solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching
from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using
iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP,
wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we
stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is
no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that.

Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during
its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown
case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).

[TCP]: Problem bug with sysctl_tcp_congestion_control function

From: "Sam Jansen" <sjansen@google.com>

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it
from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control
function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error
and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP
congestion control algorithm.  This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and
probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17.

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful
return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control
algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the
value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string
returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on
success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated.
Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy
converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error.

Before percpu conversion of ip_rt_acct, we should also remove the

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so

  ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.

So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel

x86: fix reboot with no keyboard attached

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378

Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached.  My first
patch works for him:

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538

But the latest patch does not work for him :

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51

We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
the command byte, as the first patch was doing.  The second patch tries to
minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.

Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached.  Hiroto Shibuya has
verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
machine).

Additional discussion:

Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538

Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.

  outb(0x14, 0x60);       /* set "System flag" */

In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change,  he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51

   outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */

So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)

When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure.  I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time.  The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it.  This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is

In cases where not all CPUs are brought up during

dirty page balancing: Get rid of broken unmapped_ratio logic

This code harks back to the days when we didn't count dirty mapped
pages, which led us to try to balance the number of dirty unmapped pages
by how much unmapped memory there was in the system.

That makes no sense any more, since now the dirty counts include the
mapped pages.  Not to mention that the math doesn't work with HIGHMEM
machines anyway, and causes the unmapped_ratio to potentially turn
negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,
but I mention that as an indication of how broken the code is).

The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was
much larger, and the unmapped_ratio logic effectively capped that large
dirty ratio a bit.  Again, we've since lowered the dirty ratio rather
aggressively, further lessening the point of that code.

Ralf Baechle [Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:37:15 +0000 (19:37 +0000)]
[MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.

This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system.  Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.

   CPU A CPU B

   do_IRQ()
   generic_handle_irq()
   handle_level_irq()
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   set IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)

In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.

With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.

For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it.  There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code.  I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.
