| b6174df | Zhang, Yanmin | 10 July 2006, 11:44:49 UTC | [PATCH] mmap zero-length hugetlb file with PROT_NONE to protect a hugetlb virtual area Sometimes, applications need below call to be successful although "/mnt/hugepages/file1" doesn't exist. fd = open("/mnt/hugepages/file1", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0755); *addr = mmap(NULL, 0x1024*1024*256, PROT_NONE, 0, fd, 0); As for regular pages (or files), above call does work, but as for huge pages, above call would fail because hugetlbfs_file_mmap would fail if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE) && len > inode->i_size). This capability on huge page is useful on ia64 when the process wants to protect one area on region 4, so other threads couldn't read/write this area. A famous JVM (Java Virtual Machine) implementation on IA64 needs the capability.

This patch (as746) makes the driver wait for the URB to complete whenever there's a timeout. Although timeouts in usb-storage are relatively uncommon, they do occur. Without this patch the code in 2.6.18-rc1 will fault within an interrupt handler, which is not nice at all.

| 8208179 | Linas Vepstas | 10 July 2006, 11:44:46 UTC | [PATCH] pci: initialize struct pci_dev.error_state The pci channel state is currently uninitialized, thus there are two ways of indicating that "everything's OK": 0 and 1. This is a bit of a burden. If a devce driver wants to check if the pci channel is in a working or a disconnected state, the driver writer must perform checks similar to if((pdev->error_state != 0) && (pdev->error_state != pci_channel_io_normal)) { whatever(); } which is rather akward. The first check is needed because stuct pci_dev is inited to all-zeros. The scond is needed because the error recovery will set the state to pci_channel_io_normal (which is not zero). This patch fixes this awkwardness.

This doesn't work properly and cause machines like the Quad g5 to fail booting later on when some drivers waits endlessly for an SMU request to complete. This is the second problem preventing boot on the Quad g5. This fixes it and also makes the SMU driver a bit more resilient to not having an interrupt.

| 6e99e45 | Benjamin Herrenschmidt | 10 July 2006, 11:44:42 UTC | [PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq code This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error. I removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a good idea to have one call do two different things. It also fixes a couple of corner cases. Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that. Setting the trigger is a different action which has a different call. The main changes are: - I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return the virtual number that was already mapped. It was called before to give an opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way. That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of map() to get it right. This is much simpler now. map() is only called on the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_ being used. You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't have to). - Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...) now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the generic code. That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the generic kernel interfaces. Also, using those interfaces guarantees that your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held, thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including mask/unmask/etc...) automatically. A result is that, for example, MPIC's own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware to the default triggers. - To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt is now set before map() callback is called for the controller. - The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type. - While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an interrupt number from the device. That number is then mapped using the default controller, and the trigger is set to level low. That default behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt tree like Pegasos. If it doesn't work for your platform, then either provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line() - Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> | 10 July 2006, 20:24:20 UTC |

| 7c785b7 | NeilBrown | 10 July 2006, 11:44:16 UTC | [PATCH] md: fix a plug/unplug race in raid5 When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on whether a bitmap is in use) queues to the main request queue. So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure the raid5 array is 'plugged'. However we don't. We currently plug the raid5 queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race. If something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on the queue and nothing will want to unplug them. Normally something else will plug and unplug the queue fairly soon, but there is a risk that nothing will.

| ff4e8d9 | NeilBrown | 10 July 2006, 11:44:16 UTC | [PATCH] md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncs We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync. However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current 'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors, not just io sectors. So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in particular before queue->queuedata is set. If the thread actually starts very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata and oops.

This shouldn't be able to happen as 3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged. However it happens none-the-less. This patch fixes the problem and is a reasonable thing to do, though it might hurt performance slightly in some cases.

| 25e206b | Peter Oberparleiter | 10 July 2006, 11:44:00 UTC | [PATCH] partitions: let partitions inherit policy from disk Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device (see patch below). My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions. When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field. This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be 'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g. the s390 DASD driver because partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

This has two undesirable effects: 1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.) 2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time. At the very least, this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of the time at which the task was woken. In addition, unless dest_rq is the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate due to inter CPU drift. Solution: Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

| b862f3b | Linus Torvalds | 08 July 2006, 22:24:18 UTC | i386: improve and correct inline asm memory constraints Use "+m" rather than a combination of "=m" and "m" for improved clarity and consistency. This also fixes some inlines that incorrectly didn't tell the compiler that they read the old value at all, potentially causing the compiler to generate bogus code. It appear that all of those potential bugs were hidden by the use of extra "volatile" specifiers on the data structures in question, though.

Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of clearing it, this workaround can be removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
