LinuxLists.cc - Linux 2.5.69

2003-05-05 00:37:37

Subject: Linux 2.5.69

Ok,
I finally found the reason for why some of my machines had trouble with
restarting the X server, and it turns out that it's been around since very
early February. I bet others must have seen it too, with random crashes on
X server restart when the server used AGP (which means that it mainly hit
either hw-accelerated 3D setups or the intel integrated graphics which use
a UMA model with AGP as the backing store).

That's a big relief for me, as it was the major thing I personally worried
about for 2.6.x.

Anyway, that's fixed here, along with a lot of other updates. Much of
2.5.69 is small one-liners to drivers to handle the new IRQ semantics, but
there's a lot of other cleanups in there too (Christoph Hellwig continued
on his devfs rampage, for example).

NOTE! As of this release I think I'll want to have patches either be
_really_ obvious, or they should go through one of more people for
approval. In particular, I'm hoping that the paperwork stuff with Andrew
should be getting closer to finalized, and that we could start moving over
towards a 2.6.x release schedule..

Linus

Keith M. Wesolowski:
o [SPARC]: Replace "magic" values

Linus Torvalds:
o Fix-ups for i830 from Arjan
o Interrupt handlers should return whether the interrupt was for them
or not, so that the irq subsystem can properly handle screaming
shared interrupts.
o Update ensoniq driver to return whether the interrupt was for it
o Fix IO-APIC vector allocation boundary case - we never want to
allocate FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR as an external interrupt. It's
unlikely, but could happen if we have a _ton_ of interrupt sources.
o Return IRQ_NONE for ieee1394 driver when the interrupt was for
somebody else.
o Allow gcc to generate better code for irq handling
o Add the Xeon variations (Pentium-III and P4-based) to the list
o Fix irq event debug print-out, and add stack dump which can give a
clue about what the context was that might have caused the spurious
interrupt.
o Never merge vma's that have mapping-private data
o Since "apply_alternatives()" also runs at module load time it must
not be marked __init.
o Merge with DRI CVS tree: remove stale old context switching code
and DMA histogramming. Be more careful about DMA page-list
allocations, and remove old and broken (not SMP-safe, and unused)
DRM read(), write() and poll() support.
o 'hw_status_page' looks like a pointer, quacks like a pointer and
walks like a pointer. It _is_ a pointer. So make it one, and remove
a lot of silly casts.
o Fix up some mixing of ramdisk/initrd. They have nothing in common,
but the build was confused by the fact that they did share some
files.
o Avoid warning: print out hw_status_page as the pointer it now is
o scsi.c needs <linux/interrupt.h>. Somebody was a bit over-eager at
cleanups.
o DRI CVS merge: move more gamma-only functions away from generic dri
files and into gamma driver files.
o Previous DRI CVS merge improperly removed some sparc-only support.
Add it back in now that DRI is synched up again.
o Remove old (disabled) debugging code
o DRI CVS merge: make sure to clean up irq and DMA on final close
o DRI CVS merge: only free pages when we _have_ pages to free
o DRI CVS merge: make sure the device is properly initialized before
opening it.
o DRI CVS merge: memory barrier updates
o DRI texmem branch merge cleanups. Texture ages are unsigned, and
radeon should use generic texture structure now.
o PCI ID's for Quadrics from Daniel Blueman
o Revert pmd/pgd slabification. wli will fix it properly
