There is no page->offset anymore and also no associated limit on the number of objects. The page->offset field was removed for 2.6.24. So the check in kmem_cache_flags() is now also obsolete (should have been dropped earlier, somehow a hunk vanished).

The sysfs callback is better named show_slab_objects since it is always called from the xxx_show callbacks. We need the name for other purposes later. Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

This only made sense for the alternate fastpath which was reverted last week. Mathieu is working on a new version that addresses the fastpath issues but that new code first needs to go through mm and it is not clear if we need the unique end pointers with his new scheme.

Linus Torvalds authored
The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size (which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional limit. See commit b6a2fea3 ("mm: variable length argument support") for details. However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings could actually be smaller than the old limit. So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that traditional limit. (Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

This reverts commit cded932b. Arjan bisected down a boot-time hang to this, saying: ".. it prevents the kernel to finish booting on my (Penryn based) laptop. The boot stops right after freeing the init memory." and while it's not clear exactly what triggers it, at this stage we're better off just reverting it while Ingo tries to figure out what went wrong.

The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then a gap to the next 4K page boundary. It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately, saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but we also use it to set the NPPT value in the segment table entry. That is defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate it as such regardless of the IOMMU page size.

Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being too large. So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately.

-
Michael Ellerman authored
The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset. This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit of every DMA address. However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset at all. As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use it instead!

The shared workqueue tried to run firewire-core's device initialization jobs or similar jobs. The fix makes sure that firewire-ohci and hence firewire-core is not unloaded before all device shutdown jobs have been completed. This is determined by the count of device initializations minus device releases. Also skip useless retries in the node initialization job if the node is to be shut down.

Patch "firewire: fw-sbp2: fix NULL pointer deref. in scsi_remove_device" had the unintended effect that firewire-sbp2 could not be unloaded anymore until all SBP-2 devices were unplugged.

Hi, While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE (end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog. Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic. This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules. These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come through while auditd is stopped. This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try? At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will eventually know that things went bad. The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk this code path.
