2006-05-15[PATCH] add slab_is_available() routine for boot codeMike Kravetz
slab_is_available() indicates slab based allocators are available for use. SPARSEMEM code needs to know this as it can be called at various times during the boot process.

2006-05-15[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernelTrent Piepho
Even since a previous patch: Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000) http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel. symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course. This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address uses) ourselves.

With "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface. This can be used to tell if there will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer.

2006-05-12[NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.Simon Kelley
The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff> ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete() neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code. Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate and often wrong. To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4 ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt to complete that entry by doing ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable Looking at the ARP tables by using ip neigh show will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp. This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family. The init call in clip.c is changed to call neigh_table_init_no_netlink(). Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with which to find the correct ARP table. [ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Simon Kelley <simon@thekelleys.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-05-08[PATCH] x86_64: Avoid EBDA area in early boot allocatorAndi Kleen
Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region. EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable. If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.

2006-05-08[PATCH] x86_64: avoid IRQ0 ioapic pin collisionKimball Murray
The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

2006-05-05[PATCH] softmac: make non-operational after being stoppedDaniel Drake
zd1211 with softmac and wpa_supplicant revealed an issue with softmac and the use of workqueues. Some of the work functions actually reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during ieee80211softmac_stop(). This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that rescheduling does not happen in this situation. I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac and before turning off the ZD1211 radio.

2006-05-03powerpc: Fix incorrect might_sleep in __get_user/__put_user on kernel addressesPaul Mackerras
We have a case where __get_user and __put_user can validly be used on kernel addresses in interrupt context - namely, the alignment exception handler, as our get/put_unaligned just do a single access and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware. Thus we can get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level. The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the instruction and blows up in might_sleep(). Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep, this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less than PAGE_OFFSET. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
