elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if it's too long. Also, if the written length is zero (probably not possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1]. This patch fixes both bugs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

cfq forced dispatching might not return all requests on the queue. This bug can hang elevator switchinig and corrupt request ordering during flush sequence. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

In addition to the first patch, which is probably goodness, I found the cause of my panic - applying this patch fixes it and now I am booting. If the chosen_elevator[] is not found, fall back to noop. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060 .. EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed) .. elevator_init+0x38 blk_init_queu_node+0xc9 floppy_init+0xdb do_initcalls+0x23 init+0x10a init+0x0 Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.

Also introduces a sysctl option to configure the receive buffer accounting policy to be either at socket or association level. Default is all the associations on the same socket share the receive buffer.

On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.

The socket level timeout values are maintained in sctp_sock and association level timeouts are in sctp_association. So there is no need for ep->timeouts.

It is possible to get to sctp_v4_get_saddr() without a valid association. This happens when processing OOTB packets and the cached route entry is no longer valid. However, when responding to OOTB packets we already properly set the source address based on the information in the OOTB packet. So, if we we get to sctp_v4_get_saddr() without an association we can simply return.

Based mostly upon a patch from Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de> When initialization fails in inet6_init(), we should unregister the PF_INET6 socket ops. Also, check sock_register()'s return value for errors. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

After the last merge of the new unified 'powerpc' architecture, ppc64 no longer compiles cleanly as a standalone architecture. Some bits and pieces still exist as files under the old ppc64 hierarchy, but the old "ARCH=ppc64" is dead. So if "uname" says ppc64, that now implies that the default architecture should be "powerpc".

Patch from Nicolas Pitre For assembly labels to actually be local they must start with ".L" and not only "." otherwise they still remain visible in the final link and clutter kallsyms needlessly, and possibly make for unclear symbolic backtrace. This patch simply inserts a"L" where appropriate. The code itself is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Noticed by Tom 'spot' Callaway. Even on uniprocessor we always reported the number of physical cpus in the system via /proc/cpuinfo. But when this got changed to use num_possible_cpus() it always reads as "1" on uniprocessor. This change was unintentional. So scan the firmware device tree and count the number of cpu nodes, and report that, as we always did. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently recvmsg generates SIGPIPE whereas sendmsg does not; for the other stacks it seems to be the other way round!

Fix default VGA console on SN platforms. Since SN firmware does not pass enough ACPI information to identify VGA cards and the associated legacy IO/MEM addresses, we rely on the EFI PCDP table. Since the linux pcdp driver is optional (and overridden if console= directives are used) SN duplicates a portion of the pcdp scan code to identify if there is a usable console VGA adapter. Additionally, dup necessary pcdp related structs to avoid dragging drivers/pcdp.h into a more public location. Signed-off-by: Mark Maule <maule@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64. I have run some benchmarks and found nothing interesting. Performance has consistently fallen within the noise range. It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3 levels). The config option prevents having 4 level page tables with 64k base page size.
