      [TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2 · 4a29cc2e
      Michael Chan 提交于
      The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
      5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
      behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.
      
      For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
      the 5714.
      
      All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.
      
      Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing
      the patch.

      [AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole. · c7c694d1
      Ralf Baechle DL5RB 提交于
      If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
      (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
      through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
      other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
      
      Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
      AX.25 dialects.
      
      The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
      unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.
      
      Coverity #651.

      [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 II · f9262c12
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
      timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled.  This is
      because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
      ends up processing it twice.
      
      This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
      
      I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
      and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
      to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
      options to enable/disable too)
      
      Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
      
      I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
      tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.
      
      Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

      [PATCH] fix kexec asm · 2ec5e3a8
      Michael Matz 提交于
      While testing kexec and kdump we hit problems where the new kernel would
      freeze or instantly reboot.  The easiest way to trigger it was to kexec a
      kernel compiled for CONFIG_M586 on an athlon cpu.  Compiling for CONFIG_MK7
      instead would work fine.
      
      The patch fixes a few problems with the kexec inline asm.

      [PATCH] fix file counting · 529bf6be
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
      performance difference on kernbench.  Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.
      
      The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
      freeing.  For scalability reasons, file accounting was
      constructor/destructor based.  This meant that nr_files was decremented
      only when the object was removed from the slab cache.  This is susceptible
      to slab fragmentation.  With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
      freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
      with a very fragmented slab -
      
      llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
      587730  0       758844
      
      At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache.  The following
      patch I fixes this problem.
      
      This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
      Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
      accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api.  In the sysctl handler for
      nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
      
      Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
      inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

      [PATCH] rcu batch tuning · 21a1ea9e
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches.  There are
      two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch
      (blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark,
      qlowmark).
      
      By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value.  If the input
      RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent
      state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX.  Setting
      batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot.
       If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems
      anyway.  Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the
      batch limit is set to the default.

      Implement percpu_counter_sum().  This is a more accurate but slower version of
      percpu_counter_read_positive().
      
      We need this for Alex's speedup-ext3_statfs patch and for the nr_file
      accounting fix.  Otherwise these things would be too inaccurate on large CPU
      counts.
