[PATCH] RTC: class driver for Samsung S3C series SoC
This is a renamed and tested version of the previous S3C24XX RTC class

The driver has been renamed from the original s3c2410-rtc, which is now too

The rtc-s3c has been chosen as there is the distinct possibility of this

[PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byte
This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS
in such kind of scenario:
open(, O_TRUNC...)
ftruncate(, 1024)
ftruncate(, 0)
Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen
because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for
last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but
`ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this.
To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch
removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to
call ufs_truncate.
[PATCH] uml: rename and improve actually_do_remove()
Rename actually_do_remove() to remove_files_and_dir(), make it call
closedir(), make it ignore ENOENT (I see it frequently enough).
ENOENT is probably due to multiple threads calling the exitcall functions
together*, but fixing that is non-trivial; and ignoring it is perfectly ok
in any case.
* it can surely happen: last_ditch_exit() is installed as SIGTERM handler
at boot, and it's not removed on thread creation. So killall vmlinux
(which I do) surely causes that. I've seen also a crash which seems to
do the same.
Installing the handler on only the main thread would make UML do no cleanup
when another thread exits, and we're not sure we want that. And mutual
exclusion in that context is tricky - we can't use spinlock in code not on
a kernel stack (spinlock debugging uses "current" a lot).

[PATCH] uml: fix not_dead_yet when directory is in bad state
The bug occurred to me when a UML left an empty ~/.uml/Sarge-norm folder -
when trying to reuse not_dead_yet() failed one of its check. The comment
says that's ok and means that we can take the directory, but while normally
not_dead_yet() removes it and returns 0 (i.e. go on, use this), on failure
it returns 0 but forgets to remove it. The fix is to remove it anytime
we're going to return 0.
But since "not_dead_yet" didn't make the interface so clear, causing this
bug, and I couldn't find a convenient name for the mix of things it did, I
split it into two parts:
is_umdir_used() - returns a boolean, contains all checks of not_dead_yet()
umdir_take_if_dead - tries to remove the dir unless it's used - returns
whether it removed it, that is we now own it.
With this changes the control flow is IMHO a bit clearer and needs less
comment for control flow.

Make __copy_*_user_inatomic really atomic to avoid "Sleeping function called in
atomic context" warnings, especially from futex code.
This is made by adding another kmap_atomic slot and making copy_*_user_skas
use kmap_atomic; also copy_*_user() becomes atomic, but that's true and is not
a problem for i386 (and we can always add might_sleep there as done
elsewhere). For TT mode kmap is not used, so there's no need for this.
I've had to use another slot since both KM_USER0 and KM_USER1 are used
elsewhere and could cause conflicts. Till now we reused the kmap_atomic slot
list from the subarch, but that's not needed as that list must contain the
common ones (used by generic code) + the ones used in architecture specific
code (and Uml till now used none); so I've taken the i386 one after comparing
it with ones from other archs, and added KM_UML_USERCOPY.

Do an extra check to see if in-memory tail changed while processing packets,
and if so, going back through the loop again (but only once per call to
ipath_kreceive()). In practice, this seems to be enough to guarantee that if
we crossed the clearing of an interrupt at start of ipath_intr with a
scheduled tail register update, that we'll process the "extra" packet that
lost the interrupt because we cleared it just as it was about to arrive.

The problem was that I was updating the head register multiple times in the
rcvhdrq processing loop, and setting the counter on each update. Since that
meant that the tail register was ahead of head for all but the last update, we
would get extra interrupts. The fix was to not write the counter value except
on the last update.
I also changed to update rcvhdrhead and rcvegrindexhead at most every 16
packets, if there were lots of packets in the queue (and of course, on the
last packet, regardless).
I also made some small cleanups while debugging this.
With these changes, xeon/monty typically sees two openib packets per interrupt
on sdp and ipoib, opteron/monty is about 1.25 pkts/intr.
I'm seeing about 3800 Mbit/s monty/xeon, and 5000-5100 opteron/monty with
netperf sdp. Netpipe doesn't show as good as that, peaking at about 4400 on
opteron/monty sdp. Plain ipoib xeon is about 2100+ netperf, opteron 2900+, at
128KB

[PATCH] IB/ipath: reduce overhead on receive interrupts
Also count the number of interrupts where that works (fastrcvint). On any
interrupt where the port0 head and tail registers are not equal, just call the
ipath_kreceive code without reading the interrupt status, thus saving the
approximately 0.25usec processor stall waiting for the read to return. If any
other interrupt bits are set, or head==tail, take the normal path, but that
has been reordered to handle read ahead of pioavail. Also no longer call
ipath_kreceive() from ipath_qcheck(), because that just seems to make things
worse, and isn't really buying us anything, these days.
Also no longer loop in ipath_kreceive(); better to not hold things off too
long (I saw many cases where we would loop 4-8 times, and handle thousands (up
to 3500) in a single call).

Some cleanups to make unexpected link transitions less likely to produce

Note that the user must ensure that filterkeys are unique. The kernel only

[IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is:
This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.
This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.
In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
get TSO packets created by TCP layer.
SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.

[NETFILTER]: SCTP conntrack: fix crash triggered by packet without chunks
When a packet without any chunks is received, the newconntrack variable
in sctp_packet contains an out of bounds value that is used to look up an
pointer from the array of timeouts, which is then dereferenced, resulting
in a crash. Make sure at least a single chunk is present.

[TG3]: Add TSO workaround using GSO
Use GSO to workaround a rare TSO bug on some chips. This hardware
bug may be triggered when the TSO header size is greater than 80
bytes. When this condition is detected in a TSO packet, the driver
will use GSO to segment the packet to workaround the hardware bug.
Thanks to Juergen Kreileder <jk@blackdown.de> for reporting the
problem and collecting traces to help debug the problem.
And thanks to Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> for providing
the GSO mechanism that happens to be the perfect workaround for this
problem.

[TG3]: Add rx BD workaround
Add workaround to limit the burst size of rx BDs being DMA'ed to the
chip. This works around hardware errata on a number of 5750, 5752,
and 5755 chips.

[TCP]: Reset gso_segs if packet is dodgy
I wasn't paranoid enough in verifying GSO information. A bogus gso_segs
could upset drivers as much as a bogus header would. Let's reset it in
the per-protocol gso_segment functions.
I didn't verify gso_size because that can be verified by the source of
the dodgy packets.

IB/uverbs: Set correct user handle for user SRQs
Store away the user handle passed in from userspace when creating an
SRQ, so that the kernel can return the correct handle when an SRQ
asynchronous event occurs. (A 0 was incorrectly stored as the user
handle as part of the changes in 9ead190b, "IB/uverbs: Don't serialize
with ib_uverbs_idr_mutex")
