[PATCH] cpu_exclusive sched domains on partial nodes temp fix
This keeps the kernel/cpuset.c routine update_cpu_domains() from
invoking the sched.c routine partition_sched_domains() if the cpuset in
question doesn't fall on node boundaries.
I have boot tested this on an SN2, and with the help of a couple of ad
hoc printk's, determined that it does indeed avoid calling the
partition_sched_domains() routine on partial nodes.
I did not directly verify that this avoids setting up bogus sched
domains or avoids the oops that Hawkes saw.
This patch imposes a silent artificial constraint on which cpusets can
be used to define dynamic sched domains.
This patch should allow proceeding with this new feature in 2.6.13 for
the configurations in which it is useful (node alligned sched domains)
while avoiding trying to setup sched domains in the less useful cases
that can cause the kernel corruption and oops.

i386 floating-point exception handling has a bug that can cause error

This is caused by unconditionally checking the IS and c1 bits from the

whether an exception is a stack fault and is only relevant when the
exception is IE (invalid operation.) The C1 bit determines whether a
stack fault is overflow or underflow and is only relevant when IS and IE

[PATCH] preempt race in getppid
With CONFIG_PREEMPT && !CONFIG_SMP, it's possible for sys_getppid to
return a bogus value if the parent's task_struct gets reallocated after
current->group_leader->real_parent is read:
asmlinkage long sys_getppid(void)
{
int pid;
struct task_struct *me = current;
struct task_struct *parent;
parent = me->group_leader->real_parent;
RACE HERE => for (;;) {
pid = parent->tgid;

struct task_struct *old = parent;
/*
* Make sure we read the pid before re-reading the
* parent pointer:
*/
smp_rmb();
parent = me->group_leader->real_parent;
if (old != parent)
continue;
}
#endif
break;
}
return pid;
}
If the process gets preempted at the indicated point, the parent process
can go ahead and call exit() and then get wait()'d on to reap its
task_struct. When the preempted process gets resumed, it will not do any
further checks of the parent pointer on !CONFIG_SMP: it will read the
bad pid and return.
So, the same algorithm used when SMP is enabled should be used when
preempt is enabled, which will recheck ->real_parent in this case.

[TCP]: Unconditionally clear TCP_NAGLE_PUSH in skb_entail().
Intention of this bit is to force pushing of the existing

But it's easy to create a situation where the bit never
clears. For example, if the send queue starts empty:
1) set TCP_NODELAY
2) clear TCP_NODELAY
3) set TCP_CORK
4) do small write()

The socket flag cleanups that went into 2.6.12-rc1 are basically oring

Unfortunately that one was just initialized by sock_init_data(), so already
has SOCK_ZAPPED set. As the result zapped sockets are created and all
incoming connection will fail due to this bug which again was carefully
replicated to at least AX.25, NET/ROM or ROSE.
In order to keep the abstraction alive I've introduced sock_copy_flags()
to copy the socket flags from one sockets to another and used that
instead of the bitwise copy thing. Anyway, the idea here has probably
been to copy all flags, so sock_copy_flags() should be the right thing.

From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>
Found this bug while doing some scaling testing that created 500K inet

peer_check_expire() in net/ipv4/inetpeer.c isn't using inet_peer_gc_mintime
correctly and will end up creating an expire timer with less than the
minimum duration, and even zero/negative if enough active peers are
present.
If >65K peers, the timer will be less than inet_peer_gc_mintime, and with
>70K peers, the timer duration will reach zero and go negative.
The timer handler will continue to schedule another zero/negative timer in
a loop until peers can be aged. This can continue for at least a few
minutes or even longer if the peers remain active due to arriving packets
while the loop is occurring.
