With the previous commit, we can handle arbitrary shared re-mappings even without this complexity, and since the only known private mappings are for strange users of /dev/mem (which never create an incomplete one), there seems to be no reason to support it.

A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has gone through COW or not. This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping" logic for the common case. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy resolution. This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching X.org.

On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error, copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.

Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info(). However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate instructions used with SLB fault code. Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment. Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type to know what property to look for, etc, etc. For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small dcbst/icbi increments.

Some debug code wasn't properly removed from the initial 64k pages patch, and while it's harmless, it's also slowing down significantly a very hot code path, thus it should really be removed.

The 64k pages patch changed the meaning of one argument passed to the low level hash functions (from "large" it became "psize" or page size index), but one of the call sites wasn't properly updated, causing potential random weird problems with huge pages.

This reverts commit da0825fd, making it so that if you select CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM you get support for PMAC, PREP and CHRP built in. The reason for not allowing PMAC, PREP and CHRP to be selected individually for ARCH=ppc is that there is too much interdependency between them in the platform support code. For example, CHRP uses the PMAC nvram code. Configuring with ARCH=powerpc does allow you to select support for PMAC and CHRP separately. Support for PREP is not there yet but should be there soon.

The previous commit will use the page-at-a-time hypervisor call for setting up IOMMU entries when we are using 64k pages and setting up one 64k page, even though that means 16 calls to the hypervisor, since the hypervisor still works on 4k pages. This optimizes this case by using the multi-page IOMMU setup hypervisor call instead. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Hey, for no other reason than the fact that I'll be off-line for a week. Of course, I could force everybody to just use git (and when I'm emperor of the world, don't think I won't!), but it seems some people want to just test official releases. Even if they are just -rc's. By the time I'm back, Andrew will have fixed all my bugs, and I'll release it as 2.6.15 and take all the credit. Mwahahahaaa Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We want to link the "regular" SCSI drivers before the USB storage driver, since historically we've always detected internal SCSI disks before the external USB storage modules. The link order matters for initcall ordering, and this got broken by mistake by commit 7586269c which moved the USB host controller PCI quirk handling around.

Steve Dickson writes: Doing the following: 1. On server: $ mkdir ~/t $ echo Hello > ~/t/tmp 2. On client, wait for a string to appear in this file: $ until grep -q foo t/tmp ; do echo -n . ; sleep 1 ; done 3. On server, create a *new* file with the same name containing that string: $ mv ~/t/tmp ~/t/tmp.old; echo foo > ~/t/tmp will show how the client will never (and I mean never ;-) ) see the updated file. The problem is that we do not update nfsi->cache_change_attribute when the file changes on the server (we only update it when our client makes the changes). This again means that functions like nfs_check_verifier() will fail to register when the parent directory has changed and should trigger a dentry lookup revalidation.

From: David Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> As explained at: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~krishna/igmp_dos/ With IGMP version 1 and 2 it is possible to inject a unicast report to a client which will make it ignore multicast reports sent later by the router. The fix is to only accept the report if is was sent to a multicast or unicast address. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit 64c7c8f8 broke the ACPI C2 and C3 sleep states, because it left TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG active even though those states do not actually poll the reschedule flag at all. As a result, the CPU wouldn't get sent an IPI when it was to be woken up, and would only notice that it had runnable processes on the next timer tick.

sg's st_map_user_pages is modelled on an earlier version of st's sgl_map_user_pages, and has the same bug: if get_user_pages got some but not all of the pages, then those got were released, but the positive res code returned implied that they were still to be freed.

2.6.15-rc1 made sg's st_unmap_user_pages and st's sgl_unmap_user_pages BUG on a PageReserved page. But that's wrong: they could be unmapping the ZERO_PAGE, which is marked PG_reserved; and perhaps others (while get_user_pages is still permitted on VM_PFNMAP areas - that may change). More change is needed here: sg claims to dirty even pages written from, and st claims not to dirty even pages read into; and SetPageDirty is not adequate for this nowadays. Fixes to those follow in a later patch: for the moment just fix the 2.6.15 regression.
