It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.

[SCSI] megaraid_old: fix READ_CAPACITY
|
|
Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.
That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.
Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.
[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
migrated to x86-64..

The bulk transfer mode got eleminated by
3f6270ef76f2ce5c134615a470685d6c2a66c07e. Unfortunately, this mode is
required for READ_CAPACITY commands on certain cards, so put it back
again. This fixes a boot failure regression reported by Burton
Windle.

Fix bug in sata_mv for cases where the IOMMU layer has merged SG entries

Just for simplicity's sake, split up at 64K boundary instead of 64K size,

For the case where the source is not aligned modulo 8
we don't use load-twins to suck the data in and this
kills performance since normal loads allocate in the
L1 cache (unlike load-twin) and thus big memcpys swipe
the entire L1 D-cache.
We need to allocate a register window to implement this
properly, but that actually simplifies a lot of things
as a nice side-effect.

TCP V4 sequence numbers are 32bits, and RFC 793 assumed a 250 KHz clock.
In order to follow network speed increase, we can use a faster clock, but
we should limit this clock so that the delay between two rollovers is
greater than MSL (TCP Maximum Segment Lifetime : 2 minutes)
Choosing a 64 nsec clock should be OK, since the rollovers occur every
274 seconds.

For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text
offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.
Roland McGrath explains:
"There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible
for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in
'.gnu.version')
Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym. This
was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be
the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the
cutoff was.
The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess.
This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and
data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole
file over 4kb. If it does grow later on, we should consider changing
the layout with a config option or something to pack it better
without that padding, when building the kernel with newer binutils."

On a POWER6 machine running 2.6.23-rc8 I sometimes see the following error:
xics_set_affinity: No online cpus in the mask 00000000,00000000,00000000,00000001 for irq 20
In a desperate attempt to get a changelog entry in 2.6.23, I took a look
into it.
It turns out we are passing a real and not a virtual irq into
get_irq_server. This works for the case where hwirq < NR_IRQS and we
set virq = hwirq. In my case however hwirq = 590082 and we try and
access irq_desc[590082], slightly past the end at 512 entries.
Lucky we ship lots of memory with our machines.

Nick Piggin points out that splice isn't being good about the mmap
semaphore: while two readers can nest inside each others, it does leave
a possible deadlock if a writer (ie a new mmap()) comes in during that
nesting.
Original "just move the locking" patch by Nick, replaced by one by me
based on an optimistic pagefault_disable(). And then Jens tested and

This reverts commit b394e43e995d08821588a22561c6a71a63b4ff27.
Lachlan McIlroy says:
It tried to fix an issue where log replay is replaying an inode cluster
initialisation transaction that should not be replayed because the inode
cluster on disk is more up to date. Since we don't log file sizes (we
rely on inode flushing to get them to disk) then we can't just replay
all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely
restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing
more (serious) problems than it is fixing.

Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust
mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab
the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex.
fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the
robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1)
some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some
mutexs held by a different thread are freed.
The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.
