slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered
cache.
But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already
statically linked into the kernel. Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh
reaction.
Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt. If
the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well.
Notes:
- Swaps the ranking of cache_chain_sem and lock_cpu_hotplug(). Doesn't seem
important.

This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to
fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by
this patch).
The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64
introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id
c594adad56) due to a misunderstanding of the
srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit
process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual).
In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for
hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for
hugepages.
In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to
be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages
if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all
addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is
governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage
if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M
granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked
for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB
granularity).
To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending
patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a
hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of
1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when
using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are
stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply
disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable
them some other day).
Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5
LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

Patch from Alessandro Zummo
This patch fixes AHB/PCI endianness problems when the
processor is in little-endian mode.
The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives
in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19.
According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus
supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian.
The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR
register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus.
A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX
can be found in [1], page 18.
The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in
both LE and BE modes.
The author is Peter Korsgaard.

Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.
Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the

This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be

lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return
0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm

Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way
of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or
struct scsi_device. Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush,
and shutdown pathways.
The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying
scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk
when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be
used).
