  • As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
    the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.

    Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
    from bi_size. So don't do that either.

    While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

  • The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
    is end_that_request_first. Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
    interested in bi_size being decremented.

    So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
    with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
    specific to request completion.

    As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
    now, but that will go in the next patch.

  • Currently bi_end_io can be called multiple times as sub-requests
    complete. However no ->bi_end_io function wants to know about that.
    So only call when the bio is complete.

  • The entire function of flush_dry_bio_endio is to undo the effects
    of bio_endio (when called on a barrier request). So remove the
    function and the call to bio_endio.

    This allows us to remove "bi_size" from "struct request_queue".

  • blk_rq_bio_prep is exported for use in exactly

    the new blk_rq_append_bio instead.
    So
    - change dm-emc to call blk_rq_append_bio
    - stop exporting blk_rq_bio_prep, and
    - initialise rq_disk in blk_rq_bio_prep,

  • umem.c:
    advances bi_idx and bi_sector to track where it is up to.
    But it is only ever doing this on one bio, so the updated
    fields can easily be kept elsewhere (current_*).
    updates bi_size, but never uses the updated values, so
    this isn't needed.
    reuses bi_phys_segments to count how many iovecs have been
    completely. As the completion happens sequentiually, we
    can store this information outside the bio too.

  • blk_recalc_rq_segments calls blk_recount_segments on each bio,
    then does some extra calculations to handle segments that overlap
    two bios.

    If we merge the code from blk_recount_segments into
    blk_recalc_rq_segments, we can process the whole request one bio_vec
    at a time, and not need the messy cross-bio calculations.

    Then blk_recount_segments can be implemented by calling
    blk_recalc_rq_segments, passing it a simple on-stack request which
    stores just the bio.

  • This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO
    pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.

    This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which
    started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were
    working anyway for most people got forgotten.

    [Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch
    only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.]

  • When building a custom keymap, after setting GENERATE_KEYMAP := 1 in
    drivers/char/Makefile, the kernel build fails like this:

    CC drivers/char/vt.o
    make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'. Stop.
    make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
    make: *** [drivers] Error 2

    This was caused by commit af8b128719f5248e542036ea994610a29d0642a6, which
    deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
    since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern. The following
    patch puts the colon back:

  • All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
    results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
    page is already found dirty.

    This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
    balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm).

    Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

  • When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
    redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in
    ndisc_redirect_rcv():

    if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
    on_link = 1;
    } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
    ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
    "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not
    link-local.\n");
    return;
    }

    This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
    FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
    if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
    8.1:

    - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
    redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
    Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).

    I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
    implied.

    This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
    certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
    suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
    multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
    we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.

    The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
    to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
    field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
    passes all 245 tests now.

  • When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
    therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
    corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
    non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
    that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
    fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
    eventually anyway.

    In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
    the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
    fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
    thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

  • Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As
    it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
    Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
    if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to
    move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.

    Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
    kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
    short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
    in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
    load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

  • VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0

    frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to

    Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
    It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
    be enabled for this processor/system.

    Same for Longhaul ver. 2 support. It will be disabled if none of above
    options will work.
