number is equal or greater then the last sysfs_dirent we attempted
to return.

Removing the sysfs directory cursor also allows the remove of

17 years ago[POWERPC] Add legacy serial support for OPB with flattened device tree
Valentine Barshak [Thu, 11 Oct 2007 19:09:25 +0000 (05:09 +1000)]
[POWERPC] Add legacy serial support for OPB with flattened device tree

Currently find_legacy_serial_ports() can find no serial ports on the
OPB with flattened device tree.  Thus no legacy boot console can be
initialized.  Just the early udbg console works, which is initialized
with udbg_init_44x_as1 on the UART's physical address specified in
kernel config.  This happens because we look for ns16750 serial
devices only and expect opb node to have a device type property.  This
patch makes it look for ns16550-compatible devices and use
of_device_is_compatible() for opb in case device type is not
specified.

17 years ago[POWERPC] Use 1TB segments
Paul Mackerras [Thu, 11 Oct 2007 10:37:10 +0000 (20:37 +1000)]
[POWERPC] Use 1TB segments

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.

We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

17 years ago[NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers.

[NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers.

In order for the list handling in net_rx_action() to be
correct, drivers must follow certain rules as stated by
this comment in net_rx_action():

/* Drivers must not modify the NAPI state if they
 * consume the entire weight.  In such cases this code
 * still "owns" the NAPI instance and therefore can
 * move the instance around on the list at-will.
 */

A few drivers do not do this because they mix the budget checks
with reading hardware state, resulting in crashes like the one
reported by takano@axe-inc.co.jp.

BNX2 and TG3 are taken care of here, SKY2 fix is from Stephen
Hemminger.

17 years ago[TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems
Ilpo Järvinen [Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:35:41 +0000 (17:35 -0700)]
[TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems

Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when
fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including
(very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in.
This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed
a need to always walk over the whole write queue head.
Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must
be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was
necessary before.

It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop
very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of
discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is
implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and
more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking
in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted
skbs heve been processed approach.

Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not
sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do
cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that
from this patch.

Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO
Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to
that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it
(though this patch has to use somewhat different placement).
TAKANO's description and patch is available here:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2

...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using
not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the
current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later
by the loop.

[TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO too

I was reading tcp_enter_loss while looking for Cedric's bug and
noticed bytes_acked adjustment is missing from FRTO side.

Since bytes_acked will only be used in tcp_cong_avoid, I think
it's safe to assume RTO would be spurious. During FRTO cwnd
will be not controlled by tcp_cong_avoid and if FRTO calls for
conventional recovery, cwnd is adjusted and the result of wrong
assumption is cleared from bytes_acked. If RTO was in fact
spurious, we did normal ABC already and can continue without
any additional adjustments.
