16 years agoforcedeth: mac address fix
Ayaz Abdulla [Fri, 11 Apr 2008 04:30:35 +0000 (21:30 -0700)]
forcedeth: mac address fix

This critical patch fixes a mac address issue recently introduced.  If the
device's mac address was in correct order and the flag
NVREG_TRANSMITPOLL_MAC_ADDR_REV was set, during nv_remove the flag would get
cleared.  During next load, the mac address would get reversed because the
flag is missing.

As it has been indicated previously, the flag is cleared across a low power
transition.  Therefore, the driver should set the mac address back into the
reversed order when clearing the flag.

Also, the driver should set back the flag after a low power transition to
protect against kexec command calling nv_probe a second time.

16 years agopnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol
Bjorn Helgaas [Fri, 11 Apr 2008 04:29:28 +0000 (21:29 -0700)]
pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.

Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.

But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:

    pnp: PnP ACPI init

This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.  It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

eventfd/kaio integration fix

Jeff Roberson discovered a race when using kaio eventfd based notifications.
When it occurs it can lead tomissed wakeups and hung userspace.

This patch fixes the race by moving the notification inside the spinlocked
section of kaio.  The operation is safe since eventfd spinlock and kaio one
are unrelated.

asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call

stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler

16 years agopop previous section in alternative.c

pop previous section in alternative.c

gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.

This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.

Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel.  ;-)

I (wrongly) assumed that nfs_xdev_get_sb() would not ever share a superblock

there is little we can do to reconcile different mount options this patch

This patch restores the initialization, fixing openswan, but probably
breaking inter-family tunnels again (unknown since the patch author
