* [PATCH] kexec: fix in free initrd when overlapped with crashkernel regionHaren Myneni2006-02-102-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see the similar issue even on other archs. One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But, the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel memory in case overlaps. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

* [PATCH] sched: remove smpniceNick Piggin2006-02-101-111/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that it still isn't quite ready with his additions either). Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised similar concerns in my review). The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2 SMP+HT Xeon are as follows: | Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40 -----------+----------------+---------------------+--------------------- 2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470 +nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347 Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually measured that). We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink. Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket, so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be, and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock of rtnetlink. Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional argument to netlink_attachskb(). A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases: 1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot wait for buffer space. 2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered to some recipients.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several bug reports have come in, noting that disabling CONFIG_PCI_MSI has fixed their problems with this driver. This may be generic system issues, but there is also the probability of unimplemented hardware errata workarounds. Until this ream of bug reports is sorted out, we can get them going in non-MSI interrupt mode. As such, this change adds an 'msi' module option, which defaults to off.
| * | | | [libata sata_sil] implement 'slow_down' module parameterJeff Garzik2006-01-271-2/+8

Enabling this quirk has the effect of clamping all ATA commands to no more than 15 sectors. The intended use of this quirk is to stop the controller from generating FIS's of unusual size ("but Wesley, what about the FOUS's?"), which in turn works around problems in a <list> of hard drives. One side effect of this quirk is greatly decreased performance. Users often enable the mod15write quirk to fix various system, power, chip, and/or driver problems. For a few rare problematic cases, enabling this has cured lockups or data corruption. Rather than add bogus listings to the mod15write quirk list (I get a patch every month doing such), we add a 'slow_down' module parameter. This allows users to employ a performance sledgehammer in the hopes of curing a problem. It defaults to off (0), of course.
