The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it
directly used userspace pointers, it assumed that strings were NULL
terminated, and it used the evil sscanf function. This converts over to
using the sysctl interface for this data and changes the semantics to be a
little more logical.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

This patch allows Dell servers with IPMI controllers that predate IPMI 1.5
to use the standard poweroff or powercycle commands. These systems
firmware don't set the chassis capability bit in the Get Device ID, but
they do implement the standard poweroff and powercycle commands.Tested on RHEL3 kernel 2.4.21-20.ELsmp on a PowerEdge 2600. The standard
ipmi_poweroff driver cannot drive these systems. With this patch, they
power off or powercycle as expected.Signed-off-by: Matt Domsch

The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic
situations to handle messages. It was only designed to work with messages
from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get
messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then
panic. This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more
general so it works with any kind of message.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

This adds MODULE_VERSION, MODULE_DESCRIPTION, and MODULE_AUTHOR tags to the
IPMI driver modules. Also changes the MODULE_VERSION to remove the
prepended 'v' on each value, consistent with the module versioning policy.This patch also removes all the version information from everything except
the ipmi_msghandler module.Signed-off-by: Matt Domsch

The ipmi driver does not have a way to handle firmware-generated events
which have the OEM[012] Data Available flags set. In such a case, the
SMS_ATN bit may never get cleared by firmware, leaving the driver looping
infinitely but never able to make any progress.This patch first simplifies storage and use of the data returned from an
IPMI Get Device ID command.It then creates a new per-OEM handler hook, which should know how to handle
events with the OEM[012] Data Available flags set. It then uses this to
implement a workaround for IPMI 1.5-capable Dell PowerEdge servers which
are susceptable to setting the OEM[012] Data Available flags when the
driver can't handle it.Signed-off-by: Matt Domsch

IPMI allows multiple IPMB channels on a single interface, and each channel
might have a different IPMB address. However, the driver has only one IPMB
address that it uses for everything. This patch adds new IOCTLS and a new
internal interface for setting per-channel IPMB addresses and LUNs. New
systems are coming out with support for multiple IPMB channels, and they are
broken without this patch.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

Background:
1) dmi_check_system() returns the count of the number of
matches. Zero thus means no matches.
2) A match callback can return nonzero to stop the match
checking.Bug: The count is incremented after we check for the nonzero return value,
so it does not reflect the actual count. We could say this is intended,
for some dumb reason, except that it means that a match on the first check
returns zero--no matches--if the callback returns nonzero.Attached patch implements the count before calling the callback and thus
before potentially short-circuiting.Signed-off-by: Robert Love

cifs_create() did totally the wrong thing with nd->intent.open.flags:
it interpreted nd->intent.open.flags as the original open flags, not
the one transformed for open_namei(). Also it used the intent data

dentry cache uses sophisticated RCU technology (and prefetching if
available) but touches 2 cache lines per dentry during hlist lookup.This patch moves d_hash in the same cache line than d_parent and d_name
fields so that :1) One cache line is needed instead of two.
2) the hlist_for_each_rcu() prefetching has a chance to bring all the
needed data in advance, not only the part that includes d_hash.next.I also changed one old comment that was wrong for 64bits.
A further optimisation would be to separate dentry in two parts, one that
is mostly read, and one writen (d_count/d_lock) to avoid false sharing on
SMP/NUMA but this would need different field placement depending on 32bits
or 64bits platform.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Now the real motivation for this cpuset mem_exclusive patch series seems
trivial.This patch keeps a task in or under one mem_exclusive cpuset from provoking an
oom kill of a task under a non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset. Since only
interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations are allowed to escape mem_exclusive
containment, there is little to gain from oom killing a task under a
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, as almost all kernel and user memory
allocation must come from disjoint memory nodes.This patch enables configuring a system so that a runaway job under one
mem_exclusive cpuset cannot cause the killing of a job in another such cpuset
that might be using very high compute and memory resources for a prolonged
time.Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson
