[PATCH] Keys: Fix key management syscall interface bugs

[PATCH] Remove suspend() calls from shutdown path

This removes the calls to device_suspend() from the shutdown path that

a number of configs (I got reports from both ppc powerbook users and x86
users) causing the system to not shutdown anymore.

I think it isn't the right approach at the moment anyway.  We have
already a shutdown() callback for the drivers that actually care about
shutdown and the suspend() code isn't yet in a good enough shape to be
so much generalized.  Also, the semantics of suspend and shutdown are
slightly different on a number of setups and the way this was patched in
provides little way for drivers to cleanly differenciate.  It should
have been at least a different message.

On PXA255 there is no way to disable the watchdog. Turning off OIER[E3]

believes that the SA1100 is the same as the PXA255 in this respect.

You also asked me to involve the watchdog maintainer which I tried to
do but didn't hear anything back. There are only a couple of other
drivers which can't stop the watchdog and there seems to be no
consistancy regarding printing an error etc. I decided to print
something since that matches the case for all the other drivers when
NOWAYOUT is turned on.

Also, I changed the device .name to "watchdog" like most of the other
watchdogs. udev uses it as the device name (by default) and spaces etc.

[PATCH] Module per-cpu alignment cannot always be met

The module code assumes noone will ever ask for a per-cpu area more than
SMP_CACHE_BYTES aligned.  However, as these cases show, gcc asks sometimes
asks for 32-byte alignment for the per-cpu section on a module, and if
CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is 4, we hit that BUG_ON().  This is obviously an
unusual combination, as there have been few reports, but better to warn
than die.

[PATCH] m32r: Fix local-timer event handling

stopped and gave no responding but the other process have been handled by
the other CPU still lives, then if we did something in the other terminal
or something like that, the stopped process came back to life and continued
its operation...  (ex.  LMbench: lat_sig)

In the m32r SMP kernel, a local-timer event is delivered by using an
IPI(inter processor interrupts); LOCAL_TIMER_IPI.  And a function
smp_send_timer() is prepared to send the LOCAL_TIMER_IPI from the current
CPU to the other CPUs.

The funtion smp_send_timer() was placed and used in do_IRQ() in
former times (before 2.6.10-rc3-mm1 kernel), however, it was
unintentionally removed when arch/m32r/kernel/irq.c was modified to
employ the generic hardirq framework (CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ) in

[PATCH] tridentfb: Fix scrolling artifacts during disk IO

Reported by: Jochen Hein (Bugzilla Bug 4312)

When there is disk I/O happening, the framebuffer has a little snow on
the screen.  Once I/O has finished, no garbage remains on screen.

This bug was explained by: Knut Petersen

Most important is CRTC register 2f, signal quality is also improved for
higher vclk values by changing set_vclk() according to the X drivers and
cyblafb.c

The fix is to set the performance register (0x2f) with a more stable
value.

18 years ago[PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim()
Ingo Molnar [Mon, 1 Aug 2005 11:39:13 +0000 (13:39 +0200)]
[PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim()

This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now.  While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity.  I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.

Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]

Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:

 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2

where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:

 ' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
   terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
   finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '

in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?

I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!

The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.

The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes.  We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

[PATCH] ppc32: fix 44x early serial debug for configurations with more than 512M of RAM

Fix 44x early serial debugging for big RAM configurations (more than 512M).
 We cannot use default OpenBIOS virtual mapping, because it interferes with
pinned TLB entry.

While we are at it, move early UART mapping to TLB slot 0, so it can
survive longer during boot process (slot 1 is used by the first ioremap
call, effectively killing UART mapping if it occupies this slot).  Also,
change UART TLB entry size to 4K (256M is too much for a bunch of registers
:).  Squash some warnings on the way.

Tested on Ebony and Ocotea with 1G of RAM.

Thanks to Scott Coulter <scott.coulter@cyclone.com> for diagnosing this
problem.

18 years ago[PATCH] Fix NUMA node sizing in nr_free_zone_pages
Martin J. Bligh [Sat, 30 Jul 2005 05:59:18 +0000 (22:59 -0700)]
[PATCH] Fix NUMA node sizing in nr_free_zone_pages

We are iterating over all nodes in nr_free_zone_pages().  Because the
fallback zonelists contain all nodes in the system, and we walk all the
zonelists, we're counting memory multiple times (once for each node).  This
caused us to make a size estimate of 32GB for an 8GB AMD64 box, which makes
all the dirty ratio calculations, etc incorrect.

There's still a further bug to fix from e820 holes causing overestimation
as well, but this fix is separate, and good as is, and fixes one class of
problems.  Problem found by Badari, and tested by Ram Pai - thanks!
