2008-02-03remove Documentation/smp.txtAdrian Bunk
After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this place. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

2008-02-03fix writev regression: pan hanging unkillable and un-straceableNick Piggin
Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process. Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the iovec iterator does not always advance over them. The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like a failure though, so it loops. Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).
