Now that walk_memory_resource() is available regardless of MEMORY_HOTPLUG's setting, this dependency is not needed. Signed-off-by:

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a network driver to have such a dependency. Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task -ever- used VMX. This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then "lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example) and then called get_context. It can end up with VMX enabled and the registers containing values from some other task. Signed-off-by:

use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since then nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with PF_BORROWED_MM bit set. As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is always true. Signed-off-by:

Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued. It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not. The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be pending packets which do not get sent. New semantics: tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being transferred right now set the flag right at the place where data are copied into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it was succesful tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments Tested-by:Michal Rokos <michal.rokos@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

If the user tries to read from a position that is not a multiple of 8, or read a number of bytes that is not a multiple of 8, they have passed an invalid argument to read, for the purpose of reading these files.

This patch: commit e9720acd Author: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Date: Fri Mar 7 11:08:40 2008 -0800 [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3) introduced a /proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding link count for /proc/self. This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call that counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry table whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of manually keeping the two in sync.

There is a bug when we are trying to verify that the reserve inode's double indirect blocks point back to the primary gdt blocks. The fix is obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block.

Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented to kernel hackers. Since I figure that there will be more people reading this kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added here: How to format kernel-doc comments the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file. This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other portions of the kernel. Signed-off-by:

I made a change to u-boot that used the FP (Fractional Part) field of BRGR to achieve more accurate baud rate generation. Unfortunately, the atmel_serial driver looks at the whole BRGR register when trying to detect the baud rate that the port is currently running at, so setting FP to a nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection. I'll sit on the u-boot patch for a while longer, but this is clearly a bug in the atmel_serial driver which should be fixed. Signed-off-by:

When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message that is output each time msgmni is recomputed. In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this message references an ipc namespace address that is useless. I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by Serge Hallyn. But unfortunately, we do not have any other information than the namespace address to provide here too. So I chose to move the message and output it only at boot time, removing the reference to the namespace. Signed-off-by:

When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in bytes). But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the ABI. So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes. Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.

Fix a bug in add_to_pagemap. Previously, since pm->out was a char *, put_user was only copying 1 byte of every PFN, resulting in the top 7 bytes of each PFN not being copied. By requiring that reads be a multiple of 8 bytes, I can make pm->out and pm->end u64*s instead of char*s, which makes put_user work properly, and also simplifies the logic in add_to_pagemap a bit.

Consider you added a 'c foo:bar r' permission to some cgroup and then (a bit later) 'c'foo:bar w' for it. After this you'll see the c foo:bar r c foo:bar w lines in a devices.list file. Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some cgroup (e.g. by mistake). After this you'll see 10 c foo:bar r lines in a list file. This is weird. This situation also has one more annoying consequence. Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine it has to walk a longer list. The proposal is to merge permissions for items, that correspond to the same device. Signed-off-by:

Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are devcgroup_inode_permission and devcgroup_inode_mknod) make it in a strange way: They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup. Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a enum-ed constant for it. Optimize this part a bit: 1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra dereferences, 2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory (i.e. one less dereference). Found while preparing 2.6.26 OpenVZ port. Signed-off-by:
