[PATCH] Remove obsolete CREDITS address

2006-03-20T05:14:36Z

This address is going to be obsolete, so I should update it.

[TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2

2006-03-19T21:21:12Z

The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and 5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device. For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind the 5714. All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround. Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing the patch. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole.

2006-03-19T21:20:06Z

If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3 (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet. Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported AX.25 dialects. The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

[PATCH] Kconfig: swap VIDEO_CX88_ALSA and VIDEO_CX88_DVB

2006-03-18T20:12:18Z

VIDEO_CX88_ALSA should not be between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS When cx88-alsa was added to cx88/Kconfig, it was added in between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS. This caused undesireable effects to the appearance of the menu options in menuconfig. This fix reorders cx88-alsa and cx88-dvb in Kconfig, to match saa7134, and restore the correct menuconfig appearance.

[PATCH] disable unshare(CLONE_VM) for now

2006-03-18T18:49:36Z

sys_unshare() does mmput(new_mm). This is not enough if we have mm->core_waiters. This patch is a temporary fix for soon to be released 2.6.16. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov [ Checked with Uli: "I'm not planning to use unshare(CLONE_VM). It's not needed for any functionality planned so far. What we (as in Red Hat) need unshare() for now is the filesystem side." ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[MIPS] Sibyte: Fix race in sb1250_gettimeoffset().

2006-03-18T16:59:30Z

From Dave Johnson : sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised, it immediately resets and begins to count down again. If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value (or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump forward 1ms. Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at 1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
