I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose reverting it. The attached should eliminate the voyager topology functions in favour of the generic ones. I also added a define to ensure voyager is never hotplug CPU (we don't have the support in the SMP harness).

| ab9b32e | Andi Kleen | 26 February 2006, 03:18:52 UTC | [PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fix The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all. I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other things but they didn't really work well neither. I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC. I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on. According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64). But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change: - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254 and IO-APIC setup everywhere - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254 - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia) In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

This means it would often discover a 0 year and then turn off ACPI because it thought the BIOS was too old. Some systems don't boot without ACPI so this was a problem. I have a full fix by adding new very early DMI detection, but it needs more testing before it can be merged. For 2.6.16 let's just turn the check off. It never made much sense anyways because there are no x86-64 systems older than 2002 or so and they generally all have working ACPI.

The name. Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does. Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application might want this behavior. We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior. For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new behavior could be invoked. I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this.

When the pages are allocated it is not clear which of the out of place pages will be moved to the new pages. So we cannot specify an address as needed by alloc_page_vma(). This causes problem for MPOL_INTERLEAVE which will currently allocate the pages on the first node of the set. If mbind is used with vma that has the policy of MPOL_INTERLEAVE then the interleaving of pages may be destroyed. This patch fixes that by generating a fake address for each alloc_page_vma which will result is a distribution of pages as prescribed by MPOL_INTERLEAVE. Lee also noted that the sequence of nodes for the new pages seems to be inverted. So we also invert the way the lists of pages for migration are build.

| d152126 | Samuel Thibault | 24 February 2006, 21:03:59 UTC | [PATCH] vgacon: no vertical resizing on EGA EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers. This is particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say) would potentially break a lot of configurations. Instead, just disabling vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still works).

If tty_buffer_request_room() gets called prior to that thread running -- which is likely in this loop in hvc_poll(), it would set the active flag in the tty buffer and consequently flush_to_ldisc() would ignore it. The result is that input on the hvc console is not processed. This fix calls tty_flip_buffer_push (and flags the tty as "low_latency"). The push to the ldisc thus happens synchronously.

| f8d0e3f | Jamal Hadi Salim | 24 February 2006, 00:18:01 UTC | [NET] ethernet: Fix first packet goes out with MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00 When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved (I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from), it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP. Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may be why people have ignored reporting this issue). To cut the story short: the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header() ---- /* * Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this function... */ if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK|IFF_NOARP)) { memset(eth->h_dest, 0, dev->addr_len); return ETH_HLEN; } if(daddr) { memcpy(eth->h_dest,daddr,dev->addr_len); return ETH_HLEN; } ---- Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP. As a note: All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes a 0 all the time ;-> This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP Alexey says: -------------------- I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember why it was made. I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour level. After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet socket. I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr). And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later. -------------------- Patch updated with Alexey's safer suggestions.

| 42cf93c | Patrick McHardy | 21 February 2006, 21:37:35 UTC | [NETFILTER]: Fix bridge netfilter related in xfrm_lookup The bridge-netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with dst->ops == NULL to purely bridged packets. When these packets are SNATed and a policy lookup is done, xfrm_lookup crashes because it tries to dereference dst->ops. Change xfrm_lookup not to dereference dst->ops before checking for the DST_NOXFRM flag and set this flag in the fake dst_entry.

Update it to become effective again. Testing one of the two known affected bridges has shown that skip_ms_page_8 is required as well. Also, make force_inquiry_hack tunable via /sys/module/sbp2/parameters.

| 35bdddb | Stefan Richter | 31 January 2006, 05:13:33 UTC | sbp2: variable status FIFO address (fix login timeout) Let the ieee1394 core select a suitable 1394 address range for sbp2's status FIFO instead of using a fixed range. Since the core only selects addresses which are guaranteed to be out of the "physical range" as per OHCI 1.1, this patch also fixes an old bug: OHCI controllers which implement a writeable PhysicalUpperBound register included sbp2's status FIFO in the physical range. That way sbp2 was never notified of a succesful login and always failed after timeout. Affected OHCI host adapters include ALi and Fujitsu controllers. As another side effect of this patch, the status FIFO is no longer located in a range for which OHCI chips perform "posted writes". Each status write now requires a response subaction. But since large data transfers involve only few status writes, there is no measurable decrease of I/O throughput. What's more, the status FIFO is now safe from potential host bus errors. Nevertheless, posted writes could be re-enabled by extensions to the ARM features of the 1394 stack.
