The following patch adds support for the 3Com networking core found in the ATI Radeon 9100 IGP southbridge used on boards like Asus P4R800-VM. The main point of this patch is using HAS_MII instead of HAS_NWAY for the definition of the board. All the previous trials since the end of last year used HAS_NWAY which disables the Tx part of the transceiver; using HAS_NWAY was the way all 3Com Cyclone and Tornado chips worked, as they had the transceiver integrated. The ATI solution has an external transceiver and I had to physically see the different chip on the board (the board was provided by ATI) to finally understand that it needs the HAS_MII definition... I'm still waiting for some docs from ATI to clarify if this is the correct way of handling this chip and if there are any differences w.r.t EEPROM handling, but as it appears to work and was also confirmed by other testers, I don't want to keep owners of such boards away from their networks :-) The textual identification was a bit hard to decide; it's called "3c920B-EMB-WNM" in the Windows .INF file that Asus provides for their boards. As this name was already used for PCI ID 9210, I added the paranthesis which specifies where this chip is found. The Scyld driver defines FEATURE_TORNADO to include HAS_NWAY. This board would then probably need to not be defined with FEATURE_TORNADO, but the same as in this patch. I would like to publicly thank Tyson Vickers for both ideas and patience during the last few weeks. He managed to get the driver working by randomly setting driver parameters :-) But then he contacted me and worked with me towards the solution. Signed-off-by:

attached is an update for the sisfb driver to version 1.7.10. This update includes - fixes for pure 64bit and 32/64bit mixed systems (add ioctl conversion; fix variable sizes, etc; REQUIRED for current X.org/XFree86 on 64bit systems, even if pure 64bit), - fixes for 301C video bridge, (scales TV output correctly now) - fixes for 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 LCD panels, - many fixes for 661/741/760 (amongst others, proper LFB support for the 760 and corrections for SiS' new BIOS data layout; would lead to display corruption with old driver) - add support for many modes for LCD which were unsupported previously, - add support for HiVision and YPbPr HDTV - "vga=" statement now honoured properly (sisfb will set the same mode as the kernel did by default) - use LCD native resolution mode if no mode is given - a major clean up of main driver code, - radical removal of duplicate (or nearly duplicate) code, - switched to 2.6 module_param macros, - enhanced communication with the X driver, - added eventual POSTing of SiS300/305 card for non-x86 archs, - added ability to relocate the image on the TV screen using a userland tool, - added Documentation/fb/sisfb.txt (why the heck was this missing?!) - small fix for SiS DRM driver (match 32/64bit fixes mentioned above) (cast the data passed to sis_free as u32) - make driver re-entrant by avoiding static structures and variables. As usual, heavily tested. The mode switching code is even lab-tested by SiS (although 100% written by me). Please apply asap (especially since 64bit systems were not properly supported previously; as mentioned, current X.org/XFree86 needs this update for proper communication with the framebuffer driver on 64bit systems. X crashes on such systems with the old driver). Signed-off-by:

This is my fourth attempt to patch the isofs code. It is similar to the last posting except this one implements the NFS get_parent() method which has always been missing. The original problem I set out to addresses is that the current iso9660 file system cannot reach inodes located beyond the 4GB barrier. This is caused by using the inode number as the byte offset of the inode data. Being 32-bits wide, the inode number is unable to reach inode data that does not reside on the first 4GB of the file system. This causes real problems with "growisofs" http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/#isofs4gb and my pet project "shunt" http://www.serice.net/shunt/ This patch switches the isofs code from iget() to iget5_locked() which allows extra data to be passed into isofs_read_inode() so that inode data anywhere on the disk can be reached. The inode number scheme was also changed. Continuing to use the byte offset would have resulted in non-unique inodes in many common situations, but because the inode number no longer plays any role in reading the meta-data off the disk, I was free to set the inode number to some unique characteristic of the file. I have chosen to use the block offset which is also 32-bits wide. Lastly, the pre-patch code uses the default export_operations to handle accessing the file system through NFS. The problem with this is that the default NFS operations assume that iget() works which is no longer the case because of the necessity of switching to iget5_locked(). So, I had to implement the NFS operations too. As a bonus, I went ahead and implemented the NFS get_parent() method which has always been missing. Signed-off-by: -

BSD accounting format rework: Use all explicit and implicit padding in struct acct to - correctly report 32 bit uid/gid, - correctly report jobs (e.g., daemons) running longer than 497 days, - increase the precision of ac_etime from 2^-13 to 2^-20 (i.e., from ~6 hours to ~1 min. after a year) - store the current AHZ value. - allow cross-platform processing of the accounting file (limited for m68k which has a different size struct acct). - introduce versioning for smooth transition to incompatible formats in the future. Currently the following version numbers are defined: 0: old format (until 2.6.7) with 16 bit uid/gid 1: extended variant (binary compatible to v0 on M68K) 2: extended variant (binary compatible to v0 on everything except M68K) 3: a new binary incompatible format (64 bytes) 4: new binary incompatible format (128 bytes). layout of its first 64 bytes is the same as for v3. 5: marks second half of new binary incompatible format (128 bytes) (layout is not yet defined) All this is accomplished without breaking binary compatibility. 32 bit uid/gid support is compatible with the patch previously floating around and used e.g. by Red Hat. This patch also introduces a config option for a new, binary incompatible "version 3" format that - is uniform across and properly aligned on all platforms - stores pid and ppid - uses AHZ==100 on all platforms (allows to report longer times) Much of the compatibility glue goes away when v1/v2 support is removed from the kernel. Such a patch is at http://www.physik3.uni-rostock.de/tim/kernel/2.7/acct-cleanup-04.patch and might be applied in the 2.7 timeframe. The new v3 format is source compatible with current GNU acct tools (6.3.5). However, current GNU acct tools can be compiled for only one format. As there is no way to pass the kernel configuration to userspace, with my patch it will still only support the old v2 format. Only if v1/v2 support is removed from the kernel, recompiling GNU acct tools will yield v3 support. A preliminary take at the corresponding work on cross-platform userspace tools (GNU acct package) is at http://www.physik3.uni-rostock.de/tim/kernel/utils/acct/ This version of the package is able to read any of the v0/v2/v3 formats, regardless of byte-order (untested), even within the same file. Cross-platform compatibility with m68k (v1 format) is not yet implemented, but native use on m68k should work (untested). pid and ppid are currently only shown by the dump-acct utility.

Add a check to the PM-Timer initialization code. It validates the PM-Timer rate against PIT channel 2 and rejects the PM-Timer if its rate is not withing 5% of the expected number. Rationale: The PMTMR timers of certain (older) mainboards are running at invalid rates, often much faster than the rate expected by the PM-Timer code. This causes the system clock to run much too fast. See also http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2375 Possible workarounds are disabling the PM-Timer in the kernel config or disabling the PM-Timer at boot time through the "clock=tsc" parameter. However, we believe it is more user friendly to automatically validate the PM-Timer rate at boot time before using it as the system time source. Tested by me (with broken timer) and John Stultz (with good timer) and believed to be ok. Signed-off-by:

The old 1542 scsi driver is both ISA and MCA. The MCA portions are disabled when !CONFIG_MCA through the typical wrapper scheme (a la pci.h and !CONFIG_PCI). However... the driver unconditionally includes linux/mca.h which in turn unconditionally includes asm/mca.h. This breaks drivers on platforms with ISA but not MCA, like alpha. Signed-off-by:

The patch below gets rid of io_apic_sync(). io_apic_sync() was introduced in 2.1.104 and it was originally done for masking and unmasking as well. Later the unmasking use got removed but the masking use lingered around. I dont think it was ever justified to do it and clearly since the lack of io_apic_sync() didnt break some of the other writes we do to the IO-APIC registers, it must be unnecessary in the masking case too.

the patch below gets rid of APIC_LOCKUP_DEBUG. It has been in the kernel for more than 3 years and the message was only reported once during that period of time - and even in that case it was a side-effect of a really bad crash. The lockup workaround works, the debugging code can be moved out. Signed-off-by:

This cleans up io_apic.c a bit -- I do not really like 4 copies of same code. Ingo said: yeah, agreed - i checked & test it, it's ok. I made a small modification (see the patch below) to uninline the __modify_IO_APIC_irq() function - shaving 0.5K off the kernel's size. Signed-off-by:

do_generic_mapping_read() { isize1 = i_size_read(); ... readpage copy_to_user up to isize1; } readpage() { isize2 = i_size_read(); ... read blocks ... zero-fill all blocks past isize2 } If a second thread runs truncate and shrinks i_size, so isize1 and isize2 are different, the read can return up to a page of zero-fill that shouldn't really exist. The trick is to read isize1 after doing the readpage. I realised this is the right way to do it without having to change the readpage API. The patch should not cost any cycles when reading from pagecache. Signed-off-by: -
Andrew Morton authored
Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> points out that invalidate_inode_pages2() is supposed to mark mapped-into-pagetable pages as not uptodate so that next time someone faults the page in we will go get a new version from backing store. The callers are the direct-io code and the NFS "something changed on the server" code. In both these cases we do need to go and re-read the page. Signed-off-by:

Various small tweaks. Compiled and booted. 1. add IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOURCE_MEM also for the kernel code and data resources. I don't believe this actually matters one bit, but they're hooked into a BUSY/MEM parent ("System RAM") and marking them busy seems to make sense. 2. delete the .start = 1M default for the kernel code resource. This isn't actually a change; it's set to virt_to_phys(_text) in setup_arch() overriding any default anyways. 3. s/vram_resource/video_ram_resource/. Lines up much nicer with video_rom_resource... 4. s/checksum/romchecksum/. setup.c is a fairly large file, and "checksum" pollutes the namespace. Signed-off-by: -

Here is a reworked version of my patch to ext3 to retry certain filesystem operations after an ENOSPC error. The ext3_should_retry_alloc() function will not wait on the currently running transaction if there is a currently active handle; hence this should avoid deadlocks in the Lustre use case. The patch is versus BK-recent. I've also included a simple, reliable test case which demonstrates the problem this patch is intended to fix. (Note that BK-recent is not sufficient to address this test case, and waiting on the commiting transaction in ext3_new_block is also not sufficient. Been there, tried that, didn't work. We need to do the full-bore retry from the top level. The ext3_should_retry_alloc() will only wait on the committing transaction if there is an active handle; hence Lustre will probably also need to use ext3_should_retry_alloc() if it wants to reliably avoid this particular problem.) #!/bin/sh # # TEST_DIR=/tmp IMAGE=$TEST_DIR/retry.img MNTPT=$TEST_DIR/retry.mnt TEST_SRC=/usr/projects/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs/build MKE2FS_OPTS="" IMAGE_SIZE=8192 umount $MNTPT dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMAGE bs=4k count=$IMAGE_SIZE mke2fs -j -F $MKE2FS_OPTS $IMAGE function test_log () { echo $* logger -p local4.notice $* } mkdir -p $MNTPT mount -o loop -t ext3 $IMAGE $MNTPT test_log Retry test: BEGIN for i in `seq 1 3` do test_log "Retry test: Loop $i" echo 2 > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug while ! mkdir -p $MNTPT/foo/bar do test_log "Retry test: mkdir failed" sleep 1 done echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug cp -r $TEST_SRC $MNTPT/foo/bar 2> /dev/null rm -rf $MNTPT/* done umount $MNTPT test_log "Retry test: END" akpm@osdl.org Rework the code to make it a formal JBD API entry point.

std_resources.{c,h} was only split off due to pc9800 wanting to override it. With it gone, it might as well be merged back in. Doesn't change any code. It was compiled and booted. This time this also actually doesn't break compilation of any of the subarches. That's to say, any further. I guess it might have been my .config (my regular PC config, with just the subarch switched through menuconfig) or O=, but only ELAN actually compiled. Voyager and VISWS bombed out at the final link and NUMAQ much sooner (with "physnode_map undeclared" during compilation of numaq.c). Signed-off-by: -

The following patches introduce per user rlimits for both queued signals and POSIX message queues. The changes touch all the arches resource.h files as well as init_task.c to get the rlimit defaults setup. Both require caching the user_struct to avoid problems with setuid(). The signal changes makes some small changes to send_signal() to pass along the task being signalled to get proper accounting for signals initiated in interrupt. Thanks to Marcelo for getting this one going. This patch: Add an rlimit entry to control the maximum number of pending signals a user may have. This is essentially just the resource.h changes.

There were definately some problems in there. I've made some changes and tested with a lot of bounds. I don't have a machine with enough memory to fill it up (it would take ~16GB on a 64-bit machine), but I use the "above" code to simulate a lot of situations. The problems were: * IDR_FULL was not the right value * idr_get_new_above() was not defined in the headers or documented. * idr_alloc() bug-ed if there was a race and not enough memory was allocated. It should have returned NULL. * id will overflow when you go past the end. * There was a "(id >= (1 << (layers*IDR_BITS)))" comparison, but at the top layer it would overflow the id and be zero. * The allocation should return ENOSPC for an "above" value with nothing above it, but it returned EAGAIN. I have not tested on 64-bits (as I don't have a 64-bit machine). I've included the files, a diff from the previous version, and my test programs. For the test programs, idr_test <size> will just attempt to allocate <size> elements, check them, free them, and check them again. idr_test2 <size> <incr> will allocate <size> element with <incr> between them. idr_test3 just tests some bounds and tries all values with just a few in the idr.

idr_get_new() currently returns an incrementing counter in the top 8 bits of the counter. Which means that most users have to mask it off again, and we only have a 24-bit range. So remove that counter. Also: - Remove the BITS_PER_INT define due to namespace collision risk. - Make MAX_ID_SHIFT 31, so counters have a 0 to 2G-1 range. - Why is MAX_ID_SHIFT using sizeof(int) and not sizeof(long)? If it's for consistency across 32- and 64-bit machines, why not just make it "31"? - Does this still hold true with the counter removed? /* We can only use half the bits in the top level because there are only four possible bits in the top level (5 bits * 4 levels = 25 bits, but you only use 24 bits in the id). */ If not, what needs to change?

* On a 32-bit architecture, the idr code will cease to work if you add more than 2^20 entries. You will not be able to find many of the entries. The problem is that the IDR code uses 5-bit chunks of the number and the lower portion used by IDR is 24 bits, so you have one bit that leaks over into the comparisons that should not be there. The solution is to mask off that bit before doing IDR processing. This actually causes the POSIX timer code to crash if you create that many timers. I have included an idr_test.tar.gz file that demonstrates this with and without the fix, in case you need more evidence :). * When the IDR fills up, it returns -1. However, there was no way to check for this condition. This patch adds the ability to check for the idr being full and fixes all the users. It also fixes a problem in fs/super.c where the idr code wasn't checking for -1. * There was a race condition creating POSIX timers. The timer was added to a task struct for another process then the data for the timer was filled out. The other task could use/destroy time timer as soon as it is in the task's queue and the lock is released. This moves settup up the timer data to before the timer is enqueued or (for some data) into the lock. * Change things so that the caller doesn't need to run idr_full() to find out the reason for an idr_get_new() failure. Just return -ENOSPC if the tree was full, or -EAGAIN if the caller needs to re-run idr_pre_get() and try again. Signed-off-by:
