[PATCH] Trivial APM update part 1
Hi Marcelo, Linus,
This is the first of a series of patches I have got from Thomas Hood
that modify the apm code mainly for better self documentation.
This one does:
Variable "waiting_for_resume" is renamed 'ignore_sys_suspend'.
The reason for the change is that this flag variable is
employed in a manner analogous to that of other flag variables
named 'ignore ...'. When the flag is set, the driver needs to
ignore further system suspends. The driver does not "wait"
in the usual sense of that word. The only sense in which the
driver waits is the sense in which it needs to continue to
ignore system suspends until certain events occur. One such
event is a resume. However, another such event is the vetoing
of the suspend request by a driver. So it would be more
accurate to call the flag 'waiting_for_resume_or_suspend_reject'
or something like that. But for the reason mentioned first,
an even better name is 'ignore_sys_suspend'.
Patch against 2.4.19-pre3, but applies to 2.5.6 (with a small offset).

[PATCH] APM patch: change implementation of ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY
Hi Marcelo, Linus,
Number 6
This patch cleans up the way the ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY macro
forces calling of the APM BIOS busy routine. Instead
of storing a false value in clock_slowed, we disjoin
clock_slowed with the value of ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY. This
simplifies the code.

[PATCH] APM patch: apm_cpu_idle cleanups
Hi Marcelo, Linus,
Number 7.
This patch contains four cleanup changes whose aim
is better code self-documentation (the best way to
document IMHO). They are sent together because they
overlap.
1. Rename the variable "sys_idle" to 'original_pm_idle'.
This is where we store the value that we find in pm_idle before
we substitute the address of our own apm_cpu_idle() function.
In principle we have no idea whose address this is, so
the variable name shouldn't imply that we know that this is
the address of a system idle function; it should simply
indicate that it is the original value of pm_idle.
2. Variable "apm_is_idle" is renamed 'apm_idle_done'.
This flag indicates when apm_do_idle() has been called.
It is a premise of apm_cpu_idle()'s operation that it is
not known whether the apm_do_idle() function really idles
the CPU. The name of the flag should not lead one to
believe otherwise.
3. Variable "t1" is renamed 'bucket'. The variable is not
a time but a countdown ("bucket"), so the variable name
should not lead one to believe it is some sort of time
value.
4. A default: case is added to the switch in order to
remind the reader that there is a third possible return
value from apm_do_idle().
Patch against 2.4.19-pre3, applies to 2.5.6 with some fuzz.

[PATCH] PATCH: add MWI support to PCI
This code has existed and been stable in various drivers/net/*.c drivers
for a while.
As applied in 2.5, these API functions allows a driver to control the
PCI Memory-Write-Invalidate transaction, which is a performance speedup
for newer boards, but more importantly a requirement on some hardware.

[PATCH] PATCH: starfire updates
LK1.3.6 (Ion Badulescu)
- Sparc64 support and fixes
- Better stats and error handling
<jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com> (02/03/13 1.169)
[PATCH] PATCH: tulip use pci_set_mwi
Fix tulip bugs in _experimental_, non-default MWI code path.
Use new pci_set_mwi to save code and fix more bugs.
<jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com> (02/03/13 1.170)
[PATCH] PATCH: starfire use pci_set_mwi
Update starfire driver to use pci_set_mwi, fixing one bug
(cache_line_size setting should go before mwi bit set) and saves some
code.
Kernel compatibility is updated, so this driver works on kernels without
the new pci_set_mwi function too.

[PATCH] fix layout of mapped files
If you create a shared mapping of a sparse file, dirty it
and then run msync, all the file's blocks are laid out
backwards:
mnm:/mnt/sda6> 0 bmap foo
0-0: 530-530 (1)
1-1: 529-529 (1)
2-2: 528-528 (1)
3-3: 527-527 (1)
4-4: 526-526 (1)
5-5: 525-525 (1)
6-6: 524-524 (1)
7-7: 523-523 (1)
8-8: 522-522 (1)
9-9: 521-521 (1)
10-10: 520-520 (1)
11-11: 519-519 (1)
12-12: 518-518 (1)
13-13: 517-517 (1)
14-14: 516-516 (1)
15-15: 515-515 (1)
This is because filemap_sync puts the lowest-index page at
mapping->dirty_pages.prev and the highest at mapping->dirty_pages.next.
I think that by walking the dirty pages list in ascending file
offset order as we instantiate their disk mappings we will generally
get better layout.
mnm:/mnt/sda6> 0 bmap foo2
0-11: 531-542 (12)
12-15: 544-547 (4)

[PATCH] export IO_APIC_get_PCI_irq_vector for IBM PCI Hotplug driver
Hi,
Here's a patch against 2.4.19-pre2 that exports a symbol that is needed
by the IBM PCI hotplug driver if it is built as a module.
thanks,

[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre3 rename duplicate partition_name()
ksymoops gets confused by two symbols called partition_name when one of
them is exported. Since the version in fs/partitions/msdos.c is local,
rename it, leave the version in drivers/md/md.c alone.

[PATCH] more lseek cleanup
Marcelo,
The -ac merge in 2.4.19-pre3 merged the majority of my 2.4 lseek
cleanup, but not all. The following patch continues the cleanup by
removing more instances of reimplementations of no_llseek and having the
driver in question use no_llseek.
Most of these are in a later -ac release. Patch is against 2.4.19-pre3,
please apply.

<rml@tech9.net> (02/03/14 1.175)
[PATCH] 2.4: UFS lseek cleanup
Marcelo,
The following patch continues the 2.4 lseek cleanup by removing a
redundant ufs_file_lseek implementation and having UFS use the standard
generic_file_llseek.
Al (who signed off on this for 2.5) says the implementation assumed it
needed explicit size checking, but the standard generic_file_llseek does
this just fine. So it is redundant and a sane cleanup. The patch is
already in -ac, but not in 2.4.19-pre3.
This is against 2.4.19-pre3, please apply.

A day's tweaking later, and I'm getting 810mbit/s with netperf between
two Athlons with default settings (1500 byte packets). What I've found
is that increasing the size of the RX/TX rings or the max sizes of the
tcp r/wmem backlogs really slows things down, so I'm not doing that
anymore. The pair of P3s shows 262mbit/s (up from 67).
Interrupt mitigation is now pretty stupid, but it helped: the irq
handler disables the rx interrupt and then triggers a tasklet to run
through the rx ring. The tasklet later enables rx interrupts again.
More tweaking tomorrow...
Marcelo, please apply the patch below to the next 2.4 prepatch: it
also has a fix for a tx hang problem, and a few other nasties. Thanks!

[PATCH] dnotify
Hi Marcelo, Linus,
The following patch makes directory notifications per thread group instead
of per process tree as they are now. This means, in particular, that if
a child closes a file descriptor that has a directory open with notifies
enabled, the notification will not be removed.
Thanks to Andrea for the push in the right direction.
Patch against 2.4.19-pre3, but also applies to 2.5.6 with a small offset.

[PATCH] Fix 2.4.19-pre3 NFS client file creation
Hi Marcelo,
The following patch fixes a bug in NFS file creation. Recently (not
sure exactly when), open_namei() was changed so that it expects
vfs_create() to always return a fully instantiated dentry for the new
file.
The following patch ensures this is done in the cases where the RPC
CREATE call does not return valid attributes/filehandles. This is
always the case for NFSv2, and can sometimes be the case for v3...
Cheers,
Trond

[PATCH] Fix 2.4.19-pre3 NFS reads from holding a write leases.
Hi,
The VFS does not like us holding the 'write_access' lease on a
file for too long. The function 'get_write_access()' gets called on an
inode whenever a struct file is created for writing, and is only
released on the last fput() of that struct file.
NFS caches the struct file in the nfs_page in order to access
the RPC credentials that are cached in the filp->private_data area.
Unfortunately this means that both NFS reads and writes can end up
prolonging the write_access lease beyond the end of the 'sys_close()'.
The following patch changes the NFS code so that it caches the RPC
credentials directly in the nfs_page. The struct file is still kept
around for ordinary writes, in order that we can report asynchronous
write errors in sys_close() via filp->f_error.
Cheers,
Trond

[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre3 NFS close-to-open fixes
Hi,
The following patch implements close-to-open semantics for the 2.4.x
series.
Most programs rely on NFS always checking the data cache integrity
on file open() (and then flushing out all writes on close()). This is
the same patch that was included in 2.5.x.
Issues fixed:
- Use the directory mtime in order to give us a hint when we should
check for namespace changes.
- Add support for the 'nocto' flag, in order to turn off the strict
attribute cache revalidation on file open().
- Simplify inode lookup. Don't check the 'fsid' field (which appears
to be buggy in too many servers in order to be reliable). Instead
we only rely on the inode number (a.k.a. 'fileid') and the
(supposedly unique) filehandle.
Cheers,
Trond
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> (02/03/14 1.181)
[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre3 NFS close-to-open fix part 2 (VFS change)
Hi,
The following patch fixes the one remaining hole in the
NFS close-to-open checking. It is due to the VFS assuming that it
doesn't have to revalidate the dentry when one does open("."), or
open(".."). This means that the NFS layer is never notified that it
needs to check the data cache integrity for this case.
Al has said he plans to plug this hole in 2.5.x as part of his unionfs
changes, however we also need a fix in 2.4.x. Other networked
filesystems (Alan has mentioned OpenGFS) are also having the same
problem...
Unless Al has a different suggestion (Al?), the following patch
inserts the necessary lines into link_path_walk().
Cheers,
Trond
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/13 1.182)
Sparc64 updates and fixes:
1) Add kernel stack overflow debugger, from Kanoj Sarcar.
2) Initialize FHC irq mapping registers early so we do not
scribble over the settings done by Zilog request_irq
3) Fix misintepretation of EBUS device reg properties.
4) Add Tunnel, random, and VLAN ioctl32 translations.
5) Fix PCI IRQ probing in certain bridging situations.
6) IPIs can sometimes mistakedly run a BH when IRQs are
disabled, fix this by rescheduling IPIs to PIL based
interrupts. Bug discovered by Kanoj Sarcar.
7) Work around some hw bugs in Schizo PCI controllers.
8) Fix ramdisk image handling ifdefs, from Ben Collins.
9) Handle better clock probing in the presence of both
EBUS and ISA bridges.
10) Make set_brkpt work on UltraSPARC-III by not assuming
anything about the layout of the rest of the LSU_CONTROL
register.
11) Add missing file->fd[] locking in Solaris emulation layer.
12) Include linux/in6.h in asm/checksum.h
13) Fix some FHC controller register offsets, luckily they
are currently unreferenced.

Kill unused variable warnings in sunlance driver.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/14 1.181.2.1)
Networking updates and fixes:
1) Clean up ifdefs in netfilter conntrack header.
2) Make sock_writeable (used by datagram protocols mostly) much
more reasonable. Kill SOCK_MIN_WRITE_SPACE and replace references
with appropriate sock_writeable calls. The gem discovered by this
fix in the sunrpc code was particularly amusing.
3) In IPV4 output, do not use read/modify/write cycles to set the
frag_off field of the IP header. This avoid pipeline stalls
in this hot path.
4) CONFIG_NETLINK died, do not reference it in netfilter Config.in
5) Move IRC support make rules into appropriate groups.
6) Export more NAT netfilter symbols.
7) In ipt_REJECT module, do not use xchg on potentially unaligned
pointers.
8) In ipt_REJECT, do not out ICMP packets with IP_DF set.
9) Fix networking procfs nodes that report large inode numbers
as negative.
10) When creating a timewait bucket, put it into the bind hashes
first, then the established hash. This avoids races and consequent
OOPSes in TCP.
11) Make UDP short packet log message give more pertinent information.
12) ipv6 netfilter ip6_table module uses SMP_ALIGN improperly
13) GRED packet scheduler bug fixes from Jamal Hadi Salim.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/14 1.181.2.2)
Fix "performance optimization" that breaks the build
of the ns83820.c on every non-i386 platform.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/14 1.187)
Kill unused variable warnings in sunbmac.c and sunqe.c
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/14 1.188)
SunGEM driver updates:
1) Include config.h
2) Deal with RX fifo hang condition by carefully resetting
the RX side of the chip.
3) Wake up TX queue only when MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 are free.
4) Enforce minimum of 68 in gem_change_mtu.
5) Set cache line size in sw reset register on RIO chips.
6) Fix all the locking and document it.
7) When link comes up, indicate if pause is enabled.
8) Decrease RX fifo threshold to 128.
9) When setting max frame size register, add in 4 more
bytes for the sake of VLAN.
10) Tweak XON/XOFF threshold settings.
11) Only use infinite bursts on non-sparc64 non-alpha
as the PCI controllers on those platforms disconnect
at 64/128 byte boundaries anyways.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/14 1.189)
Fix unterminated comment in asm-sparc/ide.h
<davem@nuts.ninka.net> (02/03/14 1.181.2.3)
New driver for Tigon3 gigabit chipsets, written by
Jeff Garzik and myself.
Revamp VLAN layer so the locking and refounting are correct
and add hooks for network driver hw acceleration of VLAN.
Also improve performance of sw VLANs by using a hash table
for VLAN group lookups.
Add VLAN support for 8139cp driver plus other enhancements
by Jeff.
Add VLAN acceleration to acenic driver.
Add new ethtool interfaces for tuning interrupt coalescing,
RX/TX ring parameters, Pause negotiation, checksumming etc.
Add packet generator module from Robert Olsson. Great for
driver stress testing and performance analysis.

maintaining easier.
<kraxel@bytesex.org> (02/03/14 1.181.1.44)
[PATCH] v4l: videodev redesign
This patch is a redesign for videodev.[ch]. 2.5.7-pre1 has a similar
update, the main difference is that this 2.4 version of the patch
supports both traditional (for backward compatibility) and 2.5-like (to
simplify backporting 2.5 drivers) registration of v4l drivers.
Changes in detail:
- Allow drivers to use struct file_operations directly instead of the
read/write/mmap/poll/... function pointers in struct video_device.
2.5.x will drop the function pointers altogether. Dispatching to
different drivers by minor number is done the same way soundcore.o
handles this: swap file->f_fops at open() time.
- Stop using the BKL, use a mutex to protect open,register+unregister
calls against races.
- provide a video_generic_ioctl() function which can (and should) be
used by v4l drivers to handle copying from and to userspace.
- provide video_exclusive_open/release functions which can be used by
v4l drivers to make sure only one process at a time opens the
device. They can be hooked directly into struct file_operations if
some driver has nothing to initialize at open time (which is true
for many drivers in drivers/media/radio/).

this patch moves ISDN initialization behind USB initialization.

The ioctl require the process calling this ioctl to be the
_only_ process with _anything_ open on the controller, a
requirement which makes the ioctl next to useless. It is
superceded by the ioctls to register and deregister new disks
which are already in the driver. I know of no application
which uses this ioctl. -- steve.cameron@compaq.com
<marcelo@plucky.distro.conectiva> (02/03/14 1.197)
The problem is that both the sd and sr drivers treat an
error that was recovered by the device as a fatal error. SCSI
devices use the recovered error status to inform the host that
some recovery action was required to complete the command, but
that the command was successfully completed. Since Recovered
Errors can be the harbinger of a future device failure, they
should be logged for the system adminstrator to see, but the
command should not be reported as failed to the rest of the system.
The mechanics of the patch are pretty simple. If you don't
explicitly filter out an error in the "rw_intr", the default
action by the completion code is to fail it. The change is
to look for recovered errors in each driver, print out the
sense information about the error, and then clear the error
status so that the command is completed as though no error
were reported by the device.

Hi Marcelo,
it looks like SuSE did some audit of the syscall error return values.

o msync/mrptotect are not supposed to return EFAULT, return ENOMEM instead.
o msync can't be both sync and async
o shmdt is only supposed to return 0 in success case. This actually
looks like a typo in the original code :)

[PATCH] boot_cpu_data corruption on SMP x86
The patch below eliminates a case of boot_cpu_data corruption
on SMP x86 machines. This was first observed on SMP Athlons,
but it also affects SMP Intel boxes in a less serious way.
When the secondary processors boot and execute head.S:checkCPUtype,
the code performs a 32-bit write of a small constant to the
byte-sized variable boot_cpu_data.x86 (X86 in head.S). Since the
write is 32-bit, it also writes zeros to the following 3 bytes,
which clobbers the x86_vendor, x86_model, and x86_mask fields
previously set up by check_bugs()'s call to identify_cpu().
Thus, after smp_init(), boot_cpu_data will _always_ identify
the CPU as an Intel (X86_VENDOR_INTEL == 0 in processor.h) with
model 0 and stepping 0.
The effect in standard kernels is not catastrophic, since:
(a) most SMP x86 boxes are Intel
(b) most uses of x86_vendor occur before smp_init() or reference
the SMP cpu_data[] array
(c) most post-boot references to boot_cpu_data occur in the
cpu_has_XXX macros which only read the x86_capability[] array
However, third-party extensions (like my x86 performance-monitoring
conters driver) can get seriously confused by this mis-identification.
The patch is for 2.4.19-pre3, but it also applies to 2.5.6 and
2.2.21rc1. Please apply.

which is used in video_exclusive_register. Any driver using
this function will cause an oops in this function.
Apply this patch to make it work.
Note to Gerd: I've ported the meye driver (see next patch) to the
new API and I'm pleased to report that it works correctly on
both 2.4 and 2.5 kernel lines. Good job!

[PATCH] meye driver update to new V4L API.
Hi,
The attached BK patch (dependent on the previous videodev.c one)
backports the 2.5 version of the Motion Eye driver to 2.4 using
the recent changes in V4L API and the memory allocation cleanups,
thanks to vmalloc_to_page.

Backport the 2.5 meye driver thanks to the recent Gerd's work:
- use the new V4L API
- use vmalloc_to_page and clean up memory allocation

[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre3 Trivial I: seq_file.h update
Hi Marcelo,
It's Monday again (well, it was a public holiday here Monday,
so I'm a day late). That means trivial patch day! Yay!
David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>: struct seq_file private pointer:
The patch below adds a private pointer field to struct seq_file.
Without this the seq_file interface is essentially unusable for
drivers. 2.5 already has the field, please apply to 2.4.
(Included in 2.5)

[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre3 Trivial III: -ENOTTY for nvram
Paul Gortmaker <p_gortmaker@yahoo.com>: ENOTTY for nvram ioctl:
ioctl(d, valid, crap) --> -EINVAL
ioctl(d, crap, ....) --> -ENOTTY
man ioctl agrees:
ENOTTY The specified request does not apply to the kind of
object that the descriptor d references.
Currently we return -EINVAL for both cases which is not as
informative for debugging stuff.
Patch is for 2.5.6 but applies cleanly (with minor offset) to 2.4.19p2

[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre3 Trivial VI: MSDOS options
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>: MSDOS filesystem option mistreatment:
Hello,
this fixes a longstanding buglet in kernels 2.4 and 2.5, where
the MSDOS filesystem would ignore its 'check' mount option.

If setup_arg_pages() fails, we continue
although nothing went wrong. The following patch kills the process
instead.

[PATCH] 2.4 and 2.5: remove Alt-Sysrq-L
Linus, Marcelo, Dave,
The following patch removes Alt-Sysrq-L and its associated hack to kill
of PID1, the init process. This is a mis-feature.
If PID1 is killed, the kernel immediately enters an infinite loop in the
depths of do_exit() with interrupts disabled, completely locking the
machine. Obviously you can only reach for the reset button or power
switch after this, leaving you with dirty filesystems.
This patch has appeared on LKML a couple of months ago.

[PATCH] 2.5 and 2.4: fix PCI IO BAR flags
There is a problem where the resource flags sometimes contain bits from
the address part of the PCI BAR, especially when you have the low address
bit set for an IO BAR.
(bit 3 of a PCI IO BAR is an address bit, and (bar & 0xf) propagates this
to res->flags).
This exists in Ivan Kokshaysky PCI patches, and so far hasn't made it into
the kernel. It's required for IDE on certain ARM machines to even work.
This patch fixes this. Please apply.

Remove unused videodev_register_lock
<marcelo@plucky.distro.conectiva> (02/03/19 1.216)
Avoid page_to_phys() from truncating the physical addresses to 32bit,
loosing higher bits.
<hch@caldera.de> (02/03/19 1.217)
[PATCH] fix Config.in breakage
The appended patch fixes an Config.in abuse in drivers/net/Config.in.
The problem is that a mips-specific choice tries to redefine CONFIG_NE2000
as bool although it is a tristate - this breaks strict parses such as
mconfig.

[PATCH] kill slow-path micro-optimization
With the struct page reduction patch a micro-optimization that
only applies to a very slow path has crept in: __SetPageReserved.
The additional locked instructions absoloutly don't matter when
booting up, it also is in wrong place in mm.h :)

[PATCH] export rbtree routines

[PATCH] Re: [PATCH] zlib double-free bug
Someone pointed me at a previously-posted patch for the zlib
vulnerability. While I was looking at that patch I realized that both
that patch and mine were buggy in different ways. My patch was
freeing s->sub.trees.blens after that word had been overwritten by an
assignment to s->sub.decode.codes, whereas with the previously-posted
patch, it is still possible to get a double-free (if inflate_codes_new
returns NULL, it will leave s->mode == DTREE but s->sub.trees.blens
has already been freed).
Here is a new patch which should fix both those problems.
Paul.

Marcelo,
The following change is necessary to prevent a hang in NFS when UDP
