Intel8x0 driver
From: Giridhar Pemmasani <giri@lmc.cs.sunysb.edu>
It seems that pci config space is messed up after resume for Intel ICH4
audio controller (on Dell Latitude D600, but I notice that others also
complain about this problem). Consequently resume from S3 causes oops with
snd_intel8x0 module. If the module is removed before suspend and loaded
afterwards, I still get oops. The following simple patch fixes the
problem. With this, I can leave alsa untouched during suspend/resume.

[PATCH] PATCH: Do something about aacraid
This is a fairly minimal fix for aacraid. It removes the happy cast
pointers to u32 garbage in the 2.6 code and replaces it with the working
2.4 equivalents. I've not backported any of the other changes from 2.4 to
2.6 yet, and some things have gone which are good to be gone (eg the
proc/scsi horror). There is a certain amount of white space noise caused
by realigning with the 2.4 code so I could see what was going on.
Tested on a dual opteron

Make st support the scsi_device timeout
From: Brian King <brking@us.ibm.com>

Following a prior patch, we made cancel the sole
route into deleted, but forgot to update the
state model checks to reflect this.
offline and created also go to cancel
<dougg@torque.net>
[PATCH] st.c for GET_IDLUN
A little more testing of st's SG_IO ioctl turned up a
small problem.
This is the corresponding patch that was applied to the
sd driver when it received the block layer SG_IO ioctl.
For least surprise of lk 2.4 utilities that use the
SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN and SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER
ioctls (e.g. sg_map) it is better to return the correct
values rather than 0.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>

[PATCH] fix-sysfs-symlinks.patch
- Rediffed the patch for 2.6.6-mm3 to fix rejects in the latest changes
in sysfs code.
o The symlinks code in sysfs doesnot point to the correct target kobject
whenever target kobject is renamed and suffers from dangling symlinks
if target kobject is removed.
o The following patch implements ->readlink and ->follow_link operations
for sysfs instead of using the page_symlink_inode_operations.
The pointer to target kobject is saved in the link dentry's d_fsdata field.
The target path is generated everytime we do ->readlink and ->follow_link.
This results in generating the correct target path during readlink and
follow_link operations inspite of renamed target kobject.
o This also pins the target kobject during link creation and the ref. is
released when the link is removed.
o Apart from being correct this patch also saves some memory by not pinning
a whole page for saving the target information.
o Used a rw_semaphor sysfs_rename_sem to avoid clashing with renaming of
ancestors while the target path is generated.
o Used dcache_lock in fs/sysfs/sysfs.h:sysfs_get_kobject() because of using
d_drop() while removing dentries.

[PATCH] missing closing \n in printk
<perex@suse.cz>
ALSA CVS sync
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Fix a couple of resource bugs.
Fix resource database bug where base + num wraps to zero. Also,
ensure that we always take the resource semaphore whenever we
allocate a resource.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Convert IO resource allocation to use struct resource.
This causes PCMCIA to use struct resource internally for IO resources.
This means that we can keep track of the resource pointer, expand
this resource if necessary, and use release_resource() on it when
we're done.
This eventually means that we can change these to normal resources
which aren't marked busy.

[PATCH] I2C PPC4xx IIC driver: 0-length transaction temporary fix
this patch adds temporary fix for 0-length requests (e.g. SMBUS_QUICK) to
PPC4xx
IIC driver. This i2c controller doesn't support such transactions and this
patch
just restores previous driver version behavior making SMBUS_QUICK-based bus
scan
at least partially usable. This is temporary kludge until correct bit-banging
emulation is implemented.

SCSI: fix Stack overflow when lldd returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY
From: Heiko Carstens <Heiko.Carstens@de.ibm.com>
This happened when sending out the inquiry command and the LLDD was in
recovery for the specific LUN and returned SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY.
Problem is that max_device_blocked gets set _after_ the inquiry command
finished. In this specific case max_device_blocked was 0 and thus the
device was never blocked resulting in the observed stack overflow.
I moved the initializazion of max_device_blocked from scsi_add_lun to
sdev_alloc_sdev and the problem is gone.

[PATCH] tmscsim: 64-bit cleanup
Ok, here comes the first one. I chose this one because it fixes an actual
bug in the driver. This bug was (partially) introduced by myself when
porting to 2.6. Partly the reason was that I disliked using
function-like macros as lvalues:
sg_dma_address(x) = ...
sg_dma_len(x) = ...
[OT] wouldn't it be better to introduce some macros like
set_sg_dma_{address|len}(x, y)?
A part of the original patch has already been merged (s/UINT/ULONG/), so,
the actual version is re-diffed against 2.6.6-bk6 and re-tested (on a
plain Pentium).
Also updates the driver-version, printed on startup.

[PATCH] tmscsim: no internal queue
Here comes the 2nd one. I wanted to get Christoph's patches now in, but
already the first his patch comes on the top of this one: remove internal
command queuing in the driver. And, in fact, it fixes some bugs in it. So,
they should go in together. Here's the original comment from Christoph's
email of 1 Feb 2004:
<start quote>
Patch looks mostly good for me. But there's some fishyness in queuecommand,
mostly from before you patch:
- many failure cases return one with the new EH code although we wouldn't
want to requeue the midlayer in that case. I removed the ifdef and added
a failed goto to handle them.
- we need to set cmd->result onlyh if we have an error instead of always
an overriding it - else it will leak to the midlayer in the return 1
case.
- the check for ids out of range are superflous (this was one of the errors
above, I decided to remove it instead of fixing it).
- you don't do DC390_UNLOCK_ACB when failing. While it's a noop I think
it's bad to have locking macros in place and don't balance them. You
should probably remove it completly in one of the next patches.
- the pDCB->pWaitingSRB looks a bit strange. By unifying the the codepathes
it becomes much more readable.

<g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>
tmscsim: remove procfs write support from tmscsim
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
When looking at the driver after reviewing the changes I stubled over
that code. Almost all of the funcitonality (except DUMP) should go
through the midlayer and will at least cause some confusion if it
doesn't.
Also the implementation isn't exactly nice, like kmalloced scsi commands
and the tytpical 'parsing' macros cut & pasted over all historic scsi
drivers. I think we're better of removing it completly and maybe readd
dump as a sysfs attribute if needed.
500 lines of code gone.

From: garloff@suse.de
Cleanup/Feature
Remove CONFIG_SCSI_REPORT_LUNS config option.
Instead provide BLIST_NOREPORTLUN that can be passed as default_dev_flags
(but also per device if needed).
Provide BLIST_REPORTLUN2 that allows trying to use REPORT_LUNS for SCSI-2
devices, if they are connected to a host adapter supporting more than 8 LUNs
(and thus avoiding the usual USB crap to render this feature useless when
used with default_dev_flags).

SCSI: make inquiry timeout tuneable
From: garloff@suse.de
Feature
Make the timeout for INQUIRY during SCSI scan adjustable via boot parameter.
Note that the second INQUIRY does use a shorter timeout, as the long timeout
is for recovery from the initial reset, not because existing devices would
take so long to answer INQUIRY. SPC3 says that INQUIRY should be available
right away, but real life is different unfortunately.

Here comes the next (trivial) patch. I just want to get it out of the way

modify the object code either. Actually, well, it does - it makes a few
objects, that were previously declared extern static. And removes a couple
more defines.

[Bluetooth] Define .kobj.k_name for the fake device
The PCMCIA devices are not devices for the kernel and the bt3c_cs
driver uses a fake device for calling request_firmware(). The fake

until PCMCIA devices are fully integrated into the driver model.

[ARM] Remove SA1111 PS/2 IRQ_HANDLED handling.
Some SA1111 devices are unable to clear the PS/2 receive IRQ before
it has been serviced, so we always re-enter the handler one more

[IPSEC]: Fix OOPS when deleting an ip address.
Looks like I was too hasty in blaming myself :) Although my patch does
fix a real bug, it cannot have been responsible for the crash that the OP
reported. The reason is that the state timer always keeps a reference to
the state so even if it is incorrectly re-added the reference will prevent
the crash.
Hence the problem is still a bug in the ref counting. I think I've found
the real culprit now. __xfrm?_find_acq() is missing an xfrm_state_hold
on the create path. This also explains why I never see it myself since
Openswan never creates states through that code-path.

[PATCH] USB: /usb/gadget/serial.c warning fix.
that code is generating the fallowing warning:
drivers/usb/gadget/serial.c:162: warning: `debug' defined but not used
When G_SERIAL_DEBUG is not defined, `debug' is not used, because
the gs_debug() function is compiled only when G_SERIAL_DEBUG is
defined.
Thus, a solution is to define `debug' only when G_SERIAL_DEBUG
is defined. That includes the use of `debug' as a module parameter
(this last part I'm not sure).
The patch bellow does that (compiles ok, not tested because I don't
have that hardware):

[PATCH] ppc64: better stack traces
This improves the stack traces we get on PPC64 by putting a marker in
those stack frames that are created as a result of an interrupt or
exception. The marker is "regshere" (0x7265677368657265).
With this, stack traces show where exceptions have occurred, which can
be very useful. This also improves the accuracy of the trace because
the relevant return address can be in the link register at the time of
the exception rather than on the stack. We now print the PC and
exception type for each exception frame, and then the link register if
appropriate as the next item in the trace.

[PATCH] Make early_cpu_detect() set x86_cache_alignment on pre-cpuid CPU's

From: Zdenek Pavlas <pavlas@nextra.cz>
On any x86 without cpuid, early_cpu_detect() left x86_cache_alignment as

[PATCH] ppc64: NUMA fixes
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
From: Anton Blanchard, Dave Hansen and Olof Johansson:
Fix multiple bugs in the ppc64 NUMA topology probe code.
- We were using HW cpu numbers instead of logical ones. 615, 630, 650,
some 670 and some 690 SMP will all fail to boot without this patch.
- The old code would BUG() when it got confused (more NUMA zones than the
kernel is configured for etc).
- The common depth calculation was incorrect. Dave found an OF property
that gives us exactly what we want.
- Things were broken on SMT machines.
The new code should work on those broken systems and should no longer BUG()
but fall back to a flat topology when it gets confused.

[PATCH] dynamic addition of virtual disks on PPC64 iSeries
From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
This patch allows us to dynamically add virtual disks to an iSeries
partition.
It works like this: after you have created the virtual disk file on OS/400
and attached it to the Linux partition, you need to write to
/sys/bus/vio/drivers/viodasd/probe (it doesn't matter what you write). This
will do the probe. It calls add_disk() for each new disk, so we get hotplug
events as a side effect.
This was the nicest way I could think of doing this as the interface to the
hypervisor is polled ...

[PATCH] ppc64: bump IOMMU_MAX_ORDER
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
We have cards that want over 2MB of PCI consistent memory. The
IOMAP_MAX_ORDER limit is just to catch bad drivers early, so we can bump
this a bit.
We want some room to grow but our maximum get_free_pages allocation on
ppc64 is currently 16MB, so it doesnt make sense to go above that.

[PATCH] ppc64: avoid bogus real IRQ numbers
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Early in the boot process on pSeries machines, we look in the Open Firmware
device tree for information about the interrupt assignments, and assign
virtual IRQ numbers for each physical IRQ. There is currently a couple of
bugs in this code which result in us assigning virtual IRQs for nonexistent
physical IRQs. This causes problems when we call the firmware to enable or
disable those nonexistent physical IRQs. Some versions at least of the
firmware will hit an assertion failure and crash the machine when this
happens.
This patch fixes the bugs and ensures that we don't try and use nonexistent
physical IRQ numbers. One bug was that we were mapping ISA interrupts,
which is unnecessary since virtual IRQ numbers 0 - 15 are reserved for
them. The other was that when we had a PCI interrupt (which is always in
the range 1 to 4, corresponding to INTA to INTD) which didn't have a
mapping in the PCI host bridge above it, we were just using the original
number (usually 1) rather than ignoring it.

[PATCH] Prevent scary warnings from knfsd
From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
The kernel currently prints:
nfsd: nobody listening for auth.unix.ip upcall; has some daemon not been
started?
on every bootup, during initscripts.
Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> says:
It was part of the recent set of idmapper patches. Bruce wanted the admin
to get a warning when the idmapper daemon wasn't running. I thought the
same warning should apply to any daemon that responded to upcalls.
In the case of auth.unix.ip it isn't strictly necessary for a daemon to be
running (for comparability with 2.4).
You can get rid of the warning by doing:
mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfs
before mountd is started (init scripts should start doing this I hope, but
distributions don't tend to use the init script from nfs-utils, so it is
hard to push it). This will trigger mountd to listen on auth.unix.ip and
others.
That's a hassle, so Bruce's patch limits the warning purely to the new
idmapper cache. It provides a callback in the cache_detail that individual
caches can use to log messages when upcalls fail because a userspace daemon
not running. Implement this method for the idmapping caches.

[PATCH] Fix the mangled-oops-output-on-SMP problem
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
printk currently does
if (oops_in_progres)
bust_printk_locks();
which means that once we oops, the printk locking is 100% ineffective and
multiple CPUs make an unreadable mess on a serial console. It's a
significant
development hassle.
Fix that up by only popping locks once per ten seconds.
akpm@osdl.org did:
- Bump the timeout to 30 seconds - 9600 baud is slow.
- Handle jiffy wraps: change the logic so that we only skip the lockbust
if the current time is within 30 seconds of the previous lockbusting
attempt.

[PATCH] ep_send_events() stack reduction
ep_send_events() uses ~350 bytes of stack for a local buffer of events to

<davidel@xmailserver.org> was sped up by 1-2%.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] Fix race condition with current->group_info
From: Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>
I have been chasing a corruption of current->group_info on PPC during NFS
stress tests. The problem seems to be that nfsd is messing with its
group_info quite a bit, while some monitoring processes look at
/proc/<pid>/status and do a get_group_info/put_group_info without any
locking.
This problem can be reproduced on ppc platforms within a few seconds if you
generate some NFS load and do a "cat /proc/XXX/status" of an nfsd thread in a
tight loop.
I therefore think changes to current->group_info, and querying it from a
different process, needs to be protected using the task_lock.
(akpm: task->group_info here is safe against exit() because the task holds a
ref on group_info which is released in __put_task_struct, and the /proc file
has a ref on the task_struct).

[PATCH] initramfs uncpio fix
From: <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
init/initramfs.c::do_skip() has an off-by-one that leads to unpacking
failures for some gzipped cpio images. We have
static int __init do_skip(void)
{
if (this_header + count <= next_header) {
eat(count);
return 1;
} else {
eat(next_header - this_header);
state = next_state;
return 0;
}
}
and that <= should actually be <. It almost never matters, since if we hit
the boundary case (header ending exactly on the gunzip window end) the
current variant will simply end up doing extra call of do_skip() when we
get to the next window and that will finish the work (assign state). The
only exception is when we hit that in the last window. That is, if there's
nothing after the final header (trailer). Then we miss the final state
transition (Skip -> Reset) and get "junk in archive" panic. Normally
cpio(1) pads the image to multiple of 512, so we actually have a bunch of
zeroes after the trailer. And that almost always saves our butts - trailer
is followed by zeroes, so we get to Reset state just fine.
So we never see that on small in-kernel image (it's less than 512 bytes, so
it gets a lot of padding) and we almost never see that on external ones
(1:127 odds of hitting the bug).

[PATCH] Fix for lockup in reiserfs acl/xattrs
From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
The following is a patch to fix a locking problem in ACL/xattr code. It
manifests when a user attempts to set an xattr on a file which they do
not own, and on which an ACL is applied.
What happens is this:
reiserfs_setxattr [write lock inode xattr sem]
->xattr_set
-> lookup
-> __reiserfs_permission [if conditions above are met, and need_lock=
is
unset, read lock inode xattr sem] *lockup*
Since we already keep track of when to lock during permission calls, the
fix is simple: just make the locking conditional as it was before.

It seems eccentric to implement MAP_POPULATE only on PROT_NONE mappings:
do_mmap_pgoff is passing down prot, then sys_remap_file_pages verifies it's

to sys_remap_file_pages was misdesigned.

adding instructions to the function prolog to check the stack pointer

[PATCH] USB: Initially read 9 bytes of config descriptor
This patch reads the full 9 bytes of a configuration descriptor during
enumeration rather than just the first 8 bytes. That's how Windows does
it, and today I ran across a device that doesn't work properly when asked
to send only 8 bytes worth. I doubt very much this will cause any
problems with currently-working devices; since the descriptor itself is 9
bytes long and since the devices are most likely to expect a 9-byte
request, anything that can handle an 8-byte request should have no
difficulty. (Also, some debugging messages have been slightly improved.)
Incidentally, USB traces taken from Windows 2000 and Windows XP show that
when those operating systems retrieve a string descriptor during
enumeration, they do so by requesting a 255-byte transfer. They do not
first ask just for the initial 2 bytes (which contain the actual length)
and then ask for the actual length, which is what we do. Interestingly,
back in 2.4 we _did_ do things the same as Windows.

[PATCH] USB UHCI: allow URBs to be unlinked when IRQs don't work
A lot of people with USB controllers made by VIA have been suffering from
the fact that these controllers stop working when they receive a babble
packet. In particular, they stop generating interrupt requests. Since
the UHCI driver relies on IRQs from the controller for proper timing and
interlocking of unlink requests, this means that those broken controllers
will hang the UHCI driver and drivers for any device connected through it.
This patch, written by Herbert Xu, gives the UCHI driver the ability to
manage the unlink procedure using timer interrupts as well as controller
interrupts. (It also fixes a race in the UHCI irq handler.) Although it
won't prevent the VIA controllers from flaking out when they encounter
babble, at least now users will be able to rmmod the uhci-hcd driver and
then reload it, restoring their systems back to normal operation (until
the next babble!).
P.S.: Herbert, there's one loose end I still want to tie up. When the
controller isn't running (i.e., is suspended) the frame number won't
change, but unlinks still need to work. It's a small point, not too
likely to come up in normal usage. I'll fix it later on when I update the
state-changing part of the driver.

This patch changes all the occurrences of "driverfs" in usbcore to "sysfs"
-- I just couldn't stand seeing the out-of-date name any more (and I kept
confusing it with usbfs, don't know why).
Although I did a "bk mv driverfs.c sysfs.c" when creating the patch, the
exported patch file itself doesn't reflect that very well. It looks like
driverfs.c was deleted and sysfs.c created from scratch. If you prefer, I
can resubmit this in a slightly different form, with the file name
unchanged so that you can issue the "bk mv" command in your repository
after applying the patch.

[PATCH] USB: Add usb_release_address() and move usb_set_address()
This patch adds usb_release_address() as a complement to
usb_choose_address(), to centralize the work required when freeing an
allocated device address. It also moves the usb_set_address() routine
from usb.c to hub.c -- which is the only place it is ever used -- and
renames it to hub_set_address().
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Make usb_choose_configuration() a separate subroutine
This patch creates a separate subroutine to encapsulate the work required
in choosing an initial configuration for a device. In my opinion that
reflects a policy decision that should be kept apart from all the other
work involved in creating a new device structure. The existing code in
usb_new_device() is simply moved into usb_choose_configuration().
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
[PATCH] USB: Gonzo variable renaming in hub.c
As part of the cleanup effort, I wanted to name all the variables in hub.c
uniformly. Currently there are different names for the same thing in
different routines, and the same names are used for different things --
it's impossible to keep things straight. I also wanted to step away from
the deplorable practice of naming everything "dev". It is not an
exaggeration that up until relatively recently one of the drivers (not the
hub driver, fortunately!) contained a line which looked basically like
this:
dev->dev.dev = &intf->dev;
If you can make sense out of that, you're a better code reader than I am!
Ranting aside, this patch institutes the following name scheme for local
variables in hub.c:
hub: struct usb_hub
hdev: hub's corresponding struct usb_device
hub_dev: hub interface's embedded struct device
udev: general struct usb_device
There are a couple of genuine code changes hidden in there too. Just
trivial things, like creating a local hub_dev variable for use in place of
&hub->intf->dev.

selector to match for xfrm_policy_bysel. Trivial fix is to have spddelete
set the family field in the selector in same way spdadd does.

Split ptep_establish into "establish" and "update_access_flags"
ptep_establish() is used to establish a new mapping at COW time,
and it always replaces a non-writable page mapping with a totally
new page mapping that is dirty (and likely writable, although ptrace
may cause a non-writable new mapping). Because it was nonwritable,
we don't have to worry about losing concurrent dirty page bit updates.
ptep_update_access_flags() leaves the same page mapping, but updates
the accessed/dirty/writable bits (it only ever sets them, and never
removes any permissions). Often easier, but it may race with a dirty
bit update on another CPU.
Booted on x86 and ppc64.

[PATCH] PCI: restore pci config space on resume
The patch below enhances the PCI layer with 2 things
1) enable and busmaster state are stored in the pci device struct
2) pci config space is stored to the pci device struct
with that, it is possible to make a generic pci resume method that restores
config space and reenables the device, including busmaster when appropriate.
One can rightfully argue that the driver resume method should do this, and
yes that is right. So the patch only does it for devices that don't have a
resume method. Like the main PCI bridge on my testbox of which the bios so
nicely forgets to restore the bus master bit during resume.. With this patch
my testbox resumes just fine while it, well, wasn't all too happy as you can
imagine without a busmaster pci bridge.

[PATCH] posix locks oops fix
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
There is a race between unshare_files() and the following steal_locks().
As a consequence, steal_locks() may steal some additional FL_POSIX locks
that don't belong to the current thread. This triggers a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().
In detail, the current thread shares its files struct with other threads.
This causes unshare_files() to associate the current thread with a copy of
its files_struct. The copy shares all file objects with the original files
struct. In the time between unshare_files() and steal_locks(), another
thread creates a new file and a FL_POSIX lock on it. The current thread
gets into steal_locks() and takes over all FL_POSIX locks that refer to the
previous files_struct, including the new lock. We do
put_files_struct(original files_struct). This causes the file handle to
the new file to be closed. We get into locks_remove_posix() and miss the
lock, because its fl_owner field now refers to the new files_struct.
Finally we get into locks_remove_flock(), and stumble upon the lock.
While looking into this bug report I gathered the following data with a
SUSE kernel (oops and LKCD dump from Chris):

[PATCH] Set d_bucket correctly for anonymous dentries
From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
In researching the oopses reported in bug #2761, Neil came up with:
I have found one problem, but it isn't particularly new and I cannot
see how it would be related.
When d_alloc_anon creates an anonymous dentry, it is put on a special hash
chain for anonymous dentries (sb->s_anon), but d_bucket is set to
d_hash(parent, name_hash)
If, when it is eventually moved to a proper name, that hash value is the same
as the final hash value, it will not be moved to the right bucket, and so it
not be accessible by name. This patch should fix it.
anonymous dentries have their own private hash "bucket" (sb->s_anon) and so
d_bucket should be set to a unique (impossible) address, else d_move will
get confused.

[PATCH] CPU Hotplug: restore Idle task's priority during CPU_DEAD
notification
From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com>
Fix a CPU Hotplug problem wherein idle task's "->prio" value is not
restored to MAX_PRIO during CPU_DEAD handling. Without this patch, once a
CPU is offlined and then later onlined, it becomes "more or less" useless
(does not run any task other than its idle task!)
Ingo said:
The __setscheduler() call is (technically) incorrect because in the
SCHED_NORMAL case the prio should be zero. So it's a bit cleaner to set up
the static priority to MAX_PRIO and then revert the policy to SCHED_NORMAL
via __setscheduler().

[netdrvr ixgb] massive update
Since Intel agreed to submit further updates via broken-up patches
like they do currently (and admirably) for e1000 and e100, I agreed
to merge this update to bring the driver up to speed.
Contributed by: Ayyappan.Veeraiyan@intel.com
Changes:
Features implemented
* Support for new 850nm adapters.
* Copyright notice updated to include year 2004.
* Fix for "ixgb does not maintain non-default MTU setting across a
link loss" issue - When link loss happens in non-default MTU
environment, driver will incorrectly operate with default 1500 MTU
setting.
* Netpoll support added
* Ethtool support - status functionality, FlowControl interface,
Checksum interface, TSO and Scatter Gather interfaces
* Race condition fix - Race condition (TX path) exists between
ixgb_xmit_frame and clean_tx_irq routines in handling the queue.
* Removed dead code segments (#if 0)
Performance improvement features
* Mod operator usage is removed - used to cause performance
problems in non-IA architecture based machines
* Multiple ICR register read in ISR is avoided
* RS bit set on only 'end of packet' TX descriptors - to avoid
multiple writebacks by controller for packets with multiple descriptors.
* RX descriptors prefetch is done - improved 1500 MTU TX
performance
All relevant e1000 driver cleanups ported to ixgb
* Valid error propagation in functions ixgb_up, ixgb_probe,
ixgb_open.
* NAPI code cleanups
* u8, u16 and u32 data types are changed to uint8_t, uint16_t and
uint32_t respectively. We use these types on our shared code for
multiple OSes and also to make it uniform with e1000 driver.
* Some functions in ixgb_main.c are moved to different location -
This enables easy porting of e1000 bug fixes to ixgb

[PATCH] Device runtime suspend/resume fixes
(1) Set device power state at runtime resume (as is done for runtime
suspend) so that a later suspend does not think the device is still
suspended (refusing to suspend it again).
(2) Move devices from the active list to the off list only when
suspending all devices as part of a system suspend, not for runtime
suspend. This matches the resume code, which only moves devices from
off to active during system resume, such that runtime resume currently
doesn't move the suspended device back to the active list. (This also
avoids reordering the device list for runtime suspends; the list is in
order of registration and suspend/resume works best that way -- granted,
more sweeping improvements in how device dependencies are accounted for
in the suspend/resume order are also needed someday.)
Runtime device suspend/resume is in some cases used frequently on
battery-powered embedded devices, to save additional power and to handle
device power state interactions with overall system power state on
certain platforms.

[PATCH] Leave runtime suspended devices off at system resume
Currently all devices are resumed at system resume time, including any
that were individually powered off ("at runtime") prior to the system
suspend. In certain cases it can be nice to force back on individually
suspended devices, such as the display, but hopefully this policy can be
left up to userspace power managers; the kernel should probably honor
the settings previously made by userspace/drivers. This seems
preferable to requiring a power-conscious system to re-suspend devices
after a system resume; furthermore, for certain platforms (such as
XScale PXA27X) there can be disastrous consequences of powering up
devices when the system is in a state incompatible with operation of the
device.
Suggested patch does this:
(1) At system resume, checks power_state to see if the device was
suspended prior to system suspend, and skips powering on the device if
so.
(2) Does not re-suspend an already-suspended device at system suspend
(using a different method than is currently employed, which reorders the
list, see #3).
(3) Preserves the active/off device list order despite the above changes
to suspend/resume behavior, to avoid dependency problems that tend to
occur when the list is reordered.

compatible with the already supported ADM1025 and ADM1032 boards, except
that the ADM1032 board needs some pins to be set high to draw its power,
while the same pins power up heating resistors on the ADM1031 board. I
considered it was a bit dangerous to do that by default, so I ended up
with two different device definitions, one with powering pins set, and

[PATCH] ppc64: remove silly debug path from get_vsid()
From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Currently the get_vsid() and get_kernel_vsid() functions have a test which
enables a different VSID algorithm for debugging. Using a dumb VSID
algorithm for stressing the hash table is a reasonable debugging tool, but
switching it at runtime makes no sense at all. Plus it adds another test
and memory access to the performance critical SLB miss path.
This patch removes the test, replacing it with a compile time switch. It
seems to make a measurable, although small speedup to the SLB miss path
(maybe 0.5%).

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
I noticed that my vmlinux BSS had grown from 17k to 45k between 2.6.5 and

bss, 8k was the introduction of IRQ stacks, while the remainder (12k) was
page alignment slop, some of it spurious. The following patch brings BSS
down to the expected 33k.
Throw the IRQ stacks into the page aligned section to avoided wasted BSS
space. While we'd expect this to save up to 4k, this saves over 10k of BSS
here due to gcc3.3 spuriously aligning other objects in the vicinity.

[PATCH] dm-ioctl: replace dm_[add|remove]_wait_queue() with dm_wait_event()
From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@us.ibm.com>
Some testing of DM multipath has turned up a problem with the DEVICE_WAIT
command. In the tests, while performing a DEVICE_WAIT on a multipath device,
the command sometimes returns immediately, even though the event-number is
correct and no path-failure has occurred to trigger an event. The problem
was
tracked down to the call to schedule() in dev_wait(), which would return even
though it was not woken up by a DM table event.
This patch moves the responsibility for waiting from the ioctl interface into
the core driver, and uses wait_event_interruptible() instead of relying on
wait-queues and schedule().
