/ MD5 ... per-problem-patches, recommended (2003-11-28)
These patches contain the following linux kernel bug fixes:
| Description: |
PCICCs fail to be detected under z90crypt |
| Symptom: |
PCICCs fail to be detected under z90crypt |
| Problem: |
failed to probe unknown devices |
| Solution: |
probe unknown devices |
| Problem-ID: |
5326 |
| Description: |
z90crypt doesn't support dynamic device node generation. |
| Symptom: |
z90crypt doesn't support dynamic device node generation. |
| Problem: |
z90crypt uses a dynamically assigned major number but the
device node for z90crypt can not be created or removed
dynamically. |
| Solution: |
Add hotplug support to z90crypt. |
| Problem-ID: |
5435 |
| Description: |
Unable to reconnect when using z/VM 3.1 at remote peer. |
| Symptom: |
When peer interface was recycled, iucv is unable to
reconnect. |
| Problem: |
Incoming message interrupt during setup leads to illegal driver
state. |
| Solution: |
Disable all interrupts during setup |
| Problem-ID: |
3061 |
| Description: |
fake_ll problems when IPv6 is not active in qeth |
| Symptom: |
even with fake_ll, tcpdump displays almost unreadable
output |
| Problem: |
fake_ll handling in the v6-less case |
| Solution: |
improved fake_ll handling |
| Problem-ID: |
5370 |
| Description: |
multicast_router handling for IPv6 on OSA |
| Symptom: |
/proc/qeth contains "mix" when interface is set up as
multicast_router |
| Problem: |
supported commands not considered |
| Solution: |
check, if multicast_router is supported for IPv6 |
| Problem-ID: |
5289 |
| Description: |
sclp: signal shutdown does not work |
| Symptom: |
Invoking a 'signal shutdown' command on VM will sometimes not
log off a VM guest, even though Linux is shut down correctly. |
| Problem: |
Linux has to signal VM that it finished the shutdown procedure
by loading one CPU with a special 'quiesce' PSW after all other
CPUs have been stopped. In the current implementation, the correct
sequence of this procedure is not guaranteed. |
| Solution: |
Implement a signal sense loop on CPU 0 to guarantee that all
other CPUs have entered the stopped state prior to loading the
quiesce PSW. |
| Problem-ID: |
5297 |
| Description: |
zfcp: unwary memory allocation during error recovery |
| Symptom: |
deadlock, or some other fatality along this line |
| Problem: |
kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL while some lock is held |
| Solution: |
use GFP_ATOMIC instead (we have an emergency buffer for an out
of memory condition) |
| Problem-ID: |
5292 |
