Revert that change. This means that ext4 will be slow again. But correct. Reported-by: NEric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: "David S.

Revert commit 1f7c14c6 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400 percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set() Before this patch we had the following: percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before returning. After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c6. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

This new color expansion acceleration for radeonfb appears to trigger problems with X on VT switch and suspend/resume on some machines. It might be a problem in the VT layer or in X, but I haven't quite found it yet, so in the meantime, this disables the acceleration by default, reverting to 2.6.27 state. It can be enabled using the "accel_cexp" module parameter or fbdev argument. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: NDavid S.

Currently audit=0 on the kernel command line does absolutely nothing. Audit always loads and always uses its resources such as creating the kernel netlink socket. This patch causes audit=0 to actually disable audit. Audit will use no resources and starting the userspace auditd daemon will not cause the kernel audit system to activate.

Since applying the fix suggested by the errata (disabling MSI), we've had issues with interrupts being stuck on despite IIR being 0 on GM965 hardware. Most reporters of the issue have confirmed that turning MSI back on fixes things, and given the difficulties experienced in getting reliable MSI working on Linux, it's believable that the errata was about software issues and not actual hardware issues.

While 44003728 "[PATCH] switch all filesystems over to d_obtain_alias" removed some cases where fh_to_dentry() and fh_to_parent() could return NULL, there are still a few NULL returns left in individual filesystems. Thus it was a mistake for that commit to remove the handling of NULL returns in the callers. Revert those parts of 44003728 which removed the NULL handling. (We could, alternatively, modify all implementations to return -ESTALE instead of NULL, but that proves to require fixing a number of filesystems, and in some cases it's arguably more natural to return NULL.)
