This flag denotes local attachment of the phy. There are two problems with it: 1) It's actually redundant ... you can get the same information simply by seeing whether a host is the phys parent 2) we condition a lot of phy parameters on it on the false assumption that we can only control local phys. I'm wiring up phy resets in the aic94xx now, and it will be able to reset non-local phys as well. I fixed 2) by moving the local check into the reset and stats function of the mptsas, since that seems to be the only HBA that can't (currently) control non-local phys.

Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes. Specifically it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This is because certain drivers don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful safeguard anyway. Signed-off-by:

cpuset_excl_nodes_overlap always returns 0 if current is exiting. This caused customer's systems to panic in the OOM killer when processes were having trouble getting memory for the final put_user in mm_release. Even though there were lots of processes to kill. Change to returning 1 in this case. This achieves parity with !CONFIG_CPUSETS case, and was observed to fix the problem. Signed-off-by:

JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs. With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page boundary causing IO problems. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127 So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.

Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed by their cpuset. Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem, driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch. Signed-off-by:

If we - shut down a clean array, - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing - make some changes - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean', the event count on the superblock of included drives will be the same as that of the removed drives. So adding the removed drive back in will cause it to be included with no resync. To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case where updating-backwards is valuable. Signed-off-by:

1) When we allocated last fragment in ufs_truncate, we read page, check if block mapped to address, and if not trying to allocate it. This is wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this happened because of "block map" function not checked allocated fragment or not, it just take address of the first fragment in the block, add offset of fragment and return result, this is correct behaviour in almost all situation except call from ufs_truncate. 2) Almost all implementation of UFS, which I can investigate have such "defect": if you have full disk, and try truncate file, for example 3GB to 2MB, and have hole in this region, truncate return -ENOSPC. I tried evade from this problem, but "block allocation" algorithm is tied to right value of i_lastfrag, and fix of this corner case may slow down of ordinaries scenarios, so this patch makes behavior of "truncate" operations similar to what other UFS implementations do.

On UFS, this scenario: open(O_TRUNC) lseek(1024 * 1024 * 80) write("A") lseek(1024 * 2) write("A") may cause access to invalid address. This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way in block allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4. We use construction like this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to direct blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements, and lastfrag may have value for example 40000. Also this patch fixes related to handling such scenario issues, wrong zeroing metadata, in case of block(not fragment) allocation, and wrong goal calculation, when we allocate block Signed-off-by: -

To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no block reservation. Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for the initial goal block group in this case. The patch fixes this. Signed-off-by:

futex_find_get_task: if (p->state == EXIT_ZOMBIE || p->exit_state == EXIT_ZOMBIE) return NULL; I can't understand this. First, p->state can't be EXIT_ZOMBIE. The ->exit_state check looks strange too. Sub-threads or tasks whose ->parent ignores SIGCHLD go directly to EXIT_DEAD state (I am ignoring a ptrace case). Why EXIT_DEAD tasks should be ok? Yes, EXIT_ZOMBIE is more important (a task may stay zombie for a long time), but this doesn't mean we should explicitely ignore other EXIT_XXX states. Signed-off-by:

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character. But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested) patch: Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure). Signed-off-by:

I wish I was happier about this patch. It'll serve as a placeholder for the moment. I'm still trying to get a G550 working in order to even reproduce the problem this patch introduces. I find that the G450 has jitter even without this patch, so it won't show me what the patch changed. At this point, I'll continue trying to get the G550 to work, and in parallel work with the G450 to work out the kinks. The patch is below. Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on the G550, at least on x86 architectures. Signed-off-by:

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is not endianess independent in the original code. After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this lock fixed the problem. Alan sayeth: Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for neatness. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

Ignore the return value of early_init_acpi(), as it can give false error messages. If there is something really wrong, then register_driver will fail cleanly with EINVAL later. [ background: modprobe acpi-cpufreq on systems not capable of speed-scaling started failing with 'invalid argument', where previously it would only ever -ENODEV I'm not 100% happy with the solution.
