tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit.

2010-10-29T04:44:07Z

[ Upstream commit 01db403cf99f739f86903314a489fb420e0e254f ] Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603 tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example. There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

x86/amd-iommu: Work around S3 BIOS bug

2010-10-29T04:43:57Z

commit 4c894f47bb49284008073d351c0ddaac8860864e upstream. This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the contents of these registers at boot time and restores them on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

guard page for stacks that grow upwards

2010-09-27T00:21:34Z

commit 8ca3eb08097f6839b2206e2242db4179aee3cfb3 upstream. pa-risc and ia64 have stacks that grow upwards. Check that they do not run into other mappings. By making VM_GROWSUP 0x0 on architectures that do not ever use it, we can avoid some unpleasant #ifdefs in check_stack_guard_page().

mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake

2010-09-27T00:21:34Z

commit aa45484031ddee09b06350ab8528bfe5b2c76d1c upstream. Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock. This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd is awake.

tcp: Prevent overzealous packetization by SWS logic.

2010-09-27T00:21:20Z

[ Upstream commit 01f83d69844d307be2aa6fea88b0e8fe5cbdb2f4 ] If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily. This causes problems with some embedded devices. However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things like fast retransmit and recovery to work. Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise we'll never send until the probe timer. Reported-by: ツ Leandro Melo de Sales Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: Combat per-cpu skew in orphan tests.

2010-09-27T00:21:17Z

[ Upstream commit ad1af0fedba14f82b240a03fe20eb9b2fdbd0357 ] As reported by Anton Blanchard when we use percpu_counter_read_positive() to make our orphan socket limit checks, the check can be off by up to num_cpus_online() * batch (which is 32 by default) which on a 128 cpu machine can be as large as the default orphan limit itself. Fix this by doing the full expensive sum check if the optimized check triggers. Reported-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit 50b926e439620c469565e8be0f28be78f5fca1ce upstream SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set at the CPU domain level if power saving isn't enabled, leading to many cache misses on large machines as we traverse looking for an idle shared cache to wake to. Change the enabler of select_idle_sibling() to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, and enable same at the sibling domain level.
