* [PATCH] aoa: i2sbus: fix for PowerMac7,2 and 7,3Benjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-102-21/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up the resource handling in i2sbus and adds workarounds for the broken device trees on the PowerMac7,2 and 7,3. Some of this code will later move again when macio_asic is going to export all the sub-nodes too.

* [PATCH] adjust clock for lost ticksRoman Zippel2006-07-101-38/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A large number of lost ticks can cause an overadjustment of the clock. To compensate for this we look at the current error and the larger the error already is the more careful we are at adjusting the error. As small extra fix reset the error when the clock is set.

* [PATCH] ZVC: add __inc_zone_state for !SMP configurationChristoph Lameter2006-07-101-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that there is a way to build a kernel with NUMA and no SMP. In that case we are missing one definition __inc_zone_state.

* [PATCH] md: fix a plug/unplug race in raid5NeilBrown2006-07-101-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on whether a bitmap is in use) queues to the main request queue. So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure the raid5 array is 'plugged'. However we don't. We currently plug the raid5 queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race. If something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on the queue and nothing will want to unplug them. Normally something else will plug and unplug the queue fairly soon, but there is a risk that nothing will.

* [PATCH] md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncsNeilBrown2006-07-103-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync. However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current 'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors, not just io sectors. So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

* [PATCH] md: delay starting md threads until array is completely setupNeilBrown2006-07-102-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if there is a reshape or recovery that needs to be completed). We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in particular before queue->queuedata is set. If the thread actually starts very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata and oops. This patch also makes sure we don't try to start a recovery if a reshape is being restarted. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] md: possible fix for unplug problemNeilBrown2006-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have reports of a problem with raid5 which turns out to be because the raid5 device gets stuck in a 'plugged' state. This shouldn't be able to happen as 3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged. However it happens none-the-less. This patch fixes the problem and is a reasonable thing to do, though it might hurt performance slightly in some cases. Until I can find the real problem, we should probably have this workaround in place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be included by tty.h.

Note that this patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it. If there is a mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

* [PATCH] partitions: let partitions inherit policy from diskPeter Oberparleiter2006-07-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device (see patch below). My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions. When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field. This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be 'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g. the s390 DASD driver because partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

* [PATCH] reiserfs: fix journaling issue regarding fsync()Hisashi Hifumi2006-07-101-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When write() extends a file(i_size is increased) and fsync() is called, change of inode must be written to journaling area through fsync(). But,currently the i_trans_id is not correctly updated when i_size is increased. So fsync() does not kick the journal writer. Reiserfs_file_write() already updates the transaction when blocks are allocated, but the case when i_size increases and new blocks are not added is not correctly treated. Following patch fix this bug.

* [PATCH] SELinux: add rootcontext= option to label root inode when mountingEric Paris2006-07-101-9/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new rootcontext= option to FS mounting. This option will allow you to explicitly label the root inode of an FS being mounted before that FS or inode because visible to userspace. This was found to be useful for things like stateless linux, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190001 Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@parisplace.org> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] SELinux: decouple fscontext/context mount optionsEric Paris2006-07-102-16/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the conflict between fscontext and context mount options. If context= is specified without fscontext it will operate just as before, if both are specified we will use mount point labeling and all inodes will get the label specified by context=. The superblock will be labeled with the label of fscontext=, thus affecting operations which check the superblock security context, such as associate permissions.

* [PATCH] sched: fix bug in __migrate_task()Peter Williams2006-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to another. This has two undesirable effects: 1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.) 2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time. At the very least, this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of the time at which the task was woken. In addition, unless dest_rq is the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate due to inter CPU drift. Solution: Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().
