GFP_ATOMIC | GFP_KERNEL is meaningless and won't work. Actually it never worked, even in 2.4. Signed-off-by:

Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take already taken spinlocks. Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed fault, so it's safe to behave this way. Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future. Signed-off-by:

Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context. I want to try to fix it, but probably this is simpler. To tell the truth, sysrq is normally run in interrupt context, so there shouldn't be any problem. There's also a warning from the fault handler because it's run in atomic context (I have a patch for that, only I deferred it). This is why I'm doing this. Signed-off-by:

The current code doesn't handle well general protection faults on the host - it thinks that cr2 is always the address of a page fault. While actually, on general protection faults, that address is not accessible, so we'd better assume we couldn't satisfy the fault. Currently instead we think we've fixed it, so we go back, retry the instruction and fault again endlessly. This leads to the kernel hanging when doing copy_from_user(dest, -1, ...) in TT mode, since reading *(-1) causes a GFP, and we don't support kernel preemption. Thanks to Luo Xin for testing UML with LTP and reporting the failures he got. Cc: Luo Xin <luothing@sina.com> Signed-off-by:

pte_modify marks a page as needing flush, which is redundant because the resulting PTE is still set with set_pte, which already handles that. Signed-off-by:

Only remove the UML pidfile and management socket if we created them. Currently in case two UMLs are started with the same umid, the second will remove the first's ones. Probably we should also panic() at that point, not sure however. Signed-off-by:

I had an issue on ia64 where I got a bug in kernel/workqueue because kzalloc returned a NULL pointer due to the task structure getting too big for the slab allocator. Usually these cases are caught by the kmalloc macro in include/linux/slab.h. Compilation will fail if a too big value is passed to kmalloc. However, kzalloc uses __kmalloc which has no check for that. This patch makes __kmalloc bug if a too large entity is requested. Signed-off-by:

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time clock, etc... The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others. Signed-off-by:

Anton Blanchard authored
The recent iommu fix broke booting on some POWER4 and POWER5 LPAR boxes. It looks like we have been calling the non LPAR iommu_dev_setup on LPAR machines for a while. The recent iommu fix caused that code path to fail. It looks like we just need to hook up the devices iommu_table to the parents one, so do that instead of calling iommu_dev_setup_pSeries and crossing the streams. Signed-off-by:

The numa slab allocator may allocate pages from foreign nodes onto the lists for a particular node if a node runs out of memory. Inspecting the slab->nodeid field will not reflect that the page is now in use for the slabs of another node. This patch fixes that issue by adding a node field to free_block so that the caller can indicate which node currently uses a slab. Also removes the check for the current node from kmalloc_cache_node since the process may shift later to another node which may lead to an allocation on another node than intended. Signed-off-by:

The address passed to io_remap_pfn_range() in hpet_mmap() does not need to be converted using __pa(): it is already a physical address. This bug was found and the patch suggested by Clay Harris. I introduced this particular bug when making io_remap_pfn_range changes a few months ago. In fact mmap()ing /dev/hpet has *never* previously worked: before my changes __pa() was being executed on an ioremap()ed virtual address, which is also invalid. Signed-off-by:

If error occurs while in v9fs_get_sb after it calles sget, the dentry object of the root and its inode may be freed twice -- once while handling the error in v9fs_get_sb, and second time when v9fs_get_sb calles deactivate_super (which in turn calls v9fs_kill_super) The patch removes the unnecessary code that frees the root dentry and its inode.

v9fs_vfs_readlink allocates space for the link using __getname and errorneously uses strlen on the newly allocated buffer to check if the buffer passed by the user is bigger than the one returned by __getname. The patch replaces the strlen usage to PATH_MAX, which is the actual size of the buffers returned by __getname. Signed-off-by:

When a new session is created it uses a template object of the specified transport type to instantiate its own copy. The code for the making a copy of the template object was lost, and the object itself is attached to the v9fs session. This leads to many sessions using the same transport instead of having their own copy. The patch puts back the code that makes a copy of the template object. Signed-off-by:

buf_check_size function checks if the conv buffer has enough space for the performed operation, but it doesn't return the result back to the calling function, only logs an error in the log. The report-back-error functionality was lost when buf_check_size was converted from macro to inline function. The return in the macro used to exit from the functions that include it, after the conversion it just exits from the inline function itself. The patch makes buf_check_size to return flag and all functions that use it check if they should perform the operation, or exit. Signed-off-by:

In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. The S4 suspend code for PM_DISK_PLATFORM was also calling device_shutdown without setting system_state, and was not calling the appropriate reboot_notifier. This patch fixes the bug by replacing the call of device_suspend with kernel_poweroff_prepare. Various forms of this failure have been fixed and tracked for a while. Thanks for tracking this down go to: Alexey Starikovskiy, Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee>, Nigel Cunningham <ncunningham@cyclades.com>, Pierre Ossman <drzeus-list@drzeus.cx> History of this bug is at: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4320Signed-off-by:

In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions. Making it very hard to get the various kinds of reboot out of sync. Signed-off-by:
