With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8. When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device, since
'unformatted' is a final state. The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls
dasd_enable_device() which never returns if the device is in this special
state. Return -EPERM in dasd_increase_state for unformatted devices to make
dasd_enable_device terminate. Note: To get such an unformatted device online
it has to be re-analyzed. This means that the device needs to be disabled
prior to re-enablement.Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel

Avoid memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL in qdio_establish/qdio_shutdown. Use
memory pool instead. (Otherwise this can lead to an I/O stall where qdio
waits for a free page and zfcp waits for end of error recovery in low memory

If a signal handler has been established with the SA_ONSTACK option but no
alternate stack is provided with sigaltstack(), the kernel still tries to
install the alternate stack. Also when setting an alternate stack with
sigalstack() and the SS_DISABLE flag, the kernel tries to install the
alternate stack on signal delivery. Use the correct conditions sas_ss_flags()
to check if the alternate stack has to be used.Signed-off-by: Laurent Meyer

Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard
splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long
"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java... sort of" email thread.So we need to make this option harder to set. Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this.
CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else
obvious and avoiding these problems is more important than Kconfig purity.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.
- First we introduced no_broadcast option
(see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8
CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
above ARCH wasnt selected.So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj

If compiled into the kernel, parport_register_driver() is called before the
parport driver has been initalised.This means that it is expected that tp_count is 0 after the
parport_register_driver() call() - tipar's attach function will not be
called until later during bootup.Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake

In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to
capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation.
This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback
cannot be done.
(A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make
kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping)Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure
associated with the first page of the allocation. The page structures
associated with the other pages are unintialized.If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify
any but the first page of the allocation.The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page.

MPI programs using certain debug options have a long
startup time. This was traced to a "vmalloc/vfree" in
the code that reads /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology. On large
systems, vfree requires an IPI to all cpus to do TLB
purging.Replace the vmalloc/vfree with kmalloc/kfree. Although
the size of the structure being allocated is unknown, it
will not not exceed 96 bytes.Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner

Proposed fix for ptep_get_and_clear_full PAE bug. Pte_clear had the same bug,
so use the same fix for both. Turns out pmd_clear had it as well, but pgds
are not affected.The problem is rather intricate. Page table entries in PAE mode are 64-bits
wide, but the only atomic 8-byte write operation available in 32-bit mode is
cmpxchg8b, which is expensive (at least on P4), and thus avoided. But it can
happen that the processor may prefetch entries into the TLB in the middle of an
operation which clears a page table entry. So one must always clear the P-bit
in the low word of the page table entry first when clearing it.Since the sequence *ptep = __pte(0) leaves the order of the write dependent on
the compiler, it must be coded explicitly as a clear of the low word followed
by a clear of the high word. Further, there must be a write memory barrier
here to enforce proper ordering by the compiler (and, in the future, by the
processor as well).On > 4GB memory machines, the implementation of pte_clear for PAE was clearly
deficient, as it could leave virtual mappings of physical memory above 4GB
aliased to memory below 4GB in the TLB. The implementation of
ptep_get_and_clear_full has a similar bug, although not nearly as likely to
occur, since the mappings being cleared are in the process of being destroyed,
and should never be dereferenced again.But, as luck would have it, it is possible to trigger bugs even without ever
dereferencing these bogus TLB mappings, even if the clear is followed fairly
soon after with a TLB flush or invalidation. The problem is that memory above
4GB may now be aliased into the first 4GB of memory, and in fact, may hit a
region of memory with non-memory semantics. These regions include AGP and PCI
space. As such, these memory regions are not cached by the processor. This
introduces the bug.The processor can speculate memory operations, including memory writes, as long
as they are committed with the proper ordering. Speculating a memory write to
a linear address that has a bogus TLB mapping is possible. Normally, the
speculation is harmless. But for cached memory, it does leave the falsely
speculated cacheline unmodified, but in a dirty state. This cache line will be
eventually written back. If this cacheline happens to intersect a region of
memory that is not protected by the cache coherency protocol, it can corrupt
data in I/O memory, which is generally a very bad thing to do, and can cause
total system failure or just plain undefined behavior.These bugs are extremely unlikely, but the severity is of such magnitude, and
the fix so simple that I think fixing them immediately is justified. Also,
they are nearly impossible to debug.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden
