2007-05-23[NETPOLL]: Fix TX queue overflow in trapped mode.Sergei Shtylyov
CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP causes the TX queue controls to be completely bypassed in the netpoll's "trapped" mode which easily causes overflows in the drivers with short TX queues (most notably, in 8139too with its 4-deep queue). So, make this option more sensible by making it only bypass the TX softirq wakeup.

2007-05-04[NETFILTER]: ip_nat_proto_gre: do not modify/corrupt GREv0 packets through NATJorge Boncompte
While porting some changes of the 2.6.21-rc7 pptp/proto_gre conntrack and nat modules to a 2.4.32 kernel I noticed that the gre_key function returns a wrong pointer to the GRE key of a version 0 packet thus corrupting the packet payload. The intended behaviour for GREv0 packets is to act like ip_conntrack_proto_generic/ip_nat_proto_unknown so I have ripped the offending functions (not used anymore) and modified the ip_nat_proto_gre modules to not touch version 0 (non PPTP) packets.

2007-04-09prevent timespec/timeval to ktime_t overflowThomas Gleixner
Frank v. Waveren pointed out that on 64bit machines the timespec to ktime_t conversion might overflow. This is also true for timeval to time_t conversions. This breaks a "sleep inf" on 64bit machines. While a timespec/timeval with tx.sec = MAX_LONG is valid by specification the internal representation of ktime_t is based on nanoseconds. The conversion of seconds to nanoseconds overflows for seconds values >= (MAX_LONG / NSEC_PER_SEC). Check the seconds argument to the conversion and limit it to the maximum time which can be represented by ktime_t.

2007-03-24NETFILTER: Fix iptables ABI breakage on (at least) CRISPatrick McHardy
With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger. On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility with old iptables binaries. Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

2007-02-03reiserfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmappedVladimir Saveliev
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time. On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with sanity check that page has to be not mapped. The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags. reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

2006-11-11[NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trimHerbert Xu
When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length or tail from the frag_list. Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment. Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet with a frag_list attached. It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix and update frag_list.

2006-08-30ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handleNeil Brown
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block() allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a panic if `errors=panic' was used. So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage. Andrew Morton fixed an off-by-one error.

Repair /proc/devices early-termination regression. 2.6.16 broke /proc/devices. An application often gets an EOF before the end of data is reached, if that application uses a series of short read(2)s to access the data. I have used read buffers of varying sizes with varying degrees of unsuccess (larger sizes get further into the data than smaller sizes, following a simple pattern). It appears that the only safe way to get the data is to use a single read buffer larger than all the data in /proc/devices. The following example demonstates the problem: # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1 Character devices: 1 mem 27+0 records in 27+0 records out This patch is a backport of the fix recently accepted to Linus's tree: commit 68eef3b4791572ecb70249c7fb145bb3742dd899 [PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regression It replaces the complex, state-machine algorithm introduced in 2.6.16 with a simple algorithm, modeled on the implementation of /proc/interrupts.

2006-03-11[PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export againChristoph Hellwig
The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for __put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as __put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold references to task_structs. This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into __put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.
