This fixes a kernel panic on boot due to do_signal not being compatible with it's callers. - do_signal now returns void, and does not have the previous signal set as a parameter. - Remove sys_rt_sigsuspend, we can use the common one instead. - Change sys_sigsuspend to be more like x86, don't call do_signal here. - handle_signal, setup_frame and setup_rt_frame now return -EFAULT if we've delivered a segfault, which is used by callers to perform necessary cleanup. - Break long lines, correct whitespace and formatting errors.

Sometimes cpu_idle_wait gets stuck because it might miss CPUS that are already in idle, have no tasks waiting to run and have no interrupts going to them. This is common on bootup when switching cpu idle governors. This patch gives those CPUS that don't check in an IPI kick. Background: ----------- I notice this while developing the mcount patches, that every once in a while the system would hang. Looking deeper, the hang was always at boot up when registering init_menu of the cpu_idle menu governor. Talking with Thomas Gliexner, we discovered that one of the CPUS had no timer events scheduled for it and it was in idle (running with NO_HZ). So the CPU would not set the cpu_idle_state bit. Hitting sysrq-t a few times would eventually route the interrupt to the stuck CPU and the system would continue. Note, I would have used the PDA isidle but that is set after the cpu_idle_state bit is cleared, and would leave a window open where we may miss being kicked. hmm, looking closer at this, we still have a small race window between clearing the cpu_idle_state and disabling interrupts (hence the RFC). CPU0: CPU 1: --------- --------- cpu_idle_wait(): cpu_idle(): | __cpu_cpu_var(is_idle) = 1; | if (__get_cpu_var(cpu_idle_state)) /* == 0 */ per_cpu(cpu_idle_state, 1) = 1; | if (per_cpu(is_idle, 1)) /* == 1 */ | smp_call_function(1) | | receives ipi and runs do_nothing. wait on map == empty idle(); /* waits forever */ So really we need interrupts off for most of this then. One might think that we could simply clear the cpu_idle_state from do_nothing, but I'm assuming that cpu_idle governors can be removed, and this might cause a race that a governor might be used after the module was removed. Venki said: I think your RFC patch is the right solution here. As I see it, there is no race with your RFC patch. As long as you call a dummy smp_call_function on all CPUs, we should be OK. We can get rid of cpu_idle_state and the current wait forever logic altogether with dummy smp_call_function. And so there wont be any wait forever scenario. The whole point of cpu_idle_wait() is to make all CPUs come out of idle loop atleast once. The caller will use cpu_idle_wait something like this. // Want to change idle handler - Switch global idle handler to always present default_idle - call cpu_idle_wait so that all cpus come out of idle for an instant and stop using old idle pointer and start using default idle - Change the idle handler to a new handler - optional cpu_idle_wait if you want all cpus to start using the new handler immediately. Maybe the below 1s patch is safe bet for .24. But for .25, I would say we just replace all complicated logic by simple dummy smp_call_function and remove cpu_idle_state altogether.

When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple of 8 bytes. This can make the request look slightly longer than it really is. As of f34b9568 "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero length WRITE request correctly", the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't the right length, so krb5i (for example) WRITE requests can get lost. This patch relaxes the appropriate test and enhances the related comment. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J.

task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places. One of these should never have called it. In the other two, using it broke the existing semantics. This was presumably accidental. If the function had not been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function. In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer. In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid. I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't need it. In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources: 40 While this message is a real error and should thus remain KERN_ERR (even a new dmesg line is seen as a regression by some, since it was not printed in 2.6.23...) it is certainly impolite to print this warning 50 times should you happen to have the oddball system with 90 io resources under a device... So print the warning just once. In 2.6.25 we'll get rid of the limits altogether and these warnings will vanish with them. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a, aka "VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent" to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry lookup to the low-level filesystem. However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag. So fix those test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag ("flag"). Issue noticed by Bill Roman at Datalight.

Here's the reworked patch. This cleans up some unnecessary byte-swapping while setting up tx and interpreting rx desc. The 64 bit rx status data should be converted to host endian format only once and the macros just need to extract bitfields.
