| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing the sysctl net.core.dev_weight has no effect because the weight of the backlog devices is set during initialization and never changed. This patch propagates any changes to the global value affected by sysctl to the per-cpu devices. It is done every time the packet handler function is run.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes some bugs in the ppc64 PER_LINUX32 implementation, noted by Juergen Kreileder: * uname(2) doesn't respect PER_LINUX32, it returns 'ppc64' instead of 'ppc' * Child processes of a PER_LINUX32 process don't inherit PER_LINUX32 Along the way I took the opportunity to move things around so that sys_ppc32.c only has 32-bit syscall emulation functions and to remove the obsolete "fakeppc" command line option.

* | | [PATCH] ia64: fix floating-point preemption problemPeter Chubb2005-06-093-3/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the high partition. The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to() preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to prevent preemption. Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that we need to check for pending signals when a newly forked process is run for the first time. With strace -f, strace needs to know about the forked process before it gets going. If it doesn't, then it ptraces some bogus values into its registers, and the process segfaults. So, I added calls to interrupt_end, which does that, plus checks for reschedules. There shouldn't be any of those, but x86 does the same thing, so I'm copying that behavior to be safe.

The IA64 module loader puts gp well past the end of the module, with no physical backing. Offsets on gp are still valid, but physical mode addressing breaks for modules.

When the client module is unloaded, it calls s3c2410_dma_free() which does not free the irq. Consequently, when e.g. running "cat /proc/interrupts", the irq owner points to freed memory, leading to a kernel oops.

Introduce the helper nfs_lookup_check_intent() which always returns zero if LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_PARENT are set, and returns the intent flags if we're on the last component of the lookup. By doing so, we fix a bug in open(O_EXCL), where we may end up optimizing away a real lookup of the parent directory.
