0db99e3 Mike Christie 26 August 2006, 07:00:22 UTC [SCSI] fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd regression The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer, and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with data and scatterlists. This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this fixes a regression added when we removed some of the scsi_cmnd fields and replaced them with local variables.

9c06938 Andrew Vasquez 23 August 2006, 21:54:54 UTC [SCSI] qla2xxx: Correct PLOGI retry logic. Original code attempts to retry PLOGIs to fcports that are FCP_TARGETs only. If the driver never performed a successful PLOGI/PRLI, the port-type would never be assigned, and the relogin logic would silently drop the request (and thus the port would not be recognized and registered). The fix is relatively straightforward, drop the FCP_TARGET-only check.

a90f568 James Smart 17 August 2006, 15:58:04 UTC [SCSI] lpfc 8.1.9 : Stall eh handlers if resetting while rport blocked Stall error handler if attempting resets/aborts while an rport is blocked. This avoids device offline scenarios due to errors in the error handler. Background: Although the transport is using the scsi_timed_out functionality to restart the timeout if the rport is blocked, if the timeout has already fired before the block occurs, the eh handler still runs and can take the device offline. Ultimately, this window cannot be resolved without significant work in the error handler thread. Christoph noted the first level of these issues when he noted the poor error response handling by the error thread. We found, under heavy load and error testing, that time window from when the scsi_times_out() adds the io to the queue to when the scsi_error_handler gets around to servicing it, can be in the several seconds range. In most cases, these test conditions are highly unusual, but possible. As a result, we're stalling the error handler in this race window so that we can avoid the device_offline transitions.

Currently it is impossible to reset provided by Qlogic QLA2xxx driver SCSI devices externally using corresponding sg devices, particularly via sg_reset utility, because qla2xxx driver in qla2xxx_eh_device_reset() function checks if the input scsi_cmnd has its private data (CMD_SP()) attached. Then the found pointer isn't used anywhere inside of qla2xxx_eh_device_reset(). If the RESET request comes from sg device, it doesn't have such private data. The attached patch removes check for non-NULL CMD_SP() from qla2xxx_eh_device_reset(), hence allows to reset QLA2xxx's devices using corresponding sg devices.

3e3183b David Woodhouse 05 August 2006, 19:15:19 UTC [PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errors While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling; don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_. If the yield() took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy), we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready. This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it. I see nice tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds between successive phases. Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all. We should be using interrupts. That's an exercise for another day though.

Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO. But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type that are not handled by pnp layer. So we should ignore the producer resources. This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292). Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer resources. Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be IO. With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound card).

This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a multiple of 4 bytes in length. [...] Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable for me. (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).) Steps to reproduce: Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g., "1", "22", "333", "4444", ... Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find"" This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

This patch performs that cleanup for the hvsi driver. The hvsi driver is used only on IBM pSeries PowerPC boxes.

If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly created item that we are never going to use. But as it hasn't been initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops. So move the ->init call earlier to that it will always be fully initilised if we have to put it. Thanks to Philipp Matthias Hahn <pmhahn@svs.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.de> for reporting the problem.

60c371b Andrew Morton 05 August 2006, 19:14:25 UTC [PATCH] fadvise() make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the file a single time". It seems to be intended that the implementation will use this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application gets around to reading or writing it. However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED. ie: it does readahead. That's daft. So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op. This is a non-back-compatible change. If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to perform readahead, they lose. The likelihood is low. If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data structures will be interesting.. A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.

I dont know what happens with the original spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

a7ef787 Rafael J. Wysocki 05 August 2006, 19:13:42 UTC [PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process. If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process. Ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6787 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

558e10a Diego Calleja 06 August 2006, 04:15:58 UTC [LAPB]: Fix windowsize check In bug #6954, Norbert Reinartz reported the following issue: "Function lapb_setparms() in file net/lapb/lapb_iface.c checks if the given parameters are valid. If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set. If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false. Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault. This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'. Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found this bug" He also pasted a fix, that I've transformated into a patch: Signed-off-by: Diego Calleja <diegocg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

c4c0ce5 Ilpo Järvinen 04 August 2006, 23:36:18 UTC [PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue average Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result in zero shift).

30a584d Stephen Hemminger 03 August 2006, 23:38:49 UTC [LLX]: SOCK_DGRAM interface fixes The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways. These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel version of STP. First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call was just copying out old data. Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on SOCK_DGRAM. This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.
