This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the sighand during its lifetime. In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current". I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago. The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to fetch w/out signalfd.

we upgraded the kernel of a nfs-server from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.22.6. Since then we get the message lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in svc_tcp_accept. (Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf)) calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly; but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed. This is less obvious in the second case, which is inside a dprintk(), which is a macro which expands to an if statement.)

A driver writer from another operating system hinted that the versions of Yukon 2 chip with rambuffer (EC and XL) have a hardware bug that if the FIFO ever gets completely full it will hang. Sounds like a classic ring full vs ring empty wrap around bug. As a workaround, use the existing watchdog timer to check for ring full lockup.

Add support for newest Marvell chips. The Yukon FE plus chip is found in some not yet released laptops. Tested on hardware evaluation boards. This version of the patch is for 2.6.23. It supersedes the two previous patches that are sitting in netdev-2.6 (upstream branch).

This patch should cause no functional changes in driver behaviour. There are (too) many revisions of the Yukon 2 chip now. Instead of adding more conditionals based on chip revision; rerganize into a set of feature flags so adding new versions is less problematic.

Initialization of ohci1394 was broken according to one reporter if the driver was statically linked, i.e. not built as loadable module. Dmesg: PCI: Device 0000:02:07.0 not available because of resource collisions ohci1394: Failed to enable OHCI hardware. This was reported for a Toshiba Satellite 5100-503. The cause is commit 8df4083c in Linux 2.6.19-rc1 which only served purposes of early remote debugging via FireWire. This functionality is better provided by the currently out-of-tree driver ohci1394_earlyinit. Reversal of the commit was OK'd by Andi Kleen. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify cloned skb data. It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for ppp_async and ppp_sync. The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit. The original code leaked any existing socket skb accounting. We could fix this by dropping the original skb owner. However, this is undesirable as the packet has not physically left the host yet. In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing through to their own socket. In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP. So this patch simply removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit. The accounting still applies to control packets of course. I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work. I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

The following patch fixes the handling of netlink packets containing multiple messages. As exposed during netfilter workshop, nfnetlink_log was overwritten the message type of the last message (setting it to MSG_DONE) in a multipart packet. The consequence was libnfnetlink to ignore the last message in the packet. The following patch adds a supplementary message (with type MSG_DONE) af the end of the netlink skb.

Emil Medve points out that this documentation file uses CRLF line endings, which means that if you use [core] autocrlf=input (which makes sense if you ever develop under Windows, for example, or if you use other broken tools) in your git config, git will always complain about the file being dirty. This removes the bogus DOS line endings, and removes whitespace at the end of line. Cc: Emil Medve <Emilian.Medve@Freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

wakeup.S looks at the video mode number from the setup header and looks to see if it is a VESA mode. Unfortunately, the decoding is done incorrectly and it will attempt to frob the VESA BIOS for any mode number 0x0200 or larger. Correct this, and remove a bunch of #if 0'd code. Massive thanks to Jeff Chua for reporting the bug, and suffering though a large number of experiments in order to track this problem down. Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: H.

When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario; 1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and thread B is rt_sched_class. 2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock. 3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread C has a rt_sched_class. 4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array. The new thread C should be fair_sched_class. The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing. This patch fixes to set the suitable scheduler class.

Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user mode. This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to possibly have fixed it. Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.
