2006-08-08[IA64-SGI] Silent data corruption caused by XPC V2.Dean Nelson
Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are done to the start virtual address translated to physical. This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch this if a similar situation is encountered.

2006-08-06[PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpointRafael J. Wysocki
It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process. If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process. Ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6787 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-08-04[PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue averageIlpo Järvinen
Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result in zero shift).

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore a device that it would otherwise claim. We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter (by ejecting the virtual disc). The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that usb-storage does not claim the device.

2006-08-02[AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patchCatherine Zhang
From: Catherine Zhang <cxzhang@watson.ibm.com> This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the original unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the security context when the receiver requests it. This new design requires modification of the current unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely, secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing the security context because it is up to the security module to decide how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree operation. Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The usage models are vastly set of functions that is only softirq safe; while the driver usage tends to be more limited to a few hardirq safe accessor functions. Rather than annotating all 133+ driver usages, for now just split this lock into a per queue class. This change is obviously safe and probably should make 2.6.18.

The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup. This patch adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class. Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to take the socket dst lock and those that don't.

The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also, effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code. To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing without requiring special measures. Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

2006-07-31[PATCH] make taskstats sending completely independent of delay accounting ↵Shailabh Nagar
on/off status Complete the separation of delay accounting and taskstats by ignoring the return value of delay accounting functions that fill in parts of taskstats before it is sent out (either in response to a command or as part of a task exit). Also make delayacct_add_tsk return silently when delay accounting is turned off rather than treat it as an error.

2006-07-31[PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting tooDavid Brownell
IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at least one driver needs it active. Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq_wake(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it. But right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations. This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what the irq wake mechanism does. Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

2006-07-31[PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestampChandra Seetharaman
Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field (struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes. This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system. Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov. This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which stores the number of nanoseconds. Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit application and on a i386 system.
