[PATCH] fix spinlock-debugging smp_processor_id() usage

2005-12-20T18:47:55Z

When a spinlock debugging check hits, we print the CPU number as an informational thing - but there is no guarantee that preemption is off at that point - hence we should use raw_smp_processor_id(). Otherwise DEBUG_PREEMPT will print a warning. With this fix the warning goes away and only the spinlock-debugging info is printed. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix swiotlb pci_map_sg error handling

2005-12-20T18:13:54Z

The overflow checking condition in lib/swiotlb.c was wrong. It would first run a NULL pointer through virt_to_phys before testing it. Since pci_map_sg overflow is not that uncommon and causes data corruption (including broken file systems) when not properly detected I think it's better to fix it in 2.6.15. This affects x86-64 and IA64. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fix broken lib/genalloc.c

2005-11-28T22:42:23Z

genalloc improperly stores the sizes of freed chunks, allocates overlapping memory regions, and oopses after its in-band data is overwritten. Signed-off-by: Chris Humbert Cc: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] reiser4: add radix_tree_lookup_slot()

2005-11-07T15:53:37Z

Reiser4 uses radix trees to solve a trouble reiser4_readdir has serving nfs requests. Unfortunately, radix tree api lacks an operation suitable for modifying existing entry. This patch adds radix_tree_lookup_slot which returns pointer to found item within the tree. That location can be then updated. Both Nick and Christoph Lameter have patches which need this as well.

[PATCH] fix missing includes

2005-10-31T01:37:32Z

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: restore useful memmove const

2005-10-31T01:37:27Z

A couple of (char *) casts removed in a previous cleanup patch in lib/string.c:memmove() were actually useful, as they suppressed a couple of warnings: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type Fix by declaring the local variable const in the first place, so casts aren't needed to strip the const qualifier.
