NETFILTER: NAT: fix NOTRACK checksum handling
The whole idea with the NOTRACK netfilter target is that
you can force the netfilter code to avoid connection
tracking, and all costs assosciated with it, by making
traffic match a NOTRACK rule.
But this is totally broken by the fact that we do a checksum
calculation over the packet before we do the NOTRACK bypass
check, which is very expensive. People setup NOTRACK rules
explicitly to avoid all of these kinds of costs.
This patch from Patrick, already in Linus's tree, fixes the
bug.
Move the check for ip_conntrack_untracked before the call to
skb_checksum_help to fix NOTRACK excemptions from NAT. Pre-2.6.19
NAT code breaks TSO by invalidating hardware checksums for every
packet, even if explicitly excluded from NAT through NOTRACK.
2.6.19 includes a fix that makes NAT and TSO live in harmony,
but the performance degradation caused by this deserves making
at least the workaround work properly in -stable.

x86-64: Calgary IOMMU: Fix off by one when calculating register space location
This patch has already been submitted for inclusion in the 2.6.19

below into the stable tree for the 2.6.18.1 release.
The purpose of the code being modified is to determine the location
of the calgary chip address space. This is done by a magical formula
of FE0MB-8MB*OneBasedChassisNumber+1MB*(RioNodeId-ChassisBase) to
find the offset where BIOS puts it. In this formula,
OneBasedChassisNumber corresponds to the NUMA node, and rionodeid is
always 2 or 3 depending on which chip in the system it is. The
problem was that we had an off by one error that caused us to account
some busses to the wrong chip and thus give them the wrong address
space.

invalidate_inode_pages2(): ignore page refcounts
The recent fix to invalidate_inode_pages() (git commit
016eb4a) managed to
unfix invalidate_inode_pages2().
The problem is that various bits of code in the kernel can take transient refs
on pages: the page scanner will do this when inspecting a batch of pages, and
the lru_cache_add() batching pagevecs also hold a ref.
Net result is transient failures in invalidate_inode_pages2(). This affects
NFS directory invalidation (observed) and presumably also block-backed
direct-io (not yet reported).
Fix it by reverting invalidate_inode_pages2() back to the old version which
ignores the page refcounts.
We may come up with something more clever later, but for now we need a 2.6.18
fix for NFS.

load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitialized
Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in
mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet.
In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to
create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init
initcall.
Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch)
moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not
early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular,
topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the
UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving
param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race,
but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module
to load earlier still.
The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the
kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

powerpc: fix building gdb against asm/ptrace.h
Ulrich Weigand found a bug with the current version of the
asm-powerpc/ptrace.h that prevents building at least the
SPU target version of gdb, since some ptrace opcodes are
not defined.
The problem seems to have originated in the merging of 32 and

are only valid on 64 bit kernels, but are also used by 32 bit

zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=
0ff38490c836dc379ff7ec45b10a15a662f4e5f6
Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final
option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free
enough pages to allow a local allocation.
However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory
of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with
46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in
dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during
global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems).
This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim
occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we
1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache
pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone.
2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages
(patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter)
are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable).
The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node
specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach
(current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be
allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is
unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based
slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier.
The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5%
Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

Fix longstanding load balancing bug in the scheduler
The scheduler will stop load balancing if the most busy processor contains
processes pinned via processor affinity.
The scheduler currently only does one search for busiest cpu. If it cannot
pull any tasks away from the busiest cpu because they were pinned then the
scheduler goes into a corner and sulks leaving the idle processors idle.
F.e. If you have processor 0 busy running four tasks pinned via taskset,
there are none on processor 1 and one just started two processes on
processor 2 then the scheduler will not move one of the two processes away
from processor 2.
This patch fixes that issue by forcing the scheduler to come out of its
corner and retrying the load balancing by considering other processors for
load balancing.
This patch was originally developed by John Hawkes and discussed at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=
113901368523205&w=2.
I have removed extraneous material and gone back to equipping struct rq
with the cpu the queue is associated with since this makes the patch much
easier and it is likely that others in the future will have the same
difficulty of figuring out which processor owns which runqueue.
The overhead added through these patches is a single word on the stack if
the kernel is configured to support 32 cpus or less (32 bit). For 32 bit
environments the maximum number of cpus that can be configued is 255 which
would result in the use of 32 bytes additional on the stack. On IA64 up to
1k cpus can be configured which will result in the use of 128 additional
bytes on the stack. The maximum additional cache footprint is one
cacheline. Typically memory use will be much less than a cacheline and the
additional cpumask will be placed on the stack in a cacheline that already
contains other local variable.

jbd: fix commit of ordered data buffers
Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is
locked, it is being written to disk. But this is not true and hence it can
lead to a potential data loss on crash. Also the code didn't count with
the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing
transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the
committing transaction. Finally it could possibly happen that we tried
writing out one buffer several times.
The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the
data commit code. We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers
needing write out and store them in an array. Buffers are also immediately
refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed). When
the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all
accumulated buffers for IO.

There is a mutex ordering problem between the pvrusb2 driver and the
v4l core. Two different pathways take mutexes in opposing orders and
this (under rare circumstances) can cause a deadlock. The two mutexes
in question are videodev_lock in the v4l core and device_lock inside
the pvrusb2 driver. The device_lock instance in the driver protects a
private global array of context pointers which had been implemented in
advance of v4l core changes which eliminate the video_set_drvdata()
and video_get_drvdata() functions.
This patch restores the use of video_get_drvdata() and
video_set_drvdata(), eliminating the need for the array and the mutex.
(This is actually a patch to restore the previous implementation.) We

NET_SCHED: Fix fallout from dev->qdisc RCU change
The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the
entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about
the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur.
The two assumptions were:
- since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need
bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs,
classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless
they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in
process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context.
- since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is
necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list).
Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption
is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can
result in corruption or use-after-free.
Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding
new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by
moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc
pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still
protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed
immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback
to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.

as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it
races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ
line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced
this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into
-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we
didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq
code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much
wider than anything else.)

This turns out to be a genuine bug. The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order. Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:
1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.
2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.
I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up. The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary. In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.
The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.
So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.
