2009-08-07mwl8k: fix NULL pointer dereference on receive out-of-memoryLennert Buytenhek
When we go into out-of-memory and fail to allocate skbuffs to refill the receive ring with, rxq_process can end up running into a receive ring entry that is marked as host-owned but doesn't have an associated skbuff. If this happens, we must break out of the rx processing loop instead of trying to process the descriptor.

2009-08-07[S390] kernel: Storing machine flags early in lowcoreHendrik Brueckner
Currently, the machine_flags are stored late in the startup initialization which results in failing machine type checks (e.g. for MACHINE_IS_VM). To allow these checks, store the machine flags in the lowcore when the machine type has been detected. Moving the machine_flags to the lowcore has been introduced with git commit 25097bf153391f7be4c591d47061b3dc4990dac2 Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2009-08-07tracing: Fix recordmcount.pl to handle sections with only weak functionsSteven Rostedt
Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak function in one of the staging drivers and this caused recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail. Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and this function only be used in one place, it should not be something to make recordmcount.pl fail. This patch fixes the issue in a simple manner: if only weak functions exist in a section, then that section will not be recorded.

2009-08-06net: Avoid enqueuing skb for default qdiscsKrishna Kumar
dev_queue_xmit enqueue's a skb and calls qdisc_run which dequeue's the skb and xmits it. In most cases, the skb that is enqueue'd is the same one that is dequeue'd (unless the queue gets stopped or multiple cpu's write to the same queue and ends in a race with qdisc_run). For default qdiscs, we can remove the redundant enqueue/dequeue and simply xmit the skb since the default qdisc is work-conserving. The patch uses a new flag - TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to identify the default fast queue. The controversial part of the patch is incrementing qlen when a skb is requeued - this is to avoid checks like the second line below: + } else if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS) && !qdisc_qlen(q) && >> !q->gso_skb && + !test_and_set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING, &q->state)) { Results of a 2 hour testing for multiple netperf sessions (1, 2, 4, 8, 12 sessions on a 4 cpu system-X).

2009-08-06ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek()Robert Richter
When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is called twice.

One line added by commit 2c2e2c38("IOMMU Identity Mapping Support") change the code path, let it bypass domain_update_iommu_cap(), as well as missing the increment of domain iommu reference count.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific. Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called: LM93_IN_FROM_REG() But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have: Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>: 0: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 4: fb 81 ff e0 std r28,-32(r1) The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly stage. The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the --synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a local. Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case, we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it back to a local symbol. This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain unresolved.

2009-08-05ring-buffer: do not disable ring buffer on oops_in_progressSteven Rostedt
The commit: commit e0fdace10e75dac67d906213b780ff1b1a4cc360 Author: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Date: Fri Aug 1 01:11:22 2008 -0700 debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages. Otherwise lock debugging messages on runqueue locks can deadlock the system due to the wakeups performed by printk(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Will permanently set oops_in_progress on any lockdep failure. When this triggers it will cause any read from the ring buffer to permanently disable the ring buffer (not to mention no locking of printk). This patch removes the check. It keeps the print in NMI which makes sense. This is probably OK, since the ring buffer should not cause something to set oops_in_progress anyway. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-05ring-buffer: fix check of try_to_discard resultSteven Rostedt
The function ring_buffer_discard_commit inversed the code path of the result of try_to_discard. It should skip incrementing the entry counter if try_to_discard succeeded. But instead, it increments the entry conder if it succeeded to discard, and does not increment it if it fails. The result of this bug is that filtering will make the stat counters incorrect.
