This attempts to avoid splittings when it is not needed, that is when vm_flags are same as new flags. The idea is from the <2.6.11 mlock_fixup and others. This will provide base for the next madvise merging patch. Signed-off-by:

Fix a problem identified by Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> kswapd will set a zone into all_unreclaimable state if it sees that we're not successfully reclaiming LRU pages. But that fails to notice that we're successfully reclaiming slab obects, so we can set all_unreclaimable too soon. So change shrink_slab() to return a success indication if it actually reclaimed some objects, and don't assume that the zone is all_unreclaimable if that is true. This means that we won't enter all_unreclaimable state if we are successfully freeing slab objects but we're not yet actually freeing slab pages, due to internal fragmentation. (hm, this has a shortcoming. We could be successfully freeing ZONE_NORMAL slab objects while being really oom on ZONE_DMA. If that happens then kswapd might burn a lot of CPU. But given that there might be some slab objects in ZONE_DMA, perhaps that is appropriate.) Signed-off-by:

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that Arjan van de Ven and I came up with. The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the usage side. Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined __smp_processor_id. In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols: - smp_processor_id(): debug variant. - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h. There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT: - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to smp_processor_id(). Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or clarified. I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86: {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT} I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other architectures are untested, but should work just fine.) Signed-off-by:Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by:

Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly. This will fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running compatibility mode apps. a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. And instead of exec failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to succeed previously. b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning ENOMEM. c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail. mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0); Signed-off-by:

The implementation is optimal for UltraSPARC-III and later. It will work, however suboptimally, on UltraSPARC-II and be treated as a NOP on UltraSPARC-I. It is not worth code patching this thing as the highest cost is the code space, and code patching cannot eliminate that. Signed-off-by:David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Here's a much smaller patch to simply disable devfs from the build. If this goes well, and there are no complaints for a few weeks, I'll resend my big "devfs-die-die-die" series of patches that rip the whole thing out of the kernel tree. Signed-off-by:

Here is a simplified version of the patch to fix a bug in IPv6 multicasting. It: 1) adds existence check & EADDRINUSE error for regular joins 2) adds an exception for EADDRINUSE in the source-specific multicast join (where a prior join is ok) 3) adds a missing/needed read_lock on sock_mc_list; would've raced with destroying the socket on interface down without 4) adds a "leave group" in the (INCLUDE, empty) source filter case. This frees unneeded socket buffer memory, but also prevents an inappropriate interaction among the 8 socket options that mess with this. Some would fail as if in the group when you aren't really. Item #4 had a locking bug in the last version of this patch; rather than removing the idev->lock read lock only, I've simplified it to remove all lock state in the path and treat it as a direct "leave group" call for the (INCLUDE,empty) case it covers. Tested on an MP machine. :-) Much thanks to HoerdtMickael <hoerdt@clarinet.u-strasbg.fr> who reported the original bug. Signed-off-by:David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Essentially netlink at the moment always reports a pid and sequence of 0 always for v6 route activities. To understand the repurcassions of this look at: http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2005-June/003507.html While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well. This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to the process. That made the patch a little bulky. I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as well as ioctl derived one. The Quagga folks have tested against quagga. This fixes the problem and so far hasnt been detected to introduce any new issues. Signed-off-by:

Finally (phew!) this patch demonstrates how to adapt the adm1026 to take advantage of the new callbacks, and the i2c-sysfs.h defined structure/macros. Most of the other sensor/hwmon drivers could be updated in the same way. The odd few exceptions (bmcsensors for example) however might be better off with their own custom attribute structure.

This patch creates a new header with a potential standard i2c sensor attribute type (which simply includes an int representing the sensor number/index) and the associated macros, SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR to define a static attribute and to_sensor_dev_attr to get a sensor_device_attribute reference from an embedded device_attribute reference.
