Use the added dev_alloc_name() call to create tunnel device name, rather than iterate in a hand-made loop with an artificial limit. Thanks Patrick for noticing this. [ The way this works is, when the device is actually registered, the generic code noticed the '%' in the name and invokes dev_alloc_name() to fully resolve the name. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by:

MAC_FMT had only one user and we tried to get rid of that, but this created more problems than it solved. As a result, this reverts three commits: 235365f3 ("net/8021q/vlan_dev.c: Use print_mac."), fea5fa87 ("[NET]: Remove MAC_FMT"), and 8f789c48 ("[NET]: Elminate spurious print_mac() calls.")

The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval. Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the ->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash under this lock read-locked closes this gap. Signed-off-by:

RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case. The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be smart with not transmitting all zero addresses. Signed-off-by:

When asked to blink LEDs the tg3 driver behaves when using: ethtool -p ethX The default value for data is zero, and other drivers interpret this as blink forever (or at least a really long time). The tg3 driver interprets this as blink once. All drivers should have the same behaviour. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures, the traditional sequence of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (CONDITION) return; schedule(); is racy wrt another CPU doing CONDITION = 1; wake_up_process(p); because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side. Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier, but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock. However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old state). This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the spinlock already gave the required protection).

(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...) A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example. We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs. Signed-off-by:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.meminit.text+0x649): Section mismatch in reference from the function free_area_init_core() to the function .init.text:setup_usemap() The function __meminit free_area_init_core() references a function __init setup_usemap(). If free_area_init_core is only used by setup_usemap then annotate free_area_init_core with a matching annotation. The warning is covers this stack of functions in mm/page_alloc.c: alloc_bootmem_node must be marked __init. alloc_bootmem_node is used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM. (usemap_size is only used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.) setup_usemap is only used by free_area_init_core. free_area_init_core is only used by free_area_init_node. free_area_init_node is used by: arch/alpha/mm/numa.c: __init paging_init() arch/arm/mm/init.c: __init bootmem_init_node() arch/avr32/mm/init.c: __init paging_init() arch/cris/arch-v10/mm/init.c: __init paging_init() arch/cris/arch-v32/mm/init.c: __init paging_init() arch/m32r/mm/discontig.c: __init zone_sizes_init() arch/m32r/mm/init.c: __init zone_sizes_init() arch/m68k/mm/motorola.c: __init paging_init() arch/m68k/mm/sun3mmu.c: __init paging_init() arch/mips/sgi-ip27/ip27-memory.c: __init paging_init() arch/parisc/mm/init.c: __init paging_init() arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c: __init srmmu_paging_init() arch/sparc/mm/sun4c.c: __init sun4c_paging_init() arch/sparc64/mm/init.c: __init paging_init() mm/page_alloc.c: __init free_area_init_nodes() mm/page_alloc.c: __init free_area_init() and mm/memory_hotplug.c: hotadd_new_pgdat() hotadd_new_pgdat can not be an __init function, but: It is compiled for MEMORY_HOTPLUG configurations only MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on X86_64 ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32 ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32 So X86_64_ACPI_NUMA implies SPARSEMEM, right? So we can mark the stack of functions __init for !SPARSEMEM, but we must mark them __meminit for SPARSEMEM configurations. This is ok, because then the calls to alloc_bootmem_node are also avoided.

Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the memory controller. At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a single cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM. At earlier review I remembered asking for a external data structure for this. It's also quite unobvious that a innocent looking Kconfig option with a single line Kconfig description has such a negative effect. This patch attempts to document these disadvantages at least so that users configuring their kernel can make a informed decision. Signed-off-by:

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.

When the futex init code fails to initialize the futex pseudo file system it returns early without initializing the hash queues. Should the boot succeed then a futex syscall which tries to enqueue a waiter on the hashqueue will crash due to the unitilialized plist heads. Initialize the hash queues before the filesystem.

Adding the same item to a given linked list more than once is guaranteed to break and corrupt the list. This is however what we do in dmi_scan since commit 79da4721 ("x86: fix DMI out of memory problems"). Given that there is absolutely no interest in saving empty OEM strings anyway, I propose the simple and efficient fix below: we discard the empty OEM strings altogether. Signed-off-by:
