* [PATCH] device-mapper ioctl: add skip lock_fs flagAlasdair G Kergon2006-01-061-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add ioctl DM_SKIP_LOCKFS_FLAG for userspace to request that lock_fs is bypassed when suspending a device. There's no change to the behaviour of existing code that doesn't know about the new flag.

* [PATCH] knfsd: check error status from vfs_getattr and i_op->fsyncDavid Shaw2006-01-062-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both vfs_getattr and i_op->fsync return error statuses which nfsd was largely ignoring. This as noticed when exporting directories using fuse. This patch cleans up most of the offences, which involves moving the call to vfs_getattr out of the xdr encoding routines (where it is too late to report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines. There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status either.

* [PATCH] jbd: split checkpoint listsJan Kara2006-01-061-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

* [PATCH] fuse: make maximum write data configurableMiklos Szeredi2006-01-061-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the maximum size of write data configurable by the filesystem. The previous fixed 4096 limit only worked on architectures where the page size is less or equal to this. This change make writing work on other architectures too, and also lets the filesystem receive bigger write requests in direct_io mode. Normal writes which go through the page cache are still limited to a page sized chunk per request.

* [PATCH] fuse: clean up request size limit checkingMiklos Szeredi2006-01-061-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the way a too large request is handled. Until now in this case the device read returned -EINVAL and the operation returned -EIO. Make it more flexibible by not returning -EINVAL from the read, but restarting it instead. Also remove the fixed limit on setxattr data and let the filesystem provide as large a read buffer as it needs to handle the extended attribute data. The symbolic link length is already checked by VFS to be less than PATH_MAX, so the extra check against FUSE_SYMLINK_MAX is not needed. The check in fuse_create_open() against FUSE_NAME_MAX is not needed, since the dentry has already been looked up, and hence the name already checked.

* [PATCH] s390: qdio V=V pass-throughFrank Pavlic2006-01-061-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature V=V qdio pass-through. QDIO and HiperSockets processing in z/VM V=V guest environments (as well as V=R with z/VM running in LPAR mode) requires shadowing of all QDIO architecture queue elements. Especially the shadowing of SBALs and SLSBs structures in the hypervisor, and the need to issue SIGA SYNC operations to observe state changes, eventually causes significant CPU processing overhead in the hypervisor. The QDIO pass-through support for V=V guests avoids the shadowing of SBALs and SLSBs. This significantly reduces the hypervisor overhead for QDIO based I/O.

* [PATCH] swsusp: introduce the swap map structureRafael J. Wysocki2006-01-061-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap.  The structure itself is described in a comment within the patch. The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way. This makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate these two parts in the future. This patch is needed to remove the suspend image size limit imposed by the limited size of the swsusp_info structure, which is essential for x86-64 systems with more than 512 MB of RAM.

* [PATCH] x86: convert bigsmp to use flat physical modeAshok Raj2006-01-062-45/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset. Intel chipsets (at least) don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with this message. For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform. When the CPU coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical flat mode. For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing. The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which the chipset may be in an inconsistent state. This patch avoids this problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size. Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity. When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get system device node" call: mov ax, es:[bx] Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

* [PATCH] x86: Pnp segments in segment hZachary Amsden2006-01-061-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move PnP BIOS segment definitions into segment.h; the segments are reserved here, so they might as well be defined here as well. Note I didn't do this for APM BIOS, as Macintosh and other systems use those values to emulate APM in some scary way I don't want to understand.

* [PATCH] x86: Cr4 is valid on some 486sZachary Amsden2006-01-061-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | So some 486 processors do have CR4 register. Allow them to present it in register dumps by using the old fault technique rather than testing processor family. Thanks to Maciej for noticing this.

* [PATCH] x86: GDT alignment fixZachary Amsden2006-01-061-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in VMware. Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT (which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is allocated dynamically.

* [PATCH] frv: improve signal handlingDavid Howells2006-01-061-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch improves the signal handling: (1) It makes do_signal() static as it isn't called from anywhere outside of the arch code. (2) It removes the regs argument to all the static functions within that file, using __frame instead (which is the same thing held in a global register).

* [PATCH] FRV: Make futex code compilable on nommu [try #2]David Howells2006-01-061-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the futex code compilable and usable on NOMMU by making the attempt to handle page faults conditional on CONFIG_MMU. If this is not enabled, then we can assume that EFAULT returned from futex_atomic_op_inuser() is not recoverable, and that the address lies outside of valid memory. handle_mm_fault() is made to BUG if called on NOMMU without attempting to invoke the actual handler (__handle_mm_fault).

* [PATCH] FRV: Implement futex operations for FRVDavid Howells2006-01-061-41/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The attached patch implements futex operations for the FRV architecture. The operations are applicable to both MMU and no-MMU modes; though the EFAULT handling will be a little bit of wasted space on the latter.
