2008-08-07tracehook: fix CLONE_PTRACERoland McGrath
In the change in commit 09a05394fe2448a4139b014936330af23fa7ec83, I overlooked two nits in the logic and this broke using CLONE_PTRACE when PTRACE_O_TRACE* are not being used. A parent that is itself traced at all but not using PTRACE_O_TRACE*, using CLONE_PTRACE would have its new child fail to be traced. A parent that is not itself traced at all that uses CLONE_PTRACE (which should be a no-op in this case) would confuse the bookkeeping and lead to a crash at exit time. This restores the missing checks and fixes both failure modes. Reported-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

2008-08-06tcp: Fix kernel panic when calling tcp_v(4/6)_md5_do_lookupGui Jianfeng
If the following packet flow happen, kernel will panic. MathineA MathineB SYN ----------------------> SYN+ACK <---------------------- ACK(bad seq) ----------------------> When a bad seq ACK is received, tcp_v4_md5_do_lookup(skb->sk, ip_hdr(skb)->daddr)) is finally called by tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(), but the first parameter(skb->sk) is NULL at that moment, so kernel panic happens. This patch fixes this bug.

2008-08-05Re-introduce "[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectors"Linus Torvalds
This re-introduces commit 2b142900784c6e38c8d39fa57d5f95ef08e735d8, which was reverted due to the regression it caused by commit fca082c9f1e11ec07efa8d2f9f13688521253f36. That regression was not root-caused by the original commit, it was just uncovered by it, and the real fix was done by Alan Stern in commit 580da34847488b404218d1d7f53b156f245f5555 ("Fix USB storage hang on command abort"). We can thus re-introduce the change that was confirmed by Alan Jenkins to be still required by his odd card reader.

2008-08-05radeon: misc correctionsDavid Miller
I have a new PCI-E radeon RV380 series card (PCI device ID 5b64) that hangs in my sparc64 boxes when the init scripts set the font. The problem goes away if I disable acceleration. I haven't figured out that bug yet, but along the way I found some corrections to make based upon some auditing. 1) The RB2D_DC_FLUSH_ALL value used by the kernel fb driver and the XORG video driver differ. I've made the kernel match what XORG is using. 2) In radeonfb_engine_reset() we have top-level code structure that roughly looks like: if (family is 300, 350, or V350) do this; else do that; ... if (family is NOT 300, OR family is NOT 350, OR family is NOT V350) do another thing; this last conditional makes no sense, is always true, and obviously was likely meant to be "family is NOT 300, 350, or V350". So I've made the code match the intent. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-08-05ipv4: remove unused field in struct flowi (include/net/flow.h).Rami Rosen
This patch removes an unused field (flags) from struct flowi; it seems that this "flags" field was used once in the past for multipath routing with FLOWI_FLAG_MULTIPATHOLDROUTE flag (which does no longer exist); however, the "flags" field of struct flowi is not used anymore.

2008-08-05SLUB: dynamic per-cache MIN_PARTIALPekka Enberg
This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more pages we keep on the partial list. I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al. To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository: git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git and then run the following command n times on your machine: time ./fio examples/netio The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows: [ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ] real time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17 SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72 SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20 sys time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28 SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28 SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29 user time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29 SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67 SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32 As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close to the size of a page.

2008-08-04net: Kill plain NET_XMIT_BYPASS.David S. Miller
dst_input() was doing something completely absurd, looping on skb->dst->input() if NET_XMIT_BYPASS was seen, but these functions never return such an error. And as a result plain ole' NET_XMIT_BYPASS has no more references and can be completely killed off. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-08-04net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_BYPASS flagJarek Poplawski
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed that it would be nice to handle NET_XMIT_BYPASS by NET_XMIT_SUCCESS with an internal qdisc flag __NET_XMIT_BYPASS and to remove the mapping from dev_queue_xmit(). David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> spotted a serious bug in the first version of this patch. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-08-04net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flagJarek Poplawski
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed: "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs' qlen counters." and later explained: "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though. This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN, return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS." David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed: "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific attributes. So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT" The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller, such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way." This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

2008-08-04mm: rename page trylockNick Piggin
Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer (!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked). This also facilitates lockdeping of page lock.
