This reverts commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d ("[SCSI]
Get rid of scsi_cmnd->done") that was supposed to be a cleanup commit,
but apparently it causes regressions:Bug 9370 - v2.6.24-rc2-409-g9418d5d: attempt to access beyond end of device
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9370this patch should be reintroduced in a more split-up form to make
testing of it easier.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for
/proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's.This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB
and SLAB, and shares all the setup code. Maybe SLOB will want this some
day too.Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg

[POWERPC] Fix build failure on Cell when CONFIG_SPU_FS=y -
Commit aed3a8c9bb1a8623a618232087c5ff62718e3b9a introduced a
definition of notify_spus_active in .../cell/spu_syscalls.c, and
another definition under #ifndef MODULE in .../cell/spufs/sched.c.
The latter is not necessary and causes the build to fail when
CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, so this removes it. It also removes the export
of do_notify_spus_active, which is unnecessary.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

After 17d57a9206b4de6ad082ac9f2d2346985abbd2aa ("x86: fix x86-32 early
fixmap initialization.") removing lg.ko caused a printk from vunmap:mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027.
On the second use after module load, the kernel crashes.
This fixes the immediate problem (accessed and dirty bits not set as
expected in pmd_none_or_clear_bad). I can't see why this would cause
a crash, but I haven't been able to reproduce it once this is applied.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT
samples available, one for each packet. The first (in order of seq
number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the
second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself
be delayed.According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the
first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in
the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring
delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of
congestion.The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any
available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully
zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to
ca_ops->pkts_acked().Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from
within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which
includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these
checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked().For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is
sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make
them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno,
illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal,
particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can
potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by
looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use)
should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was
triggered by a packet.Signed-off-by: Gavin McCullagh

We're exporting an __init function, oops :-)
The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked
as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from
a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers
need to do.There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will
actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver,
except that init will probably not pick up the console change
without some other support code.Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match()
and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command
line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on
my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is
never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-(The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit
ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is
activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off,
ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name();The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version
is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a
fix.Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

[CRYPTO] padlock: Fix spurious ECB page fault -
It appears that some PCI-E bridges do the wrong thing in the presense of
CRS Software Visibility and MMCONFIG. In particular, it looks like an
ATI bridge (device ID 7936) will return 0001 in the vendor ID field of
any bridged devices indefinitely.Not enabling CRS SV avoids the problem, and as we currently do not
really make good use of the feature anyway (we just time out rather than
do any threaded discovery as suggested by the CRS specs), we're better
off just not enabling it.This should fix a slew of problem reports with random devices (generally
graphics adapters or fairly high-performance networking cards, since it
only affected PCI-E) not getting properly recognized on these AMD systems.If we really want to use CRS-SV, we may end up eventually needing a
whitelist of systems where this should be enabled, along with some kind
of "pcibios_enable_crs()" query to call the system-specific code.Suggested-by: Loic Prylli

that magic numbers were zero terminated strings. The magic numbers
are represented in memory as integers. If the os-area sections are
not initialized correctly they could contained random data that would

magic numbers and make both of type array of u8.Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand

Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a
bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists. If there is
indeed an issue that an arch needs a tlb flush before free then the arch
code needs to set tlb->need_flush before calling quicklist_free.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the
module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the
hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes
it fail.Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4.
Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an
incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a
dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed
through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy
