| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While reviewing this code again I found a potential overflow of the bitmap.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to an over aggressive optimizer gcc 4.2 cannot optimize away _proxy_pda in all cases (counter intuitive, but true). This breaks loading of some modules. The earlier workaround to just export a dummy symbol didn't work unfortunately because the module code ignores exports with 0 value. Make it 1 instead.

But I'm getting rid of uses of the OPEN_MAX and CHILD_MAX compile-time constant, and these are almost the only ones. OPEN_MAX is a bogus constant with no meaning about anything. The RLIMIT_NOFILE resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) actually wants to return. The CHILD_MAX cases weren't actually using anything I want to get rid of, but I noticed that they are there and are wrong too. The CHILD_MAX value is not really unlimited as a -1 return from sysconf indicates. The RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) wants to return.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several IOMMU allocator bugs. Instead of trying to fix this overly complicated code, just mirror the PCI IOMMU arena allocator which is very stable and well stress tested. I tried to make the code as identical as possible so we can switch sun4u PCI and SBUS over to a common piece of IOMMU code. All that will be need are two callbacks, one to do a full IOMMU flush and one to do a streaming buffer flush. This patch gets rid of a lot of hangs and mysterious crashes on SBUS sparc64 systems, at least for me. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21Zachary Amsden2007-04-092-1/+24
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix. This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed differently.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later.

* | [PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problemRafael J. Wysocki2007-04-021-4/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* | [PATCH] uml: fix unreasonably long udelayPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2007-04-022-22/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have a confused udelay implementation. * __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64 * our implementation requires usecs as arg * it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper. To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed - that's why UML seems to work most times. Fix this with a simple udelay implementation.
