[PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodes

2005-08-27T02:37:12Z

Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility. (akpm: lotsa thanks to Martin for working this problem out) Cc: Martin Bligh Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix issue with gcc 4.0 compiled kernels

2005-08-27T02:37:11Z

I recently had a BUG_ON() go off spuriously on a gcc 4.0 compiled kernel. It turns out gcc-4.0 was removing a sign extension while earlier gcc versions would not. Thinking this to be a compiler bug, I submitted a report: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23422 It turns out we need to cast the input in order to tell gcc to sign extend it. Thanks to Andrew Pinski for his help on this bug. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Cc: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix IXP4xx CLOCK_TICK_RATE

2005-08-24T03:06:33Z

As pointed out in the following thread, the CLOCK_TICK_RATE setting for IXP4xx is incorrect b/c the HW ignores the lowest 2 bits of the LATCH value. http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2005-August/030950.html Tnx to George Anziger and Egil Hjelmeland for finding the issue.

[PATCH] qualifiers in return types - easy cases

2005-08-24T01:43:45Z

[PATCH] m32r smp.h gcc4 fixes

2005-08-24T01:43:44Z

extern on physid_2_cpu[] does not belong in smp.h - the thing is static. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] alpha xchg fix

2005-08-24T01:43:44Z

alpha xchg has to be a macro - alpha disables always_inline and if that puppy does not get inlined, we immediately blow up on undefined reference. Happens even on gcc3; with gcc4 that happens a _lot_. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Kconfig fix (ISA_DMA_API and sound/*)

fixed kconfig dependencies on ISA_DMA_API for parts of sound/* that rely on it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
