2009-03-04rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()Eric Dumazet
If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop 100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule(). This can delay RCU grace period to insane values. Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem. Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from "schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

2009-03-04x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != currentDaniel Glöckner
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get a null pointer exception in finit. This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction. An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined. The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

2009-03-04x86: set_highmem_pages_init() cleanup, #2Pekka Enberg
Impact: cleanup The zones are set up at this stage so there's a highmem zone available even for the UMA case. The only difference there is that for machines that have CONFIG_HIGHMEM enabled but don't have any highmem available, ->zone_start_pfn is zero whereas highstart_pfn is non-zero). The field is left zeroed because of the !size test in free_area_init_core() but shouldn't be a problem because add_highpages_with_active_regions() handles empty ranges just fine.

2009-03-04x86: fix DMI on EFIBrian Maly
Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after efi_init() and not before. Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro. This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware (i.e. video works).

2009-03-03netlink: invert error code in netlink_set_err()Pablo Neira Ayuso
The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error. Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the (usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :). This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
