Linux 2.5.63

Linux 2.5.63

[Linus Torvalds]

Hmm.. Nothing really fundamental here - various updates all over 
(architecture updates, networking, usb, acpi, bluetooth, the usual 
suspects).

The task structure reference counting seems to have broken alpha, Richard 
is still chasing that one down.

This update is broken and strange in many ways, it would have been
nice if you actually sent this to some list for review before submitting..

(1) there's stuff like:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,58)
#define mpt_inc_use_count()
#define mpt_dec_use_count()
#else
#define mpt_inc_use_count() MOD_INC_USE_COUNT
#define mpt_dec_use_count() MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT
#endif

but even if the old-style refcounting is deprecated now you can't
just simply remove it!  you need to rearchitecture your code to
work with try_module_get/module_put

(2) and like this:

+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,59)
 MODULE_PARM(PortIo, "0-1i");
 MODULE_PARM_DESC(PortIo, "[0]=Use mmap, 1=Use port io");
+#endif

Again. just because old-style module paramters are deprecated you can't
just remove them without replacement, use module_param() instead.

(3) you remove backward copatiblity code in one place but add lots more
    in other places.  this doesn't make sense - either you have a nice or
    all releases driver, but not one that doesn't work everywhere _and_ looks
    horrible.

Care to explain what  FOLD_NANO_SLEEP_INTO_CLOCK_NANO_SLEEP
is supposed to do?  It's always defined in signal.h, so we can
aswell get rid of it..

And what's this:

#ifndef div_long_long_rem
+#include <asm/div64.h>
+
+#define div_long_long_rem(dividend,divisor,remainder) ({ \
+                      u64 result = dividend;           \
+                      *remainder = do_div(result,divisor); \
+                      result; })
+
+#endif                         /* ifndef div_long_long_rem */

Any reason you can't just use do_div directly like everyone else? :)

Re: Linux 2.5.63 - nfs mount fails

[Helge Hafting]

My first attempt at mounting nfs with 2.5.63 resulted in a segfault.
Two more attempts at the same directory and another resulted in
mount processes in D-state.

2.5.59 has no problems.

The relevant line from etc/fstab:
www.aitel.hist.no:/www/innhold    /www     nfs 
rsize=4096,wsize=8192,user,noauto,hard,intr  0      0

The kernel has UP, preempt, everything compiled-in
(no module support at all), devfs compiled but not mounted.

I can do tcpdumps if that helps.

it shouldnt be doing that.  you only need to set the timestamp in the 
skb.  i see the eni driver does the same thing.  i will see about
a patch for that shortly.

It is there in case some one might want nanosleep to NOT be folded 
into clock_nanosleep.  For a while this was a moving target and I got 
a bit paranoid  :)  I see no real reason to keep it...

Actually I have coded a better function as part of the expanded 
high-res-timers which does a 64-bit/32-bit div in a much cleaner way. 
  Again, it is part of the full high-res-timers patch.  I have been 
thinking of submitting the complete set of these math routines outside 
of the high-res patch.  They are designed to make scaled math easy.  I 
  have both a generic and a i386 header file, but they still need a 
bit of testing.

The issue is getting around the C limitation of not being able to use 
the div and mpy instructions that take 64-bits/32-bits and return 2 
32-bit results and the mpy which takes 2 32-bit operands and returns a 
64-bit result.

For scaled operations, they also roll a shift into the mix in an 
efficient way (i.e. a small inline asm function).
