The patch does its best to set the flags correctly for drivers/ide.  Its
not 100% perfect but its closer than the original.  100% perfect requires

    Actually, there's one more serious issue with piix_tune_drive() -- it

[PATCH] IDE error handling fixes

In 2.6.15.1 I encountered some IDE crashes when unplugging IDE cables to
emulate disk errors.  Below is a patch against 2.6.16 which I think still
applies.

1.  The first BUG_ON could trigger when a PREFLUSH IO fails (it would
   fail the original barrier request which hasn't been marked REQ_STARTED
   yet).

2. the rq could have been dequeued already (same as 1).

[PATCH] sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpus

Force /sbin/init off isolated cpus (unless every CPU is specified as an
isolcpu).

Users seem to think that the isolated CPUs shouldn't have much running on
them to begin with.  That's fair enough: intuitive, I guess.  It also means
that the cpu affinity masks of tasks will not include isolcpus by default,
which is also more intuitive, perhaps.

/sbin/init is spawned from the boot CPU's idle thread, and /sbin/init
starts the rest of userspace. So if the boot CPU is specified to be an
isolcpu, then prior to this patch, all of userspace will be run there.

(throw in a couple of plausible devinit -> cpuinit conversions I spotted
while we're here).

[PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()

Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs.  This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example).  In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.

Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.

It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

18 years ago[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers
David Howells [Tue, 3 Oct 2006 08:13:46 +0000 (01:13 -0700)]
[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers

These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.

Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.

This patch:

Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.

The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.

Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.

Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.

Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.

It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

A process : cma_process_remove() calls cma_remove_id_dev(),

    calls wait_event(dev_remove).

B process : cma_req_handler() had incremented dev_remove,

A Process : cma_remove_id_dev() gets woken and checks the

[PATCH] BLOCK: Revert patch to hack around undeclared sigset_t in linux/compat.h

Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a
declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement
patches build on IA64.  This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should
be fixed in a different manner.

Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of
sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat().

This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and
ppc64 and run-tested on frv.

[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled.  The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them.  It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).

This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem.  The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with

/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid

[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]

It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

I think this is not safe.  get_pid() can be preempted after checking "pid
!= NULL".  Then the task exits, does detach_pid(), and RCU frees the pid.

task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent.  However
task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order

1) release_task(task)
2) release_task(task->parent)
3) a grace period passed

But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive()
can't be true in such a case.

Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.

->signal->tty
protected by tty_mutex

->real_parent
the task can't be unhashed while we are holding
->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us
but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock()

->pgrp/->session

sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this
is acceptable.
