  • 89cee8b1c   [IPV4]: Safer reassembly ... Browse Code »

    Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch
    for 2.6.16.

    (The original patch is here:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
    and my only contribution is to have tested it.)

    This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
    fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
    fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

    Here's a document that describes the process and procedures of how to do Linux
    kernel development. It has gone through a number of rounds of review on the
    linux-kernel mailing list, and contains contributions and help from Paolo
    Ciarrocchi, Randy Dunlap, Gerrit Huizenga, Pat Mochel, Hanna Linder, Kay
    Sievers, Vojtech Pavlik, Jan Kara, Josh Boyer, Kees Cook, Andrew Morton, Andi

  • 9e43e1b7c   [PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_CHECKING and add command line option for pagefault tracing ... Browse Code »

    CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times
    of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time
    and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone.

    This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There
    haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time.

    Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing.
    That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally
    compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically
    only useful at boot.

  • e583538f0   [PATCH] x86_64: Log machine checks from boot on Intel systems ... Browse Code »

    The logging for boot errors was turned off because it was broken
    on some AMD systems. But give Intel EM64T systems a chance because they are
    supposed to be correct there.

    The advantage is that there is a chance to actually log uncorrected
    machine checks after the reset.

  • 420f8f68c   [PATCH] x86_64: New heuristics to find out hotpluggable CPUs. ... Browse Code »

    With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB
    on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG
    always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate
    that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now)

    The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs
    the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would
    lead to this memory wastage.

    This implements some new heuristics:

    - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they
    can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit,
    but seems like a obvious extension)
    - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option
    - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.

  • 9772efb97   [TCP]: Appropriate Byte Count support ... Browse Code »

    This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally
    for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting
    bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control.

    The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style
    algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little
    change after leaving slow start.
