When JFS decides to drop a dirty metapage, it simply clears the META_dirty bit and leave alone the PG_dirty and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY bits. When such no-write page goes to metapage_writepage(), the `relic' PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag should be cleared, to prevent pdflush from repeatedly trying to sync them. This is done through set_page_writeback(), so call it should be called in all cases. If no I/O is initiated, end_page_writeback() should be called immediately. This is how __block_write_full_page() does things. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn>

Contents of /proc/*/maps is sensitive and may become sensitive after open() (e.g. if target originally shares our ->mm and later does exec on suid-root binary). Check at read() (actually, ->start() of iterator) time that mm_struct we'd grabbed and locked is - still the ->mm of target - equal to reader's ->mm or the target is ptracable by reader.

Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for /proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's. This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB and SLAB, and shares all the setup code. Maybe SLOB will want this some day too.

-
Paul Mackerras authored
Commit aed3a8c9 introduced a definition of notify_spus_active in .../cell/spu_syscalls.c, and another definition under #ifndef MODULE in .../cell/spufs/sched.c. The latter is not necessary and causes the build to fail when CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, so this removes it. It also removes the export of do_notify_spus_active, which is unnecessary.

After 17d57a92 ("x86: fix x86-32 early fixmap initialization.") removing lg.ko caused a printk from vunmap: mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027. On the second use after module load, the kernel crashes. This fixes the immediate problem (accessed and dirty bits not set as expected in pmd_none_or_clear_bad). I can't see why this would cause a crash, but I haven't been able to reproduce it once this is applied.

When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT samples available, one for each packet. The first (in order of seq number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself be delayed. According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of congestion. The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno, illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal, particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use) should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was triggered by a packet.

We're exporting an __init function, oops :-) The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers need to do. There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver, except that init will probably not pick up the console change without some other support code. Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match() and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-( The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off, ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name(); The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a fix.

It appears that some PCI-E bridges do the wrong thing in the presense of CRS Software Visibility and MMCONFIG. In particular, it looks like an ATI bridge (device ID 7936) will return 0001 in the vendor ID field of any bridged devices indefinitely. Not enabling CRS SV avoids the problem, and as we currently do not really make good use of the feature anyway (we just time out rather than do any threaded discovery as suggested by the CRS specs), we're better off just not enabling it. This should fix a slew of problem reports with random devices (generally graphics adapters or fairly high-performance networking cards, since it only affected PCI-E) not getting properly recognized on these AMD systems. If we really want to use CRS-SV, we may end up eventually needing a whitelist of systems where this should be enabled, along with some kind of "pcibios_enable_crs()" query to call the system-specific code.

Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists.

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the latter is ignored and the default (on) is used. This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion. But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration. This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on) is the default. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes it fail. Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4. Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().
