| * [PATCH] x86: Fix boot hang due to nmi watchdog init codeRavikiran G Thirumalai2006-12-092-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64 systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang. Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable) and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog. I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

* | | [PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg()David Howells2006-12-091-12/+9
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary. The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of which can actually occur: (1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data(). Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue is for it to be actually run. If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its timer started. (2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases: (a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock. (b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can access it (the pending bit protects us). Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so it can be assigned instead. So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay in most cases. The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_ test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was set. If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required - equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

| * | [NETPOLL]: make arp replies through netpoll use mac address of senderNeil Horman2006-12-081-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src mac of the request sender. In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be responded to using the mac address of the other). This patch reverts the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent back using the src address of the request sender.

| * | [AX.25]: Fix default address and broadcast address initialization.Ralf Baechle2006-12-0810-71/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only the callsign but not the SSID part of an AX.25 address is ASCII based but Linux by initializes the SSID which should be just a 4-bit number from ASCII anyway. Fix that and convert the code to use a shared constant for both default addresses. While at it, use the same style for null_ax25_address also.
