Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.
SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

overflow if jiffies gets advanced between next_timer_interrupt and the read
under the xtime lock. The cast to a u64 then results in a large value
which causes the cpu to wait too long. Fix this by casting next and

Under certain timing conditions, a race during boot occurs where timer
ticks are being processed on remote CPUs. The remote timer ticks can
increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is
very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can
end up with
1) No softirq pending
2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies
3) No high resolution timer active
4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value.
In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows,
because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies,
but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the
wheel (jiffies_base).

Update the kernel/cpuset.c:cpuset_zone_allowed() comment.
The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed()
was intended to be:
Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.
The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was
stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in
November 2005.

Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from
invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while
interrupts disabled.
The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c
__alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks
cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the
zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be
allowed in a parent cpuset.
But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a
GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags).
The rule was intended to be:
Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.
This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change
made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort
to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap
daemons were awoken.
The bogus change can be seen at:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html
[PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags
This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling
interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which
resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping
function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take
the callback_sem cpuset semaphore.
We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at
decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional
cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in
March 2006.
Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat

The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return
values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This
causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it
actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into
this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if
the memory that is overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these
calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the
acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE
checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's

Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check"
export option.
The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client
from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The
algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being
referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If
some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and
the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client.
The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make
certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume
that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again.
In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the
server for a particular user.
A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would
inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was
not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
easy access to...
I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered
single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both
boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch.
I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
well.

Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans,
compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans,
which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the
return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is
valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed
understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to
compat_sys_nfsservctl.
An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It
doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns
-EFAULT.
The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value
of access_ok in the five functions.
