This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed to command line helper function, get_options. Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a list of cpus. Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number> Valid values of <cpu_number> include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the command line format for 'isolcpus=' Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number> or <cpu number>-<cpu number> (must be a positive range in ascending order.) or a mixture <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number> Signed-off-by:

I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted. Signed-off-by:

When using numa=fake on non-NUMA hardware there is no benefit to having the alien caches, and they consume much memory. Add a kernel boot option to disable them.

This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner: * UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files * source file dependencies resolved via header files net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h * order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted accordingly [NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828) This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an extension to the existing UDPv4 code: * generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c * UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite * shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage [NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6 It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular, * UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c * UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6 * support for IPV6_ADDRFORM * aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c * made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent; to return `-1' on error on all error cases * consolidation of shared code [NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support The UDP-Lite patch further provides * API documentation for UDP-Lite * basic xfrm support * basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target) Signed-off-by:

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation). It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code. The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values. This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet. Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries (also a bit like in TCP). Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls. Signed-off-by:

This patch does the following: a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2] b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user interface In addition, it (1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation: * pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len * incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x (2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly. (3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it). (4) fixes an outstanding TODO item: * If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return. The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now comes with support for partial DCCP checksums. Signed-off-by:

Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII interface. However, a growing number are connected over different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII. The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect (or phy_attach). Changes include: * Updates to documentation * Updates to PHY Lib consumers * Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support * Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h * gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate value to PHY Lib Signed-off-by:

Allright. As Greg KH suggested I split this big patch into smaller ones to make the changes easier to review. Having no better idea how to split that I split it on a 'patch per file' basis. All those patches clean redundant 'if' before usb_unlink/free/kill_urb(): if (urb) usb_free_urb(urb); /* unlink / free / kill */ I decided not to touch bigger 'if's like if (urb) { usb_kill_urb(urb); usb_free_urb(urb); urb = NULL; } as that would be probably too intrusive. One of patches also fixes drivers/usb/misc/auerswald.c memleak I found when digging the code. All those patches are against 2.6.19-rc4. Signed-off-by:
