[PATCH] Fix race condition in hvc console.
tty_schedule_flip() would schedule a thread that would call flush_to_ldisc().
If tty_buffer_request_room() gets called prior to that thread running --
which is likely in this loop in hvc_poll(), it would set the active flag
in the tty buffer and consequently flush_to_ldisc() would ignore it.
The result is that input on the hvc console is not processed.
This fix calls tty_flip_buffer_push (and flags the tty as
"low_latency"). The push to the ldisc thus happens synchronously.

sbp2: variable status FIFO address (fix login timeout)
Let the ieee1394 core select a suitable 1394 address range for sbp2's
status FIFO instead of using a fixed range. Since the core only selects
addresses which are guaranteed to be out of the "physical range" as per
OHCI 1.1, this patch also fixes an old bug:
OHCI controllers which implement a writeable PhysicalUpperBound register
included sbp2's status FIFO in the physical range. That way sbp2 was
never notified of a succesful login and always failed after timeout.
Affected OHCI host adapters include ALi and Fujitsu controllers.
As another side effect of this patch, the status FIFO is no longer
located in a range for which OHCI chips perform "posted writes". Each
status write now requires a response subaction. But since large data
transfers involve only few status writes, there is no measurable
decrease of I/O throughput. What's more, the status FIFO is now safe
from potential host bus errors. Nevertheless, posted writes could be
re-enabled by extensions to the ARM features of the 1394 stack.

I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary. So, the
"unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
instruction execution without any interruptions.
In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
get_user().
And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
operations in a spin-locked critical section.
Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.
Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.
When using the dasd diag discipline, the base discipline module (eckd or fba)
can be unloaded, even though the dasd driver requires both discipline modules
(base and diag) to work correctly.

[PATCH] i386: need to pass virtual address to smp_read_mpc()
I'm seeing a kernel panic on an ES7000-600 when booting in virtual wire
mode. The panic happens because smp_read_mpc() is passed a physical
address, and it should be virtual. I tested the attached patch on the
ES7000-600 and on a 2 cpu Dell box, and saw no problems on either.

[PATCH] Terminate process that fails on a constrained allocation
Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory
policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find
enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low.
In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes
is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the
whole system coming down).
It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the
constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has
placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the
sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is
similar to what we do when running out of hugepages.
This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point
performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist
and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all
online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the
current process.

[PATCH] OOM kill: children accounting
In the badness() calculation, there's currently this piece of code:
/*
* Processes which fork a lot of child processes are likely
* a good choice. We add the vmsize of the children if they
* have an own mm. This prevents forking servers to flood the
* machine with an endless amount of children
*/
list_for_each(tsk, &p->children) {
struct task_struct *chld;
chld = list_entry(tsk, struct task_struct, sibling);
if (chld->mm = p->mm && chld->mm)
points += chld->mm->total_vm;
}
The intention is clear: If some server (apache) keeps spawning new children
and we run OOM, we want to kill the father rather than picking a child.
This -- to some degree -- also helps a bit with getting fork bombs under
control, though I'd consider this a desirable side-effect rather than a
feature.
There's one problem with this: No matter how many or few children there are,
if just one of them misbehaves, and all others (including the father) do
everything right, we still always kill the whole family. This hits in real
life; whether it's javascript in konqueror resulting in kdeinit (and thus the
whole KDE session) being hit or just a classical server that spawns children.
Sidenote: The killer does kill all direct children as well, not only the
selected father, see oom_kill_process().
The idea in attached patch is that we do want to account the memory
consumption of the (direct) children to the father -- however not fully.
This maintains the property that fathers with too many children will still
very likely be picked, whereas a single misbehaving child has the chance to
be picked by the OOM killer.
In the patch I account only half (rounded up) of the children's vm_size to
the parent. This means that if one child eats more mem than the rest of
the family, it will be picked, otherwise it's still the father and thus the
whole family that gets selected.
This is heuristics -- we could debate whether accounting for a fourth would
be better than for half of it. Or -- if people would consider it worth the
trouble -- make it a sysctl. For now I sticked to accounting for half,
which should IMHO be a significant improvement.
The patch does one more thing: As users tend to be irritated by the choice
of killed processes (mainly because the children are killed first, despite
some of them having a very low OOM score), I added some more output: The
selected (father) process will be reported first and it's oom_score printed
to syslog.
Description:
Only account for half of children's vm size in oom score calculation
This should still give the parent enough point in case of fork bombs. If
any child however has more than 50% of the vm size of all children
together, it'll get a higher score and be elected.
This patch also makes the kernel display the oom_score.

[NETFILTER]: Fix outgoing redirects to loopback
When redirecting an outgoing packet to loopback, it keeps the original
conntrack reference and information from the outgoing path, which
falsely triggers the check for DNAT on input and the dst_entry is
released to trigger rerouting. ip_route_input refuses to route the
packet because it has a local source address and it is dropped.
Look at the packet itself to dermine if it was NATed. Also fix a
missing inversion that causes unneccesary xfrm lookups.

[IRDA]: irda-usb bug fixes
This patch fixes 2 bugs in the USB-IrDA code.
The first one is a buffer overrun in the RX path. We are now using
IRDA_SKB_MAX_MTU when initializing the Rx URB.
The second one is a potential stack recursion when unplugging the USB
dongle. It seems that first we get the Rx URB with a generic error
code, and after a while the Rx URB comes again with a "disconnect"
error code. Since we are resubmitting the Rx URB immediately after
receiving the first error one, we might enter an endless loop.
When getting an error Rx URB, the patch defers the Rx URB resubmitting
so that it gives us a chance to catch the disconnect one, in case the
dongle has juts been unplugged.
Tested against 2.6.16-rc2.
