The full changes are slightly larger than I was hoping for, but considering that the patch is barely over 100kB compressed for a month worth of work, I'm still fairly pleased. There is still something strange going on that seems to be triggered by preemption, so for now we suggest not enabling CONFIG_PREEMPT if you want the highest stability. On the other hand, I'd love to have more testing, so that we can try to figure out what the pattern is - but please mention explicitly that you ran with preemption if you have problems. Quite a lot of the -test10 patches are one-liners and quite trivial. I've tried to be quite strict in patch acceptance, so the changes are largely fixes for things that can crash the machine, and they are also of the type "this can't possibly break anything". But hey, we all know that theory and practice don't always match ;) I'm planning/hoping on basically turning this over to Andrew, and let him decide to make the final 2.6.0 or not. Timing-wise Andrew is apparently going to be off for a few weeks, so regardless of whether this turns out to be rock solid or not, we'll have a few weeks of final testing before that were to happen. Which means that I might still end up making a test11 if Andrew hasn't come back and we find something that warrants it. Btw, I'm happy to say that maintainers have been self-policing themselves quite admirably. Thanks to everybody involved. The changelog gives more details, but the bigger things here are various networking fixes, and the SCSI layer being better at refcounting some data structures (the oopses on USB storage removal that some people have seen should hopefully be fixed). [ Btw, I tried to come up with a good name for this release. But the fact is, that as Scott Adams has so often pointed out, you can't do much better than "weasel" when it comes to funny. Ever since the "greased weasel" series of kernel releases I have been stuck for a good name. This release is tentatively called the "stoned beaver" release (beavers are _almost_ as good as weasels, as I'm sure Scott Adams would agree). If you feel strongly about the issue, please send your votes and ideas to "feedback@beaver-overlord.com", I'm sure somebody will find your insight fascinating. Thank you in advance. ] Linus Summary of changes from v2.6.0-test9 to v2.6.0-test10 ============================================ Adam Belay: o Fix ISAPNP netdev initialization o reserve resources specified by the PnPBIOS properly Alan Mayer: o ia64: fix bug in SN2 sn_pci_map_sg that causes MCA Alan Stern: o Off-by-one bug in user page calculations for Direct I/O Alexander Viro: o Fix cramfs metadata races Alexey Kuznetsov: o [IPV4]: Fix SKB handling in ipmr xmit Amir Noam: o [netdrvr bonding] fix monitoring functions o [bonding 2.6] Restore missing backward compatibility o [bonding 2.6] fix creation of /proc/net/bonding dir Andi Kleen: o [NET]: Limit SO_BSDCOMPAT warning o Essential x86-64 updates o [NET]: Fix oops in ethertap_rx() o Fix IP checksum for SuSE 9.0 compiler o Fix TSS limit on x86-64 o Fix oops in x86-64 strace path o Fix critical issue in x86-64 IOMMU code o Work around K8 errata on x86-64 Andrew Morton: o Fix binfmt_misc locking o digi_accelport warning fix o JBD: use-after-free fix o WinTV-D patch to make tuner functional o bttv jiffies warning fix o Export some symbols on x86-64 o /proc/tty/driver/serial formatting fix o direct-io typo fix o sis900 skb free fix o [netdrvr 3c527] add MODULE_LICENSE tag o AS: handle non-block requests o 3c509 MCA compile fix o ext2 block allocation race fix o Disable IDE Tagged Command Queueing o char dev request_module fix o Fix RAID1 recovery o JBD: fix assertion failure o compile fix for voyager with gcc-3.3 o [NET]: Remove __devinitdata from board_info[] in tlan.c driver o Fix scsi_report_lun_scan sign bug o gcc bug workaround for constant_test_bit() o videobuf_waiton race fix o gettimeofday resolution fix o sched_clock() fix o reiserfs pinned buffer fix o ia32: hugetlb needs pse o Fix bugs in ext2_new_inode() o remove ext2_reserve_inode() o fix percpu_counter_mod linkage problem o ide-scsi: warn when used for cdroms o ext3_new_inode fixlet o ext2 block allocator fixes o init.h needs to include compiler.h o cpu_sibling_map fix o fs/ext[23]/xattr.c pointer arithmetic fix o resource.c bounds checking fix o mpparse printk fix o disallow modular BINFMT_ELF o fix scsi_report_lun_scan bug Andrew Victor: o [SERIAL PATCH] 1672/1: Restore sizeof(struct serial_struct) Andrey Panin: o fix visws irq breakage Andries E. Brouwer: o atkbd: 0xfa is ACK o Relax FATFS validity tests o Strange SCSI messages o Warn about old EZD and DM disk remappers Anton Altaparmakov: o NTFS: Minor bug fix in attribute list attribute handling that fixes the I/O errors on "ls" of certain fragmented files found by at least two people running Windows XP. Arjan van de Ven: o r8169 module license tag o fix starfire 64-bit b0rkage Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: o [LLC]: Fix array indexing in llc_add_pack() o [LLC]: In llc_ui_connect(), return error properly when device not found o [LLC]: Fix oops in procf handling o [LLC]: llc_lookup_listener has to consider the 'any' mac address o [LLC]: fix net_device refcounting bug o [LLC]: fix bug that prevented fcntl(O_NONBLOCK) from working with PF_LLC sockets o [LLC]: set local mac addr at connect time when userland left it as zeroes o [NET]: Introduce dev_getbyfirsthwtype o [LLC]: when the user doesn't specifies a local address to connect, do an autobind o [LLC]: Fix sockaddr, only need to provide one MAC address not three o [IPX]: Memset newly allocated atalk private area o [IPX]: Missing memset()'s in route and interface creation o [APPLETALK]: Mark me as the maintainer o [LLC]: fix procfs reading when there are saps without sockets o [LLC]: fix client side after sockaddr_llc fixup Arun Sharma: o ia64: invoke schedule_tail unconditionally on ia32 emulation Bart De Schuymer: o [NETFILTER]: Fix potential OOPS in ipt_REDIRECT o [NET]: Bart wrote arpt_mangle not DaveM. :-) Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz: o add support for new nForce IDE controllers o AMD/nForce driver update o fix ide-tape oops o fix rq->flags use in ide-tape.c Christoph Hellwig: o scsi_device refcounting and list lockdown Daniel McNeil: o Fix AIO reference counts Dave Kleikamp: o JFS: remove racy, redundant call to block_invalidatepage o JFS: Fix race between link() and unlink() David Brownell: o USB: usb ignores 64bit dma David Mosberger: o Fix pte_modify() bug which allowed mprotect() to change too many bits o ia64: Fix _PAGE_CHG_MASK so PROT_NONE works again. Caught by Linus o ia64: From Linus: Always disable system call restart when invoking a signal handler. Otherwise, a restarted system call that gets interrupted before the restart has taken effect by _another_ signal will potentially restart the wrong system call. o ia64: Fix bug in fsys_rt_sigprocmask() which breaks new-stub-enabled libc/NPTL o ia64: Fix off-by-1 error in imm60 patching. The bug hasn't been observed in practice, but it's clearly wrong and just waiting there to get triggered... o ia64: From Linus/Paulus: reset restart_block function in restore_sigcontext(). Also update ia32 subsystem accordingly. o ia64: Drop printk from ia64_ni_syscall(). This is a temporary fix for 2.6.0. The proper fix is to replace ia64_ni_syscall with sys_ni_syscall, but that would make the patch quite large, so we defer that till 2.6.1. David S.
