This change added an (empty) IRQ_NONE #define to interrupt.h. Several scsi drivers are already using an IRQ_NONE. Rename that to SCSI_IRQ_NONE (a similar change was done in 2.5 by Andrew Morton several months ago). I've tested the compilation with 2.4.23-pre2.

(thats easier for > me to apply :)) As you wish: Looks like I lied - the DCD (carrier detect) isn't here as it needs more testing - it's in 2.6 only. Changes: * Documentation and spelling fixes * user can query PVC device for type and DLCI * private Frame Relay helper routines moved out of hdlc.h * added hdlc_type_trans() to simplify packet receive path and make tcpdump etc. happy * missing rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unload() bug in unregister_hdlc_device fixed * N2, C101: interrupt handler now works under high IRQ load from other devices (with previous versions, the IRQ processing for the card could sometimes stop after reaching "work limit") * Added Ethernet device emulation for raw HDLC. VLAN and bridging compatible, tested with RAD ChipBridge (ChipBridge doesn't work with full size VLAN frames, though). * Added Ethernet device emulation for bridged Ethernet frames on Frame-Relay. * no more "protocol 0008 is buggy" while using tcpdump, at last. * Frame-Relay DCE (network) side now sorts DLCI list in PVC FULL STATUS. Some FR DTE had problems with unsorted list. * Small changes to LMI logic with Frame-Relay. * raw HDLC now defaults to ITU-T 16-bit CRC. * fix for SCA-II based cards (drivers not in standard kernel) interrupt setting when using 2 ports. * there is now one detect_ram routine for all SCA-based cards. * hw drivers have now smaller TX packet rings to decrease TX latency for high priority packets (LMI etc) * fixed subtle transmit bug in c101.c which could lead to transmitter hangs and duplicated frames with SCA HD64570 working in 8-bit mode. * kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) in interrupt context has been fixed. * Some __init etc fixes. * other misc fixes -- Krzysztof Halasa, B*FH ChangeSet@1.1128, 2003-09-02 08:51:08-03:00, agruen@suse.de [PATCH] fix setxattr const-ness Hello Marcelo, this is a fix I've already sent you earlier.

In case a driver calls skb_padto(), it is possible that the space available in the original skb buffer tailroom is less than the space to pad. In this case, in short, the skb_padto() will create a new skb buffer, copy data from the original skb buffer to a new skb buffer, free the original buffer, and finally return the new buffer. If this happens to the aforementioned device drivers, they come to point to wrong data. And, for 3c527 and yellowfin, the drivers can unexpectedly double free the original skb buffers since they still point to the original skb buffers. The attached patch against 2.4.23pre1 fixes these issues.

Tom, does it look better for you ? BTW, Tom, I found the exact reason for the line which irritated you : #if !defined(CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT) || (CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT - 0 == 0) it was because because I was worried about CONFIG_LOG_BUG_SHIFT being defined to the empty string (a simple #define CONFIG_LOG_BUG_SHIFT is enough), as I remember it happened to me when working on it. But there's no reason here for this to happen, otherwise we would have far worse problems with values extracted from .config, so I fixed it. I added the config line to all archs. I used copy paste, so either I broke them all, either none. I'll start a compilation on my alpha while I'm on the way home, to check. I you have questions, please do ask.

In short if you change SEMMNI to 8192 the kernel will crash at boot, beause it tries to call vmalloc before the smp is initialized. The reason is that vmalloc calls into the pte alloc code, and the fast pte alloc is tried first, but that reads into the pte_quicklist, that requires the cpu_data to be initialized (and that happens in smp_init()). the patch is obviously safe, since no piece of kernel (especially the code in the check_bugs and smp_init paths ;) calls into the ipc subsystem. The reason this started to trigger wasn't really that we increased SEMMNI, but what happend is that some IPC data structure grown, and for some reason the corruption due the uninitalized pte_quicklist triggers only for smp boxes with less than 1G (not very common anymore ;). So it wasn't immediatly reproducible on all setups. 2.6 doesn't suffer from the same problem, simply because 2.6 isn't using the quicklist anymore, but I think it would be much more correct to make the same change in 2.6 too, since whatever cond_resched() in the vm paths (and they're definitely allowed to call it), will lead to a crash since the init task isn't initialized and the scheduler can't be invoked yet. (and 2.6 already has the bigger data structures that should trigger the vmalloc all the time on all setups) ChangeSet@1.1096.5.40, 2003-08-30 10:19:18-03:00, alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk [PATCH] PATCH: resend - mm checks have precedence bugs ChangeSet@1.1096.5.39, 2003-08-30 10:09:02-03:00, marcelo@logos.cnet add sysctl bits for setuid core ChangeSet@1.1096.5.38, 2003-08-30 09:55:31-03:00, alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk [PATCH] PATCH: Fix the file sharing/initrd bug ChangeSet@1.1096.5.37, 2003-08-30 09:55:07-03:00, alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk [PATCH] PATCH: Add headers for wolfson codecs ChangeSet@1.1096.5.36, 2003-08-30 09:54:44-03:00, alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk [PATCH] PATCH: add sysctl number for setuid core ChangeSet@1.1096.5.35, 2003-08-30 09:50:13-03:00, alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk [PATCH] PATCH: allow setuid core dumps In some situations you want to get dumps of setuid apps, either because you administer the system or because you have a secure area to collect them all (remember core path is configurable too).

The ucontext struct now corresponds with glibc's new ucontext_t. The old ucontext didn't actually have room for all the registers, and it had to be changed to allow setcontext et al. to be implemented. This means that the stack layout for real-time signal delivery has changed slightly. Existing applications using the uc_mcontext.regs pointer will still work since the new uc_regs field is in the same position and points to the start of the mcontext, where the registers are saved. We now save the vector registers on the stack on signal delivery if the process has ever used any altivec instructions (since the last exec). Swapcontext is implemented as a system call because it isn't possible to set all three of LR, CTR and the instruction pointer to arbitrary values at user level, and because the kernel knows whether the FP and vector registers are owned by this process and can optimize in the case that they aren't. With the swapcontext system call we can implement setcontext, getcontext and swapcontext.

That's fine, but can you send me just one patch that does > this instead? The attached patch combines the changes, but apart from a tiny reduction in code size, it doesn't achieve anything, but doesn't seem to cause any harm either. I'll leave it to your discretion whether or not to apply it. As I mentioned previously, leaving the port->open_count check in (to only schedule a soft interrupt when the port is open) seems to prevent an oops, but I suppose it just makes the oops less likely to happen rather than eliminate it entirely.

However, on xapics in clustered physical mode (ie: x440s) we need to convert this mask into a physical apicid before sending it to the apic. If clustered_apic_mode is XAPIC, this patch selects the lowest cpu in the mask and routes the interrupts there. This avoids timedoubling and other interrupt misdirection seen on x440s after playing with /proc/irq/x/smp_affinity.

This basically clobbers the SMI, which can cause problems with console redirection as well keeping us from being able to transition into full ACPI mode. This patch (back ported from 2.5) simply reads the apic entry in clear_IO_APIC to make sure the delivery_mode isn't dest_SMI. If it is, we leave the apic entry alone and return. With this patch, booting with full ACPI works and SMIs function properly.

This fixes BIOS problems reported by a few people. disable_local_APIC() now checks if detect_init_APIC() enabled the local APIC via the APIC_BASE MSR, and if so it now disables APIC_BASE. Previously we would leave APIC_BASE enabled, and that made some BIOSen malfunction. The SMP reboot code calls disable_local_APIC(). On SMP HW there is no change since detect_init_APIC() isn't called and APIC_BASE isn't enabled by us. An SMP kernel on UP HW behaves just like an UP_APIC kernel, so it disables APIC_BASE if we enabled it at boot. The UP_APIC suspend code is simplified since the existing code to disable APIC_BASE is moved into disable_local_APIC(). (Felix Kühling originally reported the BIOS reboot problem. This is a fixed-up version of his preliminary patch.) Backport from 2.6.0-test4. Tested in 2.4.22-rc. Please apply. /Mikael ChangeSet@1.1065.14.9, 2003-08-25 19:28:16-03:00, mikpe@csd.uu.se [PATCH] 2.4.22 local APIC updates 2/3: add lapic/nolapic options Marcelo, This patch adds the lapic and nolapic kernel options, which give users greater control of the local APIC enable process on x86: - "nolapic" prevents the kernel from enabling or using the local APIC. This is stronger than listing a machine in the DMI scan blacklist, since it also works for machines that boot with the local APIC already enabled. "nolapic" can also be seen as a simple-to-deploy alternative to keeping the DMI blacklist rules up-to-date. - "lapic" tells the kernel to force-enable the P4 local APIC if the BIOS disabled it. This is needed on some machines. The default (don't enable if BIOS didn't) can't be changed since there is an even larger number of P4s where ACPI breaks if the local APIC is enabled. Backport from 2.6.0-test4. Tested in 2.4.22-rc. Please apply. This patch renames the dont_enable_local_apic variable, so if you apply it you also need to apply "local APIC updates 1/3: remove incorrect blacklist rules". /Mikael ChangeSet@1.1065.14.8, 2003-08-25 19:26:55-03:00, mikpe@csd.uu.se [PATCH] 2.4.22 local APIC updates 1/3: remove incorrect blacklist rules Marcelo, This patch removes the x86 local APIC blacklist rules for the Microstar 6163 and Intel AL440LX mainboards, as these boards _do_ work with local APIC enabled. The AL440LX blacklist rule was the only place where the dont_enable_local_apic_timer flag could be set, so the patch removes that variable and the code which checks it. The hangs these boards used to have has since been traced to a combination of using specific graphics cards with APM's DISPLAY_BLANK option. Backport from 2.5.72. Also tested in 2.4 for months.

The attached patch fixes the issue, by reading in the actual apic version. This apic-version is used later in the boot process, to identify whether the processor supports xAPIC or not. And that in turn was resulting in boot failure.

After /linuxrc has been executed and the kernel tries to remount the root, it panics with the all too well known message "Unable to mount root fs on ...". The kernel bugs out in mount_block_root in the file init/do_mounts.c, to be more precise in the for-loop. What happens is that it tries to mount the file system as type ext2 (which happens to be first in the list in our case), but instead of returning -EINVAL it returns -EBUSY, the loop exits instead of trying the next (correct) fs-type and the kernel panics. In -wolk for some time and maybe others.
