request
Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for
example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and
"123" back to back. The first requests will elicit error responses
from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP
expectations even though we might still see a positive response.
Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a
media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a
negative response for that sequence number.

The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes
the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to
256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so
the upper bits are lost when doing:
brctl showmacs
The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data
structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

Since recent smpboot 32/64-bit merge, my dual Xeon with HT has been
booting only 2 of its 4 cpus (when running an i386 kernel; but x86_64
is okay). J.A. Magallón reports the same.
native_cpu_up: bad cpu 2
native_cpu_up: bad cpu 3
The mach-default cpu_present_to_apicid() was just returning cpu number
(2, 3) instead of apicid (6, 7): looks like we now need the x86_64 code
even for the i386 case.
Comparing with other versions of cpu_present_to_apicid(), it seems a
good idea to include an NR_CPUS test too, since cpu_present() doesn't
include that; but that wasn't a problem here, and may no problem at all.
Prior to that smpboot merge, my Xeon booted the two HT siblings on one
physical first, then the two siblings on the other physical after - when
i386, but alternated them when x86_64. Since the merge, the x86_64
sequence is unchanged, but the i386 sequence is now like x86_64.
I prefer this consistency, and I prefer the new sequence: booting with
maxcpus=2 then uses the independent physicals without HT sharing.

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:
1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects
Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.
While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.
The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.
Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.
The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.
Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.
The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.
The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list
Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.
The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).
The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.
The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.
By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.
This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.
min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device. This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS. (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)
max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache. Eg. an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.
Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the minimum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.
In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.
With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH
[mszeredi@suse.cz]
- split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
- document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
- do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
won't be initialized
- remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much

These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it,
and it's always non-negative.
Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on
x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit.
E.g. on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to
optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level].

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.
Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the
caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid().
This can happen even if task == current.
Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way
the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new.
Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody
check the returned value.

There are some places that are known to operate on tasks'
global pids only:
* the rest_init() call (called on boot)
* the kgdb's getthread
* the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns)
So use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., &init_pid_ns) there
and schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.

Factor out the code used to allocate/free a pts index into new interfaces,
devpts_new_index() and devpts_kill_index(). This localizes the external data
structures used in managing the pts indices.
