The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it

[PATCH] x86_64: When allocation of merged SG lists fails in the IOMMU don't merge
[ AK: I redid Kevin's fix to be simpler, but the idea and original
analysis of the problem is from Kevin]
This avoid allocation failures on some SATA systems like Nvidia CK8
when the IOMMU gets fragmented. Modern SATA devices have quite large queues
(128 entries) and the FS with ext2/3 is good enough now that it often
passes whole 128 page sg lists down to the driver. These require
512K of continuous free space in the IOMMU aperture to map when merged.
When the IOMMU is fragmented this could lead to spurious IO errors
due to failing mappings.
Short term fix is to just try to map the SG list again unmerged
page by page - this way fragmentation doesn't matter anymore.
The code for that was already there, but it just wasn't enabled for the
merge case.
According to Kevin at least the Nvidia device doesn't seem to benefit
from merging much anyways, so the only slowdown is from trying
to do an unnecessary merge attempt.
Kevin plans to implement better fragmentation avoidance in the future,
but that wouldn't be 2.6.16 material.
TBD: should add some statistic counters to count how often that really
happens.

To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes.
If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to
implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
The 4 defines are:
#define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
#define topology_core_id(cpu)
#define topology_thread_siblings(cpu)
#define topology_core_siblings(cpu)
The type of **_id is int.
The type of siblings is cpumask_t.
To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have
deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule.
1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the
default value.
2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0.
3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
HT/multi-thread.
4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support

[PATCH] fcntl F_SETFL and read-only IS_APPEND files
There is code in setfl() which attempts to preserve the O_APPEND flag on
IS_APPEND files... however IS_APPEND files could also be opened O_RDONLY
and in that case setfl() should not require O_APPEND...
coreutils 5.93 tail -f attempts to set O_NONBLOCK even on regular files...
unfortunately if you try this on an append-only log file the result is
this:
I offer up the patch below as one way of fixing the problem... i've tested
it fixes the problem with tail -f but haven't really tested beyond that.
(I also reported the coreutils bug upstream... it shouldn't fail imho...
