One open question: Should these added pushes perhaps be made
conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND or CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO?

The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

This problem was introduced by changeset
14778d9072e53d2171f66ffd9657daff41acfaedUnlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to
propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we
make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range().It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage
mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add
considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step
the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by
io_remap_pfn_range().The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of
io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that.Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and
testing debug patches.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it
doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the
addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new
address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet.One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when
creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the
assignment.Acked-by: jbeulich@novell.com

When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC2465:
ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of input datagrams discarded because
the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination
field was not a valid address to be received at
this entity. This count includes invalid
addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses
(e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes). For
entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore
do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
datagrams discarded because the destination address
was not a local address."
::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 }When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid
address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just
discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function
ip6_pkt_discard).Signed-off-by: Lv Liangying

Several people run into the situation where the E100
EEPROM contents are fine, but the checksum hasn't been

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
On armv4t systems, we have always compiled the kernel with -march=armv4
instead of -march=armv4t, which means that any use of bx will bomb out.Commit ba9b5d76372dc290b6ca04dad93927a22c2ac49a introduced the use of
bx in the kernel, which means we need to compile with -march=armv4t on
armv4t systems now.Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek

Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes. Specifically
it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This is because certain drivers
don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful
safeguard anyway.Signed-off-by: Alan Cox

CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page
boundary causing IO problems.https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127

its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.[akpm@osdl.org: cleanups]

Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make
this top cpus file read-only.On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson

If we
- shut down a clean array,
- restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
- make some changes
- pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown
