[PATCH] kdump proc vmcore size oveflow fix

2006-04-07T16:44:30Z

A couple of /proc/vmcore data structures overflow with 32bit systems having memory more than 4G. This patch fixes those. Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] fbcon: Fix big-endian bogosity in slow_imageblit()

2006-04-07T16:44:29Z

The monochrome->color expansion routine that handles bitmaps which have (widths % 8) != 0 (slow_imageblit) produces corrupt characters in big-endian. This is caused by a bogus bit test in slow_imageblit(). Fix. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Acked-by: Herbert Poetzl Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] powerpc: make ISA floppies work again

2006-04-07T16:44:27Z

We used to assume that a DMA mapping request with a NULL dev was for ISA DMA. This assumption was broken at some point. Now we explicitly pass the detected ISA PCI device in the floppy setup. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] DM: Fix bug: BIO_RW_BARRIER requests to md/raid1 hang.

2006-03-28T06:47:31Z

Both R1BIO_Barrier and R1BIO_Returned are 4 !!!! This means that barrier requests don't get returned (i.e. b_endio called) because it looks like they already have been. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2

2006-03-19T21:21:12Z

The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and 5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device. For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind the 5714. All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround. Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing the patch. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole.

2006-03-19T21:20:06Z

If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3 (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet. Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported AX.25 dialects. The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

[MIPS] Sibyte: Fix race in sb1250_gettimeoffset().

2006-03-18T16:59:30Z

From Dave Johnson : sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised, it immediately resets and begins to count down again. If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value (or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump forward 1ms. Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at 1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
