unreliable as the semaphore counter is not always decremented. Original MUA-shredded patch from Morten Larsen <mlarsen@broadcom.com>.

| * slub: Do not use 192 byte sized cache if minimum alignment is 128 byteChristoph Lameter2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128 byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry. MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without this patch.

| * | Properly notify block layer of sync writesJens Axboe2008-07-01

Conceptually, that makes them sync writes and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle them appropriately. This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of synchronous IO in the system: INFO: task kjournald:20558 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

However, lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code in the path leading to a failure to chain it. Also use a cleaer comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them. Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just drop the incoming packets. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline", as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline" logic is crucial for generic kernel build. So - just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline" functions are also "extern inline"; - use "static inline", wherever it's possible. traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array bounds-checking. TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline" functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G. The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation. I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

This means, in theory, we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte. The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn. This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44 bits wide. Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size. This is a bugfix for two cases: 1. running a 32-bit PAE kernel on a machine with more than 64GB RAM. 2. running a 32-bit PAE Xen guest on a host machine with more than 64GB RAM In both cases, a pte could need to have more than 36 bits of physical, and masking it to 36-bits will cause fairly severe havoc.
