This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which broke when ptracing). (akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's. It may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

remove_from_swap() currently attempts to use page_lock_anon_vma to obtain an anon_vma lock. That is not working since the page may have been remapped via swap ptes in order to move the page. However, do_migrate_pages() obtain the mmap_sem lock and therefore there is a guarantee that the anonymous vma will not vanish from under us. There is therefore no need to use page_lock_anon_vma.

The RedBoot boot loader writes flash partition tables containing native byte sex 32 bit values. When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g. an LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition map for the flash. So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the partition table parsing is in generic MTD code. The patch below has been tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch, 10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel. Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org. These builds are BE, the archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf, nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux). The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c). If the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken. The patched code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will be assumed to have the host byte sex. If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32 bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the MTD partition map.

If negative entries (nodeid == 0) were sent in reply to LOOKUP requests, two bugs could be triggered: - looking up a negative entry would return -EIO, - revaildate on an entry which turned negative would send a FORGET request with zero nodeid, which would cause an abort() in the library. The above would only happen if the 'negative_timeout=N' option was used, otherwise lookups reply -ENOENT, which worked correctly.

A recent patch attempted to enable more efficient memory usage by using only 2kB descriptors for jumbo frames. The method used to implement this has since been commented upon as "illegal" and in recent kernels even causes a BUG when receiving ip fragments while using jumbo frames. This patch simply goes back to the way things were. We expect some complaints due to order 3 allocations failing to come back due to this change.

There is a dead lock in lh7a40x udc driver. When the driver receive a SET_FEATURE HALT request, the dev lock is taken by the interrupt handler lh7a40x_udc_irq then the handler will call lh7a40x_set_halt function which in its turn will try to acquire the dev lock.

During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler. Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for now.

Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b) Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping) (3c726f8d). Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is seriously bogus. This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others. The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For 2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an address. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
