464cf17 Tejun Heo 27 May 2007, 13:10:40 UTC libata: always use polling SETXFER Several people have reported LITE-ON LTR-48246S detection failed because SETXFER fails. It seems the device raises IRQ too early after SETXFER. This is controller independent. The same problem has been reported for different controllers. So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's ready after SETXFER and a device which does similar thing. This patch makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling. As this only happens during EH, performance impact is nil. Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only place where SETXFER can be issued. Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement SFF TF interface and use libata HSM. More advanced controllers ignore the flag. This doesn't matter for this fix as SFF TF controllers are the problematic ones. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> 04 June 2007, 20:48:34 UTC

1dfa281 Dmitry Torokhov 04 June 2007, 03:29:36 UTC Input: reduce raciness when input handlers disconnect There is a race between input handler's release() and disconnect() methods: when input handler disconnects it wakes up all regular users and then process to walk user list to wake up async. users. While disconnect() walks the list release() removes elements of the same list causing oopses. While this is not a substibute for proper locking we can reduce odds of getting an oops if we wake up normal readers after walking the list.

4fcd6b9 Herbert Xu 01 June 2007, 05:15:50 UTC [NET] gso: Fix GSO feature mask in sk_setup_caps This isn't a bug just yet as only TCP uses sk_setup_caps for GSO. However, if and when UDP or something else starts using it this is likely to cause a problem if we forget to add software emulation for it at the same time. The problem is that right now we translate GSO emulation to the bitmask NETIF_F_GSO_MASK, which includes every protocol, even ones that we cannot emulate. This patch makes it provide only the ones that we can emulate. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 04 June 2007, 01:08:49 UTC

b206a65 Jeff Garzik 01 June 2007, 04:26:23 UTC [ATM]: Fix warning. The compiler warning drivers/atm/firestream.c: In function ‘top_off_fp’: drivers/atm/firestream.c:1505: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size does indicate a bug, albeit a minor one. Fixed, by using a 32-bit temporary prior to the call to bus_to_virt(). The larger bug is still present: the entire driver assumes that machine pointers are 32-bit, as it stores pointers in 32-bit hardware registers. This is obvious to anyone who knows the driver well, but for the casual readers it is helpfully noted with FIXME. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

3f196eb Mark Glines 31 May 2007, 22:44:48 UTC [TCP]: Use default 32768-61000 outgoing port range in all cases. This diff changes the default port range used for outgoing connections, from "use 32768-61000 in most cases, but use N-4999 on small boxes (where N is a multiple of 1024, depending on just *how* small the box is)" to just "use 32768-61000 in all cases". I don't believe there are any drawbacks to this change, and it keeps outgoing connection ports farther away from the mess of IANA-registered ports.

278a3de David S. Miller 31 May 2007, 22:19:20 UTC [AF_UNIX]: Fix datagram connect race causing an OOPS. Based upon an excellent bug report and initial patch by Frederik Deweerdt. The UNIX datagram connect code blindly dereferences other->sk_socket via the call down to the security_unix_may_send() function. Without locking 'other' that pointer can go NULL via unix_release_sock() which does sock_orphan() which also marks the socket SOCK_DEAD. So we have to lock both 'sk' and 'other' yet avoid all kinds of potential deadlocks (connect to self is OK for datagram sockets and it is possible for two datagram sockets to perform a simultaneous connect to each other). So what we do is have a "double lock" function similar to how we handle this situation in other areas of the kernel. We take the lock of the socket pointer with the smallest address first in order to avoid ABBA style deadlocks. Once we have them both locked, we check to see if SOCK_DEAD is set for 'other' and if so, drop everything and retry the lookup. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 04 June 2007, 01:08:42 UTC
007a880 Michael Chan 31 May 2007, 21:49:51 UTC [TG3]: Fix link problem on Dell's onboard 5906. The bug is caused by code that always set (TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT | TG3_FLAG_USE_LINKCHG_REG) on all Dell's onboard devices. With these 2 flags set, the link status is polled by tg3_timer() and will only work when the PHY is set up to interrupt the MAC on link changes. This breaks 5906 because the 5906 PHY does not support TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT the same as other PHYs. For correctness, only Dell's onboard 5701 needs these 2 flags to be set. This change will fix the 5906 problem and will change other Dell devices except 5700 and 5701 to use the more efficient interrupt-driven link changes. Update version to 3.77.

b610b97 David Gibson 29 May 2007, 05:37:12 UTC [POWERPC] Don't use HOSTCFLAGS in BOOTCFLAGS In the bootwrapper code for powerpc, we include HOSTCFLAGS into the BOOTCFLAGS used for building the zImage wrapper code. Since the wrapper code is not host code, this makes no sense. This patch removes the use of HOSTCFLAGS here, instead including directly into BOOTCFLAGS those flags from the normal kernel CFLAGS which also make sense in the bootwrapper code. In particular, this makes the bootwrapper use -msoft-float, preventing the compiler from generating floating point instructions. Previously, under some circumstances the compiler could generate floating point instructions in the bootwrapper which would cause exceptions on embedded CPUS which don't have floating point support.

6ad8d01 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 27 May 2007, 05:18:22 UTC [POWERPC] Fix possible access to free pages I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching. The common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB batch. It does that because it delays all page freeing until after tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to the freed pages. However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error. This fixes it.

This fix to the aac_shutdown handler will remove the superfluous reset of the adapter during a (clean) kexec. This fix may mitigate the active investigation 'kexec and aacraid broken' but it is unlikely to affect the root cause (issue likely present in both kexec and kdump). This patch reduces the chance the problem will occur with a kexec.

025a221 Jay Estabrook 01 June 2007, 07:47:03 UTC ALPHA: support graphics on non-zero PCI domains This code replaces earlier and incomplete handling of graphics on non-zero PCI domains (aka hoses or peer PCI buses). An option (CONFIG_VGA_HOSE) is set TRUE if configuring a GENERIC kernel, or a kernel for MARVEL, TITAN, or TSUNAMI machines, as these are the machines whose SRM consoles are capable of configuring and handling graphics options on non-zero hoses. All other machines have the option set FALSE. A routine, "find_console_vga_hose()", is used to find the graphics device which the machine's firmware believes is the console device, and it sets a global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device. This is called in "init_arch" on TITAN and TSUNAMI machines; MARVEL machines use a custom version of this routine because of extra complexity. A routine, "locate_and_init_vga()", is used to find the graphics device and set a global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device, in the case where "find_console_vga_hose" has failed. Various adjustments are made to the ioremap and ioportmap routines for detecting and translating "legacy" VGA register and memory references to the real PCI domain.

If the transfer is longer than the size of this buffer, it is split into multiple DMA transfers. When the transfer is split like this, the atmel_spi driver ends up using the same DMA address again and again even for the buffer that came from the user, which is of course wrong. Fix this by adding the number of bytes already transferred to the DMA address so that the data ends up in the right place. Thanks to Wu Xuan for discovering this bug.

This means that job_control() and tty_check_change() may return -ERESTARTSYS without signal_pending().

632155e Yoann Padioleau 01 June 2007, 07:46:35 UTC potential parse error in ifdef I have made a tool to parse the kernel that does not pre-process the source. That means that my parser tries to parse all the code, including code in the #else branch or code that is not often compiled because the driver is not very used (or not used at all). So, my parser sometimes reports parse error not originally detected by gcc. Here is my (first) patch.
