2011-02-20tcp: document tcp_max_ssthresh (Limited Slow-Start)Ilpo Järvinen1-0/+11
Base on Ilpo's patch about documenting tcp_max_ssthresh. (see http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=117950581307310&w=2) According to errata of RFC3742, fix the number of segments increased during RTT time. Just to state the occasion to use this parameter, But about how to set parameter value, maybe some others can do it.

2011-02-02memsw: deprecate noswapaccount kernel parameter and schedule it for removalMichal Hocko1-0/+16
noswapaccount couldn't be used to control memsw for both on/off cases so we have added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter. This way we can turn the feature in two ways noswapaccount resp. swapaccount=0. We have kept the original noswapaccount but I think we should remove it after some time as it just makes more command line parameters without any advantages and also the code to handle parameters is uglier if we want both parameters.

2011-01-31NTFS: Fix invalid pointer dereference in ntfs_mft_record_alloc().Anton Altaparmakov1-0/+2
In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @m with the return value and on error, we then try to use the old @m but that is no longer there as @m now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the error code as if it were a pointer. The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value thus preserving the original @m for later use. This is a backport from the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested... Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).

2011-01-24can: at91_can: make can_id of mailbox 0 configurableMarc Kleine-Budde1-0/+25
Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in "AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the contents of mailbox 0 may be send under certain conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode). The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the mailbox and load it with an unused identifier. This patch implements the second part of the workaround. A sysfs entry "mb0_id" is introduced. While the interface is down it can be used to configure the can_id of mailbox 0. The default value id 0x7ff. In order to use an extended can_id add the CAN_EFF_FLAG (0x80000000U) to the can_id. Example: - standard id 0x7ff: echo 0x7ff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id - extended id 0x1fffffff: echo 0x9fffffff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de> Acked-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Acked-by: Kurt Van Dijck <kurt.van.dijck@eia.be> For the Documentation-part: Acked-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>

PROT_EXEC seems to be completely unnecessary (as the lguest binary never executes there), and will allow it to work with SELinux (and more importantly, PaX :-) as they can/do forbid writable and executable mappings. Also, map PROT_NONE guard pages at start and end of guest memory for extra paranoia. I changed the length check to addr + size > guest_limit because >= is wrong (addr of 0, size of getpagesize() with a guest_limit of getpagesize() would false positive).

2011-01-19[media] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup must set is_new to 1Hans Verkuil1-0/+12
Renamed has_new to is_new. Drivers can use the is_new field to determine if a new value was specified for a control. The v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() must always set this to 1 since the setup has to force a full update of all controls.
