2006-08-27[PATCH] swsusp: Fix swap_type_ofRafael J. Wysocki

2006-08-27[PATCH] dm: Fix deadlock under high i/o load in raid1 setup.Daniel Kobras
On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid, we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat /dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates that this problem has been around even before. So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a deadlock. I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git (2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on 2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a stable system.

2006-08-26[DCCP]: Fix CCID3Ian McDonald
This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342. CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss. The performance was verified against: http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters: Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%. This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research properly. I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2 msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch at around 30 Mbit/s. Signed off by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-08-26[IPV6]: Segmentation offload not set correctly on TCP childrenStephen Hemminger

2006-08-26[PATCH] PCI: use PCBIOS as last fallbackDaniel Ritz
there was a change in 2.6.17 which affected the order in which the PCI access methods are probed. this gives regressions on some machines with broken BIOS. the problem is that PCBIOS sometimes reports last bus wrong, leaving cardbus non-funcational. previously those system worked fine with direct access. The patch changes the PCI init code to have PCBIOS as last fallback, yet the PCBIOS code still has to run first to set pcibios_last_bus to the value reported by the BIOS. this is needed in case legacy PCI probing (arch/i386/pci/legacy.c) is used to detect peer busses. using direct access if available fixes the cardbus problems.

2006-08-26[PATCH] hwmon: abituguru timeout fixesHans de Goede
This patch contains 2 sets of fixes for the abituguru: 1) Much improved timeout handling, drasticly reducing the amount of timeout errors on some motherboards 2) Fix the exit paths in the bank1 sensor type detect code to always restore the original settings even on an error. Without this our special test settings could remain seriously confusing the system BIOS's setup menu. Both are very much related and are must haves, to avoid messing up the uguru CMOS settings. Detailed changes: - Much improved timeout / wait for status handling. Many thanks to Sunil Kumar, for all his testing, ideas and patches! The code now first busy waits, polling the uguru for the expected status as this usually succeeds pretty quickly (within 90 reads). To avoid unnecessary CPU burn in timeout conditions, the amount of busy waiting has been halved from previous versions (120 tries instead of 250). This is not a problem, because this version goes to sleep after 120 attemps for 1 jiffy and then tries again, it does this sleep and try again 5 times before finally giving up. This (almost?) completly removes the timeout errors some people have seen regulary. Apparently some older uguru versions sometimes are distracted for a (relatively) long time. This solves this. - These timeout errors not only occur in the sending address part of reading the uguru but also in the wait for read state, so errors in this state are now handled as retryable just like send address state errors and are only logged and reported to userspace if 3 executive tries fail. - Fix a very nasty bug in the bank1 sensor type detection code, where it would not restore the original settings in any of the error paths! - Since not successfully restoring the original settings can seriously confuse the system BIOS (hang when entering the relevant setup menu), we now try restoring them 3 times before giving up.

2006-08-26[SCSI] fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd regressionMike Christie
The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer, and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with data and scatterlists. This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this fixes a regression added when we removed some of the scsi_cmnd fields and replaced them with local variables.

Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of NFS4 readdir reply data. Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine). Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014).

2006-08-24VFS: add lookup hint for network file systemsASANO Masahiro
I'm trying to speeding up mkdir(2) for network file systems. A typical mkdir(2) calls two inode_operations: lookup and mkdir. The lookup operation would fail with ENOENT in common case. I think it is unnecessary because the subsequent mkdir operation can check it. In case of creat(2), lookup operation is called with the LOOKUP_CREATE flag, so individual filesystem can omit real lookup. e.g. nfs_lookup(). Here is a sample patch which uses LOOKUP_CREATE and O_EXCL on mkdir, symlink and mknod. This uses the gadget for creat(2).
