2006-03-25IB/mthca: Fix modify QP error pathRoland Dreier1-10/+11
If the call to mthca_MODIFY_QP() failed, then mthca_modify_qp() would still do some things it shouldn't, such as store away attributes for special QPs. Fix this, and simplify the code, by simply jumping to the exit path if mthca_MODIFY_QP() fails. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-25IPoIB: Fix network interface "RUNNING" statusLeonid Arsh1-2/+3
With the current IPoIB driver, the status of network interfaces stays "RUNNING" even if the link goes down (for example because a cable is unplugged).

2006-03-25IB/srp: Use a fake scatterlist for non-SG SCSI commandsRoland Dreier2-77/+75
Since the SCSI midlayer is moving towards entirely getting rid of commands with use_sg == 0, we should treat this case as an exception. Therefore, change the IB SRP initiator to create a fake scatterlist for these commands with sg_init_one(). This simplifies the flow of DMA mapping and unmapping, since SRP can just use dma_map_sg() and dma_unmap_sg() unconditionally, rather than having to choose between the dma_{map,unmap}_sg() and dma_{map,unmap}_single() variants.

2006-03-24[PATCH] RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limitAndrew Morton1-1/+12
At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero seconds. But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does. Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead of overloading the value of it_prof_expires). Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's zero-seconds as one second.

There's a potential logic change here: we do the "is it_prof_expires equal to zero" test after converting it to seconds, rather than doing the comparison between raw cputime_t's.

2006-03-24[PATCH] console_setup() depends (wrongly?) on CONFIG_PRINTKJohn Z. Bohach1-38/+38
It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not set, resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e. console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...)

2006-03-24[PATCH] msync(): perform dirty page levellingAndrew Morton1-32/+61
It seems sensible to perform dirty page throttling in msync: as the application dirties pages we can kick off pdflush early, or even force the msync() caller to perform writeout, or even throttle the msync() caller. The main effect of this is to start disk writeback earlier if we've just discovered that a large amount of pagecache has been dirtied. (Otherwise it wouldn't happen for up to five seconds, next time pdflush wakes up). It also will cause the page-dirtying process to get panalised for dirtying those pages rather than whacking someone else with the problem. We should do this for munmap() and possibly even exit(), too. We drop the mmap_sem while performing the dirty page balancing. It doesn't seem right to hold mmap_sem for that long. Note that this patch only affects MS_ASYNC. MS_SYNC will be syncing all the dirty pages anyway. We note that msync(MS_SYNC) does a full-file-sync inside mmap_sem, and always has. We can fix that up... The patch also tightens up the mmap_sem coverage in sys_msync(): no point in taking it while we perform the incoming arg checking.
