Christoph Lameter [Fri, 24 Feb 2006 21:04:12 +0000 (13:04 -0800)] 
[PATCH] page migration: Fix MPOL_INTERLEAVE behavior for migration via mbind()

migrate_pages_to() allocates a list of new pages on the intended target
node or with the intended policy and then uses the list of new pages as
targets for the migration of a list of pages out of place.

When the pages are allocated it is not clear which of the out of place
pages will be moved to the new pages.  So we cannot specify an address as
needed by alloc_page_vma().  This causes problem for MPOL_INTERLEAVE which
will currently allocate the pages on the first node of the set.  If mbind
is used with vma that has the policy of MPOL_INTERLEAVE then the
interleaving of pages may be destroyed.

This patch fixes that by generating a fake address for each alloc_page_vma
which will result is a distribution of pages as prescribed by
MPOL_INTERLEAVE.

Lee also noted that the sequence of nodes for the new pages seems to be
inverted.  So we also invert the way the lists of pages for migration are
build.

[PATCH] vgacon: no vertical resizing on EGA

EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers.  This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations.  Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).

[PATCH] powerpc: Only calculate htab_size in one place for kexec

For kexec we need to know the size of the MMU hash table.

Currently we calculate the size once in the htab code, and then twice more in
the kexec code, once using htab_hash_mask and once using ppc64_pft_size.

ppc64_pft_size is not set.

So we need to fix the second calculation, but better still we should just
calculate the size once and use it everywhere else.

Jamal Hadi Salim [Fri, 24 Feb 2006 00:18:01 +0000 (16:18 -0800)] 
[NET] ethernet: Fix first packet goes out with MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00

When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes
out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is
used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved
(I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from),
it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP.

Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may
be why people have ignored reporting this issue).

To cut the story short:

the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header()

----
        /*
         *      Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this
function...
         */

        if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK|IFF_NOARP))
        {
                memset(eth->h_dest, 0, dev->addr_len);
                return ETH_HLEN;
        }

if(daddr)
        {
                memcpy(eth->h_dest,daddr,dev->addr_len);
                return ETH_HLEN;
        }

----

Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP.

As a note:
All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes
a 0 all the time ;->
This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP

Alexey says:
--------------------
I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember
why it was made.

I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve
addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of
blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour
level.

After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change
behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet
socket.

I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr).
And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later.

sbp2: variable status FIFO address (fix login timeout)

Let the ieee1394 core select a suitable 1394 address range for sbp2's
status FIFO instead of using a fixed range. Since the core only selects
addresses which are guaranteed to be out of the "physical range" as per
OHCI 1.1, this patch also fixes an old bug:

OHCI controllers which implement a writeable PhysicalUpperBound register
included sbp2's status FIFO in the physical range. That way sbp2 was
never notified of a succesful login and always failed after timeout.
Affected OHCI host adapters include ALi and Fujitsu controllers.

As another side effect of this patch, the status FIFO is no longer
located in a range for which OHCI chips perform "posted writes". Each
status write now requires a response subaction. But since large data
transfers involve only few status writes, there is no measurable
decrease of I/O throughput. What's more, the status FIFO is now safe
from potential host bus errors. Nevertheless, posted writes could be
re-enabled by extensions to the ARM features of the 1394 stack.

And it was broken: a nodelist is a comma-separated list of numbers and

Whoops, blindly strsep'ing on commas doesn't work so well: since we've
no numeric tokens, and unlikely to add them, use that to distinguish.

all its options as invalid if not NUMA.  /proc shows MPOL_PREFERRED
as "prefer", so use that name for the policy instead of "preferred".

Enforce that mpol=default has no nodelist; that mpol=prefer has one

node_online_map if no nodelist given.  Describe this in tmpfs.txt.

[PATCH] m32r: update sys_tas() routine

This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r.

In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas()
routine in SMP environment.

> > The problem is that touching *addr will generate an oops if that page isn't

I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary.  So, the
"unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
instruction execution without any interruptions.

In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
get_user().

And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
operations in a spin-locked critical section.

Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.

Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.
