The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for
2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to
localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization
patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing
kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab
to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one
time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the
speed of kmalloc node does not matter.
This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node
specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation
improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7
of about 5% with this patch alone.
More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast
way like kmalloc.
Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram.

These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater
improvement than 5%. However, the performance improvements become less
over time if the AIM7 runs are repeated and settle down at around 5%.

multifunction cards need to have the same irq assigned to both functions.
the code tries that but fails because ret is still set to CS_IN_USE which
results in the function having the CB irq assigned. yenta_set_socket then
just changes the irq routing to use the PCI interrupt but the first

This fix has also been applied to lgdt330x. There is an optimization that
keeps track of the frequency tuned by the digital decoder. The digital driver
does not set the frequency if it has not changed since it was tuned. The
analog tuner driver knows nothing about the frequency saved by the digital
driver. When the frequency is set using the video4linux code with tvtime, the
hardware get changed but the digital driver's state does not get updated.
Switch back to the same digital channel and the driver finds no change in
frequency so the tuner is not reset to the digital frequency. The work around
is to remove the check and always set the tuner to the specified frequency.

while investigating the QAM_128-issue with the stv0297-driver for the

it, not by increasing the timeout, but by disabling the corner-detection for
QAM_128 and higher.
This patch has been tested on dvb-kernel cvs, and has been reported to work by
multiple users. Some cards still need timeout increase on top of this patch.

I have a system (Biostar IDEQ210M mini-pc with a VIA chipset) which will
not reboot unless a keyboard is plugged in to it. I have tried all
combinations of the kernel "reboot=x,y" flags to no avail. Rebooting by
any method will leave the system in a wedged state (at the "Restarting
system" message).
I finally tracked the problem down to the machine's refusal to fully reboot
unless the keyboard controller status register had bit 2 set. This is the
"System flag" which when set, indicates successful completion of the
keyboard controller self-test (Basic Assurance Test, BAT).
I suppose that something is trying to protect against sporadic reboots
unless the keyboard controller is in a good state (a keyboard is present),
but I need this machine to be headless.
I found that setting the system flag (via the command byte) before giving
the "pulse reset line" command will allow the reboot to proceed. The patch
is simple, and I think it should be fine for everybody whether they have
this type of machine or not. This affects the "hard" reboot (as done when
the kernel boot flags "reboot=c,h" are used).

[PATCH] aio: kiocb locking to serialise retry and cancel
Implement a per-kiocb lock to serialise retry operations and cancel. This
is done using wait_on_bit_lock() on the KIF_LOCKED bit of kiocb->ki_flags.
Also, make the cancellation path lock the kiocb and subsequently release
all references to it if the cancel was successful. This version includes a
fix for the deadlock with __aio_run_iocbs.

[PATCH] change io_cancel return code for no cancel case
Note that other than few exceptions, most of the current filesystem and/or
drivers do not have aio cancel specifically defined (kiob->ki_cancel field
is mostly NULL). However, sys_io_cancel system call universally sets
return code to -EAGAIN. This gives applications a wrong impression that
this call is implemented but just never works. We have customer inquires
about this issue.
Changed by Benjamin LaHaise to EINVAL instead of ENOSYS

[PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switch
For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large
(currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found
that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function.
The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch
switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows
maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

[PATCH] fix disassociate_ctty vs. fork race
Race is as follows. Process A forks process B, both being part of the same
session. Then, A calls disassociate_ctty while B forks C:
A B
==== ====
fork()
copy_signal()
dissasociate_ctty() ....
attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_SID, p->signal->session);
Now, C can have current->signal->tty pointing to a freed tty structure, as
it hasn't yet been added to the session group (to have its controlling tty
cleared on the diassociate_ctty() call).
This has shown up as an oops but could be even more serious. I haven't
tried to create a test case, but a customer has verified that the patch
below resolves the issue, which was occuring quite frequently. I'll try
and post the test case if i can.
The patch simply checks for a NULL tty *after* it has been attached to the
proper session group and clears it as necessary. Alternatively, we could
simply do the tty assignment after the the process is added to the proper
session group.

[PATCH] vga text console and stty cols/rows
Some people use 66-cells braille devices for reading the console, and hence
would like to reduce the width of the screen by using:
stty cols 66
However, the vga text console doesn't behave correctly: the 14 first
characters of the second line are put on the right of the first line and so
forth.
Here is a patch to correct that. It corrects the disp_end and offset
registers of the vga board on console resize and console switch.
On usual screens, you then correctly get a right and/or bottom blank
margin. On some laptop panels, the output is resized so that text actually
gets magnified, which can be great for some people (see
http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/ls.jpg ).

[PATCH] pty_chars_in_buffer oops fix
The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line
discipline changing. This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of
the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed.
This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see:
A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the
poll vs. line discipline changing race. However, this patch takes a more
general approach to the issue. The patch only adds locking on a less often
used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the
ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths.
The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both
taken under the same spinlock(). I thought about locking the ptmx/pty
separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock.
For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side. Then, process
2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock
but not the slave's. Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the
process 2's ldisc reference.
This patch does introduce some changes in semantics. For example, a line
discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a
read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'. The current behavior
is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and
'b'. I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out.
I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line
discipline out from underneath.
This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch.
