A wrong function was being used to free a list; this fixes the problem.
Otherwise, an oops at unload time was possible. But not likely, since you
can't have any users when you unload the modules and it is very hard to get
messages into this queue without users.

The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.
Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.
Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.
Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.
Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.
So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.
With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

When ACPI && NUMA, pxm_to_node is used and it exists in drivers/acpi/numa.c
Tony said:
The patch makes sense ... if you pick both of "ACPI" and "NUMA", then you
need (and should automatically be given) ACPI_NUMA too.
The only open question is whether there is a better way of getting there.
Perhaps with less configuration options in the first place? We are heading
towards a future where so many systems will be NUMA that there would seem to
be little benefit in keeping ACPI_NUMA separate from ACPI ... but perhaps
we aren't quite there yet.

There are two bugs in the kretprobe-booster.
1) It doesn't make room for gs registers.
2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe. This status will
effect the fault handling.
This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves skipped registers for
compatibility with the original kretprobe.

If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
file for saving the swsusp's suspend image. Also, this file should be
available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
the suspend image is created.
For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

There is a race between dev_create() and find_device().
If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to
behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a
dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took.
The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch.
It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created
device while the device creation ioctl is still running. The consequence is
that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted. Certain udev
configurations can lead to this happening.

In the case where an open creates the file, we shouldn't be rechecking
permissions to open the file; the open succeeds regardless of what the new
file's mode bits say.
This patch fixes the problem, but only by introducing yet another parameter
to nfsd_create_v3. This is ugly. This will be fixed by later patches.

If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some,
ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace"
behavior that is introduced.. and which runs too early. The result is a
boot hang; which is really nasty.
The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19
by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot. (That
is a good idea in general anyway)
The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario
(during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but
the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at
least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

Fixes Samba bugzilla #4176
When users do not specify their domain on mount, 2.6.18 started sending
default domain instead of a null domain (which was the only way on some
servers to use a default domain). Users of 2.6.18 who did not specify
their domain name on mounts to certain common Windows servers that were
members of a domain, but not the domain controller, would get mount
failures which they did not get in 2.6.18
This fixes that issue and should remove complaints about mount
behavior changing.

* merom:v2.6/linux:
x86-64: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct order
x86-64: clean up io-apic accesses
|
|
This is the x86-64 version of f9dadfa71bc594df09044da61d1c72701121d802
that did the same thing on i386.
Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we
need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it.
The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which
case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word
doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

This is just commit 130fe05dbc0114609cfef9815c0c5580b42decfa ported to
x86-64, for all the same reasons. It cleans up the IO-APIC accesses in
order to then fix the ordering issues.
We move the accessor functions (that were only used by io_apic.c) out of
a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than making
up our own "volatile" pointers.

This reverts commit de09bddb9d6f96785be470c832b881e6d72d589f. It tried
to reserve the MMCONFIG mmio memory ranges, but since the MMCONFIG
information is broken and often bogus (which is why we don't dare use it
most of the time _anyway_), it does more harm than good.

though they contained valid struct page entries. This
could cause incorrect debugging output or even a kernel

This patch keeps the struct meminfo around after system
initialization so that show_mem() can use it when
scanning memory. show_mem() now walks over each bank
of each online node, rather than assuming that each node
contains a single contiguous bank.
