| * FAT: add 'errors' mount optionDenis Karpov2009-06-041-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On severe errors FAT remounts itself in read-only mode. Allow to specify FAT fs desired behavior through 'errors' mount option: panic, continue or remount read-only. `mount -t [fat|vfat] -o errors=[panic,remount-ro,continue] \ <bdev> <mount point>` This is analog to ext2 fs 'errors' mount option.

| * | | [PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGSJohn Dykstra2009-06-111-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce " [NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width. Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86 code. A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still accessible via netlink.

Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read a number of times to get the initial state, and every further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next event from the kernel. The same structure you read is also used when writing to it to change the soft block of a given device, all devices of a given type, or all devices. This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in order to be able to test without it present since its functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely and distros and users may not want the input part of rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and consequently add the input code to the feature removal schedule. In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input. It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct behaviour in all cases.

As ECN can only be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it, somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe. The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested ECN off. Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end enable really has some potential gain too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

Failure to mark pages as 'unused' makes the LPAR slower to give up unused memory to other partitions. This adds the kernel parameter 'cmo_free_hint' to disable this functionality.

We will get the number of SNUMs from device tree by reading the new property "fsl,qe-num-snums", and set 28 as the default number of SNUMs so that it is compatible with the old QE chips' device trees which don't have this new property. The macro QE_NUM_OF_SNUM is defined as the maximum number in QE snum table which is 256. Also we update the snum_init[] array with 18 more new SNUMs which are confirmed to be useful on new chip.
