A bunch of drivers use address of ifr->ifr_ifru, but spell that as &ifr->ifr_data, which expands to &ifr->ifr_ifru.ifru_data. ifr_ifru is a union and in effect they sneak in a private field into that union; ifr_ifru.ifru_data is a field in that union and it has nothing to do with the things they want to do. Cleaned up by explicit use of &ifr->ifr_ifru. Several places where we really use ->ifr_data (i.e. use its value and use it as __user pointer) annotated.

It's almost a "move common expression into inline helper", except that instead of (struct mii_ioctl_data *)&rq->ifr_ifru.ifru_data it does (struct mii_ioctl_data *)&rq->ifr_ifru - pointer to union instead of pointer to a field of union that has nothing to do with mii_ioctl_data *and* adds confusion by being a pointer itself.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller ChangeSet@1.1764.2.1, 2004-06-03 22:03:01-07:00, jmorris@redhat.com [NETFILTER]: Fix checksum bug for multicast/broadcast packets on postrouting hook. In a nutshell, skb checksum mangling has been removed from nf_hook_slow() and pushed up to whatever really needs to do it. Namely: NAT, ip_fw_compat, ipt_TCPMSS, IPSec transforms. skb_checksum_help() has been changed to perform an skb_copy() if needed (e.g. the original problem case where bcast/mcast was cloning packets for transmission over loopback, changing ip_summed). Because of the above, the output path has been modified to take into account the fact that an skb may need to be changed in some places. There are some minor changes in the routing code to take care of the now different input and output function prototypes. The ipv6 fragmentation code has been modified to detect a changed skb. The rest of the patch (probably the bulk of it) is simply the result of changing to double skb pointers. I've tested this with ipv4, ipv6, ipsec (including xfrm bundles), NAT and the original DHCP test case. Everything seems to be working ok. Signed-off-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: David S.

Note that there was nothing that said "it's a pointer" - use of callback that would take e.g. int is also perfectly legitimate. The rest is triviali annotation.

This patch also allows resources starting at 0 to be accepted as assigned (we can and do get PCI resources starting at 0 in I/O space on PPC machines) and provides a sensible default for the case where Open Firmware doesn't give us a bus-range property for a PCI bridge.

However, the hash table entry format is different on 64-bit cpus (POWER3, G5) which the ppc32 kernel does support (in 32-bit mode). This patch disables the scanning of the MMU hash table and printing of the statistics that we get from it on 64-bit cpus. Since the statistics are only for interest, and the ppc32 kernel is being used less and less on 64-bit cpus now that the ppc64 kernel is in reasonable shape, I didn't think it worth while to add code to deal with the 64-bit HPTE format.

The code calls sched_balance_exec() before determining whether "filename" actually exists. In many cases, users have several entries in $PATH. If a full path name is not specified on the 'exec" call, the library code iterates thru the files in the PATH list until it finds the program. This can result is numerous migrations of the parent process before the program is actually found.

Some devices have partition tables (and there are many styles of such), some don't. Traditionally fixed disks have one, floppies don't. Nobody knows what happens with ZIP disks, USB sticks and other such things. Both the DOS-type partition table, and the "big floppy" whole disk FAT filesystem are common. It is undesirable for the kernel to detect partitions where there are none. This leads to great confusion, sometimes to kernel crashes. In the particular case of DOS-type partition tables a partition entry has a 1-byte field boot_ind that traditionally is 0x80 for the boot partition and 0 for the other three primary partitions. Linux does not use this field, and one sometimes sees tables with all four entries zero. The patch tells the kernel not to think that something is a valid DOS-type partition table when a value other than 0 or 0x80 is encountered. I think it is a fairly safe change: I do not know of any fdisk-type program that will write other values there.

If the cpu comes up after we've given up on it, it tends to die in its first attempt to kmem_cache_alloc (uninitialized percpu data, I imagine). In my experimentation I haven't seen a processor take more than one second to become available; the patch waits five seconds just to be safe.

But this is not a real problem, load-balancing we do in a racy way to reduce overhead [and it's all statistics anyway so absolute accuracy is impossible], and active balancing itself is somewhat racy due to the migration-thread wakeup (and the active_balance flag) going outside the runqueue locks [for similar reasons]. so it all looks quite plausible - the normal SMP boxes dont trigger it, but Bjorn's 128-CPU setup with a non-trivial domain hiearachy triggers it.

Unfortunately this is racy and causes e.g. http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/nptl/tst-cond16.c?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc to hang on SMP. http://listman.redhat.com/archives/phil-list/2004-May/msg00023.html contains analysis how the hang happens, the problem is if any thread does pthread_cond_*wait in between releasing of the internal condvar mutex and FUTEX_REQUEUE operation, a wrong thread might be awaken (and immediately go to sleep again because it doesn't satisfy conditions for returning from pthread_cond_*wait) while the right thread requeued on the associated mutex and there would be nobody to wake that thread up. The patch below extends FUTEX_REQUEUE operation with something FUTEX_WAIT already uses: FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE is passed an additional argument which is the expected value of *futex. Kernel then while holding the futex locks checks if *futex != expected and returns -EAGAIN in that case, while if it is equal, continues with a normal FUTEX_REQUEUE operation. If the syscall returns -EAGAIN, NPTL can fall back to FUTEX_WAKE INT_MAX operation which doesn't have this problem, but is less efficient, while in the likely case that nobody hit the (small) window the efficient FUTEX_REQUEUE operation is used.

This makes it vulnerable to clagging up if the other end of connection is misbehaving - in particular if it is not giving timely hypervisor level acks to our data frams. This patch adds a watchdog timer which resets the connection to any lpar we seem to be having trouble sending to. With any luck the other end might behave better after the reset. If not, this will at least unclag the queue for a while so we can keep talking to the lpars which are behaving correctly.

We were missing a couple of places where we needed to use RELOC(). I added the RELOC in one case, and in the other, moved the variable that we were accessing onto the stack (and reduced its size). (We use the variable to get a property value, but we aren't interested in the value, just in whether the property exists or not. Since we pass the size of the variable to the OF getprop call, it won't overflow.) The effect of missing the RELOCs would be that random memory locations get used on IBM pSeries systems (possibly causing random boot failures). The other thing that this does is add a linux,phandle property to each node, containing the phandle for the node, which is the token that OF uses to identify the node. Some nodes reference other nodes by means of their phandle. Without the linux,phandle property, userspace code looking at the OF device-tree image in /proc/device-tree has no way of knowing which other node is being referenced.

In some cases, though, stack grows with "add $0xffffff80,%esp" and shrinks with "sub $0xffffff80,%esp". Obviously, we don't want to miss those cases. Since in either case add and sub seem to be balanced and contain the same parameter, we don't need a second regex. We simply accept hex numbers of up to 8 digits and treat them as negative numbers when the sub appears to be a little too high. ...or so I thought. But another day of testing proved me wrong again. Some functions do stuff like "sub $0x10,%esp", ..., "add $0x20,%esp". In other words, add and sub are *NOT* balanced. Manual inspection showed that 0x20 is a more realistic number, so I accept either variant, just in case. We pay for this with a bunch of duplicates in our output, but that beats missing some stack hogs. In the long run, this script has to be replaced by gcc options, really. Looking at the result and guessing back is such a stupid idea.

ChangeSet@1.1608.4.8, 2004-05-31 22:16:59+02:00, marcel@holtmann.org [Bluetooth] Remove CVS tags and cleanup the code Since we are using Bitkeeper the CVS tags are useless. This patch removes them and makes some whitespace cleanups.

It's not necessary since find_memend_and_nodes() initialises this itself. However, 'end' is not required if we initialise high_memory in this function rather than waiting until mem_init() is called.

We fix this, and provide a generic function which calculates the required timings (in nanoseconds) for IO, memory and attribute windows. The SOC drivers only have to convert this information to whatever format the hardware requires to achieve at least these timing parameters.
