Found the problem, I believe: an object lesson in the need for great
caution using ++.

[...]

+ pool->consumer_index = free_index;
  index = pool->free_map[free_index];

  ibmveth_assert(index != IBM_VETH_INVALID_MAP);

Since the ++ is used as post-increment, the increment is not included
in free_index, and so the added line effectively reverts the
increment.  The produced_index side has an analagous bug.

The following change corrects this:

The recent commit 751ae21c6cd1493e3d0a4935b08fb298b9d89773 introduced
a bug in the producer/consumer index calculation in the ibmveth driver
- incautious use of the post-increment ++ operator resulted in an
increment being immediately reverted.  This patch corrects the logic.

Without this patch, the driver oopses almost immediately after
activation on at least some machines.

[PATCH] sky2: 88E803X transmit lockup

The reason sky2 driver was locking up on transmit on the Yukon-FE chipset
is that it was misconfiguring the internal RAM buffer so the transmitter
and receiver were sharing the same space.

The code assumed there was 16K of RAM on Yukon-FE (taken from vendor driver
sk98lin which is even more f*cked up on this). Then it assigned based on that.
The giveaway was that the registers would only hold 9bits so both RX/TX
had 0..1ff for space. It is a wonder it worked at all!

This patch addresses this, and fixes an easily reproducible hang on Transmit.
Only the Yukon-FE chip is Marvell 88E803X (10/100 only) are affected.

[PATCH] knfsd: fix race that can disable NFS server

This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel.  It should go in
2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series.

This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become
apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many
distros seem to be making it the default.

The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready
for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available.

It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither
of these set.  It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in
svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the
spin_lock.  They could be cleared immediately after the test and
before the lock is gained.

This normally shouldn't be a problem.  The sockets are non-blocking so
trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem.

However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or
should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not.  This usually
works but is not safe.  The decision should be based on whether it is
a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

  out-of-line #if MAX_NUMNODES > 1

   CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT defined and > 0

-> include/linux/numa.h: MAX_NUMNODES > 1

nfsd4_path() does both; caller expects to get NFS protocol error out it if

But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called

So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it.

This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not
considered, which avoids various pains to the user.  Our dependency are such
that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful
compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot
device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say
/boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set.  This always
disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML
kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on
almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine).
 It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and
can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch.

Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement
(additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a
.config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set.  With
this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given
architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our
problem):

config UML
option required
default y

However this should be further discussed:
*) for x86, it must support constructs like:

==arch/i386/Kconfig==
config 64BIT
option required
default n
where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the
read .config.

*) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for
   .config? Which leads to:
*) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more
   different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may
   force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by
   default)?

[PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

[PATCH] direct-io: sync and invalidate file region when falling back to buffered write

When direct-io falls back to buffered write, it will just leave the dirty data
floating about in pagecache, pending regular writeback.

But normal direct-io semantics are that IO is synchronous, and that it leaves
no pagecache behind.

So change the fallback-to-buffered-write code to sync the file region and to
then strip away the pagecache, just as a regular direct-io write would do.
