2005-05-05[PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600Christoph Hellwig
This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960 V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support for all others. This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960 driver. Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and testing this patch. No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver. Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver. Cc: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-03[RTNETLINK] Fix RTM_MAX to represent the maximum valid message typeThomas Graf
RTM_MAX is currently set to the maximum reserverd message type plus one thus being the cause of two bugs for new types being assigned a) given the new family registers only the NEW command in its reserved block the array size for per family entries is calculated one entry short and b) given the new family registers all commands RTM_MAX would point to the first entry of the block following this one and the rtnetlink receive path would accept a message type for a nonexisting family.

2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key unionAl Viro
Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as - layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object) - behaviour of these helpers is same as before. Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them with a single __le64. Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or. Benefits: - exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs in sight. - generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian. - doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator. - happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: comp_short_keys() cleanupAl Viro
comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or from something else. At that point we are free to change layout of in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore. So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64 k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those. That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

2005-05-01[PATCH] new valid_signal() functionJesper Juhl
This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is a valid signal number. The reasons for adding this new function are: - some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors. Using this function instead avoids such errors. - some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W. Using this function instead avoids such warnings. I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on include/linux/signal.h as the most logical place for it. If there's some reason this is a bad choice then please let me know (hints as to a better location are then welcome of course).

2005-05-01[PATCH] Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacementPaul E. McKenney
The synchronize_kernel() primitive is used for quite a few different purposes: waiting for RCU readers, waiting for NMIs, waiting for interrupts, and so on. This makes RCU code harder to read, since synchronize_kernel() might or might not have matching rcu_read_lock()s. This patch creates a new synchronize_rcu() that is to be used for RCU readers and a new synchronize_sched() that is used for the rest. These two new primitives currently have the same implementation, but this is might well change with additional real-time support. Both new primitives are GPL-only, the old primitive is deprecated.

2005-05-01[PATCH] move SA_xxx defines to linux/signal.hStas Sergeev
The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE, SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are still left per-arch. Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this patch does: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1 no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission.

2005-05-01[PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128Venkatesh Pallipadi
The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32. With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128. The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820). As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect on bootloader-setup code interface. Patch covers both i386 and x86-64. Tested on: * grub booting bzImage * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled * pxeboot of bzImage Side-effect: bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

2005-05-01[PATCH] add kmalloc_node, inline cleanupManfred Spraul
The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab allocator: kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node); kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node); in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions: kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags); kmalloc(size, flags); kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor rearrangements). The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages, cache_grow) are already node aware. Also __alloc_percpu can call kmalloc_node now.

2005-05-01[PATCH] count bounce buffer pages in vmstatKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers. It's shown in /proc/vmstat. Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere. So, if there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages. And it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages. So, it's meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

2005-05-01[PATCH] mempool: NOMEMALLOC and NORETRYNick Piggin
Mempools have 2 problems. The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool. The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves instead of going to their reserved pools. Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in mempool_alloc. Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

2005-05-01[PATCH] RLIMIT_AS checking fixakpm@osdl.org
Address bug #4508: there's potential for wraparound in the various places where we perform RLIMIT_AS checking. (I'm a bit worried about acct_stack_growth(). Are we sure that vma->vm_mm is always equal to current->mm? If not, then we're comparing some other process's total_vm with the calling process's rlimits).

2005-04-29[AUDIT] LOGIN message credentialsSteve Grubb
Attached is a new patch that solves the issue of getting valid credentials into the LOGIN message. The current code was assuming that the audit context had already been copied. This is not always the case for LOGIN messages. To solve the problem, the patch passes the task struct to the function that emits the message where it can get valid credentials.

2005-04-29[AUDIT] Fix signedness of 'serial' in various routines.Steve Grubb
Attached is a patch that corrects a signed/unsigned warning. I also noticed that we needlessly init serial to 0. That only needs to occur if the kernel was compiled without the audit system. -Steve Grubb Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
