We can benefit from knowing that the file system no longer cares about the contents of certain sectors, by throwing them away immediately and then never having to garbage collect them, and using the extra free space to make our operations more efficient.

Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such requests. The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even _if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

I have another request for the block filter SG_IO command whitelist, specifically the MMC streaming command set SET READ AHEAD command. The command applies only to MMC CDROM/DVDROM drives with the streaming optional feature set. The command is useful to cdparanoia in that it allows explicit cache control side effects that are, on many drives, cdparanoia's most efficient way to flush/disable the media cache on cdrom drives. I am aware of no reason why it should not be accessible from usespace. Also note that the command is already fully accessible through the SCSI-native version of the SG_IO ioctl as well as the traditional SG interface. The command is only being refused on block devices. That means that on a typical stock distro, the command is available through /dev/sg* but not /dev/scd* although both are typically available and accessible. Filtering the command is not providing any protection, only a confusing inconsistency. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion avoidance state rho is smaller than 1/128 of the current cwnd, TCP Hybla congestion control starves and the cwnd is kept constant forever. This patch forces an increment by one segment after #send_cwnd calls without increments(newreno behavior). Signed-off-by: Daniele Lacamera <root@danielinux.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances of the error unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free a reference to the device waited on by the first instance. The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait for the very ones that you've added and be done with it. There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock. This is exactly what the following patch does. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

From: Ali Saidi <saidi@engin.umich.edu> When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful, copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be called early which can send an ack. Further along in tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN device down that is in promiscous mode: When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented a second time by the vlan_change_rx_flags() callback. The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags() is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP. Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the intended behaviour.

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this: mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769 end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777 It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is sent. This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay (mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command() and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch, while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest, I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test. Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in and knock the system down to its shoes. Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up. To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case). This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as a regression from 2.6.26. On my box it was caused by: commit 691874fa Author: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Date: Tue May 27 21:19:51 2008 +0100 x86: I/O APIC: timer through 8259A second-chance Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> and the whole story is described in this (huge) thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121358440508410&w=4 Matthew Garrett told us about that happening on the nx6125: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121396307411930&w=4 and then Maciej analysed the breakage on the basis of a DSDT from the nx6325: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121401068718826&w=4 As far as the Dmitry's and Jason's boxes are concerned, I recognized the symptoms and asked them to verify that the blacklisting helped. It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire range of machines, for no good reason. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
