2008-05-26posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on execOleg Nesterov
Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.

2008-05-26posix timers: sigqueue_free: don't free sigqueue if it is queuedOleg Nesterov
Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the "full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all. Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list if it is queued. This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value, and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits the number of posix timers.

2008-05-25[WATCHDOG] Fix booke_wdt.c on MPC85xx SMP system'sChen Gong
On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog. If only one watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't enable the watchdog is hung, system can't reset because no watchdog is running on it. That's bad. It means we must enable watchdogs on both cores. We can use smp_call_function() to send appropriate messages to all the other cores to enable and update the watchdog.

2008-05-24spi: remove some spidev oops-on-rmmod pathsDavid Brownell
Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the underlying device is removed (e.g. spi_master rmmod), open file descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that device. On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior <bigeasy@tglx.de> ... This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev. (It also fixes an issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or received.) There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately).

2008-05-24cgroups: remove node_ prefix_from ns subsystemCedric Le Goater
This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api. The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named "node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.) The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared - something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more complete container/namespace support in order to be useful. I suspect the only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on containers@lists.linux-foundation.org. And in fact it would only be noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for the process in question. Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.

2008-05-24memory hotplug: fix early allocation handlingHeiko Carstens
Trying to add memory via add_memory() from within an initcall function results in bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed! Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide if it should use the bootmem allocator or not. When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore. So the allocation will fail. To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it everywhere else.

2008-05-24zonelists: handle a node zonelist with no applicable entriesAndy Whitcroft
When booting 2.6.26-rc3 on a multi-node x86_32 numa system we are seeing panics when trying node local allocations: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000034c IP: [<c1042507>] get_page_from_freelist+0x4a/0x18e *pdpt = 00000000013a7001 *pde = 0000000000000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.26-rc3-00003-g5abc28d #82) EIP: 0060:[<c1042507>] EFLAGS: 00010282 CPU: 0 EIP is at get_page_from_freelist+0x4a/0x18e EAX: c1371ed8 EBX: 00000000 ECX: 00000000 EDX: 00000000 ESI: f7801180 EDI: 00000000 EBP: 00000000 ESP: c1371ec0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 Process swapper (pid: 0, ti=c1370000 task=c12f5b40 task.ti=c1370000) Stack: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 000612d0 000412d0 00000000 000412d0 f7801180 f7c0101c f7c01018 c10426e4 f7c01018 00000001 00000044 00000000 00000001 c12f5b40 00000001 00000010 00000000 000412d0 00000286 000412d0 Call Trace: [<c10426e4>] __alloc_pages_internal+0x99/0x378 [<c10429ca>] __alloc_pages+0x7/0x9 [<c105e0e8>] kmem_getpages+0x66/0xef [<c105ec55>] cache_grow+0x8f/0x123 [<c105f117>] ____cache_alloc_node+0xb9/0xe4 [<c105f427>] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x92/0xd2 [<c122118c>] setup_cpu_cache+0xaf/0x177 [<c105e6ca>] kmem_cache_create+0x2c8/0x353 [<c13853af>] kmem_cache_init+0x1ce/0x3ad [<c13755c5>] start_kernel+0x178/0x1ee This occurs when we are scanning the zonelists looking for a ZONE_NORMAL page. In this system there is only ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL memory on node 0, all other nodes are mapped above 4GB physical. Here is a dump of the zonelists from this system: zonelists pgdat=c1400000 0: c14006c0:2 f7c006c0:2 f7e006c0:2 c1400360:1 c1400000:0 1: c14006c0:2 c1400360:1 c1400000:0 zonelists pgdat=f7c00000 0: f7c006c0:2 f7e006c0:2 c14006c0:2 c1400360:1 c1400000:0 1: f7c006c0:2 zonelists pgdat=f7e00000 0: f7e006c0:2 c14006c0:2 f7c006c0:2 c1400360:1 c1400000:0 1: f7e006c0:2 When performing a node local allocation we call get_page_from_freelist() looking for a page. It in turn calls first_zones_zonelist() which returns a preferred_zone. Where there are no applicable zones this will be NULL. However we use this unconditionally, leading to this panic. Where there are no applicable zones there is no possibility of a successful allocation, so simply fail the allocation.
