shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
already overtemp by the time the driver loads).

This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

[PATCH] Fix false old value return of sysctl

For the sysctl syscall, if the user wants to get the old value of a
sysctl entry and set a new value for it in the same syscall, the old
value is always overwritten by the new value if the sysctl entry is of
string type and if the user sets its strategy to sysctl_string.  This
issue lies in the strategy being run twice if the strategy is set to
sysctl_string, the general strategy sysctl_string always returns 0 if
success.

Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1
because they do read and write for the sysctl entry.

The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read
and write the sysctl entry.

According to my analysis, if a strategy routine do read and write, it
should return 1, if it just does some necessary check but not read and
write, it should return 0, for example sysctl_intvec.

Don't use printk() where "current_thread_info()" is crap.

Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates
to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, &current is evaluated with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task).

Exactly, what happens is that &current = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round
down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which

As reported by Jules Villard <jvillard@ens-lyon.fr> and some others, the
recent GART aperture start reconfiguration causes problems on some

2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]

NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
  source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
  path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
  as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full,
  relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
  machine.

4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
        The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
        list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
        short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
        with an empty list if needed.

5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs

Andy,

libphy has no license tag. Something like the attached (untested!) patch
is needed. Hopefully such a change finds its way into 2.6.15.

[MMC] Set correct capacity for 1024-byte block cards

We were passing set_capacity() the capacity we calculated in terms of
the number of blocks on the card, which happened to be the right units
for 512-byte block cards.  However, with 1024-byte block cards, we
end up setting the capacity to half the number of blocks.  Fix this
by shifting by the appropriate amount.

Thanks to Todd Blumer for pointing this out.

Use get_capacity() to report the card capacity, rather than
recalculating it from the CSD information.

Finally, use our chosen IO block size for the SET_BLOCKLEN command
rather than the CSD read block size.  Currently these are equivalent,
but will not be in the future.

Nicolas Pitre [Wed, 21 Dec 2005 17:26:25 +0000 (12:26 -0500)]
[PATCH] fix race with preempt_enable()

Currently a simple

void foo(void) { preempt_enable(); }

produces the following code on ARM:

foo:
bic r3, sp, #8128
bic r3, r3, #63
ldr r2, [r3, #4]
ldr r1, [r3, #0]
sub r2, r2, #1
tst r1, #4
str r2, [r3, #4]
blne preempt_schedule
mov pc, lr

The problem is that the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is loaded _before_ the
preemption count is stored back, hence any interrupt coming within that
3 instruction window causing TIF_NEED_RESCHED to be set won't be
seen and scheduling won't happen as it should.

Nothing currently prevents gcc from performing that reordering.  There
is already a barrier() before the decrement of the preemption count, but
another one is needed between this and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag test
for proper code ordering.
