<title>[TCP]: Fix ambiguity in the `before' relation.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=9a036b9c33f74c989c4c8ac0abe05e0ed88f1f25'/>
<id>9a036b9c33f74c989c4c8ac0abe05e0ed88f1f25</id>
<content type='text'>
While looking at DCCP sequence numbers, I stumbled over a problem with
the following definition of before in tcp.h:

static inline int before(__u32 seq1, __u32 seq2)
{
        return (__s32)(seq1-seq2) &lt; 0;
}

Problem: This definition suffers from an an ambiguity, i.e. always

           before(a, (a + 2^31) % 2^32)) = 1
           before((a + 2^31) % 2^32), a) = 1

         In text: when the difference between a and b amounts to 2^31,
         a is always considered `before' b, the function can not decide.
         The reason is that implicitly 0 is `before' 1 ... 2^31-1 ... 2^31

Solution: There is a simple fix, by defining before in such a way that
          0 is no longer `before' 2^31, i.e. 0 `before' 1 ... 2^31-1
          By not using the middle between 0 and 2^32, before can be made
          unambiguous.
          This is achieved by testing whether seq2-seq1 &gt; 0 (using signed
          32-bit arithmetic).

I attach a patch to codify this. Also the `after' relation is basically
a redefinition of `before', it is now defined as a macro after before.

<title>[PATCH] fdtable: Provide free_fdtable() wrapper</title>

<content type='text'>
Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes
expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used
fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel.  The trivial patch below
addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable()
calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage.  Since free_fdtable() is a
one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

register_memory() becomes double definition in 2.6.20-rc1.  It is defined
in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c as static definition in 2.6.19.  But it is
moved to arch/i386/kernel/e820.c in 2.6.20-rc1.  And same name function is
defined in driver/base/memory.c too.  So, it becomes cause of compile error
of duplicate definition if memory hotplug option is on.
