a7ef787 Rafael J. Wysocki 05 August 2006, 19:13:42 UTC [PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process. If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process. Ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6787 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

eca7994 Dean Nelson 28 June 2006, 18:50:09 UTC [IA64] make uncached allocator more node aware The uncached allocator has a function, uncached_get_new_chunk(), that needs to be serialized on a per node basis. It also has a global variable, allocated_granules, which should be defined on a per node basis and protected by that serialization. Additionally, all error returns from functions called (like ia64_pal_mc_drain()) should be handled appropriately.

This was boot tested for memory configuration: SPARSEMEM, DISCONTIG+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP, FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP with largest memory gap less than LARGE_GAP by using boot parameter "mem=".

Not doing so violates the buddy allocator algorithm. Also anyone using mem=XXX on boot line and not aligned to MAX_ORDER requires this patch in order to satisfy buddy allocator. vmem_map always starts at pfn 0. The potentially large MAX_ORDER on ia64 (due to hugetlbfs) requires that the end of vmem_map be aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This was boot tested for: FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP, DISCONTIGMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and SPARSEMEM.

According to the software runtime SPEC, The caller's output registers do not need to be preserved for caller. The callee may reuse input registers for any other purpose within the procedure. in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked, input registers are copied to output registers before call into ia64_switch_mode_phys, then used to call into PAL. This assumes output registers are preserved in ia64_switch_mode_phys, which may not be true. In this particular case, ia64_switch_mode_phys alloc a null frame , and mask off psr.i. If an interrupt comes at this small window, or an MCA comes inside the procedure, output registers maybe changed, then the pal call may got some staled input registers. This patch moves the copies from input to output after ia64_switch_mode_phys to follow the software runtime convention. It also removed some unused labels in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked.

Instead of creating a security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the security context when the receiver requests it. This new design requires modification of the current unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely, secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing the security context because it is up to the security module to decide how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree operation. Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 02 August 2006, 21:12:06 UTC

The criteria is RFC 2465: ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of output datagram fragments that have been generated as a result of fragmentation at this output interface." ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 } I think there are two issues in Linux kernel. 1st: RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a fragment is created but failed to output. 2nd: If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying transport layer is better), but this is not the "real" fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date, and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer -- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

32c524d Wei Dong 02 August 2006, 20:39:57 UTC [IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsInHdrErrors" counter error When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics "ipv6IfStatsInHdrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase correctly. The criteria is RFC2465: ipv6IfStatsInHdrErrors OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter3 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IPv6 headers, including version number mismatch, other format errors, hop count exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IPv6 options, etc." ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 2 } When I send TTL=0 and TTL=1 a packet to a router which need to be forwarded, router just sends an ICMPv6 message to tell the sender that TIME_EXCEED and HOPLIMITS, but no increments for this counter(in the function ip6_forward).

b60dfc6 David S. Miller 01 August 2006, 07:00:12 UTC [NET]: Kill the WARN_ON() calls for checksum fixups. We have a more complete solution in the works, involving the seperation of CHECKSUM_HW on input vs. output, and having netfilter properly do incremental checksums. But that is a very involved patch and is thus 2.6.19 material. What we have now is infinitely better than the past, wherein all TSO packets were dropped due to corrupt checksums as soon at the NAT module was loaded. At least now, the checksums do get fixed up, it just isn't the cleanest nor most optimal solution. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 02 August 2006, 20:38:30 UTC

8af2745 Christoph Hellwig 01 August 2006, 05:35:23 UTC [NET]: Add netdev_alloc_skb(). Add a dev_alloc_skb variant that takes a struct net_device * paramater. For now that paramater is unused, but I'll use it to allocate the skb from node-local memory in a follow-up patch. Also there have been some other plans mentioned on the list that can use it.

52499af David S. Miller 01 August 2006, 05:32:09 UTC [TCP]: Process linger2 timeout consistently. Based upon guidance from Alexey Kuznetsov. When linger2 is active, we check to see if the fin_wait2 timeout is longer than the timewait. If it is, we schedule the keepalive timer for the difference between the timewait timeout and the fin_wait2 timeout. When this orphan socket is seen by tcp_keepalive_timer() it will try to transform this fin_wait2 socket into a fin_wait2 mini-socket, again if linger2 is active. Not all paths were setting this initial keepalive timer correctly. The tcp input path was doing it correctly, but tcp_close() wasn't, potentially making the socket linger longer than it really needs to. Signed-off-by: David S.

a280b89 James Morris 31 July 2006, 03:46:38 UTC [SECURITY] secmark: nul-terminate secdata The patch below fixes a problem in the iptables SECMARK target, where the user-supplied 'selctx' string may not be nul-terminated. From initial analysis, it seems that the strlen() called from selinux_string_to_sid() could run until it arbitrarily finds a zero, and possibly cause a kernel oops before then. The impact of this appears limited because the operation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is essentially always root. Also, the module is not yet in wide use.
