I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler. There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs. Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context, the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed. The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts, execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest of the CPUs.

Older Macs which uses the VIA chip timers to calibrate the timebase used some code that wouldn't work if HZ wasn't divisible by 100... This fixes it at least for 250. Not totally perfect but should be enough for now (so it at least works with the default value which is now 250). There is still a potential issue with the core using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to maintain xtime and CLOCK_TICK_RATE value on ppc32 is pure crap, but that is a different problem, this patch at least brings us back to our previous situation.

If we switch extern inline to static inline, we'd better switch the pre-declarations we use to say that these puppies have __attribute_const__ on them.

The orinoco driver can send uninitialized data exposing random pieces of the system memory. This happens because data is not padded with zeroes when its length needs to be increased.

Drop global bit from early low mappings Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh. This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally tracked down by Suresh B. Siddha. The problem was that switching to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption. Drop the global bits. The kernel mapping stays global because it should stay constant. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Patch from Sascha Hauer Current implementation of imx_gpio_mode does not allow to configure all alternate routing possibilities of the i.MX. With this patch every bit in the gpio setup registers has a corresponding bit in the gpio_mode parameter, so every routing should be possible now.

bfs_fill_super() walks the inode table to get the bitmap of free inodes and collect stats. It has no business using iget() for that - it's a lot of extra work, extra icache pollution and more complex code. Switched to walking the damn thing directly. Note: that also allows to kill ->i_dsk_ino in there - separate patch if Tigran can confirm that this field can be zero only for deleted inodes (i.e. something that could only be found during that scan and not by normal lookups).

The patch below introduces special thresholds to keep root node in the trie large. This gives a flatter tree at the cost of a modest memory increase. Overall it seems to be gain and this was also proposed by one the authors of the paper in recent a seminar. Main table after loading 123 k routes. Aver depth: 3.30 Max depth: 9 Root-node size 12 bits Total size: 4044 kB With the patch: Aver depth: 2.78 Max depth: 8 Root-node size 15 bits Total size: 4150 kB An increase of 8-10% was seen in forwading performance for an rDoS attack.

Unfortunately, [your patch] might address the crash but doesn't address the real problem. It turns out that the problem is one of padding (the firmware cksum engine works only on 32-bit chunks, yuck), so the special casing for length == 1 wasn't sufficient anyway. This patch addresses the issue, as well the other issue of i386 + CONFIG_HIGHMEM being broken. It is pretty much the same workaround that Adaptec themselves used in their Windows driver. I have yet to check if it fixes the problem when the skb is non-linear, but this patch _will_ solve the problem for 99% of the users out there (those not using sendfile).
