[PATCH] scsi_remove_device simplifications
- change return value to void, returning errors from unregister
doesn't make lots of sense
- rename scsi_device_unregister to scsi_remove_device to kill
a superflous level of layering
<mikenc@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] fixes compile errors in cpqfc driver
The attached path fixes the compile errors in the cpqfc driver caused by
changes in scsi_cmnd. And, per Christoph and James's comments
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=105099392420649&w=2 I have
removed the scsi_cmnd stack usage.
I do not have the hardware, so I have only verified that it compiles.

Kill highmem_io flag in SCSI
From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
Since conversion to the DMA API is a requirement in 2.6, the
highmem_io flag (which told 2.4 that a driver had been converted)
is unnecessary. Get rid of it

SCSI: Introduce dma_boundary parameter
From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
The block layer includes the ability to avoid merging if the merged
segment would cross a particular boundary (by default, this boundary
is set to 4GB which is the PCI DAC requirement).
This patch makes the boundary tunable in SCSI for drivers that need
different ones (usually because of card constraints)

[PATCH] Start cleaning up sym2
Start cleaning up the sym2 driver.
- Remove ifdefs for 2.2/2.3/2.4 support -- if we want to backport this
driver, we can have a sym_24glue.c or something.
- Remove own PCI layer abstraction and use Linux's directly.
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] Convert sym2 to be hotplug-capable
This patch is on top of the patch I posted yesterday. It..
- Stops using Scsi_Cmnd etc typedefs
- Removes the unused Scsi_Host_Template argument from sym53c8xx_pci_init
- Converts sym53c8xx_2 to be a hotplug-capable driver
It boots for me on a box with 4 dual 1010 cards, but I'd appreciate other
feedback.
NOTE: This does not even attempt to preserve existing controller ordering.
But given how much I've seen symbios controllers move around under
the current setup (what? you plugged in an 875 that happens to have
NVRAM on it? Oh well then, let's just renumber all your other cards!),
I really don't care.

revert dc395x changes
Cset exclude: aliakc@web.de|ChangeSet|20030802141539|54778
<lenehan@twibble.org>
[PATCH] dc395x - 1/3 remove-static-eeprom-struct
Move the eeprom details from a static struct indexed by adapter
number into the adapter information block of the adapter. This
removes the fixed size static array and removes the need to count the
number of adapters.
<lenehan@twibble.org>
[PATCH] dc395x - 2/3 remove-static-adapter-list
Remove the static list of adapters and the code related to keeping
this up to date. The only remaining use for the static list was for
the proc info function to find the scsi_host, but that's passed as a
parameter anyway.
<lenehan@twibble.org>
[PATCH] dc395x - 3/3 fix-failures
Handle the case where scsi_add_host fails and update the removal
function to correctly unregister everything.

kbuild: Move generation of vmlinux.lds.s into arch/.../kernel
Currently, vmlinux.lds.s is generated by the top-level Makefile.
Unfortunately, this causes the automatic CONFIG dependencies to
not work correctly, the reason being that make caches the timestamps
of include/config/* so even after split-include updated the
timestamps, make still uses the cached stamps to decide whether to
rebuild vmlinux.lds.s.
The simple fix is to move generation of vmlinux.lds.s into the
arch/$(ARCH)/kernel subdirectories, where we build other files
for the final link (like head.o) anyway. This also means some
special code in the top-level Makefile for preprocessing can go
away, since we now just use the standard rules during the recursive
phase.
This patches fixes up all archs for this change (untested).

From Pavel Machek.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Move pm.c and mark functions depcrecated.
- Move kernel/pm.c to kernel/power/pm.c
- Move poweroff sysrq registration to kernel/power/poweroff.c
- Mark pm_* functions deprecated to prevent new uers.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Split device PM functions
- Create drivers/base/power/
- Move drivers/base/power.c there.
- Split into shutdown.c suspend.c and resume.c
<mochel@osdl.org>
[sysfs] Add attribute groups
Attribute groups provide the ability to register a set of sysfs attributes
for a kobject all at once, and optionally create a subdirectory to hold
them.
The constructs are simple:
struct attribute_group {
char * name;
struct attribute * attrs;
};
int sysfs_create_group(struct kobject *, struct attribute_group *);
void sysfs_remove_group(struct kobject *, struct attribute_group *);
If ->name is not NULL, then we create a subdirectory of that name to hold
the attributes. We then iterate over ->attrs and create a file for each,
in the subdirectory if we created one.
This prevents one from having to register a kobject (and define a new
kobj_type) to create a subdirectory for a group of attributes. Attributes
currently defined in that way can be converted to use attribute_groups
easily, with one caveat:
The attributes that are added for a kobject, even if in a subdirectory,
must be declared as the high-level attribute type (with an embedded struct
attribute) for the kobject, and conform to the kobj_type's calling
convention for reading/writing attributes.
The kobject that you're creating attributes for owns the directory, and
will assume ownership of the subdirectory. sysfs will reference this
kobject, and it's kobj_type, when the attribute file is opened to
determine the methods for reading/writing the attribute.
sysfs will call the kobj_type's show()/store() methods, which will convert
the kobject into a high-level object type, and convert the attribute into
a high-level attribute type, which (depending on the kobj_type) is
expected to have a show() and/or store() method.
Note that this makes it only slightly easier to create attributes en masse,
though it is a bit technically superior, since it doesn't require a new
kobj_type and kobject register. More will come in this area..
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Add PM info structure to struct device and PM registration functions.
- struct device_pm_info
- Defined in include/linux/pm.h.
- Statically allocated in struct device (->power)
- Body is empty if CONFIG_PM=n
- deivce_pm_{add,remove}
- Called from device_{add,del} respectively.
- Adds device to internal list of power managed objects and creates
attribute group for device.
(Group currently empty, but placeholder directory is created for now)
- Are defined as empty statc inline's when CONFIG_PM=n.

[AGPGART] Kill off agp_try_unsupported module parameter.
Based on a patch from Christoph Hellwig.

[XFS] clean up the flush logic some more, make the inode flush path less
lossy since we now depend on it. Add a sync_fs callout which waits
for flush to be done.

SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:155262a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] Add versioning to the on disk inode which we increment on each
flush call. This is used during recovery to avoid replaying an
older copy of the inode from the log. We can do this without
versioning the filesystem as the pad space we borrowed was
always zero and will be ignored by old kernels.

[power] Improve device suspend/resume sequence.
- Split calls into
- device_pm_suspend() [ Saving device state. ]
- device_pm_power_down() [ Powering devices down. ]
- device_pm_power_up() [ Powering devices up. ]
- device_pm_resume() [ Restoring device state. ]
- Walk local dpm_active list when suspending devices, and move devices to
dpm_suspended list when ->suspend() is called.
- Walk dpm_suspended list to power down devices (with interrrupts enabled.)
- Try to power down devices with IRQs on.
- If they succeed, move them to dpm_off list.
- If they return -EAGAIN, move them to dpm_off_irq list.
- Disable interrupts and suspend devices needed interrupts off.
- Do converse on resume
- power on devices that need interrupts off and move them to
dpm_suspended.
- Enable interrupts.
- Power on all other devices and move them to dpm_suspended.
- Restore state of all devices and move them to dpm_active.

<paulus@samba.org>
[PPP]: Fix two bugs wrt. compression/decompression.
This patch fixes two bugs that were stopping PPP compression (and in
particular, Deflate compression) from working.
The first bug was pointed out by Richard Moats. In the conversion to
use pskb_may_pull, we ended up with a bogus test which basically meant
that the kernel driver never saw the CCP conf-ack packets and thus
never enabled compression.
The second bug crept in with the change of DEFLATE_MIN_SIZE from 8 to
9. Changing that definition had the unfortunate side-effect of
changing the way that the code interpreted the encoded Deflate
parameter bytes. This meant that we were using the wrong window size,
twice what we had actually negotiated with the peer.

[PATCH] make sym2 scan devices again
It needs a call to scsi_scan_host to find devices. Also remove the

<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Add PM usage counting
- Add ->pm_users and ->pm_parent fields to struct dev_pm_info.
- Add function device_pm_set_parent()
The default power parent for a device is the device's physical parent, but
a driver may change it to represent a tranversal power dependency.
Though it's not incorporated into the suspend/resume sequences yet, the
core will respect the power tree, rather than the physical/electrical one.
Also added is a power usage count for devices, which indicates how many
devices are dependent on that one for power (how many children it has in
the power tree). The core will use this count to determine whether or not
a device can be put into a low power state or not.

[PATCH] USB: dabusb doesn't claim every ez-usb an21xx device
This resolves the annoyance that dabusb claims devices
it shouldn't (and hotplugs for them), because of wrongly
including the device IDs used by an21xx devices that don't
have an ID prom. Mostly affects developers.
Deti OK'd such a patch ages ago.

[PATCH] add usb_reset_configuration()
Unfortunately, usb_set_configuration() is widely mis-used as a
lightweight device reset. That's trouble because setting a
configuration must sometimes involve things that don't relate
at all to a light reset, and can't be done in contexts like
driver probe() calls.
This patch updates most usb_set_configuration() users to use a call
that provides more appropriate functionality:
- Adds a new usb_reset_configuration() call, which never needs
to change very much usbcore state.
- Uses it to replace most usb_set_configuration() calls, in
many serial drivers, hisax, dvb, irda, and so on.
- Modifies usb_reset_device() so it issues the control request
directly. It's both more of a reset (hides a USB reset) and
less of one (altsettings are unchanged).
- Makes usbfs return the error code instead of discarding it.
Once this goes in, then usb_set_configuration() can be made to
work properly (including from sysfs).

[driver model] Check for probing errors in drivers/base/bus.c
From Janice Girouard.

fails. However, these errors are not logged, and the device
fails silently.

[power] Add hooks for runtime device power control.
dpm_runtime_{suspend,resume} control the power state of a single device
while the system is running.
dpm_runtime_suspend() will save state of the device, then attempt to power
it down. This happens with interrupts enabled, so if the device does not
support that, the device's state is restored, and we continue on our merry
way.
dpm_runtime_resume() powers the device back on, then restores state of the
device.
dpm_set_power_state() simply notifies the core of the power state the
device is in. Drivers can use this, since they are the only ones that can
really tell.

[swsusp] Remove two panic()s.
- Make software_suspend() return an int, so caller can tell what happened.
- Do check for HIGHMEM and DISCONTIGMEM early in software_suspend() and
fail gracefully, instead of checking far down the call chain and having
to call panic().
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Various swsusp cleanups.
- Move SMP check to software_suspend() (from software_resume()), so we will
not even attempt to sleep with it enabled.
- Make software_resume() a late initcall, removing the explicit call from
prepare_namespace().
- Initialize software_suspend_enabled to 1, instead of doing it manually in
software_resume().
- Don't explicitly initialzie resume_file.
- Remove resume_status variable, as we can simply check for (non-) NULL
resume_file string.
- "noresume" setup function changed to simply zero first byte of resume_file
string, simplifying logic.
- Don't attempt to reset swap signature if noresume is specified.
- Downstream function (bdev_write_page() wasn't implemented anyway, so we
can just remove that also).
If noresume is specified, there will still be a suspend image left on the
swap partition. It may behoove us to never reset the swap signature, and
always leave the image intact on the disk, since it is a valid snapshot
that we can resume from at anytime.
This unconditional behavior would force the user to add 'mkswap <part>' to
their init scripts to reset the partition to swap use. IMO, this is better
anyway.

[PATCH] USB: usb hcd-pci suspend/resume updates
This patch has some updates to the hcd pci power management glue:

- better state transitions:
* suspending "dead" controllers needn't oops
* multi-resume case (pm bug) simplified
* multi-suspend case likewise (not always a bug)
* should handle transitions other than D0->D3{hot,cold}
- prepares for usb remote wake up support, which will be
wanting the driver model suspend/resume code to be ready.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] usb hc cleanup-after-death, oops fix
Recently we've seen some oopses reported in code that cleaned
up HCs after they died ... like pci-pm not letting ohci-hcd
suspend until after the hardware was partly disabled, or users
removing a Cardbus adapter with ehci-hcd. One root cause was
that the cleanup called hcd->stop() too many times.
This patch just does the cleanup that's reasonable to do
before the (dead) root hub is cleaned up: it disconnects
the other devices. And based on a suggestion from Pavel,
a diagnostic always appears -- avoiding mystery.

[PATCH] Disable APIC on reboot
This disables the local APIC before reboot. This fixes BIOS reboot
problems reported by a few people.
disable_local_APIC() now checks if detect_init_APIC() enabled the
local APIC via the APIC_BASE MSR, and if so it now disables APIC_BASE.
Previously we would leave APIC_BASE enabled, and that made some
BIOSen unhappy.
The SMP reboot code calls disable_local_APIC(). On SMP HW there is
no change since detect_init_APIC() isn't called and APIC_BASE isn't
enabled by us. An SMP kernel on UP HW behaves just like an UP_APIC
kernel, so it disables APIC_BASE if we enabled it at boot.
The UP_APIC disable-before-suspend code is simplified since the existing
code to disable APIC_BASE is moved into disable_local_APIC().
(Felix Kühling originally reported the BIOS reboot problem. This is a
fixed-up version of his preliminary patch.)

reaped.
<jamie@shareable.org>
[PATCH] Fix protocol bugs with NFS and nanoseconds
NFS with 2.5.75 as both client and server is broken with GNU Make.
The nanosecond field of timestamps of newly touched files is often
negative on the client, which is probably why Make fails. The value
also bears no relation to the file's nanosecond field on the server.
The culprit is htons() used where htonl() should be:
- *p++ = htonl((u32) time->tv_sec); *p++ = htons(time->tv_nsec);
+ *p++ = htonl((u32) time->tv_sec); *p++ = htonl(time->tv_nsec);
The rest of this patch corrects nfsd to use microseconds in NFSv2, not
nanoseconds. (The client already gets this right, but I have
optimised it slightly to avoid division when possible).
<mulix@mulix.org>
[PATCH] fix trident.c lockup on module load 2.6.0-test2
This patch fixes a kernel lockup with 2.6.0-test2 when the trident.c

spinlock, but never release it on the good path, only on the error
path. This patch adds the missing spin_unlock_irqrestore().
This bug snuck in in a 2.4 sync from Alan, and 2.4 appears to suffer
from the same problem. A patch for that will be send to Marcelo
momentarily.

[PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.0test3
Without these changes an x86-64 NUMA kernel won't boot in many
configurations.
The main change is the improved IOMMU code which supports merging of
mappings and has various bugfixes.
- Update defconfig
- Use argument ptregs in 32bit elf_core_copy_task_fpregs
- Harden aperture fixup code: read aperture from the AGP bridge if needed,
better error checking.
- Support nmi_watchdog=panic to panic on watchdog trigger
- IOMMU: Support panic on IOMMU overflow (iommu=panic)
- IOMMU: Force SAC for mappings >40bits when iommu=force is active
(this can potentially give better performance)
- IOMMU: Cache northbridges for faster TLB flush
- IOMMU: Fix SMP race in TLB flush
- IOMMU: Merge pci_alloc_consistent and pci_map_single
- IOMMU: Clean up leak tracing
- IOMMU: Rewrite pci_map_sg, support merging of mappings
On overflow fall back to piece-by-piece mapping.
- IOMMU: Tell block layer to assume merging when iommu force is active
(this gives better performance with MTP fusion, drawback is that the
overflow/fragmentation handling of the IOMMU area is still a big
dubious with that)
- Fix/clean up per cpu data
- Add 64bit clean time(2)
- Export cpu_callout_map for IPv6
- Handle nodes with no own memory in NUMA discovery.
This fixes boot on various newer Opteron motherboards where the memory
is only connected to a single CPU.
- Fix fallback path for failed NUMA discovery. numnodes has to be reset.
- Check for enabled nodes in NUMA discovery (Eric Biederman)
- Remove NUMA emunodes support. Has badly bitrotted.
- Add __clear_bit_string for IOMMU code
- Add new 32bit system calls to ia32_unistd.h
- Remove duplicate default_do_nmi prototype
- Make PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS dependent on no_iommu
- Fix padding length of siginfo_t to match glibc
- More pci direct access functions.

[PATCH] hpt366 fix
The HPT366 code is broken - it tries to set the interface to too high a

hde: set_drive_speed_status: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Fixed thus.

* Fixes for the ACPI configuration. The previous one would only work
with memory addresses, this will work with memory addresses,
ports, and hadle checking that the type is correct.

[PATCH] kill HDIO_GETGEO_BIG_RAW ioctl
HDIO_GETGEO_BIG_RAW is an ide specific hack introduced in 2.3.99-pre3.
There are no known programs using this ioctl.
Its aim was to provide current CHS translation to the user-space,
but very often it provides what driver thinks is a current translation
(drive with LBA have to support only one physical translation, also
drive may not support chosen translation and there is no return value check).
hdparm -I can be used instead, it provides correct information
(and bogus data is still accessible through /proc/ide/hdX/geometry).

- kill redundant, never executed code in lba_capacity_is_ok()
- add idedisk_supports_{hpa,lba48}() helpers
- don't recalculate drive->cyl for drives using LBA addressing,
we never fall-back to CHS, so its useless and confusing
- remove wrong drive->head and drive->sect assignments for LBA-48
- don't overwrite id->lba_capacity and id->lba_capacity_2
<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
[PATCH] ide: always store disk capacity in u64
From Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl.
- always use drive->capacity48 and kill drive->capacity
I've changed drive->capacity48 to drive->capacity64 to avoid confusion.
<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
[PATCH] ide: limit drive capacity to 137GB if host doesn't support LBA48
Noticed by Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl.
Also:
- kill probe_lba_addressing() wrapper
- rename hwif->addressing to hwif->no_lba48
<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
[PATCH] ide: more ide_unregister() fixes
- more locking fixes
- preserve gendev.parent of the old hwif in the new one

ide-tape is accessed by a char device (not a block one!),
it uses block layer only to queue requests.
<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>

[PATCH] Make modules work on ARM
This patch allows modules to work for ARM, and is the one thing which
prevents the standard tree from building for any ARM machine.
After reviewing the /proc/kcore and kclist issues, I've decided that I'm
no longer prepared to even _think_ about supporting /proc/kcore on ARM -
it just gets too ugly, and adds too much code to make it worth the effort,
the time or the energy to implement a solution to that problem.
/proc/kcore should probably go away, but in the meantime this just allows
ARM to ignore the issues.

[PATCH] add compat_statfs64
Add compat_* functions for statfs64. The 32bit layout unfortunately
does not match x86-64.
<ak@suse.de>
[PATCH] add compat_utimes
Add compat_sys_utimes for 32bit->64bit utimes conversion
<ak@suse.de>
[PATCH] add posix timer compat functions
Add 32bit->64bit conversion functions for POSIX timers.
I kept timer_create architecture specific, because it does signal specific
stuff which is not portable enough for generic compat.
<ak@suse.de>
[PATCH] Make x86-64 use new compat support code
Just call them from the x86-64 entry code.
Also implement the x86-64 specific sys32_timer_create.

[PATCH] Fix /sys/<dev>/<partition>/dev format: %04x -> %u:%u
A part of the 64 bit kdev_t patch already got merged, and it changes the
format of /sys/block/<dev>/dev from %02x%02x to %u:%u. The partition
could must also be changed.
e.g. cat /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev should return 3:5 instead of 0305
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Mark CLONE_DETACHED as being irrelevant: it must match CLONE_THREAD.
CLONE_THREAD without CLONE_DETACHED will now return -EINVAL, and
for a while we will warn about anything that uses it (there are no
known users, but this will help pinpoint any problems if somebody
used to care about the invalid combination).

[driver model] Allow per-device shutdown or suspend on driver detach.
- Add struct device::detach_state, which tells the core what state to put
the device in when it's detached from its driver (on module removal).
This is a value in the range of 0-4, with 0 being On and meaning 'Do
Nothing', 4 being Off, meaing calling ->shutdown() for the device, and
1-3 being low-power states, meaning call ->suspend() for the device.
- Add per-device sysfs file 'detach_state' to control the value of the
field.
- Add device_device_shutdown() function, and call it from bus.c::
device_detach_driver().
<mochel@osdl.org>
[driver model] Remove 'power' file in favor of 'power' directory.

[PATCH] I2C: i2c nforce2.c fixes

<rusty@linux.co.intel.com>
[PATCH] I2C: bugfix for initialization bug in adm1021 driver
While initializing the adm1021 device, the driver is performing a conversion
from fixed point to Celcius on values that were declaired as Celcius. On
my Dell Precision 220 this results in a shutdown after a couple of minutes
running.
This is a very simple patch against the 2.6.0-test3 tree that just removes the
conversion.

This patch might make the qla1280 driver build again in Linus' bk

[PATCH] fix dc395x compile
The recent update made it check the scsi_remove_host retval which
is void now.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] nuke some junk from the pcmcia scsi drivers
DEV_STALE_* is used for some crude hacks in pcmcia netdrivers and it
seems people copied it blindly over to the scsi ones also it couldn't
ever be triggered (dev_link_t.open is never incremented e.g.)
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] place host-related LDM code directly in hosts.c
This was in scsi_sysfs.c previously but given that it's not
sysfs-related and the whole scsi code is built around the driver
model now it's better to have it where it belongs. Also allows
us to reduce the scsi_mod-wide globals.
<patmans@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] add sysfs attributes to scan and delete scsi_devices
This patch against scsi-misc-2.5 adds a sysfs attribute to allow scanning
(or rescanning) and deletion of scsi_devices.
It also allows scanning of entire hosts, channels, or targets.
It adds a per-host scan attribute, and a per scsi_device delete attribute.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Register PM subsystem, and create power/ directory in sysfs.
- Add file 'state' which provides single point of entry for all PM
transitions.
File accepts a string specifying what state to enter, which is one of:
"standby": Power-on Suspend (aka S1)
"suspend": Suspend-to-RAM (aka S3)
"hibernate": Suspend-to-disk (aka S4)
The names do suck, because they are lifted from the ACPI spec. Better
naming suggestions are welcome, though these names are relatively well-
known.
- Handler for file does little now, but will validate the passed string and
call the appropriate functions.
- Needs to be integrated with swsusp and ACPI S3 code.

invalidate_mapping_pages() takes start/end, but fadvise is currently passing
it start/len.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] sys_fadvise64_64
Alas, both POSIX and I got the fadvise() interface wrong. It needs to take a
64-bit length, not a 32-bit one. Because fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) on a
4TB file will require 1000 syscalls. Silly.
There are glibc's in the wild which use the existing syscall, so we must

[PATCH] timer race fixes
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
It unifies the functionality of add_timer() and mod_timer(), and makes any
combination of the timer API calls completely SMP-safe. del_timer() is still
not using the timer lock.
this patch fixes the only timer bug in 2.6 i'm aware of: the del_timer_sync()
+ add_timer() combination in kernel/itimer.c is buggy. This was correct code
in 2.4, because there it was safe to do an add_timer() from the timer handler
itself, parallel to a del_timer_sync().
If we want to make this safe in 2.6 too (which i think we want to) then we
have to make add_timer() almost equivalent to mod_timer(), locking-wise. And
once we are at this point i think it's much cleaner to actually make
add_timer() a variant of mod_timer(). (There's no locking cost for
add_timer(), only the cost of an extra branch. And we've removed another
commonly used function from the icache.)

[PATCH] AS: remove hash valid stuff
From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>
The crazy HASH_VALID stuff now makes no difference now. It was there to
try to enforce no merging over a barrier, but it turned out that requests
can just be reordered. Jens picked this up a a while ago and fixed
deadline (and I AS) by simply dispatching all reqs on the queue on
encountering a barrier. The hash valid stuff didn't get cleaned up.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] AS: no trinary states
From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>
Gets rid of the silly (and undocumented) trinary stateness of

From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>

[PATCH] reiserfs: Fix handling of some extended inode
From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
This patch fixes a problem in reiserfs' handling of immutable attribute,

attribute "support" (all the support is in VFS anyway, we only recognise the
bit now). Also misleading comment in reiserfs_fs.h is removed.

[PATCH] nbd: fix send/receive/shutdown/disconnect races
From: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com>
Here's the updated patch to fix several race conditions in nbd. It
requires reverting the already included (but incomplete)
nbd-race-fix.patch that's in -mm5.
This patch fixes the following race conditions:
1) adds an increment of req->ref_count to eliminate races between
do_nbd_request and nbd_end_request, which resulted in the freeing of
in-use requests -- there were races between send/receive, send/shutdown
(killall -9 nbd-client), and send/disconnect (nbd-client -d), which are
now all fixed
2) adds locking and properly orders the code in NBD_CLEAR_SOCK to
eliminate races with other code
3) adds an lo->sock check to nbd_clear_que to eliminate races between
do_nbd_request and nbd_clear_que, which resulted in the dequeuing of
active requests
4) adds an lo->sock check to NBD_DO_IT to eliminate races with
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK, which caused an Oops when "nbd-client -d" was called
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] /proc/net/pnp oops fix

[PATCH] fix task struct refcount bug
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
(We think this might be the mystery bug which has been hanging about for
months)
We found a [the?] task struct refcount error: A task that dies sets
tsk->state to TASK_ZOMBIE. The next scheduled task checks prev->state, and
if it's ZOMBIE, then it decrements the reference count of prev. The
prev->state & _ZOMBIE test is not atomic with schedule, thus if prev is
scheduled again and dies between dropping the runqueue lock and checking
prev->state, then the reference it dropped twice.
This is possible with either preemption [schedule_tail is called by
ret_from_fork with preemption count 1, finish_arch_switch drops it to 0] or
profiling [profile_exit_mmap can sleep on profile_rwsem, called by
mmdrop()] enabled.

[PATCH] probe UDF after reiserfs
Bug 1065 (http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1065) points out that there
is a risk that UDF will accidentally mount a reiserfs partition, which would
prevent a successful boot.
Andries points out that probing is unreliable and that users/admins should
always specify the root filesystem type on the kernel boot command line with
"rootfstype=resierfs".
But nobody does that, so we should be trying reiserfs before UDF.

_devfs_walk_path does not check if de it is about to scan is a directory.

[PATCH] Make MTRR init conform with recommended procedure
From: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca>
This is a patch to make the MTRR initialisation more conformant with what
is stated in volume 3 of (10-36 Memory Cache Control). The most notable
change is entering the no-fill cache mode before clearing the PGE bit in
cr4. Intel also states that we should do the cache flush via the cr3
register shuffle. If there is a problem with the patch please don't
hesitate to beat me vigorously with a clue-by-four.

From: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca>
hugetlbfs was accessing super_block->s_fs_info after free'ing it. This was

[PATCH] Kill warning in minix filesystem on 64-bit archs
From: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au>
On 64-bit architectures, ino_t is int, not long, so the attached patch
is needed to prevent a warning.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] loop oops fix
loop-on-file oopses during unmount. This is because lo_queue is now freed
during lo_ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD). I think the scenario is:
1: umount(8) opens /dev/loop0
2: umount(8) runs lo_ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) (this frees the queue)
3: umount(8) closes the /dev/loop0 handle. The blockdev layer syncs the
blockdev, but its mapping->backing_dev_info now points into la-la-land.
We shouldn't be freeing the queue until all refs to it have gone away. This
patch gives the queue the same lifetime as the controlling loop_device
itself. It also makes the loop driver's queue appear in sysfs again.
It would be better to free the queue when the device is not in use, but I'm
not sure how we can hook into the blockdev layer to do that.

[PATCH] request_firmware fix
From: Manuel Estrada Sainz <ranty@debian.org>
- undo recent change, made in the believe that "buffer" was the size of

memory corruption.
- Since files are allowed to have unknown sizes, by setting their
size to 0, we can't preallocate a buffer of their size on open.
- Adapt request_firmware() to the sysfs change.
- Adapt drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c to the sysfs change.

Introduce a new variable "arg_size" and set it appropriately in each arm of
the CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP. This patch fixes a bug for PA-RISC and makes the
code cleaner for everyone.

[PATCH] bugfix for initialization bug in adm1021 driver
From: Rusty Lynch <rusty@linux.co.intel.com>
While initializing the adm1021 device, the driver is performing a conversion
from fixed point to Celcius on values that were declaired as Celcius. On my
Dell Precision 220 this results in a shutdown after a couple of minutes
running.
The latch simply removes the conversion.

[PATCH] Use mark_page_accessed() in follow_page()
Touching a page via follow_page() counts as a reference so we should be
either setting the referenced bit in the pte or running mark_page_accessed().
Altering the pte is tricky because we haven't implemented an atomic
pte_mkyoung(). And mark_page_accessed() is better anyway because it has more
aging state: it can move the page onto the active list.

[PATCH] SELinux inode security init
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
This patch reworks the SELinux module code that handles inodes initialized
before the policy is initially loaded to also cover the case where a pseudo
filesystem such as selinuxfs or nfsd directly populate themselves.
The list of inode security structures is split into per-superblock lists
associated with each superblock security structure, and the initialization
is performed by superblock_doinit.

[PATCH] More timer race fixes
Patch from Julie DeWandel.
This patch has solved the crashes observed during TPC-C runs on the
16-way box. (I'm confident it will fix the other reported cases as
well.)
The race is the setting of timer->base to NULL, by del_timer() or
__run_timers(). If new_base == old_base in __mod_timer() then we do not
re-check timer->base after getting the lock. (the only case where we do
not have to re-check the base is in the !old_base case, but the else
branch also includes the old_base==new_base case.)
The __run_timers() case made the lock_timer() patch not work fully - we
cannot use lock_timer() in __run_timers() due to lock ordering.

oops in sd_shutdown
From: Andries Brouwer <aebr@win.tue.nl>
I see an Oops in the SCSI code, caused by the fact that sdkp is NULL
in sd_shutdown. "How can that be?", you will ask - dev->driver_data was set
in sd_probe. But in my case sd_probe never finished. An insmod usb-storage
hangs forever, or at least for more than six hours, giving ample opportunity
to observe this race between sd_probe and sd_shutdown.
(Of course sd_probe hangs in sd_revalidate disk.)
Perhaps the obvious test is a good idea.
Locking seems meaningless - sd_probe will never finish.

[PATCH] minor fix to sym2 hotplug conversion
One problem we found when we hit a bad adapter, we need to use scsi_host_put.
<anton@samba.org>
[PATCH] another fix to sym2 hotplug conversion
In sym_attach we call sym_hcb_attach. If it fails we call
sym_free_resources which will call sym_hcb_free. Unfortunately
sym_hcb_attach also calls sym_hcb_free on failure.
This results in a bunch of things being freed twice and it looks like
the sym2 memory allocator adds them to the freelist twice. Sometime later
on we allocate the memory twice, with weird consequences.

(with fix ups for rejections on CONFIG_HIGHIO)
This patch has no code changes. It is only the result of running

patch, it may be advisable to just run
sh scripts/Lindent drivers/scsi/ips.c

lindented.

This patch converts netdevice's from a statistic's kobject to attribute
group. This is cleaner and fixes some shutdown unload issues as well.

ips 2/4: 2.4 resync
From: David Jeffery <david_jeffery@adaptec.com>
(with minor fixes for rejects)
This patch is a resync with the 6.10 driver for 2.4 and updates the 2.4
compatability code. It adds a new wrapper function for differences
between the 2.4 and 2.6 scsi proc interface, forces pci posting in 3
places, corrects using a meaningless constant of 0x80 to 0, and syncs
comments that had changed.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Move code inline if short and used once.
Now that unregister_sysfs got smaller, just eliminate it and call
class_device_unregister directly. netdev_finish_unregister is called
one place, therefore it is easier to understand if we just put those
few lines into wait_allrefs state machine.

Motivation for removing is that the hashbin locking has problems with
the locking assumptions in on network device removal.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[IRDA]: Fix irtty line disc and module semantics.
The irda tty line discipline does not handle the new module
paradigm well. This patch fixes that:
- initialize line discipline as data, not with code
- set module owner
- make prototype for irtty_ioctl match expected
arguments from tty discipline
- get rid of explicit MOD_INC/MOD_DEC
<shemminger@osdl.org>

[PATCH] PATCH: (as70b) Update request_bufflen to match this_count
This patch addresses a problem in both sd.c and sr.c. When a read/write
command is initialized, the routines may reduce this_count (the number of
sectors to transfer) if it exceeds the maximum allowed value (i.e., 0xffff
for READ(10)). However, the code does not similarly alter
scmd->request_bufflen and scmd->bufflen to match the change in the CDB
value.
scmd->request_bufflen is important for the usb-storage driver, which
requires that it be exactly equal to the number of bytes transferred.
scmd->bufflen is used in the rw_intr() routines, where it is passed to
scsi_io_completion() as the number of sectors transferred if no errors
occur.
Another small change in the patch concerns the code in sr.c that checks
whether the total of the scatter-gather area lengths matches
scmd->request_bufflen. If they don't match, the patch bumps the kernel
log message level up to KERN_ERR, and it takes the more conservative
approach of adjusting scmd->request_bufflen only if the s-g length is
smaller than the request length.

Here's another patch in the "try and make the driver readable"
cleanup series. This one cleans up all of the list handling.
Description: Replaced the various hand crafted scsi req lists
(waiting and going in the dcb and free in the acb) and the dcb list
(in the acb) with the generic linux lists. This makes all of the list
related code a *lot* more readable then it was previously.

[netdrvr] add sis190 gigabit ethernet driver (note: needs work)
<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
scsi.h uses "u8" which isn't defined.
From: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org>
IMO, it's more correct to include <linux/types.h> in scsi.h, which
will bring in u8 and make scsi.h compilable on its own (provided
__KERNEL__ is defined, as it should be).

[PATCH] Move config tasks to kconfig/Makefile
This fixes a bug with multiple targets.
Olaf Hering reported that the build failed for PowerPc if used like
this: make oldconfig zImage
The reason for this was that .config was not present for any targets
specified in arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile and below.
That's because .config would not be included when oldconfig is present
in the list of targets. The fix is to move handling of *config task to
the kconfig/Makefile. Furthermore the logic in top-level makefile has
changed a bit, creating a more logial structure. When building a fresh
kernel, the user is now told that .config is missing, not an anonymous
report that .config did not exist.
The error has survided this long because the targets used in i386/boot
in general does not use CONFIG_ symbols.
Olaf Hering has tested this patch with success.

[PATCH] Fix sb_card.c for "name" removal
This will correct the sb_card compile error from removing "name" from
"struct device".
I also decided to read the name from the card structure instead of the
device structure because, for isapnp devices, the card structure is more
likely to contain an appropriate name.

[PATCH] make NFS lockd port numbers assignable at run time
When writing firewall rules, and you are serving NFS, it's really
useful to know the port numbers of the various NFS services. nfsd has
a standard value; mountd and statd are userspace daemons, and those
ports are settable on the command line.
The fiddly one is lockd. nlm_udpport and nlm_tcpport can be set on
the kernel command line or at module load time, but after that it's a
bit awkward (particularly as the lockd module can't be unloaded safely
- "rmmod -f lockd" sometimes panics).
This patch allows the port numbers and the other lockd parameters to
be set through files in /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nlm_*. The port numbers take
effect when lockd is next started or restarted.
In order to install the sysctl table even when compiled into the
kernel, it was necessary to update the initialisation code to the
current methods, using module_init() et al. This patch does that and
in so doing updates the module/kernel parameters to use the 2.6
module_param() method, as well as making the numeric range changes
consistent between the two.

[PATCH] cpumask_t: allow more than BITS_PER_LONG CPUs

It has ben tested on x86, sparc64, x86_64, ia64 (I think), ppc and ppc64.
cpumask_t enables systems with NR_CPUS > BITS_PER_LONG to utilize all their
cpus by creating an abstract data type dedicated to representing cpu
bitmasks, similar to fd sets from userspace, and sweeping the appropriate
code to update callers to the access API. The fd set-like structure is
according to Linus' own suggestion; the macro calling convention to ambiguate
representations with minimal code impact is my own invention.
Specifically, a new set of inline functions for manipulating arbitrary-width
bitmaps is introduced with a relatively simple implementation, in tandem with
a new data type representing bitmaps of width NR_CPUS, cpumask_t, whose
accessor functions are defined in terms of the bitmap manipulation inlines.
This bitmap ADT found an additional use in i386 arch code handling sparse
physical APIC ID's, which was convenient to use in this case as the
accounting structure was required to be wider to accommodate the physids
consumed by larger numbers of cpus.
For the sake of simplicity and low code impact, these cpu bitmasks are passed
primarily by value; however, an additional set of accessors along with an
auxiliary data type with const call-by-reference semantics is provided to
address performance concerns raised in connection with very large systems,
such as SGI's larger models, where copying and call-by-value overhead would
be prohibitive. Few (if any) users of the call-by-reference API are
immediately introduced.
Also, in order to avoid calling convention overhead on architectures where
structures are required to be passed by value, NR_CPUS <= BITS_PER_LONG is
special-cased so that cpumask_t falls back to an unsigned long and the
accessors perform the usual bit twiddling on unsigned longs as opposed to
arrays thereof. Audits were done with the structure overhead in-place,
restoring this special-casing only afterward so as to ensure a more complete
API conversion while undergoing the majority of its end-user exposure in -mm.
More -mm's were shipped after its restoration to be sure that was tested,
too.
The immediate users of this functionality are Sun sparc64 systems, SGI mips64
and ia64 systems, and IBM ia32, ppc64, and s390 systems. Of these, only the
ppc64 machines needing the functionality have yet to be released; all others
have had systems requiring it for full functionality for at least 6 months,
and in some cases, since the initial Linux port to the affected architecture.

[PATCH] Fix si_band type in asm-generic/siginfo.h
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
POSIX says si_band in siginfo_t must be long. glibc uses this, except
for Alpha.
This type must be correct on little endian machines, otherwise
Konqueror does not get any events from dnotity for created/deleted files.
Currenly asm-generic/siginfo.h uses int, which is wrong.
This patch adds a new macro __ARCH_SI_BAND_T which is int for alpha
and long for everybody else. This makes the type on x86-64 come out
correctly

[PATCH] signal handling race condition causing reboot hangs
From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>
(I can't get anyone to review this, but I'm sure there's a bug in there, and
Ernie's patch has been in -mm for some time).
There is a long-standing locking hole in the kernel's handling of the
signals related to stopping and resuming processes. When a process
handles SIGSTOP, SIGTSTP, SIGTTIN, or SIGTTOU, the "sighand" lock is
held while the signal is dequeued and appropriate masks are updated.
But the "sighand" lock is dropped in several cases before the task's
state is changed to TASK_STOPPED (or before a group-stop is initiated).
If a process running on another cpu posts a SIGCONT or SIGKILL just after
the "victim" process releases the lock but before its state is set to
TASK_STOPPED, the corresponding wakeup will be lost and the victim will
remain stopped despite the successive SIGCONT or SIGKILL. In this case,
a repeated posting of SIGCONT or SIGKILL will have no effect, since the
original one is already pending (and so causes a repeated posting to be
discarded). The occurrence of a SIGSTOP/SIGKILL race where the victim
has blocked all other signals will result in an unkillable process.
Although a fabricated test program can reproduce a SIGSTOP/SIGCONT race
hang in less than a minute (on a 2-cpu Dell Precision 450), the scenario
that has been most frequently encountered is a hang during reboot or
shutdown. This occurs because /sbin/killall5 brackets the scanning of
/proc/* and associated signal posting to (most) of the processes still
running with kill(-1, SIGSTOP) and kill(-1, SIGCONT) calls to temporarily
freeze every process except for "init". Occasionally, its parent (running
the /etc/rc6.d/S01reboot shell script) gets stuck in TASK_STOPPED state
with pending SIGCONT and SIGCLD signals, but with no other process left
to wake it up.
In order to fix the race condition, the locking in do_signal_stop()
and get_signal_to_deliver() needed reworking to close the hole. Due
to lock ordering issues between the "sighand" lock and tasklist_lock,
there are two cases where the former lock needs to be released and
then reacquired, thus allowing a tiny hole for a SIGCONT/SIGKILL to
be posted. These two cases are resolved by rechecking for a pending
SIGCONT/SIGKILL after the locks are (re)acquired in the proper order.
Anyone wanting a copy of the test program may e-mail me off-list.

[PATCH] add ASUS l3800P to DMI black list
From: Eric Valette <eric.valette@free.fr>
The following patch integrated in 2.5.74,
<http://lists.insecure.org/lists/linux-kernel/2003/Jun/5840.html>
really enables the APIC even if BIOS disabled it. Unfortunately,
enabling APIC really does not seem to work on this ASUS laptop and ACPI
(which is mandatory) crash the kernel in ACPI code at boot time while
"Executing all Devices _STA and_INIT methods"
Unless someones find a bug in ACPI code related to APIC management, It
is safer to add this machine in the DMI black list (along with DELL,
IBM, ...).
So, as suggested by the author of the problematic change, I added and
entry in the DMI black list. But my guess is that most laptop will soon
be present in this list....

[PATCH] Local APIC enable fixes
From: mikep@csd.uu.se
There has been a number of problem reports about local APIC
interacting badly with ACPI on P4s due to the P4 local APIC
force-enable change in 2.5.74,
This patch reverts the 2.5.74 patch, so if the BIOS disables
the local APIC on a P4, we don't enable it by default any more.
The rescue the situation for those P4 systems where the local
APIC _can_ be enabled safely, I've added two kernel parameters
that can be used to override broken BIOSen:
- "nolapic" prevents the kernel from enabling or using the local
APIC. This is stronger than listing a machine in the DMI scan
blacklist, since it also works for machines that boot with the
local APIC already enabled.
- "lapic" tells the kernel to force-enable the P4 local APIC if
the BIOS disabled it. I haven't changed the logic for P6/K7
family processors, so we still force-enable those unless
"nolapic" was passed to the kernel.
The patch also includes a cleanup: the dont_use_local_apic_timer
flag variable is not set any more since 2.5.74, so it's removed.

[PATCH] async write errors: report truncate and io errors on
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
These patches add the infrastructure for reporting asynchronous write errors
to block devices to userspace. Error which are detected due to pdflush or VM
writeout are reported at the next fsync, fdatasync, or msync on the given
file, and on close if the error occurs in time.
We do this by propagating any errors into page->mapping->error when they are
detected. In fsync(), msync(), fdatasync() and close() we return that error
and zero it out.
The Open Group say close() _may_ fail if an I/O error occurred while reading
from or writing to the file system. Well, in this implementation close() can
return -EIO or -ENOSPC. And in that case it will succeed, not fail - perhaps
that is what they meant.
There are three patches in this series and testing has only been performed
with all three applied.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] async write errors: use flags in address space
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
This patch just saves a few bytes in the inode by turning mapping->gfp_mask
into an unsigned long mapping->flags.
The mapping's gfp mask is placed in the 16 high bits of mapping->flags and
two of the remaining 16 bits are used for tracking EIO and ENOSPC errors.
This leaves 14 bits in the mapping for future use. They should be accessed
with the atomic bitops.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] async write errors: fix spurious fs truncate errors
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
Currently, a writepage() which detects that it is writing outside i_size (due
to concurrent truncate) will abandon the write, returning -EIO.
The return value will bogusly cause an error to be recorded in the
address_space. So convert all those writepage() instances to return zero in
this case.

There was a quite nasty long standing bug in the x86-64 port. The

kernel, but it definitely shouldn't happen. It could e.g. cause
problems with drivers that do not handle shared interrupt properly.
This also broke some programs who assumed that int <random number>

When the *config targets were moved to scripts/kconfig/Makefile
the graphical configurator support broke.
The following patch is a minimal fix, required to restore support
of 'make xconfig' and 'make gconfig'.

[ARM] Remove redundant CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.
ARM had CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO for ages. Unfortunately, the new

<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Add flag to control suspend-to-disk behavior.
Suspend-to-disk can be handled in numerous ways, some we have control over,
and others we don't. The biggest difference is whether or not the firmware
is responsible for entering a low-power state or if the platform driver is.
The two modes are incompatible, so we enable the platform driver tell the
PM core when they register their pm_ops (via the ->pm_disk_mode) field.
If the firmware is responsible, then it will also write memory to disk,
while the kernel is otherwise responsible. However, a user may choose to
use the in-kernel suspend mechanism, even if the system supports only
the firmware mechanism. Instead of entering a low-power state, the system
will turn off (or reboot for testing).
A sysfs file -- /sys/power/disk -- is available to set the mode to one of:
'firmware'
'platform'
'shutdown'
'reboot'
The latter two are settable any time, and assume that one is using swsusp.
The other two are only settable to what the platform supports.

[NET]: free_netdev - fix leaky drivers
When doing the audit for this change, it was obvious that several drivers

is a reason they never free.

ia64: Fixes for the inline-asm cleanup patch so the tree builds and
works again on the simulator (besides the real hw, of course).
Also, clean up simulator bootloader code so it's all in

<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Update device handling.
- From conversations with Ben Herrenschmidt.
Most devices should be able to handle powering down with interrupts enabled,
which I already assume. But since suspending will stop I/O transactions
before the call to power it off (making the device unusable anyway), there
is no need to separate the calls - we may as well make it simpler for
driver authors and require that driver authors do everything at the same
time.
There will always be devices that need to either power down or power up the
device with interrupts disabled. They will get called with interrupts
enabled, but may return -EAGAIN to be called again with interrupts disabled
to do what they need to do.
System devices are now always called only with interrupts disabled. Come
on - they're system devices. Of course we need interrupts disabled.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[power] Move suspend()/resume() methods.
Instead of putting them in struct device_driver (which few, if any drivers
use directly), put them in the controlling bus_type of the device (which
are currently responsible for claiming the methods and forwarding the calls
to the bus-specific driver anyway).
This will save 8 bytes per driver instance, which isn't that much, but it's
something. It also makes it more obvious to the reader what is going on.
And, it makes for easier bus-level defaults in the case the device has no
driver attached.
The old calls remain until all instances have been fixed up.

[PATCH] Support dentry revalidation under open(".")
link_path_walk() currently treats the special filenames ".", ".."
and "/" differently in that it does not call down to the filesystem in
order to revalidate the cached dentry, but just assumes that it is
fine.
For most filesystems this is OK, but it the case of the stateless
NFS, this means that it circumvents path staleness detection, and the
attribute+data cache revalidation code on such common commands as
opendir(".").
This change provides a way to do such revalidation for NFS without
impacting other filesystems.
Note: the failure to revalidate the path here does not result in a
call to d_invalidate() unlike (all?) other calls to d_revalidate(). It
only results in an ESTALE error being returned to the caller.

[PATCH] IO port bitmap cleanups, x86-64 oops fix
This patch brings x86-64 and i386 closer together, eliminating an oops

must be followed by an extra 0xff.
(Add comments to that effect, to avoid the problem in the future).

[PATCH] Big zoran driver update
This is a patch for the video4linux unified zoran driver that has been
in the kernel since 2.4.5 or so.
It fixes the compile issues in the current 2.6.0-test3 unified zoran
driver (current one doesn't compile at all), and also updates its
version to what we have in CVS. This adds support for new cards (e.g.
LML33R10 from LinuxMediaLabs and DC30+ from Pinnacle), fixes bugs in
cards that were already supported and generally improves capture
reliability. Changes per file (in detail) are given below.
i2c-id.h:
add some new IDs for new i2c drivers
pci_ids.h:
add PCI IDs for each of the supported cards if it has any
saa7111.c, saa7110.c, adv7175.c, bt819.c, saa7185.c, bt856.c:
update to whatever we've got in our CVS. For most, these are just
"easiness" fixes that either add some better debug output, or that make
maintainance for both 2.6.x and 2.4.x simpler for me. There's also some
specific changes. E.g., in saa7110.c, we enable the VCR mode bits so we
get a better image from VCR input. In all of them, we make debugging an
insmod option rather than a compile-time option (this makes debugging
for users a *lot* easier). Point is that I just want our latest CVS in
here. Maintainance is going to be a personal horror-story if it's not.
vpx3220.c, saa7114.c, adv7170.c:
new i2c ones (for respectively DC10/DC30, LML33R10 and again LML33R10)
zr36067.c:
removed, the driver is now spread over multiple source files.
zoran*.[ch], zr36057.h
spread-out source files. Also fixes lots of bugs, can't even start
naming them all, you don't want that, neither do I. Just assume that it
works better than it used to - it does.
Nice things that aren't in the old driver: much more stable, supports
DC30+, supports LML33R10, has proper locking/semaphores, supports
multiple opens without races now, adapted to new i2c subsystem, v4l2

Greg has gone over the i2c changes a long time ago, he agreed on all of
them. Gerd is supposed to take care of the v4l part, he has never
complained about any of them. Stability is good, we've fixed most issues
(there's still some out there, but nothing serious), lots better than in
the old driver. Also, the cards work much better than with the old
driver.

[PATCH] remove mount_root_failed_msg()
This one snuck in...
- debugging message for ACPI
- Intel guys removed it from their 2.4 tree (at my request)
- it's point-in-time specific (message becomes nearly useless after
ACPI bug fixes)
- b/c of the point-in-time issue, it's IMO much more appropriate for a
vendor kernel (where the message, I agree, may be helpful)
- can potentially mislead users to the correct cause of root mount failure
- overall, I disagree with adding messages like this. The number one
bug report, by far, for networking drivers is ACPI-related (no
interrupts delivered). You don't see me adding "boot with acpi=off"
messages to the net subsystem.

[PATCH] ext3 block allocator cleanup
This just reorganizes some ghastly goto-and-retry-spaghetti in the core of
the ext3 block allocator.
I wrote this ages ago in preparation for fixing the find_next_usable_block()
CPU pigginess problem, but that proved to be quite nontrivial.
The patch has been in -mm for a long time and Martin has recently confirmed
that it introduces no performance regression in SDET and kernbench.

[PATCH] vmscan: give dirty referenced pages another pass
In a further attempt to prevent dirty pages from being written out from the
LRU, don't write them if they were referenced. This gives those pages
another trip around the inactive list. So more of them are written via
balance_dirty_pages().
It speeds up an untar-of-five-kernel trees by 5% on a 256M box, presumably
because balance_dirty_pages() has better IO patterns.
It largely fixes the problem which Gerrit talked about at the kernel summit:
the individual writepage()s of dirty pages coming off the tail of the LRU are
reduced by 83% in their database workload.
I'm a bit worried that it increases scanning and OOM possibilities under
nutty VM stress cases, but nothing untoward has been noted during its four
weeks in -mm, so...

[PATCH] When a partition is claimed, claim the whole device
From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
Current devices can be 'claimed' by filesystems (when mounting) or
md/raid (when being included in an array) or 'raw' or ....
This stop concurrent access by these systems.
However it is still possible for one system to claim the whole device
and a second system to claim one partition, which is not good.
With this patch, when a partition is claimed, the whole device is
claimed for partitioning. So you cannot have a partition and the
whole devices claimed at the same time (except if the whole device
is claimed for partitioning).
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] Allow O_EXCL on a block device to claim exclusive use.
From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
The blockdev layer has a concept of 'claiming' a device, so for example it
can be claimed when a filesystem is mounted or when it is included into a
raid array. Only one subsystem can claim it at a time.
This patch matches this functionality available to user-space via the
O_EXCL flag to open.
This allows user-space programs to easily test if a device is currently
mounted etc, and to prevent a device from being mounted or otherwise
claimed.

[PATCH] dscc4: reset changes
From: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
Workaround for lack of true reset:
- devices/ports are put in silent mode at ifconfig down time but some
state is kept around to allow 'ifconfig up' issuing at a later time.
Device specific structures are allocated when the pci asic is
probed: dscc4_init_ring() moves from dscc4_open() to dscc4_found1().
- try to use reset related board-specific feature at module removal
time if available. Comments in the code explain the whole story.
Not a complicated feature but it is unavailable on the cards I own
and no user gave me feedback -> currently untested.
It shouldn't harm anyway.

[PATCH] fix intel copy_to_user()
A `cat /dev/kmem' oopses the kernel. This is because new Intel
copy_to_user() doesn't handle segfaults against the kernel-side source
address of the copy.
It is not obvious how to fix read_kmem(), and handling faults on either
source or dest is traditional behaviour, so fix it in the copy function by
adding exception table entries for the reads as well as the writes.

[PATCH] fix for htree corruption
From: chrisl@vmware.com
Fixes the "perl installer weirdness" problem which a few people have been

The bug is triggered by creating the index. Coping out the index we assume
the dirents start with the first entry after "." "..".
It can make the first previous deleted entry reappear. In the past we set
inode to zero for an empty entry so this is not a problem. That is not
true any more.
Also, there were a few places where we were altering inode times after
running ext3_mark_inode_dirty(). We should be doing that beforehand.

[PATCH] Fix CPU boot problem
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
Hmmm. This is looking like fallout from the massive wli-bomb. Here's
the loop that controls the cpu booting, before and after cpumask_t:
- for (bit = 0; kicked < NR_CPUS && bit < BITS_PER_LONG; bit++)
+ for (bit = 0; kicked < NR_CPUS && bit < MAX_APICS; bit++)
apicid = cpu_present_to_apicid(bit);
"kicked" only gets incremented for CPUs that were successfully booted,
so it doesn't help terminate the loop much. MAX_APICS is 256 on summit,
which is *MUCH* bigger than BITS_PER_LONG.
cpu_2_logical_apicid[NR_CPUS] which is referenced from
cpu_present_to_apicid() is getting referenced up to MAX_APICs, which is
bigger than NR_CPUS. Overflow. Bang. garbage != BAD_APICID :)
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] fix /proc mm_struct refcounting bug
From: Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com>
The /proc code's bare atomic_inc(&mm->count) is racy against __exit_mm()'s
mmput() on another CPU: it calls mmput() outside task_lock(tsk), and
task_lock() isn't appropriate locking anyway.
So what happens is:
CPU0 CPU1
mmput()
->atomic_dec_and_lock(mm->mm_users)
atomic_inc(mm->mm_users)
->list_del(mm->mmlist)
mmput()
->atomic_dec_and_lock(mm->mm_users)
->list_del(mm->mmlist)
And the double list_del() of course goes splat.
So we use mmlist_lock to synchronise these steps.
The patch implements a new mmgrab() routine which increments mm_users only if
the mm isn't already going away. Changes get_task_mm() and proc_pid_stat()
to call mmgrab() instead of a direct atomic_inc(&mm->mm_users).
Hugh, there's some cruft in swapoff which looks like it should be using
mmgrab()...

ia64: perfmon update.
Here is a ChangeLog for the patch:
- The perfmon core will invoke the sampling module handler
routine once for each overflowed PMD. When multiple PMDs
overflow at the same time (with the same PMU interrupt),
then up to 64 distinct calls can happen. A common timestamp
parameter allows the module to identify this kind of
entries.
- Changed the module ovfl_ctrl arguments to simplify the reset
field. Now it is a simple boolean.
- Updated perfmon.h to convert the "set" field to ushort from
uint. Other structure updates to get better layout.
- Update perfmon_default_smpl.h to reflect the change in
overflow processing mentioned above.
- Cleanup some state checking code to use switch-case instead
of if-then with macros. Make the code more readable and
easier to optmize for gcc. Thanks to David for the
suggestion.
- Added extra safety checks on pfm_context_load() to verify
that the task actually exists.
- The default sampling format module now supports the
fmt_restart_active callbacks. Patch from David.

Fix APIC ID lookup. In the bios_cpu_apicid[] case, it would walk off

send NMI wakeups to destinations in the broadcast cluster (which is
harmless, but very poor form) without this patch.

Various RPC client fixes:
- Ensure that we reset req->rq_received before resending if the
server has sent us a garbage reply.
- Whenever we grab the xprt_lock_write "semaphore" ensure that we
reset req->rq_bytes_sent.
- When resending a TCP request, do not interrupt in the
middle of transmission even if we do get a reply from the server.
- Protect the call to rpc_calc_rto() against modification while
we are calculating
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
If an RPC request has to be resent due to a timeout, it turns out
that call_encode() may cause rq_rcv_buf to be reset despite the fact
that a reply might be delivered at any moment by a softirq.
This typically results in 'NFS: server cheating in read reply'
error messages.
Solve by adding rq_private_buf, which is updated atomically from
rq_rcv_buf.

A request cannot be used as part of the RTO estimation if it gets

the cutoff point to be the timeout of the first transmission.

retransmission.
