Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur.
That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself,
but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of
the low-level driver.
The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result
in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives
up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine
hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it.
To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA
ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in
question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't
use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead.

USB: storage: Avoid I/O errors when issuing SCSI ioctls to JMicron USB/ATA bridge
Here's the patch that implements the fix you suggested to avoid the

rtc-cmos: look for PNP RTC first, then for platform RTC
We shouldn't rely on "pnp_platform_devices" to tell us whether there
is a PNP RTC device.
I introduced "pnp_platform_devices", but I think it was a mistake.
All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices.
Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC
via PNP. On those machines, we need to do the platform driver probe
to find the RTC.
We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything.
If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe.
This (in conjunction with the arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c patch to add
a platform RTC device when PNP doesn't have one) should resolve
these issues:
It's possible for get_wchan() to dereference past task->stack + THREAD_SIZE
while iterating through instruction pointers if fp equals the upper boundary,
causing a kernel panic.
sched_clock: prevent scd->clock from moving backwards
When sched_clock_cpu() couples the clocks between two cpus, it may
increment scd->clock beyond the GTOD tick window that __update_sched_clock()
uses to clamp the clock. A later call to __update_sched_clock() may move
the clock back to scd->tick_gtod + TICK_NSEC, violating the clock's
monotonic property.
This patch ensures that scd->clock will not be set backward.

Since patch 6ac665c63dcac8fcec534a1d224ecbb8b867ad59 my infiniband
controller hasn't worked. This is because it has 64-bit prefetchable
memory, which was mistakenly being taken to be 32-bit memory. The
resource flags in this case are PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 |
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_PREFETCH.
This patch checks only for the PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 bit; thus
whether the region is prefetchable or not is ignored. This fixes my

If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are
contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which
address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node. I discovered this
when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes.
When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with
the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't
get used for something else. For example the addresses for the pages
could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages,
one on each of eight nodes. In the lmb after all the pages have been
reserved it will look something like the following:
The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages. In
arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the
node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the
particular node. It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part
of each of the 8 nodes. It is assuming that a reserved region is only
on a single node.
This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside
the loop that goes over each node. It looks up the active region containing
the start of the reserved region. If it extends past that active region then
it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.

This optimizes firewire-sbp2's device probe for the case that the local
node and the SBP-2 node were discovered at the same time. In this case,
fw-core's bus management work and fw-sbp2's login and SCSI probe work
are scheduled in parallel (in the globally shared workqueue and in
fw-sbp2's workqueue, respectively). The bus reset from fw-core may then
disturb and extremely delay the login and SCSI probe because the latter
fails with several command timeouts and retries and has to be retried
from scratch.
We avoid this particular situation of sbp2_login() and fw_card_bm_work()

I'm trying to move the powerpc math-emu code to use the include/math-emu bits.
In doing so I've been using TestFloat to see how good or bad we are
doing. For the most part the current math-emu code that PPC uses has
a number of issues that the code in include/math-emu seems to solve
(plus bugs we've had for ever that no one every realized).
Anyways, I've come across a case that we are flagging underflow and
inexact because we think we have a denormalized result from a double
precision divide:
The problem seems like we aren't normalizing the result and bumping the exp.
Now that I'm digging into this a bit I'm thinking my issue has to do with
the fix DaveM put in place from back in Aug 2007 (commit 405849610fd96b4f34cd1875c4c033228fea6c0f):
[MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
should set inexact too
...
Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above.
Here is the distilled glibc test case from Jakub Jelinek which prompted that
commit:

This is not our bug! Sadly some devices cannot cope with the change
of TCP option ordering which was a result of the recent rewrite of
the option code (not that there was some particular reason steming
from the rewrite for the reordering) though any ordering of TCP
options is perfectly legal. Thus we restore the original ordering
to allow interoperability with/through such broken devices and add
some warning about this trap. Since the reordering just happened
without any particular reason, this change shouldn't cost us
anything.
There are already couple of known failure reports (within close
proximity of the last release), so the problem might be more
wide-spread than a single device. And other reports which may
be due to the same problem though the symptoms were less obvious.
Analysis of one of the case revealed (with very high probability)
that sack capability cannot be negotiated as the first option
(SYN never got a response).

This patch (as1151) protects usbcore against drivers that try to
unlink an URB after the URB's device or bus have been removed. The
core does not currently check for this, and certain drivers can cause
a crash if they are running while an HCD is unloaded.
Certainly it would be best to fix the guilty drivers. But a little
defensive programming doesn't hurt, especially since it appears that
quite a few drivers need to be fixed.
The patch prevents the problem by grabbing a reference to the device
while an unlink is in progress and using a new spinlock to synchronize
unlinks with device removal. (There's no need to acquire a reference
to the bus as well, since the device structure itself keeps a
reference to the bus.) In addition, the kerneldoc is updated to
indicate that URBs should not be unlinked after the disconnect method
returns.

Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes
instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very
good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of
parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files.
In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and
therefore accesses to random memory regions happened.
Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.
The current handling of NO_SENSE check condition is the same as
RECOVERED_ERROR, and assumes that in both cases, the I/O was fully
transferred.
We have seen cases of arrays returning with NO_SENSE (no error), but
the I/O was not completely transferred, thus residual set. Thus,
rather than return good_bytes as the entire transfer, set good_bytes
to 0, so that the midlayer then applies the residual in calculating
the transfer, and for sd, will fail the I/O and fall into a retry
path.
On the GM45, the amount of stolen memory mapped to the GTT was underestimated,
even though we had 508KB more available since the GTT doesn't take from
stolen memory. On the non-GM45 G4X, we overestimated how much stolen was
mapped to the GTT by 4KB, resulting in GPU page faults when that page was
accessed.

Fix deadlock problem in 2.6.27 caused by new USB core behavior in
response to a USB device reset request. With older kernels, the USB
device reset was "in line"; the reset simply took place and the driver
retained its association with the hardware. However now this reset
triggers a disconnect, and worse still the disconnect callback happens
in the context of the caller who asked for the device reset. This
results in an attempt by the pvrusb2 driver to recursively take a
mutex it already has, which deadlocks the driver's worker thread.
(Even if the disconnect callback were to happen on a different thread
we'd still have problems however - because while the driver should
survive and correctly disconnect / reconnect, it will then trigger
another device reset during the repeated initialization, which will
then cause another disconect, etc, forever.) The fix here is simply
to not attempt the device reset (it was of marginal value anyway).

The root cause of this problem seems that cpqphp driver calls

proc: fix vma display mismatch between /proc/pid/{maps,smaps}
Commit 4752c369789250eafcd7813e11c8fb689235b0d2 aka
"maps4: simplify interdependence of maps and smaps" broke /proc/pid/smaps,
causing it to display some vmas twice and other vmas not at all. For example:
The bug has something to do with setting m->version before all the
seq_printf's have been performed. show_map was doing this correctly,
but show_smap was doing this in the middle of its seq_printf sequence.
This patch arranges things so that the setting of m->version in show_smap
is also done at the end of its seq_printf sequence.
Testing: in addition to the above grep test, for each process I summed
up the 'Rss' fields of /proc/pid/smaps and compared that to the 'VmRSS'
field of /proc/pid/status. All matched except for Xorg (which has a
/dev/mem mapping which Rss accounts for but VmRSS does not). This result
gives us some confidence that neither /proc/pid/maps nor /proc/pid/smaps
are any longer skipping or double-counting vmas.

On some machines, like for example MSI Wind U100, the BIOS doesn't
enable ACPI before returning control to the OS, which sometimes
causes resume to fail. This is against the ACPI specification,
which clearly states that "When the platform is waking from an S1, S2
or S3 state, OSPM assumes the hardware is already in the ACPI mode
and will not issue an ACPI_ENABLE", but it won't hurt to check the
SCI_EN bit and enable ACPI during resume from S3 if this bit is not
set.
Fortunately, we already have acpi_enable() for that, so use it in the
resume code path, before executing _BFS, in analogy with the
resume-from-hibernation code path.
NOTE: We aren't supposed to set SCI_EN directly, because it's owned

The anon_vma code is very subtle, and we end up doing optimistic lookups
of anon_vmas under RCU in page_lock_anon_vma() with no locking. Other
CPU's can also see the newly allocated entry immediately after we've
exposed it by setting "vma->anon_vma" to the new value.
We protect against the anon_vma being destroyed by having the SLAB
marked as SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, so the RCU lookup can depend on the
allocation not being destroyed - but it might still be free'd and
re-allocated here to a new vma.
As a result, we should not do the anon_vma list ops on a newly allocated
vma without proper locking.

Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.
put_pending_exception runs under dm_snapshot->lock, it does atomic_dec_and_test
on primary_pe->ref_count, and later does atomic_read primary_pe->ref_count.
__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding
dm_snapshot->lock.
This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
primary_pe->ref_count == 2.
CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
.. decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios
CPU2:
if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) {
flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios));
free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
/* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */
return r;
}
.. decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees
primary_pe.
CPU1:
if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe)
free_pending_exception(pe);
.. this has no effect.
if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
.. sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !!
This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.
If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).
If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.
The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).
This race may be reason for bugs:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825
The patch fixes the code to make sure that:
1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process
must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under
us).
2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process
is responsible for freeing primary_pe.
Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order
of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential
writes with O_SYNC on.
The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...
[conv=notrunc when updating]
1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)
10M 100M 1000M
create,dd 511.46 610.72 11.81
create,dd+fsync 7.10 6.77 8.13
update,dd 431.63 917.41 12.75
update,dd+fsync 7.79 7.43 8.12
compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.
Although still not on par with plain LV performance -
cannot be avoided because it's copy on write anyway -
this simple patch successfully improves throughtput
of dd+fsync while not affecting the rest.

This patch (as1152) may help prevent some problems associated with the
new policy of unbinding drivers that don't support suspend/resume or
pre_reset/post_reset. If for any reason the resume or reset fails, and
the device is logically disconnected, there's no point in trying to
rebind the driver. So the patch checks for success before carrying
out the unbind/rebind.
There was a report from one user that this fixed a problem he was
experiencing, but the details never became fully clear. In any case,
adding these tests can't hurt.

x86 ACPI: Fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel
We are now using per CPU GDT tables in head_64.S and the original
early_gdt_descr.address is invalidated after boot by
setup_per_cpu_areas(). This breaks resume from suspend to RAM on
x86_64 UP systems using SMP kernels, because this part of head_64.S
is also executed during the resume and the invalid GDT address
causes the system to crash. It doesn't break on 'true' SMP systems,
because early_gdt_descr.address is modified every time
native_cpu_up() runs. However, during resume it should point to the
GDT of the boot CPU rather than to another CPU's GDT.
For this reason, during suspend to RAM always make
early_gdt_descr.address point to the boot CPU's GDT.
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11568, which
is a regression from 2.6.26.

It's OK to request the value of *any* GPIO; most GPIOs are bidirectional,
so configuring them as outputs just enables an output driver and doesn't
disable the input logic.
So the problem is that gpio_get_value_cansleep() isn't making the same
sanity check that gpio_get_value() does: making sure this GPIO isn't one
of the atypical "no input logic" cases.

Olaf Kirch noticed that the i915_set_status_page() function of the i915
kernel driver calls ioremap with an address offset that is supplied by
userspace via ioctl. The function zeroes the mapped memory via memset
and tells the hardware about the address. Turns out that access to that
ioctl is not restricted to root so users could probably exploit that to
do nasty things. We haven't tried to write actual exploit code though.
It only affects the Intel G33 series and newer.

The new composite framework revealed a weakness in the
s3c2410_udc driver gadget register function. Instead of
checking if speed asked for was USB_LOW_SPEED upon
usb_gadget_register() to deny service, it checked only
for USB_FULL_SPEED, thus denying service to usb high
speed capable gadgets (like g_ether).
This patch (as1149) fixes an obscure problem in OHCI polling. In the
current code, if the RHSC interrupt status flag turns on at a time
when RHSC interrupts are disabled, it will remain on forever:
The interrupt handler is the only place where RHSC status
gets turned back off;
The interrupt handler won't turn RHSC status off because it
doesn't turn off status flags if the corresponding interrupt
isn't enabled;
RHSC interrupts will never get enabled because
ohci_root_hub_state_changes() doesn't reenable RHSC if RHSC
status is on!
As a result we will continue polling indefinitely instead of reverting
to interrupt-driven operation, and the root hub will not autosuspend.
This particular sequence of events is not at all unusual; in fact
plugging a USB device into an OHCI controller will usually cause it to
occur.
Of course, this is a bug. The proper thing to do is to turn off RHSC
status just before reading the actual port status values. That way
either a port status change will be detected (if it occurs before the
status read) or it will turn RHSC back on. Possibly both, but that
won't hurt anything.
We can still check for systems in which RHSC is totally broken, by
re-reading RHSC after clearing it and before reading the port
statuses. (This re-read has to be done anyway, to post the earlier
write.) If RHSC is on but no port-change statuses are set, then we
know that RHSC is broken and we can avoid re-enabling it.

This patch (as1134) attempts to improve the way we handle OHCI
controllers with broken Root Hub Status Change interrupt support. In
these controllers the RHSC interrupt bit essentially never turns off,
making RHSC interrupts useless -- they have to remain permanently
disabled.
Such controllers should still be allowed to turn off their root hubs
when no devices are attached. Polling for new connections can
continue while the root hub is suspended. The patch implements this
feature. (It won't have much effect unless CONFIG_PM is enabled and
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is disabled, but since the overhead is very small
we may as well do it.)

When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just break
out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing
the xfs-internal read-only flag. This will only show up on some
operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS
which thinks this filesystem is r/w. Eventually we should replace the
XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to make

Lockdep warns about the mdio_lock taken with interrupts enabled then later
taken from interrupt context. Initially, I considered changing these
to spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq, but then I looked at atl1e_phy_init()
and saw that it calls msleep(). Sleeping while holding a spinlock is
not allowed either.
In the probe path, we haven't registered the interrupt handler, so
it can't poke at this card yet. It's before we call register_netdev(),
so I don't think any other threads can reach this card either. If I'm
right, we don't need a spinlock at all.

When we do a seekdir() or equivalent, we usually end up doing a
FindFirst call and then call FindNext until we get to the offset that we
want. The problem is that when we call FindNext, the code usually
doesn't have the proper info (mostly, the filename of the entry from the
last search) to resume the search.
Add a "last_entry" field to the cifs_search_info that points to the last
entry in the search. We calculate this pointer by using the
LastNameOffset field from the search parms that are returned. We then
use that info to do a cifs_save_resume_key before we call CIFSFindNext.
This patch allows CIFS to reliably pass the "telldir" connectathon test.
