When sysctl_sched_rt_runtime is set to something other than -1 and the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED kernel parameter is NOT enabled, we get into a state where we see one or more CPUs idling forvever even though there are real-time tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled). The sequence is: - A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched out, and idle is switched in since there are no non-rt tasks to run on that cpu. - Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever. If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code from the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled version of this same routine and resched_task() the currently executing task (idle in our case) if it is a lower priority task than the higher rt task in the now un-throttled runqueue, the problem is no longer observed.

Some DVB adapters do not support the special I2C transaction that we use for probing purposes. There's no point in logging this event, as there's nothing the user can do and in general there is no actual problem. So, degrade one of these messages to a debug message, and move the other one around so that it is only printed on bogus drivers.

The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is sizeof(struct sctp_authkey).

Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held for the right side. This implements the fix differently against the updated tty code. Patch by self but the hard bit (noticing and fixing the bug) is thanks to Kanru Chen. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Here's the patch. It shrinks the stack from 1152 bytes to 192 bytes (the first version, that only did the e1000_option part, got it down to 600 bytes). About half comes from not using multiple "e1000_option" structures, the other half comes from turning the "e1000_opt_list[]" arrays into "static const" instead, so that gcc doesn't copy them onto the stack.

I've been painstakingly debugging the issue with suspend to ram and ftraced. The 2.6.28 code does not have this issue, but since the mcount recording is not going to be in 27, this must be solved for the ftrace daemon version. The resume from suspend to ram would reboot because it was triple faulting. Debugging further, I found that calling the mcount function itself was not an issue, but it would fault when it incremented preempt_count. preempt_count is on the tasks info structure that is on the low memory address of the task's stack. For some reason, it could not write to it. Resuming out of suspend to ram does quite a lot of funny tricks to get to work, so it is not surprising at all that simply doing a preempt_disable() would cause a fault. Thanks to Rafael for suggesting to add a "while (1);" to find the place in resuming that is causing the fault. I would place the loop somewhere in the code, compile and reboot and see if it would either reboot (hit the fault) or simply hang (hit the loop). Doing this over and over again, I narrowed it down that it was happening in enable_nonboot_cpus. At this point, I found that it is easier to simply disable tracing around the suspend code, instead of searching for the particular function that can not handle doing a preempt_disable. This patch disables the tracer as it suspends and reenables it on resume. I tested this patch on my Laptop, and it can resume fine with the patch.

This reverts commit 5b6155ee, because the block device ioctl's really aren't ready for it. In particular, the "struct file *" and the "struct inode *" arguments do not necessarily match, which means that the unlocked version of the ioctl (that only gets a "struct file *") isn't actually able to handle the cases it needs to handle.

Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *. This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone. Even if page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.
