2006-01-02[PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h>Dag-Erling Smørgrav
In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64 <asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the configurable timer frequency. However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros. This greatly confuses software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros themselves to control the inclusion of optional features. After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-12-27[IPV6] mcast: Fix multiple issues in MLDv2 reports.David L Stevens
The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2. 1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)] 2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch] 3) fix "mld_marksources()" to a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are not excluded c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the machine. 4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that short-circuit case, and also generates the group header with an empty list if needed. 5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs its original value These issues (other than item #1 ;-) ) were all found by Yan Zheng, much thanks!

Fix n_r3964 timeouts (hardcoded for 100Hz) Also the include of <asm/termios.h> in 'n_r3964.h' is unnecessary and prevents using the header file in any application that has to include <termios.h> due to duplicate definition of 'struct termio'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Fixes a compiler error in node_to_first_cpu, __ffs expects unsigned long as a parameter; instead cpumask_t was being passed. The macro node_to_first_cpu was not yet used in x86_64 and ia64 arches, and so we never hit this. This patch replaces __ffs with first_cpu macro, similar to other arches.

2005-12-22[PATCH] fix race with preempt_enable()Nicolas Pitre
Currently a simple void foo(void) { preempt_enable(); } produces the following code on ARM: foo: bic r3, sp, #8128 bic r3, r3, #63 ldr r2, [r3, #4] ldr r1, [r3, #0] sub r2, r2, #1 tst r1, #4 str r2, [r3, #4] blne preempt_schedule mov pc, lr The problem is that the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is loaded _before_ the preemption count is stored back, hence any interrupt coming within that 3 instruction window causing TIF_NEED_RESCHED to be set won't be seen and scheduling won't happen as it should. Nothing currently prevents gcc from performing that reordering. There is already a barrier() before the decrement of the preemption count, but another one is needed between this and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag test for proper code ordering.

2005-12-21[PATCH] include/linux/irq.h: #include <linux/smp.h>Adrian Bunk
Jan's crosscompile page [1] shows, that one regression in 2.6.15-rc is that the v850 defconfig does no longer compile. The compile error is: <-- snip --> ... CC arch/v850/kernel/setup.o In file included from /usr/src/ctest/rc/kernel/arch/v850/kernel/setup.c:17: /usr/src/ctest/rc/kernel/include/linux/irq.h:13:43: asm/smp.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [arch/v850/kernel/setup.o] Error 1 <-- snip --> The #include <asm/smp.h> in irq.h was intruduced in 2.6.15-rc. Since include/linux/irq.h needs code from asm/smp.h only in the CONFIG_SMP=y case and linux/smp.h #include's asm/smp.h only in the CONFIG_SMP=y case, I'm suggesting this patch to #include <linux/smp.h> in irq.h.

2005-12-20[PATCH] relayfs: remove warning printk() in relay_switch_subbuf()Tom Zanussi
There's currently a diagnostic printk in relay_switch_subbuf() meant as a warning if you accidentally try to log an event larger than the sub-buffer size. The problem is if this happens while logging from somewhere it's not safe to be doing printks, such as in the scheduler, you can end up with a deadlock. This patch removes the warning from relay_switch_subbuf() and instead prints some diagnostic info when the channel is closed.

2005-12-16[IA64] disable preemption in udelay()John Hawkes
The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may be too short or very, very long. This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall desired udelay time. This minimizes preemption-holdoffs. udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

2005-12-15[SCSI] fix for fc transport recursion problem.James.Smart@Emulex.Com
In the scenario that a link was broken, the devloss timer for each rport was expire at roughly the same time, causing lots of "delete" workqueue items being queued. Depth is dependent upon the number of rports that were on the link. The rport target remove calls were calling flush_scheduled_work(), which would interrupt the stream, and start the next workqueue item, which did the same thing, and so on until recursion depth was large. This fix stops the recursion in the initial delete path, and pushes it off to a host-level work item that reaps the dead rports. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2005-12-12[PATCH] fbdev: Fix incorrect unaligned access in little-endian machinesAntonino A. Daplas
The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not unsigned-long aligned. It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not complete drawn. Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines. The function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug.

2005-12-12[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced versionKnut Petersen
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.
