[PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparison
This fixes a hang on ppc32.
The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit
quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing. This makes us use a
64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code
since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually
fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through
the code).
This works fine on my G4 tibook. Let me know how it goes on your

The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it

time not advancing.
This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms. With

so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead.

tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used
when calculating the time of day.

Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to

It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage
mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add
considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step
the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by

[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make
this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

[PATCH] md: avoid backward event updates in md superblock when degraded.
If we
- shut down a clean array,
- restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
- make some changes
- pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.
To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

1) When we allocated last fragment in ufs_truncate, we read page, check
if block mapped to address, and if not trying to allocate it. This is
wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this
happened because of "block map" function not checked allocated fragment
or not, it just take address of the first fragment in the block, add
offset of fragment and return result, this is correct behaviour in
almost all situation except call from ufs_truncate.
2) Almost all implementation of UFS, which I can investigate have such
"defect": if you have full disk, and try truncate file, for example 3GB
to 2MB, and have hole in this region, truncate return -ENOSPC. I tried
evade from this problem, but "block allocation" algorithm is tied to
right value of i_lastfrag, and fix of this corner case may slow down of
ordinaries scenarios, so this patch makes behavior of "truncate"
operations similar to what other UFS implementations do.
On UFS, this scenario:
open(O_TRUNC)
lseek(1024 * 1024 * 80)
write("A")
lseek(1024 * 2)
write("A")
may cause access to invalid address.
This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way in block
allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4.
We use construction like this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to
direct blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements, and
lastfrag may have value for example 40000.
Also this patch fixes related to handling such scenario issues, wrong
zeroing metadata, in case of block(not fragment) allocation, and wrong goal
calculation, when we allocate block

[PATCH] ext3 filesystem bogus ENOSPC with reservation fix
To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block
reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to
allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no
block reservation.
Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for
the initial goal block group in this case. The patch fixes this.

I can't understand this. First, p->state can't be EXIT_ZOMBIE. The
->exit_state check looks strange too. Sub-threads or tasks whose ->parent
ignores SIGCHLD go directly to EXIT_DEAD state (I am ignoring a ptrace
case). Why EXIT_DEAD tasks should be ok? Yes, EXIT_ZOMBIE is more
important (a task may stay zombie for a long time), but this doesn't mean
we should explicitely ignore other EXIT_XXX states.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested)
patch:
Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC
text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.
After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this
lock fixed the problem.
Alan sayeth:
Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but
not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an
attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
neatness.
