2008-06-06atmel_serial: filter out FP during baud rate detectionHaavard Skinnemoen
I made a change to u-boot that used the FP (Fractional Part) field of BRGR to achieve more accurate baud rate generation. Unfortunately, the atmel_serial driver looks at the whole BRGR register when trying to detect the baud rate that the port is currently running at, so setting FP to a nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection. I'll sit on the u-boot patch for a while longer, but this is clearly a bug in the atmel_serial driver which should be fixed.

2008-06-06ipc: only output msgmni value at boot timeNadia Derbey
When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message that is output each time msgmni is recomputed. In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this message references an ipc namespace address that is useless. I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by Serge Hallyn. But unfortunately, we do not have any other information than the namespace address to provide here too. So I chose to move the message and output it only at boot time, removing the reference to the namespace.

When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in bytes). But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the ABI. So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes. Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.

2008-06-06pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of ↵Thomas Tuttle
/proc/pid/pagemap Fix a bug in add_to_pagemap. Previously, since pm->out was a char *, put_user was only copying 1 byte of every PFN, resulting in the top 7 bytes of each PFN not being copied. By requiring that reads be a multiple of 8 bytes, I can make pm->out and pm->end u64*s instead of char*s, which makes put_user work properly, and also simplifies the logic in add_to_pagemap a bit.

2008-06-06devscgroup: make white list more compact in some casesPavel Emelyanov
Consider you added a 'c foo:bar r' permission to some cgroup and then (a bit later) 'c'foo:bar w' for it. After this you'll see the c foo:bar r c foo:bar w lines in a devices.list file. Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some cgroup (e.g. by mistake). After this you'll see 10 c foo:bar r lines in a list file. This is weird. This situation also has one more annoying consequence. Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine it has to walk a longer list. The proposal is to merge permissions for items, that correspond to the same device.

2008-06-06devscgroup: relax task to dev_cgroup conversionPavel Emelyanov
Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are devcgroup_inode_permission and devcgroup_inode_mknod) make it in a strange way: They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup. Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a enum-ed constant for it. Optimize this part a bit: 1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra dereferences, 2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory (i.e. one less dereference). Found while preparing 2.6.26 OpenVZ port.

2008-06-06uml: deal with inaccessible address space startTom Spink
This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space, as well as the top. This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap addresses. It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a valid page is found. Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the address space. The size is the difference between the top address and bottom address. [jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and changed the return value to reflect that.

2008-06-06nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUBPaul Mundt
kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's reuse of the index in struct slob_page. Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object. Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2 Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's patches: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2 This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of object abuse entirely.

2008-06-06md: do not compute parity unless it is on a failed driveDan Williams
If a block is computed (rather than read) then a check/repair operation may be lead to believe that the data on disk is correct, when infact it isn't. So only compute blocks for failed devices. This issue has been around since at least 2.6.12, but has become harder to hit in recent kernels since most reads bypass the cache. echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will set the parity blocks to the correct state.

2008-06-06md: fix prexor vs sync_request raceDan Williams
During the initial array synchronization process there is a window between when a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it completes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe. When this happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked "insync", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe. Prior to 2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under sh->lock. The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still erroneously mark the stripe "insync", but sync_request would be held off and re-mark the stripe as "!in_sync". Change the write completion logic to not mark the stripe "in_sync" if a prexor was performed. The effect of the change is to sometimes not set STRIPE_INSYNC. The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting for STRIPE_INSYNC to be set. If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING would be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all available blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never be used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set. echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will correct arrays that may have lost this race.

This addresses other oopsing paths in "spidev" by changing how it manages refcounting. It decouples the lifecycle of the per-device data from the class device (not just the spi device): - Use class_{create,destroy} not class_{register,unregister}. - Use device_{create,destroy} not device_{register,unregister}. - Free the per-device data only when TWO conditions are true: * Driver is unbound from underlying SPI device, and * Device is no longer open (new) Also, spi_{get,set}_drvdata not dev_{get,set}_drvdata for simpler code.

2008-06-06sound: emu10k1 - fix system hang with Audigy2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA cardJaroslav Franek
When the Linux kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ=y, the Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA card causes the system hang during boot (udev stage) or when the card is hot-plug. The CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ flag is by default 'y' with all Fedora kernels since 2.6.23. The problem was reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=326411 The issue was hunted down to the snd_emu10k1_create() routine: /* pseudo-code */ snd_emu10k1_create(...) { ... request_irq(... IRQF_SHARED ...) { register the irq handler #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ call the irq handler: snd_emu10k1_interrupt() { poll I/O port // <---- !! system hangs ... } #endif } ... snd_emu10k1_cardbus_init(...) { initialize I/O ports } ... } The early access to I/O port in the interrupt handler causes the freeze. Obviously it is necessary to init the I/O ports before accessing them. This patch moves the registration of the irq handler after the initialization of the I/O ports.
