2005-12-01[ARM] 3188/1: Add missing i2c dependency for AkitaRichard Purdie
Patch from Richard Purdie Akita requires inbuilt kernel i2c support for its GPIOs. Add this requirement to Kconfig and update the defconfig to match. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-12-01[ARM SMP] Use event instructions for spinlocksRussell King
ARMv6K CPUs have SEV (send event) and WFE (wait for event) instructions which allow the CPU clock to be suspended until another CPU issues a SEV, rather than spinning on the lock wasting power. Make use of these instructions. Note that WFE does not wait if an event has been sent since the last WFE cleared the event status, so although it may look racy, the instruction implementation ensures that these are dealt with.

2005-11-29[PATCH] setting irq affinity is broken in ia32 with MSI enabledShaohua Li
Setting irq affinity stops working when MSI is enabled. With MSI, move_irq is empty, so we can't change irq affinity. It appears a typo in Ashok's original commit for this issue.

2005-11-29[PATCH] hfsplus: don't modify journaled volumeRoman Zippel
Access to a journaled HFS+ volume is not officially supported under Linux, so mount such a volume read-only, but users can override this behaviour using the "force" mount option. The minimum requirement to relax this check is to at least check that the journal is empty and so nothing needs to be replayed to make sure the volume is consistent.

2005-11-29[PATCH] reiserfs: handle cnode allocation failure gracefullyJeff Mahoney
If an external device is used for a journal, by default it will use the entire device. The reiserfs journal code allocates structures per journal block when it mounts the file system. If the journal device is too large, and memory cannot be allocated for the structures, it will continue and ultimately panic when it can't pull one off the free list. This patch handles the allocation failure gracefully and prints an error message at mount time. Changes: Updated error message to be more descriptive to the user.

2005-11-29[PATCH] Fix crash when ptrace poking hugepage areasDavid Gibson
set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang). This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to hugepages.

2005-11-29[PATCH] process events connector: uid_t gid_t size issuesMatt Helsley
The uid_t and gid_t fields appear to present a 32/64-bit userspace/kernel problem for some archs. This patch addresses the problem by fixing the size to the largest size for uid_t/gid_t used in the kernel. This preserves the total size of the event structure while ensuring that the layouts of the ID change event match in 32 and 64-bit kernels and applications.

2005-11-29[IPV4] tcp/route: Another look at hash table sizesMike Stroyan
The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory. It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB. It wastes memory that could be better used. It also makes the netstat command slow because reading /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table. The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes. It seems that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long time. I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger fraction of memory for systems with more memory. While systems with really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table. The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash. tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters- bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket) numentries=thash_entries scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT) limit=0 On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction of the total memory on systems with larger memory. The threshold size for a i386 system is 512MB. For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the threshold is 2GB. For smaller memory systems- On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15 On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13 For larger memory systems- On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13 On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11 For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case. The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of total memory. In alloc_large_system_hash- | numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages; | numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1; | numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT; | numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT; At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the nearest megabyte boundary. | /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */ | if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT) | numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT); | else | numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale); On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of bytes of total memory. On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory. | log2qty = long_log2(numentries); | | do { | size = bucketsize << log2qty; bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded down to a power of two. On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory. On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory. For smaller systems the results are On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory. On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory. The large page effect can be removed by just replacing the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to alloc_large_system_hash. That makes them more like the other uses of that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
