Previously, it was possible for ack_mmc_irqs() to clear pending interrupt
bits in the CTL_STATUS register, even though the interrupt handler had not
been called. This was because of a race that existed when doing a
read-modify-write sequence on CTL_STATUS. After the read step in this
sequence, if an interrupt occurred (causing one of the bits in CTL_STATUS
to be set) the write step would inadvertently clear it.
Observed with the TMIO_STAT_RXRDY bit together with CMD53 on AR6002 and
BCM4318 SDIO cards in polled mode.
This patch eliminates this race by only writing to CTL_STATUS and clearing
the interrupts that were passed as an argument to ack_mmc_irqs()."

The gcov-kernel infrastructure expects that each object file is loaded
only once. This may not be true, e.g. when loading multiple kernel
modules which are linked to the same object file. As a result, loading
such kernel modules will result in incorrect gcov results while unloading
will cause a null-pointer dereference.
This patch fixes these problems by changing the gcov-kernel infrastructure
so that multiple profiling data sets can be associated with one debugfs
entry. It applies to 2.6.36-rc1.

Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things.
1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer
2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer
3) shows what triggers are set on any functions
3 is independent from 1 and 2.
The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine,
and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks
when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync
and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops.
Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app
dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the
set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter).
A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for
a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the
set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the
next major release.

commit c2c6ca4 (direct-io: do not merge logically non-contiguous requests)
introduced a bug whereby all O_DIRECT I/Os were submitted a page at a time
to the block layer. The problem is that the code expected
dio->block_in_file to correspond to the current page in the dio. In fact,
it corresponds to the previous page submitted via submit_page_section.
This was purely an oversight, as the dio->cur_page_fs_offset field was
introduced for just this purpose. This patch simply uses the correct
variable when calculating whether there is a mismatch between contiguous
logical blocks and contiguous physical blocks (as described in the
comments).
I also switched the if conditional following this check to an else if, to
ensure that we never call dio_bio_submit twice for the same dio (in
theory, this should not happen, anyway).
I've tested this by running blktrace and verifying that a 64KB I/O was
submitted as a single I/O. I also ran the patched kernel through
xfstests' aio tests using xfs, ext4 (with 1k and 4k block sizes) and btrfs
and verified that there were no regressions as compared to an unpatched
kernel.

ahci_do_softreset() compared the current time and deadline in reverse
when calculating timeout for SRST issue. The result is that if
@deadline is in future, SRST is issued with 0 timeout, which hasn't
caused any problem because it later waits for DRDY with the correct
timeout. If deadline is already exceeded by the time SRST is about to
be issued, the timeout calculation underflows and if the device
doesn't respond, timeout doesn't trigger for a _very_ long time.

This patch fixes a crash during shutdown reported below. The crash is
caused by accessing already freed task structs. The fix changes the
order for registering and unregistering notifier callbacks.
All notifiers must be initialized before buffers start working. To
stop buffer synchronization we cancel all workqueues, unregister the
notifier callback and then flush all buffers. After all of this we
finally can free all tasks listed.
This should avoid accessing freed tasks.

The swap code already uses synchronous discards, no need to add I/O
barriers.
This fixes the worst of the terrible slowdown in swap allocation for
hibernation, reported on 2.6.35 by Nigel Cunningham; but does not entirely
eliminate that regression.
Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs
show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware
updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting
completion at the block layer. While discard at swapon still shows as
slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating
is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV).
Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help
for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements.
So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping
conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using
only the lower 16 bits of int flags).
We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in
/etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.
Move the hibernation check from scan_swap_map() into try_to_free_swap():
to catch not only the common case when hibernation's allocation itself
triggers swap reuse, but also the less likely case when concurrent page
reclaim (shrink_page_list) might happen to try_to_free_swap from a page.
Hibernation already clears __GFP_IO from the gfp_allowed_mask, to stop
reclaim from going to swap: check that to prevent swap reuse too.

* Add missing codec IDs.
* Modify some existing codec names for discrete GPUs to match newly
added IDs. Note: existing names were a mixture of marketing and

For devices with more than one control interface, let's assume the first
one contains the audio controls. Unfortunately, there is no field in any
of the descriptors to tell us whether a control interface is for audio
or MIDI controls, so a better check is not easy to implement.
On a composite device with audio and MIDI functions, for example, the
code currently overwrites chip->ctrl_intf, causing operations on the
control interface to fail if they are issued after the device probe.
snd_hda_parse_pin_def_config() has some workaround for re-assigning
some pins declared as headphones to line-outs. This didn't work properly
for some cases because it used memmove() stupidly wrongly.
Due to the wrong "return" in the loop, a capture substream won't be
released at disconnection properly if the device is capture only and has
no playback substream. This caused Oops occasionally at the device
reconnection.
The error handling in snd_seq_oss_open() has several bad codes that
do dereferecing released pointers and double-free of kmalloc'ed data.
The object dp is release in free_devinfo() that is called via
private_free callback. The rest shouldn't touch this object any more.
The patch changes delete_port() to call kfree() in any case, and gets
rid of unnecessary calls of destructors in snd_seq_oss_open().
The Line and Mic inputs cannot be used at the same time, so the driver
has to automatically disable one of them if both are set. However, it
forgot to notify userspace about this change, so the mixer state would
be inconsistent. To fix this, check if the other control gets muted,
and send a notification event in this case.
For the WM8776 chip, this driver uses a different sample format and
more features than the Windows driver. When rebooting from Linux into
Windows, the latter driver does not reset the chip but assumes all its
registers have their default settings, so we get garbled sound or, if
the output happened to be muted before rebooting, no sound.
To make that driver happy, hook our driver's cleanup function into the
shutdown notifier and ensure that the chip gets reset.
The Audio Class v2 support code in 2.6.35 added checks for the
bInterfaceProtocol field. However, there are devices (usually those
detected by vendor-specific quirks) that do not have one of the
predefined values in this field, which made the driver reject them.
To fix this regression, restore the old behaviour, i.e., assume that
a device with an unknown bInterfaceProtocol field (other than
UAC_VERSION_2) has more or less UAC-v1-compatible descriptors.

Certain USB devices, such as the Nokia X6 mobile phone, don't expose any
endpoint descriptors on some of their interfaces. If the ACM driver is forced

The command endpoint is either a bulk or interrupt endpoint, but using

Detect which type of endpoint it is and use a bulk/int URB as
appropriate. There are other function calls specifying a bulk pipe,
but usb_clear_halt doesn't use the pipe type (only the endpoint) and
usb_bulk_msg auto-detects interrupt transfers.

When using the remove sysfs file, the device configuration is set to -1
(unconfigured). This eventually unbind drivers with the bandwidth_mutex
held. Some drivers may call functions that hold said mutex, like
usb_reset_device. This is the case for rtl8187, for example. This will
lead to the same process holding the mutex twice, which deadlocks.
Besides, according to Alan Stern:
"The deadlock problem probably could be handled somehow, but there's a
separate issue: Until the usb_disable_device call finishes unbinding
the drivers, the drivers are free to continue using their allocated
bandwidth. We musn't change the bandwidth allocations until after the
unbinding is done. So this patch is indeed necessary."
Unbinding the driver before holding the bandwidth_mutex solves the
problem. If any operation after that fails, drivers are not bound again.
But that would be a problem anyway that the user may solve resetting the
device configuration to one that works, just like he would need to do in
most other failure cases.

David Bartly reported that fuse can hang in fuse_get_req_nofail() when
the connection to the filesystem server is no longer active.
If bg_queue is not empty then flush_bg_queue() called from
request_end() can put more requests on to the pending queue. If this
happens while ending requests on the processing queue then those
background requests will be queued to the pending list and never
ended.
Another problem is that fuse_dev_release() didn't wake up processes
sleeping on blocked_waitq.
Solve this by:
a) flushing the background queue before calling end_requests() on the
pending and processing queues
b) setting blocked = 0 and waking up processes waiting on
blocked_waitq()
Increased storvsc ringbuffer and max_io_requests. This now more
closely mimics the numbers on Hyper-V. And will allow more IO requests
to take place for the SCSI driver.
Max_IO is set to double from what it was before, Hyper-V allows it and
we have had appliance builder requests to see if it was a problem to
increase the number.
Ringbuffer size for storvsc is now increased because I have seen A few buffer
problems on extremely busy systems. They were Set pretty low before.
And since max_io_requests is increased I Really needed to increase the buffer
as well.
Fixed the value of the 64bit-hole inside ring buffer, this
caused a problem on Hyper-V when running checked Windows builds.
Checked builds of Windows are used internally and given to external
system integrators at times. They are builds that for example that all
elements in a structure follow the definition of that Structure. The bug
this fixed was for a field that we did not fill in at all (Because we do
Not use it on the Linux side), and the checked build of windows gives
errors on it internally to the Windows logs.

Fix missing functions for net_device_ops.
It's a bug when porting the drivers from 2.6.27 to 2.6.32. In 2.6.27,
the default functions for Ethernet, like eth_change_mtu(), were assigned
by ether_setup(). But in 2.6.32, these function pointers moved to
net_device_ops structure and no longer be assigned in ether_setup(). So
we need to set these functions in our driver code. It will ensure the
MTU won't be set beyond 1500. Otherwise, this can cause an error on the
server side, because the HyperV linux driver doesn't support jumbo frame
yet.
Since ALC259/269 use the same parser of ALC268, the pin 0x1b was ignored

If we write into an unwritten extent using AIO we need to complete the AIO
request after the extent conversion has finished. Without that a read could
race to see see the extent still unwritten and return zeros. For synchronous
I/O we already take care of that by flushing the xfsconvertd workqueue (which
might be a bit of overkill).
To do that add iocb and result fields to struct xfs_ioend, so that we can
call aio_complete from xfs_end_io after the extent conversion has happened.
Note that we need a new result field as io_error is used for positive errno
values, while the AIO code can return negative error values and positive
transfer sizes.

This patch is to be applied upon Christoph's "direct-io: move aio_complete

so that we can call aio_complete from ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent

I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few
runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/19659 for details.
Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request
until the transaction to convert the extent has been commited. That means
the aio_complete calls needs to be moved into the ->end_io callback so
that the filesystem can control when to call it exactly.
This makes a bit of a mess out of dio_complete and the ->end_io callback
prototype even more complicated.

- Restore the previous behaviour of read_msi_msg_desc()
- Add new functions get_cached_msi_msg{,_desc}() which return the
last MSI message written
- Use the new functions where appropriate

During suspend on an SMP system, {read,write}_msi_msg_desc() may be
called to mask and unmask interrupts on a device that is already in a
reduced power state. At this point memory-mapped registers including
MSI-X tables are not accessible, and config space may not be fully
functional either.
While a device is in a reduced power state its interrupts are
effectively masked and its MSI(-X) state will be restored when it is
brought back to D0. Therefore these functions can simply read and
write msi_desc::msg for devices not in D0.
Further, read_msi_msg_desc() should only ever be used to update a
previously written message, so it can always read msi_desc::msg
and never needs to touch the hardware.

TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
sync'd across cpu's) during resume.
This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
idle cpu's after suspend/resume.
This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.
Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
suspend.
Writeback is not terminating in background writeback if ->writepage is
returning with wbc->nr_to_write == 0, resulting in sub-optimal single page
writeback on XFS.
Fix the write_cache_pages loop to terminate correctly when this situation
occurs and so prevent this sub-optimal background writeback pattern. This
improves sustained sequential buffered write performance from around
250MB/s to 750MB/s for a 100GB file on an XFS filesystem on my 8p test VM.

Fix DSM/TRIM commands in sata_mv (v2).
These need to be issued using old-school "BM DMA",
rather than via the EDMA host queue.
Since the chips don't have proper BM DMA status,
we need to be more careful with setting the ATA_DMA_INTR bit,
since DSM/TRIM often has a long delay between "DMA complete"
and "command complete".
GEN_I chips don't have BM DMA, so no TRIM for them.

Under heavy load parallel metadata loads (e.g. dbench), we can fail
to mark all the inodes in a cluster being freed as XFS_ISTALE as we
skip inodes we cannot get the XFS_ILOCK_EXCL or the flush lock on.
When this happens and the inode cluster buffer has already been
marked stale and freed, inode reclaim can try to write the inode out
as it is dirty and not marked stale. This can result in writing th
metadata to an freed extent, or in the case it has already
been overwritten trigger a magic number check failure and return an
EUCLEAN error such as:
Filesystem "ram0": inode 0x442ba1 background reclaim flush failed with 117
Fix this by ensuring that we hoover up all in memory inodes in the
cluster and mark them XFS_ISTALE when freeing the cluster.

Commit 7124fe0a5b619d65b739477b3b55a20bf805b06d ("xfs: validate untrusted inode
numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for
untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the
alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the
cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered
invalid when they were actually valid.
The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr
and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot
inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently
exercised to uncover this intermittent problem.
Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the
record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an
incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid.

IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such:
- use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and
- handle them with handle_percpu_irq
This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient
(no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts
to migrate them.

Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event
upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set.
As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq.
This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of
events getting lost if:
- an event's interrupt handler is running
- the event is migrated to a different vcpu
- the event is re-triggered
The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups
of blkfront.

were packaged both as AM2 (desktop) and ASB1 (mobile). Thus the commit
leads to wrong temperature reporting for AM2 CPU parts.
The solution is to determine the package type for models 0x6b, 0x6f,
0x7f.

Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the
actual timer function is not recorded in the trace at the start
of timer execution.
Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets
armed), this is not useful; most timers get started early, and a
tracer like PowerTOP will never see this event, but will only
see the actual running of the timer.
This patch just adds the function to the timer tracing; I've
verified with PowerTOP that now it can get useful information
about timers.

There is a scalability issue for current implementation of optimistic
mutex spin in the kernel. It is found on a 8 node 64 core Nehalem-EX
system (HT mode).
The intention of the optimistic mutex spin is to busy wait and spin on a
mutex if the owner of the mutex is running, in the hope that the mutex
will be released soon and be acquired, without the thread trying to
acquire mutex going to sleep. However, when we have a large number of
threads, contending for the mutex, we could have the mutex grabbed by
other thread, and then another ……, and we will keep spinning, wasting cpu
cycles and adding to the contention. One possible fix is to quit
spinning and put the current thread on wait-list if mutex lock switch to
a new owner while we spin, indicating heavy contention (see the patch
included).
I did some testing on a 8 socket Nehalem-EX system with a total of 64
cores. Using Ingo's test-mutex program that creates/delete files with 256
threads (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) , I see the following speed up
after putting in the mutex spin fix:
./mutex-test V 256 10
Ops/sec
2.6.34 62864
With fix 197200
Repeating the test with Aim7 fserver workload, again there is a speed up
with the fix:
Jobs/min
2.6.34 91657
With fix 149325
To look at the impact on the distribution of mutex acquisition time, I
collected the mutex acquisition time on Aim7 fserver workload with some
instrumentation. The average acquisition time is reduced by 48% and
number of contentions reduced by 32%.
#contentions Time to acquire mutex (cycles)
2.6.34 72973 44765791
With fix 49210 23067129
The histogram of mutex acquisition time is listed below. The acquisition
time is in 2^bin cycles. We see that without the fix, the acquisition
time is mostly around 2^26 cycles. With the fix, we the distribution get
spread out a lot more towards the lower cycles, starting from 2^13.
However, there is an increase of the tail distribution with the fix at
2^28 and 2^29 cycles. It seems a small price to pay for the reduced
average acquisition time and also getting the cpu to do useful work.
I've done similar experiments with 2.6.35 kernel on smaller boxes as
well. One is on a dual-socket Westmere box (12 cores total, with HT).
Another experiment is on an old dual-socket Core 2 box (4 cores total, no
HT)
On the 12-core Westmere box, I see a 250% increase for Ingo's mutex-test
program with my mutex patch but no significant difference in aim7's
fserver workload.
On the 4-core Core 2 box, I see the difference with the patch for both
mutex-test and aim7 fserver are negligible.
So far, it seems like the patch has not caused regression on smaller
systems.

Add ftdi product ID for Lenz LI-USB, a model train interface. This
was NOT tested against 2.6.35, but a similar patch was tested with the
CentOS 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 kernel. It wasn't clear to me what
ordering is being used in ftdi_sio.c, so I inserted the ID after another
model train entry(SPROG_II).
The code to increment the TRB pointer has a slight ambiguity that could
lead to a bug on different compilers. The ANSI C specification does not
specify the precedence of the assignment operator over the postfix
operator. gcc 4.4 produced the correct code (increment the pointer and
assign the value), but a MIPS compiler that one of John's clients used
assigned the old (unincremented) value.
Remove the unnecessary assignment to make all compilers produce the
correct assembly.

Each net_device in a system will automatically managed as a possible
batman_if and holds different informations like a buffer with a prepared
originator messages. To reduce the memory usage, the packet_buff will
only be allocated when the interface is really added/enabled for
batman-adv.
The function to update the hw address information inside the packet_buff
just assumes that the packet_buff is always initialised and thus the
kernel will just oops when we try to change the hw address of a not
already fully enabled interface.
We must always check if the packet_buff is allocated before we try to
change information inside of it.

dev_put allows a device to be freed when all its references are dropped.
After that we are not allowed to access that information anymore. Access
to the data structure of a net_device must be surrounded a dev_hold
and ended using dev_put.
batman-adv adds a device to its own management structure in
hardif_add_interface and will release it in hardif_remove_interface.
Thus it must hold a reference all the time between those functions to
prevent any access to the already released net_device structure.

We try to get all events for all net_devices to be able to add special

events like NETDEV_POST_INIT which has no valid kobject according to v2.6.32-rc3-13-g7ffbe3f. This would create an oops in that situation.
It is enough to create the batman_if only on NETDEV_REGISTER events
because we will also receive those events for devices which already
existed when we registered the notifier call.

Userspace controls the amount of memory to be allocate, so it can
get the ioctl to allocate more memory than the kernel uses, and get
access to kernel stack. This can only be done for processes authenticated

Fix is to just memset the data to 0 if the user doesn't copy into
