I'm willing to give this a shot. Where, or perhaps what, should I test
to evaluate best the effects, if any, of this patch?

[PATCH 2.4.22-BK] [RESEND 3rd] Fix oom killer braindamage
Date: 21.06.2003 22:04
From: Marc-Christian Petersen <m.c.p@wolk-project.de>  (Working Overloaded 
Linux Kernel)
To: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo@conectiva.com.br>
CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

Hi Marcelo,

attached patch fixes the oom killer braindamage where it tries to kill 
processes again and again and again w/o any ending or successfull killing of 
the selected processes in an OOM case.

The attached, very simple but effective, patch fixes it.

All the kudos go to Rik van Riel.

Patch tested and works, and also for a long time in my tree (and maybe also 
others?!)

This issue is out there for several years.

Please apply it for 2.4.22-pre2, thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

ciao, Marc

Benchmark that before you blindly assume its right. Gcc not inlining large

It seems this issue is also present in 2.5.73.

Could you send such cleanup changes for inclusion into 2.5 first?

Let's be clear, I just collect patches that I think are interesting. The
original post by Andrew Morton <akpm@digeo.com> is here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104695003008386&w=2

Quoting it:

And I also remember other posts, by other author of a similar patch, that
claimed some critical functions not being inlined due to size (memcpys..).
Will try to look original info about that...

[2.4 patch] some gcc 3.3 fixes from -ac

[Adrian Bunk]

Hi Marcelo,

the patch below contains four trivial fixes for compile failures with 
gcc 3.3 stolen from -ac.

I've tested the compilation with 2.4.22-pre2.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I found this just by chance:

mm/filemap.c:
ssize_t
do_generic_direct_write(struct file *file,const char *buf,size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
...

    if (!file->f_flags & O_DIRECT)
        BUG();

This fails to trigger the BUG() just when it should. This should be:

    if (!(file->f_flags & O_DIRECT))
        BUG();

To check my C, I tried this:

#include <stdio.h>

#define O_D 2

int main()
{
    int flags;

    flags = O_D +4;
    printf("%d\n",!flags & O_D);
    printf("%d\n",!(flags & O_D));
    flags = 1+4;
    printf("%d\n",!flags & O_D);
    printf("%d\n",!(flags & O_D));

    return 0;
}

Output:

werewolf:~# ./kk
0
0
0
1

So it gives 0 when 'flags' != 0, not regarding if O_D is there or not....

Correct ?

One other job for the Stanford checker... ?

What's wrong with the generic HDLC update then? Are you going to apply it?

ftp://ftp.pm.waw.pl/pub/linux/hdlc/hdlc-2.4.21pre7-1.14.patch
or http://ftp.pm.waw.pl/pub/linux/hdlc/hdlc-2.4.21pre7-1.14.patch

Yes, it applies to 2.4.21-pre7 and later kernels, including 2.4.22-pre2.
I hope it will require "-R" to apply it to pre3...

TIA.
