Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but

get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy

it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really

[PATCH] I/O Error attempting to read last partial block of a file in an ISO9660 file system

There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of
large files in an ISO9660 filesystem.  The error was generated when a file
comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact

failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for
multiple-section files.

It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section;
my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial
block and continued doing the check.  But there is a commment in the source
code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache.
Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end

Ernie Petrides [Fri, 29 Sep 2006 09:00:13 +0000 (02:00 -0700)]
[PATCH] fix wrong error code on interrupted close syscalls

The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value.  This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.

I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close().  Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.

But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called.  Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong).  What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.

The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR.  This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page.  The fix is below.

there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not
necessary.  This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are
needed.  Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the
bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who

[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.

Introduce is_init to capture this case.

With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner"
occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig

[PATCH] clean up and remove some extra spinlocks from rtmutex

Oleg brought up some interesting points about grabbing the pi_lock for some
protections.  In this discussion, I realized that there are some places
that the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn't necessary.  Also
this patch does a little bit of clean up.

This patch basically does three things:

1) renames the "boost" variable to "chain_walk".  Since it is used in
   the debugging case when it isn't going to be boosted.  It better
   describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds.

2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock.
   This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read.  The
   owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held.

3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the
   debugging case.  This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the
   check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races.  It's just as
   good to go ahead and call the pi_chain_walk function, since after
   releasing the lock the owner can then block anyway, and we would have
   missed that.  For the debug case, we really do want to do the chain walk
   to test for deadlocks anyway.

[PATCH] fix Intel RNG detection

Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number
generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge
device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code
would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG.  This patch adds
detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG.

There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC
equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care
about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use
the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the
device list needed to be changed).

[PATCH] ignore partition table on disks with AIX label

The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem
layout is not known.  There is a msdos partition signature at the end of
the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping)
partitions.  But they are not usable.  Maybe the firmware uses it to find
the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared.

This is the content of the partition table:
 # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................
0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...
0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000  ....A...........
0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...

Handle the whole disk as empty disk.

This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly
fdisk) with /proc/partitions.  fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long
time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown.

dmesg will look like this:
 sda: [AIX]  unknown partition table
