Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's "flags" field. Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from nfs_inode at the same time. The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR. This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost of using this type of serialization. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations. This patch splits the flags field into two. The next patch introduces atomic bitops for one of the fields. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

Fix for manual binding of drivers to devices. Problem is if you pass in a valid device id, but the driver refuses to bind. Infinite loop as write() tries to resubmit the data it just sent.

This fixes a bug in the PPC64 iommu vmerge code which results in the potential for iommu_unmap_sg to go off unmapping more than it should. This was found on a test system which resulted in PCI bus errors due to PCI memory being unmapped while DMAs were still in progress.

It turns out that empty distance code tables are not an error, and that a compressed block with only literals can validly have an empty table and should not be flagged as a data error. Some old versions of gzip had problems with this case, but it does not affect the zlib code in the kernel.

The nfsd holds the big kernel lock upon exit, when it really shouldn't. Not to mention that this breaks Ingo's RT patch. This is a trivial fix to release the lock. Ingo, this patch also works with your kernel, and stops the problem with nfsd. Note, there's a "goto out;" where "out:" is right above svc_exit_thread. The point of the goto also holds the kernel_lock, so I don't see any problem here in releasing it.

This bug is quite subtle and only happens in a very interesting situation where a real-time threaded process is in the middle of a coredump when someone whacks it with a SIGKILL. However, this deadlock leaves the system pretty hosed and you have to reboot to recover. Not good for real-time priority-preemption applications like our telephony application, with 90+ real-time (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) processes, many of them multi-threaded, interacting with each other for high volume call processing.

1) We send out a normal sized packet with TSO on to start off. 2) ICMP is received indicating a smaller MTU. 3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented since it was created before the ICMP event. The first fragment is then sent out. At this point the remaining fragment is allocated by tcp_fragment. However, its size is padded to fit the L1 cache-line size therefore creating tail-room up to 124 bytes long. This fragment will also be sitting at sk_send_head. 4) tcp_sendmsg is called again and it stores data in the tail-room of of the fragment. 5) tcp_push_one is called by tcp_sendmsg which then calls tso_fragment since the packet as a whole exceeds the MTU. At this point we have a packet that has data in the head area being fed to tso_fragment which bombs out. My take on this is that we shouldn't ever call tcp_fragment on a TSO socket for a packet that is yet to be transmitted since this creates a packet on sk_send_head that cannot be extended. So here is a patch to change it so that tso_fragment is always used in this case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When packets hit raw sockets the csum update isn't done yet, do it manually. Packets can also reach rawv6_rcv on the output path through ip6_call_ra_chain, in this case skb->ip_summed is CHECKSUM_NONE and this codepath isn't executed.

Patch from Dimitry Andric This patch removes the initial UART I/O mapping from s3c2410_iodesc, since the same mapping is already done in the function s3c24xx_init_io in the file arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/cpu.c, through the s3c_iodesc array. I'm not sure if duplicate mappings do any harm, but it's simply redundant. Also, in s3c2440.c the UART I/O mapping is NOT done. Additionally, I put a comma behind the last mapping, to ease copy/pasting stuff around, and make the style consistent with s3c2440.c and other files.

Paulus suggested that we put xLparMap in its own .c file so that we can generate a .s file to be included into head.S. This doesn't get around the problem of having it at a fixed address, but it makes it more palatable. It would be good if this could be included in 2.6.13 as it solves our build problems with various versions of binutils and gcc. In particular, it allows us to build an iSeries kernel on Debian unstable using their biarch compiler. This has been built and booted on iSeries and built for pSeries and g5.

Chuck Ebbert noticed that the desc_empty macro is incorrect. Fix it. Thankfully, this is not used as a security check, but it can falsely overwrite TLS segments with carefully chosen base / limits.
