Touching vmalloc memory in the middle of a lazy mode update can generate a kernel PDE update, which must be flushed immediately. The fix is to leave lazy mode when doing a vmalloc sync. Signed-off-by:

After doing some tests this seems to be the best variant for s390 and should be correct as well. With gcc 4.2.1 we get the following kernel image sizes using the default configuration: atomic_t type volatile, atomic_read/set defines 5311824 bytes atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set defines 5270864 bytes atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set inline asm 5279056 bytes atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set inline barrier 5270864 bytes Signed-off-by:

Placing a kprobe on "bc" instruction (s390/s390x) can cause an oops. The instruction length is encoded into the first two bits of the s390 instruction. Kprobe is incorrectly computing the instruction length. The instruction length is used for determining what type of "fix-up" is needed for conditional branch instruction. The problem can bee seen by placing a kprobe on a "bc" instruction that will not branch. The results is that Kprobe incorrectly computes the new instruction pointer (psw.addr) after single stepping the instruction. The problem is corrected with this patch. Signed-off-by:

hypfs removes the whole hypfs directory tree and creates a new one, when a process triggers an update by writing to the "update" attribute. When removing and creating files, it is necessary to lock the inode of the parent directory where the files live. Currently hypfs does not lock the parent inode, which can lead to inode corruption. This patch: * Introduces correct locking * Fixes i_nlink reference counting for inodes, when creating directories * Adds info printk, when hypfs filesystem has been mounted Signed-off-by:

The instruction table for b2 opcodes was missing an opfrag value for the cpya instruction. All instructions specified after cpya were not considered by the disassembler. The fix is simple and obvious - add the opfrag field to the cpya instruction. Signed-off-by:

When a vmur device is removed due to a detach of the device, currently the ur device structure is freed. Unfortunately it can happen, that there is still a user of the device structure, when the character device is open during the detach process. To fix this, reference counting for the vmur structure is introduced. In addition to that, the online, offline, probe and remove functions are serialized now using a global mutex. Signed-off-by:

There are several s390 diagnose calls, which must be executed below the 2GB memory boundary. In order to enforce this, those diagnoses must be compiled into the kernel. Currently diag 14 can be called within the vmur kernel module from addresses above 2GB. This leads to specification exceptions. This patch moves diag10, diag14 and diag210 into the new diag.c file.

Hipersocket Multicast queue works asynchronously. When sending buffers, the buffer state change may happen delayed. The tasklet for checking changes in the outbound queue excluded IQDIO async queues from this process. This created either a hang situation when the queue ran full, or presented a hang situation a interface close time. The tasklet processing is changed to include IQDIO async queues when requesting buffer state refresh. Signed-off-by:

QDIO returned from EQBS instruction in any case after return code CCQ=96 was issued regardless whether buffer states for at least one buffer were extracted or not. This caused FCP devices to hang when running under z/VM and having QIOASSASIST=ON and having high I/O rates. In order to fix this qdio return code processing of EQBS instruction after CCQ=96 is changed that buffers are returned and if no buffers where extracted the instruction is repeated at once.

cmf currently prints a message that more than 4096 channels are not allowed in basic mode - however, this can only be enforced if cmf was a module (which is no longer possible). It makes much more sense to not check the specified number of channels and just print a message if the block for basic mode could not be allocated (which may happen for any number of specified channels).

This patch addresses the issue with "osize too small" errors in mppe encryption. The patch fixes the issue with wrong output buffer size being passed to ppp decompression routine. -------------------- As pointed out by Suresh Mahalingam, the issue addressed by ppp-fix-osize-too-small-errors-when-decoding patch is not fully resolved yet. The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong. The patch fixes that. -------------------- Signed-off-by:

Easily avoidable compiler warnings bug me. Building irmod without CONFIG_SYSCTL currently results in : net/irda/irmod.c:132: warning: label 'out_err_2' defined but not used But that can easily be avoided by simply moving the label inside the existing "#ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL" one line above it. This patch moves the label and buys us one less warning with no ill effects. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 196705c9. It was reported to cause a regression by Daniel Exner, and Arjan van de Ven points out that we actually already have infrastructure in place for setting limits on acceptable DMA latency that would be the much more correct fix for the problem with some Broadcom EHCI controllers. Fixed up trivial conflicts due to the changes to support big-endian host controller descriptors in drivers/usb/host/{ehci-sched.c,ehci.h}. Signed-off-by:

This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than manually trying to track which fields we rely on being zero. It passed aio+dio stress testing and some bug regression testing on ext3. This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up to Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit: 6a648fa7 It makes the code a bit smaller. Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to load, if we're lucky: text data bss dec hex filename 3285925 568506 1304616 5159047 4eb887 vmlinux 3285797 568506 1304616 5158919 4eb807 vmlinux.patched I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu cycles spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads at ~340MB/s. So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like .map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the code.
