e9ca75b Gerald Britton 14 May 2007, 17:53:01 UTC cciss: Fix pci_driver.shutdown while device is still active Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem on a cciss device is still active. The cciss_remove_one function only properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called. This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches. It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the __devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as the pci_driver.shutdown method.

From the changelog: after this patch: ... delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

b465223 Linus Torvalds 18 May 2007, 03:18:11 UTC Revert "[PATCH] x86: Drop cc-options call for all options supported in gcc 3.2+" This reverts commit c8fdd247255a3a027cd9f66dcf93e6847d1d2f85. It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc bug. The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2" is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64 will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to generate 32-bit code.

3b6330c Scott Wood 16 May 2007, 20:06:59 UTC gianfar: Add I/O barriers when touching buffer descriptor ownership. The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer, it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final state. Thus, I/O barriers are added where required. Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb. Hardware reordering was also theoretically possible. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> 18 May 2007, 00:43:15 UTC

5bb96e9 Eugene Surovegin 16 May 2007, 18:59:48 UTC ibm_emac: improved PHY support Original patch is from Jeff Haran <jharan@brocade.com> with my minor style fixes. His comments follow: The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4), followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843) the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set (bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear before doing the modify/write. The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.

4ce61d1 Satyam Sharma 17 May 2007, 06:50:16 UTC [BLUETOOTH]: Fix locking in hci_sock_dev_event(). We presently use lock_sock() to acquire a lock on a socket in hci_sock_dev_event(), but this goes BUG because lock_sock() can sleep and we're already holding a read-write spinlock at that point. So, we must use the non-sleeping BH version, bh_lock_sock(). However, hci_sock_dev_event() is called from user context and hence using simply bh_lock_sock() will deadlock against a concurrent softirq that tries to acquire a lock on the same socket. Hence, disabling BH's before acquiring the socket lock and enable them afterwards, is the proper solution to fix socket locking in hci_sock_dev_event().

If we detected it as a NS16550A SuperIO chip in the first place and set baud_base to 921600, then we should do so again in the resume path. This patch adds that code to serial8250_resume_port(), and also makes serial8250_resume() actually call serial8250_resume_port() for each port instead of just calling uart_resume_port() directly. And thus fixes serial port operation after suspend/resume. It also fixes a bogus comment where we write the EXCR2 register with a comment saying /* EXCR1 */ Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 17 May 2007, 12:25:49 UTC

This means the allocation of radix tree nodes is done with GFP_NOFS and the allocation of a new page is done using GFP_NOFS. The mapping has a flags field that contains the necessary allocation flags for the page cache allocation. These need to be consulted in order to get DMA and HIGHMEM allocations etc right. And yes a blockdev could be allowing Highmem allocations if its a ramdisk.

0aa817f Christoph Lameter 17 May 2007, 05:11:01 UTC Slab allocators: define common size limitations Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB. So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations. For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past) Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support. CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it. It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

847f597 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 16 May 2007, 06:57:24 UTC [POWERPC] Make sure device node type/name is not NULL on hot-added nodes Our device-tree unflattening code makes sure the name and type fields of a device-node are not NULL. However, the code for dynamically adding devices nodes which is used for pSeries hotplug for example didn't do it, potentially causing crashes in some code that assume it can always do things like strcmp on those.

c72ea77 David Gibson 16 May 2007, 03:48:50 UTC [POWERPC] Small fixes for the Ebony device tree This patch corrects a number of minor errors in the Ebony device tree: - Missing (given as 0) cache sizes are added to the CPU node - device_type properties are removed from nodes which don't have a reasonably well defined device_type binding. This does require a very small code change to locate the busses to be probed for of_platform devices by 'compatible' instead of 'device_type'. - A node is added for the SRAM controller - The unit address of the small-flash node is adjusted to correctly reflect the reg property. - device_type values for the MAL and ZMII are updated to reflected more up-to-date versions of the binding. - An incorrect offset in the partition map for the large-flash node is corrected. - Some redundant values, already commented out are removed entirely.

de82120 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 15 May 2007, 06:19:36 UTC [POWERPC] Fix IO space on PCI buses created from of_platform This changes the way of_platform_pci creates PCI host bridges such that it uses request_phb_iospace() for mapping the IO ports, instead of using the dynamic hotplug stuff. That guarantees the IO space stays within the 2GB limit and thus doesn't break half of the legacy drivers around. Fixes a couple of warnings due to missing IO space while at it. This patch is a temporary workaround for 2.6.22 before a more complete rewrite of IO mappings is merged in 2.6.23 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 17 May 2007, 11:11:14 UTC

7c40542 David Gibson 14 May 2007, 03:13:57 UTC [POWERPC] Fix bug adding properties with flatdevtree.c's ft_set_prop() ft_set_prop() from flatdevtree.c in the zImage wrapper will either replace an existing property in the flat device tree, or add a new property definiion if the given property isn't present. However, when adding properties, it adds the property definition immediately before the node's END_NODE tag, potentially after any subnode definitions for the node. This confuses the kernel flat tree parser in prom.c which assumes that all property definitions for a node come before all subnode definitions. This patch corrects ft_set_prop() so that it adds new properties before the first subnode, instead of before the END_NODE tag.

e3d67b6 David Gibson 14 May 2007, 01:43:20 UTC [POWERPC] Remove fixup_bigphys_addr() for arch/powerpc to avoid link error There are no actual implementations of fixup_bigphys_addr() in arch/powerpc, and with a 64-bit aware ioremap() and so forth, it should no longer be necessary. This patch removes the last dregs of fixup_bigphys_addr() from arch/powerpc. In fact, the only reason this hasn't caused link errors already is that nobody must have tried using one of the small number of drivers using io_remap_pfn_range() on one of the small number of platforms which are 32-bit but define CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT. Nonetheless this fixes a bug, and should go into 2.6.22. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 17 May 2007, 11:11:13 UTC
