serial8250_startup() doesn't disable interrupts while taking the &up->port.lock which might race against the interrupt handler serial8250_interrupt(), which when entered, will deadlock waiting for the lock to be released. Signed-off-by:

Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in the path where multiple probes are connected. Those are ordering reads of "ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi" array data access. It should be ordered like this : read ptype smp_rmb() read multi array pointer smp_read_barrier_depends() access data referenced by multi array pointer The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to allocate an array) has correct memory ordering. It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next. Signed-off-by:

It was pointed out that the RTC framework handles its mutex locks oddly ... returning -EBUSY when interrupted. This fixes that by returning the value of mutex_lock_interruptible() (i.e. -EINTR). Signed-off-by:

The mutex is released on a successful return, so it would seem that it should be released on an error return as well. The semantic patch finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression l; @@ mutex_lock(l); ... when != mutex_unlock(l) when any when strict ( if (...) { ... when != mutex_unlock(l) + mutex_unlock(l); return ...; } | mutex_unlock(l); ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

When multiple cpusets are overlapping in their 'cpus' and hence they form a single sched domain, the largest sched_relax_domain_level among those should be used. But when top_cpuset's sched_load_balance is set, its sched_relax_domain_level is used regardless other sub-cpusets'. This patch fixes it by walking the cpuset hierarchy to find the largest sched_relax_domain_level. Signed-off-by:

All child cpusets contain a subset of the parent's cpus, so we can skip them when partitioning sched domains. This decreases 'csa' greately for cpusets with multi-level hierarchy. Signed-off-by:

On HPPA there exists some older GSC graphics cards, which need special graphic-card-BIOS patching to become supported. Since we don't have yet implemented the patching, it's better to detect such cards in advance, inform to the user that there are known problems and to not activate the card. Problematic GSC cards and BIOS versions are: * Hyperdrive/Hyperbowl (A4071A) graphics card series: * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/8) * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/11) * Thunder 1 VISUALIZE 48 card: * ID = 0x2F23E5FC (Version 8.05/9) * Thunder 2 VISUALIZE 48 XP card: * ID = 0x2F8D570E (Version 8.05/12) * Some Hyperion and ThunderHawk GSC cards Further details are described here: http://parisc-linux.org/faq/graphics-howto.htmlSigned-off-by:

Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code, and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never matching 'end' exactly. This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie. actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention. Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things: it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly, so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with /dev/zero).

Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen. This gives slightly worse results, but doesn't need tweaking when GSO is introduced. 500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657 Dynamic (278) 20.1974 xmit 214510 recv 5 timeout 214491 usec 278 Signed-off-by: -

virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets. Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to fill the entire buffer): Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1 2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020 1000 usec 34.5379 xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003 750 usec 29.2305 xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002 500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657 250 usec 20.0465 xmit 214128 recv 2 timeout 214110 100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153 (Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a large grain of salt).

Mark McLoughlin authored
If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses. Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what will happen then! Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with e.g. --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D or: --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D which is pretty unintelligable, but ...
