If someone has renamed a directory on the server, triggering the d_move code in d_materialise_unique(), then we need to invalidate the cached directory information in the source parent directory.

If the caller tries to instantiate a directory using an inode that already has a dentry alias, then we attempt to rename the existing dentry instead of instantiating a new one. Fail with an ELOOP error if the rename would affect one of our parent directories.

CCISS was producing warnings about shifts being greater than the size of the type and pointers being of incompatible type. Turns out this is because it's calling do_div on a 32-bit quantity. Upon further investigation, the sector_t total_size is being assigned to an int, and then we're calling do_div on that int. Obviously, sector_div is called for here, and I took the chance to refactor the code a little.

Mistyped an ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS - fixed. I doubt that anyone ever noticed. The impact of this typo was that if someone: 1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations 2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement 3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory 4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking then there was a rare chance that future allocations using that MPOL_BIND policy would be node local, not off node.

The zonelist may contain zones of nodes that have not been bootstrapped and we will oops if we try to allocate from those zones. So check if the node information for the slab and the node have been setup before attempting an allocation. If it has not been setup then skip that zone. Usually we will not encounter this situation since the slab bootstrap code avoids falling back before we have setup the respective nodes but we seem to have a special needs for pppc.

The recent commit 751ae21c introduced a bug in the producer/consumer index calculation in the ibmveth driver - incautious use of the post-increment ++ operator resulted in an increment being immediately reverted. This patch corrects the logic. Without this patch, the driver oopses almost immediately after activation on at least some machines.

I have an acpi_pm that goes backwards, but it's not intel. I tested the verified read and my acpi_pm started to function properly. So I added it to the greylist. I'm assuming that's the right spot.

The change from __setup() to module_param_named() requires users to prefix the option with "generic.". This patch re-adds the __setup() additionally to the module_param_named(). Usually it would make sense getting rid of such an obsolete __setup() at some time, but considering that drivers/ide/ is slowly approaching a RIP status it's already implicitely scheduled for removal.

Commits 881a8c12 and efe1ec27 corrects pci device matching in only one way; it no longer oopses/crashes, despite hotplug is not solved in these changes. Whenever pci_find_device -> pci_get_device change is performed, also pci_dev_get and pci_dev_put should be in most cases called to properly handle hotplug. This patch does exactly this thing -- increase refcount to let kernel know, that we are using this piece of HW just now. It affects moxa and rio char drivers.

By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts. This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled 8259. For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same as i386. Command line options can change all this of course. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

o A recent change to vmlinux.ld.S file broke kexec as now resulting vmlinux program headers are overlapping in physical address space. o Now all the vsyscall related sections are placed after data and after that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap among phdrs, there are three possible solutions. - Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user - move vsyscal sections after init data in bss. - create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections after vsyscall into this new phdr. o This patch implements the third solution.

TARGET_CPUS is the default irq routing poicy. It specifies which cpus the kernel should aim an irq at. In physflat delivery mode we can route an irq to a single cpu. But that doesn't mean our default policy should only be a single cpu is allowed. By allowing the irq routing code to select from multiple cpus this enables systems with more irqs then we can service on a single processor to actually work. I just audited and tested the code and irqbalance doesn't care, and the io_apic.c doesn't care if we have extra cpus in the mask. Everything will use or assume we are using the lowest numbered cpu in the mask if we can't use them all. So this should result in no behavior changes except on systems that need it.

Thanks to YH Lu for spotting this. It appears I missed this function when I refactored allocate_irq_vector and introduced irq_domain, with the result that all retriggered irqs would go to cpu 0 even if we were not prepared to receive them there. While reviewing YH's patch I also noticed that this function was missing locking, and since I am now reading two values from two diffrent arrays that looks like a race we might be able to hit in the real world.

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls). The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once a fixed linker becomes available. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This avoids some problems with gcc 4.x and earlier generating invalid unwind information. In 4.1 the option is default when unwind information is enabled. And it seems to generate smaller code too, so it's probably a good thing on its own. With gcc 4.0: i386: 4683198 902112 480868 6066178 5c9002 vmlinux (before) 4449895 902112 480868 5832875 5900ab vmlinux (after) x86-64: 4939761 1449584 648216 7037561 6b6279 vmlinux (before) 4854193 1449584 648216 6951993 6a1439 vmlinux (after) On 4.1 it shouldn't make much difference because it is default when unwind is enabled anyways.

Currently some code pieces assume that address returned by find_e820_area() are page aligned. But looks like find_e820_area() had no such intention and hence one might end up stomping over some of the data. One such case is bootmem allocator initialization code stomped over bss. This patch modified find_e820_area() to return page aligned address. This might be little wasteful of memory but at the same time probably it is easier to handle page aligned memory.

The arch/x86_64/pci directory was giving problems in a wierd cross-compile environment. The exact cause is unknown, but the Makefile used CFLAGS instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS.

This patch corrects the logic used in srat.c to figure out what parsing what action to take when registering hot-add areas. Hot-add areas should only be added to the node information for the MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE case. When booting MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE hot-add areas on everything but the last node are getting include in the node data and during kernel boot the pages are setup then the kernel dies when the pages are used.
