2005-07-07[PATCH] mostly_read data sectionChristoph Lameter
Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

2005-07-07[PATCH] export generic_drop_inode() to modulesMark Fasheh
OCFS2 wants to mark an inode which has been orphaned by another node so that during final iput it takes the correct path through the VFS and can pass through the OCFS2 delete_inode callback. Since i_nlink can get out of date with other nodes, the best way I see to accomplish this is by clearing i_nlink on those inodes at drop_inode time. Other than this small amount of work, nothing different needs to happen, so I think it would be cleanest to be able to just call generic_drop_inode at the end of the OCFS2 drop_inode callback.

2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Ensure cit_iv is aligned correctlyHerbert Xu
This patch ensures that cit_iv is aligned according to cra_alignmask by allocating it as part of the tfm structure. As a side effect the crypto layer will also guarantee that the tfm ctx area has enough space to be aligned by cra_alignmask. This allows us to remove the extra space reservation from the Padlock driver. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Add alignmask for low-level cipher implementationsHerbert Xu
The VIA Padlock device requires the input and output buffers to be aligned on 16-byte boundaries. This patch adds the alignmask attribute for low-level cipher implementations to indicate their alignment requirements. The mid-level crypt() function will copy the input/output buffers if they are not aligned correctly before they are passed to the low-level implementation. Strictly speaking, some of the software implementations require the buffers to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries as they do 32-bit loads. However, it is not clear whether it is better to copy the buffers or pay the penalty for unaligned loads/stores. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-07-05[TCP]: Move to new TSO segmenting scheme.David S. Miller
Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier. The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame output to the card is determined at transmit time. This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build. Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to "defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger TSO frames to be emitted. A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

2005-07-05[NET]: Fix signedness issues in net/core/filter.cPatrick McHardy
This is the code to load packet data into a register: k = fentry->k; if (k < 0) { ... } else { u32 _tmp, *p; p = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &_tmp); if (p != NULL) { A = ntohl(*p); continue; } } skb_header_pointer checks if the requested data is within the linear area: int hlen = skb_headlen(skb); if (offset + len <= hlen) return skb->data + offset; When offset is within [INT_MAX-len+1..INT_MAX] the addition will result in a negative number which is <= hlen. I couldn't trigger a crash on my AMD64 with 2GB of memory, but a coworker tried on his x86 machine and it crashed immediately. This patch fixes the check in skb_header_pointer to handle large positive offsets similar to skb_copy_bits. Invalid data can still be accessed using negative offsets (also similar to skb_copy_bits), anyone using negative offsets needs to verify them himself.

This patch also adds the PPDEV option in the sparc64 menu, near Parallel printer support in the 'General machine setup' submenu.

2005-07-01[PATCH] PCI: clean up dynamic pci id logicGreg Kroah-Hartman
The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I thought it was time to clean it all up. It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices, semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the driver core, etc.) I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as that's what it really does.

Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).

2005-06-27[PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting adviceDavid S. Miller
After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind of information in several drivers, I decided that we really need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation. Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on PCI. There are three forms of the advice: 1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts on some particular boundary for best performance. 2) Burst on some byte count multiple. A DMA burst to some multiple of number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst on an exact multiple for best performance. The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations which hurts performance a lot. 3) Burst on a single byte count multiple. Bursts shall end exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance. Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way. They disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline boundary. Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior. That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using and give advice accordingly. Signed-off-by: David S.

When you hot-plug a (root) bridge hierarchy, it may have p2p bridges and devices attached to it that have not been configured by firmware.

I kept the existing semantics for pci_scan_bus() since there are a huge number of callers to that function.
