This enhances the network simulation scheduler to do simple random loss. The loss parameter is a simple 32 bit value such that 0 means no loss, and 0xffffffff is always drop. I have a new version of the tc command which takes care of conversion from percent to this value. Same patch for 2.4 and 2.6 Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com>

If delay scheduler decides not to send the packet right away, it requeues it. If the requeue fails, it should go and look again rather than waking up prematurely. Same patch should apply to both 2.6 and 2.4 Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com>

The whole effort to avoid hotplug was misguided. If it is really a problem (which it doesn't appear to be) then it can more easily be addressed by smarter hotplug scripts in user space. This patch gets rid of the whole subsystem hack for bridge kobjects. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com>

This is a fix for when we encounter an alias during insert. When that happens we move the request to dispatch, but it may happen that this request is also the ->last_merge hint. So we may attempt to merge with this later, when it's either in progress or already freed. Rearrange the logic a bit so we clear the merge hint there as well. It looks more complex than it is, the only real code change is the addition of a cfq_remove_merge_hints() in cfq_dispatch_sort(). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This cset adds the code to handle the hardware vector floating point unit found on some ARM926 and later CPUs. The hardware provides an implementation for the common cases, and bounces exceptions for other cases, which have to be handled in software, and signalling SIGFPE as appropriate.

Remove unused queued_signals global accounting. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Chris Wright authored
Add a user_struct pointer to the sigqueue structure. Charge sigqueue allocation and destruction to the user_struct rather than a global pool. This per user rlimit accounting obsoletes the global queued_signals accouting. The patch as charges the sigqueue struct allocation to the queue that it's pending on (the receiver of the signal). So the owner of the queue is charged for whoever writes to it (much like quota for a 777 file). The patch started out charging the task which allocated the sigqueue struct. In most cases, these are always the same user (permission for sending a signal), so those cases are moot. In the cases where it isn't the same user, it's a privileged user sending a signal to another user. It seems wrong to charge the allocation to the privleged user, when the other user could block receipt as long as it feels. The flipside is, someone else can fill your queue (expectation is that someone else is privileged). I think it's right the way it is. The change to revert is very small.

Distros have started to ship kernels with this patch, as it seems that some unnamed binary module authors are already abusing this function (as well as some open source modules, like the openib code.) I could not find any valid reason why this symbol should be exported, so here's a patch against 2.6.7 that removes it.

Hit a bug check when unmap a hugetlb vma in PAE mode on i386 (and x86-64).

It happens if the virtual address for hugetlb mmap is recycled from previously used normal page mmap. free_pgtables() might not scrub the pmd entry on munmap and hugetlb_prefault skips on any pmd presence regardless what type it is.

This patch fixes some problems with handling of channel detection in the driver. Some systems that are IPMI 1.5 do not implement the channel query command. Also, the interface has to be fully up before the command is ready. This patch also adds a polling interface; this is required for situations where interrupts are not running, but the system must still issue IPMI commands, like when taking a crash dump. It also updates the driver version to v32. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch moves the security_netlink_send() LSM hook after the user copy, so that LSM modules can safely examine skb payload content. For SELinux, we need to look at the Netlink message type.

This patch regenerates the SELinux module headers to reflect new class and access vectors definitions. The size of the diff is misleading; much of it is simply a change in the ordering of the automatically generated definitions. The corresponding generation script has been changed to ensure a stable order in the future. Please apply. Author: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> Cc: David S.
