Patent number: 10922180Abstract: A technique for handling uncorrected memory errors (UEs) inside a kernel text section, the kernel text section being stored in a memory that is operably coupled to a CPU executing kernel program instructions. In an embodiment, a UE is detected that affects the kernel text section. The current instruction affected by the UE is identified. The UE-affected instruction is recovered by loading a copy thereof into the memory from a kernel image maintained in persistent storage. The UE-affected instruction is emulated using the copy of the UE-affected instruction. The instruction pointer of the CPU is then incremented to point to a next instruction in the memory that would normally be executed by the UE-affected instruction had there been no UE.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mahesh J. Salgaonkar, Anshuman Khandual, Srikar Dronamraju, Haren Myneni

Patent number: 8509414Abstract: A target phone number previously associated with a first user is presently associated with a second user such that the target phone number is not presently associated with the first user. A caller uses a calling phone number to initiate a phone call to the target phone number. In response, it is determined whether the calling phone number is on a list of phone numbers associated with the first user. If the calling phone number is on the list of phone numbers associated with the first user, then the caller is notified that the target phone number is no longer associated with the first user. It is determined whether the caller wants to continue with the phone call, and if not, the phone call is terminated before it reaches the second user.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2008Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Haren Myneni, Badari Pulavarty, Chandra Seetharaman, Narasimha N.

Publication number: 20130151888Abstract: A technique for avoiding a ping-pong effect on active-passive paths in a storage system managing one or more logical storage units (LUNs) on behalf of one or more host systems. A first path to the LUNs is designated as an active path and a second path to the LUNs is designated as a passive path. The first path is also designated as a preferred path to the LUNs. In response to a path failure in which a host system cannot access the LUNs on the first path, a failover operation is implemented wherein the second path is designated as the active path and the first path is designated as the passive path. The designation of the first path as the preferred path to the LUNs is not changed. Subsequent failback operations are conditionally inhibited so that only the failover host that initiated the failover is permitted to initiate a failback.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Venkateswararao Jujjuri, Haren Myneni, Malahal R.

Patent number: 8001482Abstract: A method of displaying tab titles in a computer user interface receives a request to display a new tab in a tab area having a length. The new tab has a width and the new tab has a title having a length. The method determines a number of tabs to be displayed in the area and determines if the number of tabs to be displayed multiplied by the tab width is greater than the length of the tab area. If so, the method sets the tab width equal to the length of the tab area divided by the number of tabs. The method determines if the length of the title is greater than the tab width. If so, the method determines if the title has any words in common with any other titles of tabs. If so, the method deletes the common words from the titles, and displays the titles with the deleted common words in the tabs. The method may set a maximum number of tabs to be displayed in the tab area. The maximum number of tabs may be determined by the length of the tab area and a minimum tab width.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sukadev Bhattiprolu, Haren Myneni, Malahal R.
