35b73ce [PATCH] ACPI: fix vendor resource length computation acpi_rs_get_list_length() needs to account for all the vendor-defined data bytes. Failing to include these causes buffers to be sized too small, which causes slab corruption when we later convert AML to resources and run off the end of the buffer. This causes slab corruption on machines that use ACPI vendor-defined resources. All HP ia64 machines do, and I'm told that some NEC machines may as well.

5433045 [PATCH] s390: smp initialization speed The last changes that introduced the additional_cpus command line parameter also introduced a regression regarding smp initialization speed. In smp_setup_cpu_possible_map() cpu_present_map is set to the same value as cpu_possible_map. Especially that means that bits in the present map will be set for cpus that are not present. This will cause a slow down in the initial cpu_up() loop in smp_init() since trying to take cpus online that aren't present takes a while. Fix this by setting only bits for present cpus in cpu_present_map and set cpu_present_map to cpu_possible_map in smp_cpus_done().

4bbf39c [PATCH] Introduce CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> wrote: The boot sequence on s390 sometimes takes ages and we spend a very long time (up to one or two minutes) in calibrate_migration_costs. The time spent there differs from boot to boot. Also the calculated costs differ a lot. I've seen differences by up to a factor of 15 (yes, factor not percent). Also I doubt that making these measurements make much sense on a completely virtualized architecture where you cannot tell how much cpu time you will get anyway. So introduce the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST method for an architecture to set the scheduler migration costs. This turns off automatic detection of migration costs. Makes sense on virtual platforms, where migration costs are hard to measure accurately.

b2f4903 [PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2 Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.

726c14b [PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick length This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally. The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length. Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that it was (still) correct. The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one, we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length. Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can be fixed up at the next tick.

dd942ae [PATCH] Handle all and empty zones when setting up custom zonelists for mbind The memory allocator doesn't like empty zones (which have an uninitialized freelist), so a x86-64 system with a node fully in GFP_DMA32 only would crash on mbind. Fix that up by putting all possible zones as fallback into the zonelist and skipping the empty ones. In fact the code always enough allocated space for all zones, but only used it for the highest. This change just uses all the memory that was allocated before. This should work fine for now, but whoever implements node hot removal needs to fix this somewhere else too (or make sure zone datastructures by itself never go away, only their memory) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 17 February 2006, 16:18:14 UTC

7345137 [PATCH] wireless/atmel: fix Open System authentication process bugs This patch fixes a number of bugs in the authentication process: 1) When falling back to Shared Key authentication mode from Open System, a missing 'return' would cause the auth request to be sent, but would drop the card into Management Error state. When falling back, the driver should also indicate that it is switching to Shared Key mode by setting exclude_unencrypted. 2) Initial authentication modes were apparently wrong in some cases, causing the driver to attempt Shared Key authentication mode when in fact the access point didn't support that mode or even had WEP disabled. The driver should set the correct initial authentication mode based on wep_is_on and exclude_unencrypted. 3) Authentication response packets from the access point in Open System mode were getting ignored because the driver was expecting the sequence number of a Shared Key mode response. The patch separates the OS and SK mode handling to provide the correct behavior. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

9f67200 [PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2) There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach. - First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now. Due to this, the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which are completely stupid. - Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight has been turned off. Reading the value back during unblank will disable the LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since we set it to zero beforehand. So this is what we do now: - create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine whether to read back registers (initialized to true) - before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any possible change made through Fn key combo - use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something - every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it This should give us a nice and clean state machine. Has been thoroughly tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off. I changed the config via Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly. Signed-off-by: Christian Trefzer <ctrefzer@gmx.de> Cc: "Antonino A.

defbb2c [IA64] ia64: simplify and fix udelay() The original ia64 udelay() was simple, but flawed for platforms without synchronized ITCs: a preemption and migration to another CPU during the while-loop likely resulted in too-early termination or very, very lengthy looping. The first fix (now in 2.6.15) broke the delay loop into smaller, non-preemptible chunks, reenabling preemption between the chunks. This fix is flawed in that the total udelay is computed to be the sum of just the non-premptible while-loop pieces, i.e., not counting the time spent in the interim preemptible periods. If an interrupt or a migration occurs during one of these interim periods, then that time is invisible and only serves to lengthen the effective udelay(). This new fix backs out the current flawed fix and returns to a simple udelay(), fully preemptible and interruptible. It implements two simple alternative udelay() routines: one a default generic version that uses ia64_get_itc(), and the other an sn-specific version that uses that platform's RTC.
