isdn_writebuf_stub() was always called for userland pointers. Killed the argument telling whether it's kernel or userland pointer, killed dead code, updated callers.

- trivial annotation in several places in drivers/mtd - a bunch of debugging printks switched from %x to %llx (they get 64bit values) - in doc200[01].c fixed type of (unused) last argument in their doc_read_ecc().

DVD_LU_SEND_{AGID,TITLE_KEY} can be legitimately rejected; in that case we should not spew into logs. -

Updating my source to 2.6.7 I see that you applied some nonsense garbage patch. Please undo. [ Note by Linus: the fact that DOS_EXTENDED_PARTITION is 5, and we're iterating over slots 1-4 in the partition table, are two totally unrelated things. Using the symbolic constant does indeed not make any sense at all here, as Andries so eloquently points out. ]

The exception rewrite contains a small bug that prevents bring up of CPUs on logically partitioned machines. The kernel is trying to zero the backlink on the new stack while running with relocation disabled, which potentially cause it to try to access an address outside of the region allowed in real mode. This seem to be a leftover from previous code as we also zero the backlink later after turning off the MMU. This patch removes the offending bit.

The whitespace in arch/ppc64/kernel/head.S is a bit all over the place. This patch fixes it up. This patch changes nothing other than whitespace. Signed-off-by:

Anton noticed in some traces that we were spending an awfully long time doing a memset. The ppc64 memset is basically unchanged from the ppc32 version, and it only does 4-byte stores and doesn't unroll the loop. Here's a memset that performs a bit better. I have been using it for 3 weeks now, and Anton has tested it on a variety of machines, without problems. Signed-off-by:

Somebody back in the mists of time decided that call_prom and rtas_call should return longs even though both of those bits of firmware run in 32-bit mode and produce a 32-bit result. To make life more interesting, the 32-bit result gets zero-extended to 64 bits, which makes checking for a -1 return value more complicated than it should be. This patch changes call_prom and rtas_call to return an int, and makes the corresponding changes to use ints for the variables used to hold those return values. While I was doing this I finally got annoyed enough with the strings of prom_print() and prom_print_hex() calls that we do to write a simple prom_printf. I deliberately didn't use snprintf because the execution environment is weird at this point - we aren't running at the address we are linked at just yet - and I didn't want to inflict that on any code outside this file. I also did a prom_debug() macro, which eliminated a few ifdefs. There are also a bunch of other minor cleanups. This patch makes very few algorithmic changes but does get rid of a lot of casts. :) I have been running with this patch for a couple of weeks, and Anton has tested it too. Signed-off-by:

When I made get_user_pages support looking up a pte for the "gate" area, I assumed it would be part of the kernel's fixed mappings. On x86-64 running a 32-bit task, the 32-bit vsyscall DSO page still has no vma but has its pte allocated in the user mm in the normal fashion. This patch makes it use the generic page-table lookup calls rather than the shortcuts. With this, ptrace on x86-64 can access a 32-bit process's vsyscall page. The behavior on x86 is unchanged.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> From: Josh Litherland <josh@emperorlinux.com> The XOR routine selection process is often confusing as it often doesn't choose the routine that measures the fastest, as sometime one routine is known to have better cache performance. This patch avoids the comparison when there is a known best choice, and makes the report more meaningful. Signed-off-by:

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> During stress testing at Oracle to determine the maximum number of clients 2.6 can service, it was discovered that the failure mode of excessive numbers of clients was kernel deadlock. The following patch removes the check if (nr_swap_pages > 0) from out_of_memory() as this heuristic fails to detect memory exhaustion due to pinned allocations, directly causing the aforementioned deadlock.

From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Turn on CONFIG_HIGHMEM and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS. Try to config the hugetlb pool: [root@quokka]# echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages [root@quokka]# grep HugePage /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 100 HugePages_Free: 100 [root@quokka]# echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages [root@quokka]# grep HugePage /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 [root@quokka]# echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages [root@quokka]# grep HugePage /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 100 HugePages_Free: 100 [root@quokka]# echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages [root@quokka]# grep HugePage /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 31 HugePages_Free: 31 The argument "count" passed to try_to_free_low() is the config parameter for desired hugetlb page pool size. But the implementation took that input argument as number of pages to free. It also decrement the config parameter as well. All give random behavior depend on how many hugetlb pages are in normal/highmem zone. A two line fix in try_to_free_low() would be: - if (!--count) - return 0; + if (count >= nr_huge_pages) + return count; But more appropriately, that function shouldn't return anything. Signed-off-by:

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Being able to recover the configuration from a kernel is very useful and it would be nice to default this option to Yes. Currently, to have the config available both from the image (using extract-ikconfig) and via /proc we keep two copies of the original .config in the kernel. One in plain text and one gzip compressed. This is not optimal. This patch removes the plain text version of the configuration and updates the extraction tools to locate and use the gzip'd version of the file. This has the added bonus of providing us with the exact same results in both cases, the original .config; including the comments. Signed-off-by:
