c43a508 Jens Axboe 12 January 2007, 11:20:26 UTC [PATCH] blktrace: only add a bounce trace when we really bounce Currently we issue a bounce trace when __blk_queue_bounce() is called, but that merely means that the device has a lower dma mask than the higher pages in the system. The bio itself may still be lower pages. So move the bounce trace into __blk_queue_bounce(), when we know there will actually be page bouncing.

The driver cleanup missed a few places where the driver did set .Present to PRESENT_OPTION and later to the values from the CIS. Setting to PRESENT_OPTION now overrides the values from the CIS.

e3db769 Trond Myklebust 11 January 2007, 07:15:39 UTC [PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

b282b6f Gautham R Shenoy 11 January 2007, 07:15:34 UTC [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up' This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are defined as __devinit AND __cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions. Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration, we get a .text refering .init.data warning. This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or are of __init type. Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would land up in .init section.

47a4d5b Brice Goglin 11 January 2007, 07:15:29 UTC [PATCH] increment pos before looking for the next cap in __pci_find_next_ht_cap While testing 2.6.20-rc3 on a machine with some CK804 chipsets, we noticed that quirk_nvidia_ck804_msi_ht_cap() was not detecting HT MSI capabilities anymore. It is actually caused by the MSI mapping on the root chipset being the 2nd HT capability in the chain. pci_find_ht_capability() does not seem to find anything but the first HT cap correctly, because it forgets to increment the position before looking for the next cap. The following patch seems to fix it. At least, this proves that having a ttl is good idea since the machine would have been stucked in an infinite loop if we didn't have a ttl :) We have to pass pos + PCI_CAP_LIST_NEXT to __pci_find_next_cap_ttl to get the next HT cap instead of the same one again.

e5e5673 Nathan Lynch 11 January 2007, 07:15:28 UTC [PATCH] sched: tasks cannot run on cpus onlined after boot Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are added to the system later. Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.

c71551a Linus Torvalds 12 January 2007, 02:18:04 UTC Don't put "linux_banner" in the .init section It might save a few bytes after bootup, but it causes the string to be linked in at the end of the final vmlinux image, which defeats the whole point of doing all this, namely allowing some broken user-space binaries to search for the kernel version string in the kernel binary. So just remove the __init specifier.

ed5316d Jack Steiner 11 January 2007, 00:52:44 UTC [PATCH] x86-64: - Ignore long SMI interrupts in clock calibration Ensure that no SMI interrupts occur between the read of the HPET & TSC in the clock calibration loop. I noticed that a 2.66GHz system incorrectly detected the processor clock speed about 1/7 of the time: time.c: Detected 2660.005 MHz processor. (most of the time) time.c: Detected 2988.203 MHz processor. (sometime) The problem is caused by an SMI interrupt occuring in hpet_calibrate_tsc() between the read of the HPET & TSC. Prior to switching the BIOS into ACPI mode, it appears that every 27msec an SMI interrupt occurs. The SMI interrupt takes 4.8 msec to process. Note: On my test system, TICK_MIN had to be >380. I picked 5000 to minimize risk of having a value that is too small for other platforms.

Anyway this function is really small so not freeing this memory after init is not a big deal. Secondly, from a programming perspective, probably genapic should not provide pointers to functions which have been freed as genapic is non __init and is used even after initialization is complete.

4a5d107 Vivek Goyal 11 January 2007, 00:52:44 UTC [PATCH] i386: cpu hotplug/smpboot misc MODPOST warning fixes o Misc smpboot/cpu hotplug path cleanups. I did those to supress the warnings generated by MODPOST. These warnings are visible only if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. o CONFIG_RELOCATABLE compiles the kernel with --emit-relocs option. This option retains relocation information in vmlinux file and MODPOST is quick to spit out "Section mismatch" warnings. o This patch fixes some of those warnings. Many of the functions in smpboot case are __devinit type and they in turn accesses text/data which if of type __cpuinit. Now if CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n then we end up in cases where a function in .text segment is calling another function in .init.text segment and MODPOST emits warning.

8a93c49 Alexander Bigga 21 December 2006, 10:25:19 UTC [MIPS] Alchemy: Fix PCI-memory access The problem was introduced in 2.6.18.3 with the casting of some 36bit-defines (PCI memory) in au1000.h to resource_size_t which may be u32 or u64 depending on the experimental CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT. With unset CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT, the pci-memory cannot be accessed because the ioremap in arch/mips/au1000/common/pci.c already used the truncated addresses. With set CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT, things get even worse, because PCI-scan aborts, due to resource conflict: request_resource() in arch/mips/pci/pci.c fails because the maximum iomem-address is 0xffffffff (32bit) but the pci-memory-start-address is 0x440000000 (36bit). To get pci working again, I propose the following patch: 1. remove the resource_size_t-casting from au1000.h again 2. make the casting in arch/mips/au1000/common/pci.c (it's allowed and necessary here. The 36bit-handling will be done in __fixup_bigphys_addr). With this patch pci works again like in 2.6.18.2, the gcc-compile warnings in pci.c are gone and it doesn't depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

The MMC command set includes only MODE SENSE 10. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7800 This fix lets sbp2 switch scsi_device.use_10_for_rw on for MMC LUs.

2f5c33b Mark M. Hoffman 09 January 2007, 03:11:29 UTC [PATCH] i2c/pci: fix sis96x smbus quirk once and for all The sis96x SMBus PCI device depends on two different quirks to run in a specific order. Apart from being fragile, this was found to actually break on (at least) recent FC4, FC5, and FC6 kernels. This patch fixes the quirks so that they work without relying on the compiler and/or linker to put them in any specific order. http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-April/015962.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189719 I tested this patch.

d8ad075 Heiko Carstens 09 January 2007, 09:18:50 UTC [S390] don't call handle_mm_fault() if in an atomic context. There are several places in the futex code where a spin_lock is held and still uaccesses happen. Deadlocks are avoided by increasing the preempt count.
