2005-12-12[PATCH] Fix RCU race in access of nohz_cpu_maskSrivatsa Vaddagiri
Accessing nohz_cpu_mask before incrementing rcp->cur is racy. It can cause tickless idle CPUs to be included in rsp->cpumask, which will extend graceperiods unnecessarily. Fix this race. It has been tested using extensions to RCU torture module that forces various CPUs to become idle.

2005-12-12[PATCH] Fix bug in RCU torture testSrivatsa Vaddagiri
While doing some test of RCU torture module, I hit a OOPS in rcu_do_batch, which was trying to processes callback of a module that was just removed. This is because we weren't waiting long enough for all callbacks to fire. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com> Cc: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Paul E.

2005-12-12[PATCH] add rcu_barrier() synchronization pointDipankar Sarma
This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all the RCUs queued until this call have been completed. Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU callbacks are executed. The only change of reiser4 made to the original patch, is exporting of rcu_barrier(). Cc: Hans Reiser <reiser@namesys.com> Cc: Vladimir V.

2005-12-12[PATCH] x86: fix NMI with CPU hotplugShaohua Li
With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working. It appears the violation is the cpu_online check in nmi handler. local ACPI based NMI watchdog is initialized before we set CPU online for APs. It's quite possible a NMI is fired before we set CPU online, and that's what happens here.

2005-12-11Allow arbitrary read-only shared pfn-remapping tooLinus Torvalds
The VM layer (for historical reasons) turns a read-only shared mmap into a private-like mapping with the VM_MAYWRITE bit clear. Thus checking just VM_SHARED isn't actually sufficient. So use a trivial helper function for the cases where we wanted to inquire if a mapping was COW-like or not. Moo! Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-12-11Remove (at least temporarily) the "incomplete PFN mapping" supportLinus Torvalds
With the previous commit, we can handle arbitrary shared re-mappings even without this complexity, and since the only known private mappings are for strange users of /dev/mem (which never create an incomplete one), there seems to be no reason to support it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-12-11Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP'sLinus Torvalds
A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has gone through COW or not. This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping" logic for the common case. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-12-12[PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernelJohannes Berg
ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy resolution.

2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Fix SLB flushing path in hugepageDavid Gibson
On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error, copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepagesDavid Gibson
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.

2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Set cache info defaultsOlof Johansson
Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info(). However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate instructions used with SLB fault code. Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment. Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type to know what property to look for, etc, etc. For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small dcbst/icbi increments.

2005-12-08[NET]: Fix NULL pointer deref in checksum debugging.Stephen Hemminger
The problem I was seeing turned out to be that skb->dev is NULL when the checksum is being completed in user context. This happens because the reference to the device is dropped (to allow it to be released when packets are in the queue). Because skb->dev was NULL, the netdev_rx_csum_fault was panicing on deref of dev->name. How about this? Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-12-05ppc: Build in all three of powermac, PREP and CHRP supportPaul Mackerras
This reverts commit da0825fd201a03294dbf7f8f030676d608da122c, making it so that if you select CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM you get support for PMAC, PREP and CHRP built in. The reason for not allowing PMAC, PREP and CHRP to be selected individually for ARCH=ppc is that there is too much interdependency between them in the platform support code. For example, CHRP uses the PMAC nvram code. Configuring with ARCH=powerpc does allow you to select support for PMAC and CHRP separately. Support for PREP is not there yet but should be there soon.
