[PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem

Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.

In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op.  Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing.  In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out.  However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false.  This will abort all subsequent
migrations.

This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path.  We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages.  This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.

I think this is safe.  If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

Can be verified with memtoy and the shmem-mbind-test script, both
available at:  http://free.linux.hp.com/~lts/Tools/

[PATCH] isdn4linux: Siemens Gigaset base driver: fix disconnect handling

Fix a possible Oops in the Siemens Gigaset base driver when the device is
unplugged while an ISDN connection is still active, and makes sure that the
isdn4linux link level (LL) is properly informed if a connection is broken
by the USB cable being unplugged.

- Avoid unsafe checks of URB status fields outside the URB completion
  handlers, keep track of in-use URBs myself instead.

- If an isochronous transfer URB completes with status==0, also check the
  status of the frame descriptors.

- Verify length of interrupt messages received from the device.

- Align the length limit on transmitted AT commands with the device
  documentation.

- In case of AT response receive overrun, keep newly arrived instead of old
  unread data.

- Remove redundant check of device ID in the USB probe function.

- Correct and improve some comments and formatting.

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually

enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

[PATCH] softmac: fix event sending

Softmac is sending custom events to userspace already, but it
should _really_ be sending the right WEXT events instead. This
patch fixes that.

[PATCH] softmac: fix spinlock recursion on reassoc

This fixes a spinlock recursion on receiving a reassoc request.

On reassoc, the softmac calls back into the driver. This results in a
driver lock recursion. This schedules the assoc workqueue, instead
of calling it directly.

Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing
to a tasklet or workqueue, because it does several callbacks into the driver.
That is dangerous.

This fix should go into linus's tree, before 2.6.17 is released, because it
is remote exploitable (DoS by crash).

18 years ago[PATCH] Revert NET_RADIO Kconfig title change
Jean Tourrilhes [Tue, 4 Apr 2006 22:59:46 +0000 (15:59 -0700)]
[PATCH] Revert NET_RADIO Kconfig title change

2.6.17-rc1 changed the title for the entry CONFIG_NET_RADIO. I
personally disagree with this change and want it reverted. Patch for
2.6.17-rc1.
Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore,
the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need
to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned
in the title of the option.
Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless
Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for
the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change
help disambiguate the relation between those two options.
