2007-11-01Fix region size check in mpc5200 FEC driverGrant Likely1-2/+2

2007-11-01mpc5200: Fix Kconfig dependancies on MPC5200 FEC device driverGrant Likely1-3/+1
When not building an arch/powerpc kernel, the mpc5200 FEC driver depends on some symbols which are not defined (BESTCOMM & BESTCOMM_FEC). This patch flips around the dependancy logic so that it cannot be selected unless BESTCOMM_FEC is selected first. Kconfig stops complaining this way. Also, the driver only works for arch/powerpc (not arch/ppc) anyway so it should depend on PPC_MERGE also.

2007-10-30dio: fix cache invalidation after sync writesZach Brown1-10/+6
Commit commit 65b8291c4000e5f38fc94fb2ca0cb7e8683c8a1b ("dio: invalidate clean pages before dio write") introduced a bug which stopped dio from ever invalidating the page cache after writes. It still invalidated it before writes so most users were fine. Karl Schendel reported ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/481 ) hitting this bug when he had a buffered reader immediately reading file data after an O_DIRECT wirter had written the data. The kernel issued read-ahead beyond the position of the reader which overlapped with the O_DIRECT writer. The failure to invalidate after writes caused the reader to see stale data from the read-ahead. The following patch is originally from Karl. The following commentary is his: The below 3rd try takes on your suggestion of just invalidating no matter what the retval from the direct_IO call. I ran it thru the test-case several times and it has worked every time. The post-invalidate is probably still too early for async-directio, but I don't have a testcase for that; just sync. And, this won't be any worse in the async case. I added a test to the aio-dio-regress repository which mimics Karl's IO pattern. It verifed the bad behaviour and that the patch fixed it. I agree with Karl, this still doesn't help the case where a buffered reader follows an AIO O_DIRECT writer. That will require a bit more work. This gives up on the idea of returning EIO to indicate to userspace that stale data remains if the invalidation failed.

2007-10-30locks: fix possible infinite loop in posix deadlock detectionJ. Bruce Fields1-0/+11
It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite loop (under the BKL). For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations. We may want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of deadlock detection. But that will take more time, and this minimal fix is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

2007-10-30fix tmpfs BUG and AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEHugh Dickins1-0/+15
It's possible to provoke unionfs (not yet in mainline, though in mm and some distros) to hit shmem_writepage's BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)). I expect it's possible to provoke the 2.6.23 ecryptfs in the same way (but the 2.6.24 ecryptfs no longer calls lower level's ->writepage). This came to light with the recent find that AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE could leak from tmpfs via write_cache_pages and unionfs to userspace. There's already a fix (e423003028183df54f039dfda8b58c49e78c89d7 - writeback: don't propagate AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE) in the tree for that, and it's okay so far as it goes; but insufficient because it doesn't address the underlying issue, that shmem_writepage expects to be called only by vmscan (relying on backing_dev_info capabilities to prevent the normal writeback path from ever approaching it). That's an increasingly fragile assumption, and ramdisk_writepage (the other source of AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEs) is already careful to check wbc->for_reclaim before returning it. Make the same check in shmem_writepage, thereby sidestepping the page_mapped BUG also.

2007-10-30libata: implement and use ATA_QCFLAG_QUIETTejun Heo3-3/+6
Implement ATA_QCFLAG_QUIET which indicates that there's no need to report if the command fails with AC_ERR_DEV and set it for passthrough commands. Combined with previous changes, this now makes device errors for all direct commands reported directly to the issuer without going through EH actions and reporting. Note that EH is still invoked after non-IO device errors to determine the nature of the error and resume command execution (some controller requires special care after error to continue). It just performs default maintenance after error, examines what's going on, realizes that it's none of its business and reports the command failure without logging any error messages.

Second-generation Promise SATA controllers have an ASIC bug which can trigger if the last PRD entry is larger than 164 bytes, resulting in intermittent errors and possible data corruption. Work around this by replacing calls to ata_qc_prep() with a private version that fills the PRD, checks the size of the last entry, and if necessary splits it to avoid the bug. Also reduce sg_tablesize by 1 to accommodate the new entry. Tested on the second-generation SATA300 TX4 and SATA300 TX2plus, and the first-generation PDC20378.

2007-10-30[TCP]: Saner thash_entries default with much memory.Jean Delvare1-1/+1
On systems with a very large amount of memory, the heuristics in alloc_large_system_hash() result in a very large TCP established hash table: 16 millions of entries for a 128 GB ia64 system. This makes reading from /proc/net/tcp pretty slow (well over a second) and as a result netstat is slow on these machines. I know that /proc/net/tcp is deprecated in favor of tcp_diag, however at the moment netstat only knows of the former. I am skeptical that such a large TCP established hash is often needed. Just because a system has a lot of memory doesn't imply that it will have several millions of concurrent TCP connections. Thus I believe that we should put an arbitrary high limit to the size of the TCP established hash by default. Users who really need a bigger hash can always use the thash_entries boot parameter to get more. I propose 2 millions of entries as the arbitrary high limit. This makes /proc/net/tcp reasonably fast on the system in question (0.2 s) while being still large enough for me to be confident that network performance won't suffer. This is just one way to limit the hash size, there are others; I am not familiar enough with the TCP code to decide which is best. Thus, I would welcome the proposals of alternatives. [ 2 million is still too large, thus I've modified the limit in the change to be '512 * 1024'. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-30[NET]: Fix error reporting in sys_socketpair().David S. Miller1-1/+4
If either of the two sock_alloc_fd() calls fail, we forget to update 'err' and thus we'll erroneously return zero in these cases. Based upon a report and patch from Rich Paul, and commentary from Chuck Ebbert. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-30[NET]: Fix race between poll_napi() and net_rx_action()David S. Miller2-10/+37
netpoll_poll_lock() synchronizes the ->poll() invocation code paths, but once we have the lock we have to make sure that NAPI_STATE_SCHED is still set. Otherwise we get: cpu 0 cpu 1 net_rx_action() poll_napi() netpoll_poll_lock() ... spin on ->poll_lock ->poll() netif_rx_complete netpoll_poll_unlock() acquire ->poll_lock() ->poll() netif_rx_complete() CRASH Based upon a bug report from Tina Yang.

2007-10-30[TCP] vegas: Fix a bug in disabling slow start by gamma parameter.Xiaoliang (David) Wei1-19/+18
TCP Vegas implementation has a bug in the process of disabling slow-start with gamma parameter. The bug may lead to extreme unfairness in the presence of early packet loss. See details in: http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~weixl/technical/ns2linux/known_linux/index.html#vegas Switch the order of "if (tp->snd_cwnd <= tp->snd_ssthresh)" statement and "if (diff > gamma)" statement to eliminate the problem.

2007-10-30[IPVS]: use proper timeout instead of fixed valueAndy Gospodarek1-2/+3
Instead of using the default timeout of 3 minutes, this uses the timeout specific to the protocol used for the connection. The 3 minute timeout seems somewhat arbitrary (though I know it is used other places in the ipvs code) and when failing over it would be much nicer to use one of the configured timeout values.
