2005-06-28[PATCH] irqpollAlan Cox
Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically). A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it doesn't help.

2005-06-28[PATCH] ext3: reduce allocate-with-reservation lock latenciesMingming Cao
Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap to verify if the avalible window has a free block. Holding the lock during bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and latency issues. This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the bitmap. Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone else is targetting at the same window. Question was should we reserve the whole free reservable space or just the window size we need. Reserve the whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause bad layout). In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop the lock and scan the block bitmap. This patch fixed a ext3 reservation latency issue seen on a cvs check out test. Patch is tested with many fsx, tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test.

2005-06-28[PATCH] blk: light iocontext opsNick Piggin
get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io context creations. Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can only be created while in process context of the current process. Also, split the function in 2. A light version, current_io_context does not elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process context, because the process holds a reference itself.

2005-06-28[PATCH] blk: __make_request efficiencyNick Piggin
In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request. Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it. Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking. Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency.

This is wrong, the timer may still be running, and it can rearm itself. 2. It calls del_timer_sync() with tsk->sighand->siglock held. This is deadlockable, because timer's handler needs this lock too.

2005-06-28[NETFILTER]: Fix connection tracking bug in 2.6.12Patrick McHardy
In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge, because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions could already have sent the packet anywhere.

2005-06-28[IPVS]: Close race conditions on ip_vs_conn_tab list modificationNeil Horman
In an smp system, it is possible for an connection timer to expire, calling ip_vs_conn_expire while the connection table is being flushed, before ct_write_lock_bh is acquired. Since the list iterator loop in ip_vs_con_flush releases and re-acquires the spinlock (even though it doesn't re-enable softirqs), it is possible for the expiration function to modify the connection list, while it is being traversed in ip_vs_conn_flush. The result is that the next pointer gets set to NULL, and subsequently dereferenced, resulting in an oops.

2005-06-28[NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.David S. Miller
Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily. In these situations, the code roughly looks like: dev = dev_alloc_skb(...); [optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...); ... skb->tail ... But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything other than skb->data in these cases. Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed to do instead. Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups, skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers. Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-06-28[PATCH] Tweak idle thread setup semanticsIngo Molnar
This patch tweaks idle thread setup semantics a bit: instead of setting NEED_RESCHED in init_idle(), we do an explicit schedule() before calling into cpu_idle(). This patch, while having no negative side-effects, enables wider use of cond_resched()s. (which might happen in the stock kernel too, but it's particulary important for voluntary-preempt) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
