| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (And reset it on new thread creation) It turns out that eflags is important to save and restore not just because of iopl, but due to the magic bits like the NT bit, which we don't want leaking between different threads.

This turns out to be a genuine bug. The queue lock and xmit lock are intentionally taken out of order. Two things are supposed to prevent dead-locks from occuring: 1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the tx_lock. 2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing anything else. > > the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: > > -> #1 (&dev->_xmit_lock){-+..}: > [<c012e7b6>] lock_acquire+0x76/0xa0 > [<c0336241>] _spin_lock_bh+0x31/0x40 > [<c02d25a9>] dev_activate+0x69/0x120 This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA dead-locks. I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up. The lock appeared in day one and even there it was unnecessary. In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up precisely in order to get around the tx lock there. The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since its only caller dev_activate is always called under it. So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up. In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and replace it with dev_watchdog_up. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

We figured out that the readq function we included in the eHEA patch we sent yesterday to access eHEA registers is defined as little endian on POWER. This collides with our adapter. We talked to some PPC people who told us there is a discussion going on about new access functions. We were told to use __raw_readq / __raw_writeq for now. This patch fixes this bug found by our internal tests today. Please apply this small patch on the latest patch we sent you yesterday.

| | * | [PATCH] JFFS2: SUMMARY: fix a summary collecting bugZoltan Sogor2006-09-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some special case (padding because of sync or umount) it can be possible that summary information is not fit to the end of the erase block. In these cases the collecting of summary is disabled for this erase block. The problem was that this was not respected by jffs2_sum_add_kvec(). This patch fix this bug.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case of data-pad-ecc-pad-data... layout the oob start position has to be sizeof(data) in nand_write_oob_syndrom(). In nand_fill_oob() we need to copy to buf + buffer offset instead of buf + write offset.

Problem is with marking the buffer boundary so IO can be submitted right away. Here is the patch to fix it. 2.6.18-rc6: ----------- # ./iotest 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out 4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 75.2726 seconds, 57.1 MB/s real 1m15.285s user 0m0.276s sys 0m3.884s 2.6.18-rc6 + fix: ----------------- [root@elm3a241 ~]# ./iotest 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out 4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 62.9356 seconds, 68.2 MB/s The boundary block check in ext3_get_blocks_handle needs to be adjusted against the count of blocks mapped in this call, now that it can map more than one block.

| | * | [PATCH] bug fix in kernel/kmod.cKenneth Lee2006-09-161-2/+3

Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get problem for most of the case. But if you remove /sbin/modprobe, it may become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

| | * | [PATCH] headers_check: use a different default directoryDavid Woodhouse2006-09-161-3/+3

In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases. It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with symlinking to it. It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case. I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference for that; it just seemed reasonable.
