The whole idea with the NOTRACK netfilter target is that you can force the netfilter code to avoid connection tracking, and all costs assosciated with it, by making traffic match a NOTRACK rule. But this is totally broken by the fact that we do a checksum calculation over the packet before we do the NOTRACK bypass check, which is very expensive. People setup NOTRACK rules explicitly to avoid all of these kinds of costs. This patch from Patrick, already in Linus's tree, fixes the bug. Move the check for ip_conntrack_untracked before the call to skb_checksum_help to fix NOTRACK excemptions from NAT. Pre-2.6.19 NAT code breaks TSO by invalidating hardware checksums for every packet, even if explicitly excluded from NAT through NOTRACK. 2.6.19 includes a fix that makes NAT and TSO live in harmony, but the performance degradation caused by this deserves making at least the workaround work properly in -stable.

The bcm43xx code in 2.6.18 has a serious problems not found in 2.6.17, due to a change in the locking mechanism introduced to reduce latency. The following patch fixes the problems in locking, reduces the latency associated with the periodic work tasklet, and contains code needed for those cards that use 64-bit DMA. Signed-off-by:

This patch has already been submitted for inclusion in the 2.6.19 tree, but not backported to the 2.6.18. Please pull the bug fix below into the stable tree for the 2.6.18.1 release. The purpose of the code being modified is to determine the location of the calgary chip address space. This is done by a magical formula of FE0MB-8MB*OneBasedChassisNumber+1MB*(RioNodeId-ChassisBase) to find the offset where BIOS puts it. In this formula, OneBasedChassisNumber corresponds to the NUMA node, and rionodeid is always 2 or 3 depending on which chip in the system it is. The problem was that we had an off by one error that caused us to account some busses to the wrong chip and thus give them the wrong address space. Fixes RH bugzilla #203971. Signed-off-by:

The recent fix to invalidate_inode_pages() (git commit 016eb4a0) managed to unfix invalidate_inode_pages2(). The problem is that various bits of code in the kernel can take transient refs on pages: the page scanner will do this when inspecting a batch of pages, and the lru_cache_add() batching pagevecs also hold a ref. Net result is transient failures in invalidate_inode_pages2(). This affects NFS directory invalidation (observed) and presumably also block-backed direct-io (not yet reported). Fix it by reverting invalidate_inode_pages2() back to the old version which ignores the page refcounts. We may come up with something more clever later, but for now we need a 2.6.18 fix for NFS.

[SPARC64]: Kill bogus check from bootmem_init(). There is an ancient and totally incorrect sanity check being done on the ramdisk location. The check assumes that the kernel is always loaded to physical address zero, which is wrong. It was trying to validate the ramdisk value by saying that if it fell within the kernel image address range it must be wrong. Anyways, kill this because it actually creates problems. The 'ramdisk_image' should always be adjusted down by KERNBASE. SILO can easily put the ramdisk in a location which causes this test to trigger, breaking things.

Unfortunately, sparc64 doesn't have an easy way to do a "64 X 64 --> 128" bit multiply like PowerPC and IA64 do. We were doing a "64 X 64 --> 64" bit multiple which causes overflow very quickly with a 30-bit quotient shift. So use a quotientshift count of 10 instead of 30, just like x86 and ARM do. This also fixes the wrapping of printk timestamp values every ~17 seconds. Signed-off-by:

The v4l2 API documentation for VIDIOC_ENUMSTD says: To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL. The actual code, however, tests the index this way: if (index<=0 || index >= vfd->tvnormsize) { ret=-EINVAL; So any application which passes in index=0 gets EINVAL right off the bat - and, in fact, this is what happens to mplayer. So I think the following patch is called for, and maybe even appropriate for a 2.6.18.x stable release.

Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init initcall. Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch) moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular, topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race, but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module to load earlier still. The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized. Cc: Mark Huang <mlhuang@cs.princeton.edu> Signed-off-by:

Assume that a cpu is *physically* offlined at boot time... Because smpboot.c::smp_boot_cpu_map() canoot find cpu's sapicid, numa.c::build_cpu_to_node_map() cannot build cpu<->node map for offlined cpu. For such cpus, cpu_to_node map should be fixed at cpu-hot-add. This mapping should be done before cpu onlining. This patch also handles cpu hotremove case. Signed-off-by:

Problem description: We have additional_cpus= option for allocating possible_cpus. But nid for possible cpus are not fixed at boot time. cpus which is offlined at boot or cpus which is not on SRAT is not tied to its node. This will cause panic at cpu onlining. Usually, pxm_to_nid() mapping is fixed at boot time by SRAT. But, unfortunately, some system (my system!) do not include full SRAT table for possible cpus. (Then, I use additiona_cpus= option.) For such possible cpus, pxm<->nid should be fixed at hot-add. We now have acpi_map_pxm_to_node() which is also used at boot. It's suitable here. Signed-off-by:

Ulrich Weigand found a bug with the current version of the asm-powerpc/ptrace.h that prevents building at least the SPU target version of gdb, since some ptrace opcodes are not defined. The problem seems to have originated in the merging of 32 and 64 bit versions of that file, the problem is that some opcodes are only valid on 64 bit kernels, but are also used by 32 bit programs, so they can't depends on the __powerpc64__ symbol.
