2009-03-26[S390] check addressing mode in s390_enable_sieCarsten Otte
The sie instruction requires address spaces to be switched to run proper. This patch verifies that this is the case in s390_enable_sie, otherwise the kernel would crash badly as soon as the process runs into sie.

2009-03-26loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()Nikanth Karthikesan
With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled $ losetup /dev/loop0 file $ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0 $ losetup -d /dev/loop1 $ losetup -d /dev/loop0 triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] I think this warning is a false positive. Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock. So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some other real bugs. @@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ static int lo_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, struct loop_device *lo = bdev->bd_disk->private_data; int err; - mutex_lock(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex); + mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1); switch (cmd) { case LOOP_SET_FD: err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg); Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be a better solution. Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex held, so no lockdep annotation is required. If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the LOOP_CLR_FD ioctl in lo_ioctl(), the mutex handling could be moved inside each of the individual ioctl handlers and I could send you another patch.

2009-03-26e1000e: fix loss of multicast packetsJesse Brandeburg
e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each time a multicast address is added. The flow goes something like 1) stack adds one multicast address 2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to driver 3) driver clears entire list in hardware 4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming process. reference with test program: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/14/5160514/thread Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program. This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle.

2009-03-25sched: Optimize the !power_savings_balance during fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization We don't need to perform power_savings balance if either the cpu is NOT_IDLE or if the sched_domain doesn't contain the SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE flag set. Currently, we check for these conditions multiple number of times, even though these variables don't change over the scope of find_busiest_group(). Check once, and store the value in the already exiting "power_savings_balance" variable.

2009-03-25sched: Create a helper function to calculate imbalanceGautham R Shenoy
Move all the imbalance calculation out of find_busiest_group() through this helper function. With this change, the structure of find_busiest_group() will be as follows: - update_sched_domain_statistics. - check if imbalance exits. - update imbalance and return busiest.

2009-03-25sched: Create helper to calculate small_imbalance in fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup We have two places in find_busiest_group() where we need to calculate the minor imbalance before returning the busiest group. Encapsulate this functionality into a seperate helper function.

2009-03-25sched: Create a helper function to calculate sched_domain stats for fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup Create a helper function named update_sd_lb_stats() to update the various sched_domain related statistics in find_busiest_group(). With this we would have moved all the statistics computation out of find_busiest_group().

2009-03-25sched: Define structure to store the sched_domain statistics for fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup Currently we use a lot of local variables in find_busiest_group() to capture the various statistics related to the sched_domain. Group them together into a single data structure. This will help us to offload the job of updating the sched_domain statistics to a helper function.

2009-03-25sched: Create a helper function to calculate sched_group stats for fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup Create a helper function named update_sg_lb_stats() which can be invoked to calculate the individual group's statistics in find_busiest_group(). This reduces the lenght of find_busiest_group() considerably.
