This patch fixes a false-positive from debug_smp_processor_id(). The processor ID is only used to look up crypto_tfm objects. Any processor ID is acceptable here as long as it is one that is iterated on by for_each_cpu(). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Change operations on rif_lock from spin_{un}lock_bh to spin_{un}lock_irq{save,restore} equivalents. Some of the rif_lock critical sections are called from interrupt context via tr_type_trans->tr_add_rif_info. The TR NIC drivers call tr_type_trans from their packet receive handlers.

The DM9000 driver is responding to ioctl() calls it should not be. This can cause problems with the wireless tools incorrectly indentifying the device as wireless capable, and crashing under certain operations. This patch also moves the version printk() to the init call, so that you only get it once for multiple devices, and to show it is loaded if there are no defined dm9000s Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

Fix DM9000 driver usage of spinlocks, which mainly came to light when running a kernel with spinlock debugging. These come down to: 1) Un-initialised spin lock 2) Several cases of using spin_xxx(lock) and not spin_xxx(&lock) 3) move the locking around the phy reg for read/write to only keep the lock when actually reading or writing to the phy.

... otherwise we might try to load a bitmap from an array which hasn't one. The bug is that if you create an array with an internal bitmap, shut it down, and then create an array with the same md device, the md drive will assume it should have a bitmap too. As the array can be created with a different md device, it is mostly an inconvenience. I'm pretty sure there is no risk of data corruption.

Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the "cache_validity" field. Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the "cache_validity" field without proper serialization. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients. Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on large SMP clients.

Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's "flags" field. Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from nfs_inode at the same time. The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR. This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost of using this type of serialization. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations. This patch splits the flags field into two. The next patch introduces atomic bitops for one of the fields. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

Fix for manual binding of drivers to devices. Problem is if you pass in a valid device id, but the driver refuses to bind. Infinite loop as write() tries to resubmit the data it just sent.

This fixes a bug in the PPC64 iommu vmerge code which results in the potential for iommu_unmap_sg to go off unmapping more than it should. This was found on a test system which resulted in PCI bus errors due to PCI memory being unmapped while DMAs were still in progress.

It turns out that empty distance code tables are not an error, and that a compressed block with only literals can validly have an empty table and should not be flagged as a data error. Some old versions of gzip had problems with this case, but it does not affect the zlib code in the kernel.

The nfsd holds the big kernel lock upon exit, when it really shouldn't. Not to mention that this breaks Ingo's RT patch. This is a trivial fix to release the lock. Ingo, this patch also works with your kernel, and stops the problem with nfsd. Note, there's a "goto out;" where "out:" is right above svc_exit_thread. The point of the goto also holds the kernel_lock, so I don't see any problem here in releasing it.

This bug is quite subtle and only happens in a very interesting situation where a real-time threaded process is in the middle of a coredump when someone whacks it with a SIGKILL. However, this deadlock leaves the system pretty hosed and you have to reboot to recover. Not good for real-time priority-preemption applications like our telephony application, with 90+ real-time (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) processes, many of them multi-threaded, interacting with each other for high volume call processing.

1) We send out a normal sized packet with TSO on to start off. 2) ICMP is received indicating a smaller MTU. 3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented since it was created before the ICMP event. The first fragment is then sent out. At this point the remaining fragment is allocated by tcp_fragment. However, its size is padded to fit the L1 cache-line size therefore creating tail-room up to 124 bytes long. This fragment will also be sitting at sk_send_head. 4) tcp_sendmsg is called again and it stores data in the tail-room of of the fragment. 5) tcp_push_one is called by tcp_sendmsg which then calls tso_fragment since the packet as a whole exceeds the MTU. At this point we have a packet that has data in the head area being fed to tso_fragment which bombs out. My take on this is that we shouldn't ever call tcp_fragment on a TSO socket for a packet that is yet to be transmitted since this creates a packet on sk_send_head that cannot be extended. So here is a patch to change it so that tso_fragment is always used in this case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
