701dfbc [PATCH] mm: mremap correct rmap accounting Nick Piggin points out that page accounting on MIPS multiple ZERO_PAGEs is not maintained by its move_pte, and could lead to freeing a ZERO_PAGE. Instead of complicating that move_pte, just forget the minor optimization when mremapping, and change the one thing which needed it for correctness - filemap_xip use ZERO_PAGE(0) throughout instead of according to address.

8339f00 [PATCH] i386: In assign_irq_vector look at all vectors before giving up When the world was a simple and static place setting up irqs was easy. It sufficed to allocate a linux irq number and a find a free cpu vector we could receive that linux irq on. In those days it was a safe assumption that any allocated vector was actually in use so after one global pass through all of the vectors we would have none left. These days things are much more dynamic with interrupt controllers (in the form of MSI or MSI-X) appearing on plug in cards and linux irqs appearing and disappearing. As these irqs come and go vectors are allocated and freed, invalidating the ancient assumption that all allocated vectors stayed in use forever. So this patch modifies the vector allocator to walk through every possible vector before giving up, and to check to see if a vector is in use before assigning it. With these changes we stop leaking freed vectors and it becomes possible to allocate and free irq vectors all day long. This changed was modeled after the vector allocator on x86_64 where this limitation has already been removed. In essence we don't update the static variables that hold the position of the last vector we allocated until have successfully allocated another vector. This allows us to detect if we have completed one complete scan through all of the possible vectors. Acked-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

7a238fc [PATCH] namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exit Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in. A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes the NFS oops. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

The reset sequence includes a PHY reset that will take many seconds to complete and cause the link to go down and up. By skipping the PHY reset, it will greatly reduce the interruption when ISTAT_ERRORS are encountered. Change the full_reset parameter to reset_kind parameter in b44_init_hw(). This will allow PHY reset to be skipped when ISTAT_ERRORS are encountered.

It sends an ATA STANDBY command with the time period set to 0, which the code comment says means "now", but the ATA standard says this means disable the standby timer, which effectively does nothing. Change this to issue a STANDBY IMMEDIATE command which will actually spin the drive down. The SAT (SCSI/ATA Translation) standard revision 9 concurs with this choice.

dc6e29d Fix balance_dirty_page() calculations with CONFIG_HIGHMEM This makes balance_dirty_page() always base its calculations on the amount of non-highmem memory in the machine, rather than try to base it on total memory and then falling back on non-highmem memory if the mapping it was writing wasn't highmem capable. This not only fixes a situation where two different writers can have wildly different notions about what is a "balanced" dirty state, but it also means that people with highmem machines don't run into an OOM situation when regular memory fills up with dirty pages. We used to try to handle the latter case by scaling down the dirty_ratio if the machine had a lot of highmem pages in page_writeback_init(), but it wasn't aggressive enough for some situations, and since basing the dirty ratio on highmem memory was broken in the first place, let's just stop doing so. (A variation of this theme fixed Justin Piszcz's OOM problem when copying an 18GB file on a RAID setup).

7d2aae1 [PATCH] ALSA: Fix sysfs breakage The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the /sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object: /sys/class/sound ... |-- pcmC0D0c | |-- dev | |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0 | |-- pcm_class | |-- power | | `-- wakeup | |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound | `-- uevent Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling. This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version, which points to a real device object. The card* object is stored in a new card->card_dev field, instead. The device parent is chosen either card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to keep the tree compatibility. Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes little sense if each sound device points to the real device object directly.

According to the SCSI standards, the sense code is NO SENSE or RECOVERED ERROR in case writing filemark(s) succeeds. If it fails (partly or completely) the sense code is VOLUME OVERFLOW.

477ffb9 [SCSI] qla4xxx: bug fixes The included patch fixes the following issues: 1. qla3xxx/qla4xxx co-existence issue which can result in a lockup when qla3xxx driver is unloaded, or when ifdown; ifup is performed on one of the interfaces correponding to qla3xxx. This is because qla4xxx HBA supports one ethernet and iscsi interfaces per port. Both iscsi and ethernet interfaces share the same state machine.

86d4325 [SPARC64]: Set g4/g5 properly in sun4v dtlb-prot handling. Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update both registers even when we branch out to window fault fixup handling. The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information. If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first. Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and process the original fault at that time. This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap registers are in these code paths. These cases trigger very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication it's doesn't happen very often. In fact the rarity is why it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.

8cdf92a Fix Maple PATA IRQ assignment. On the Maple board, the AMD8111 IDE is in legacy mode... except that it appears on IRQ 20 instead of IRQ 15. For drivers/ide this was handled by the architecture's "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function, but in libata we just hard-code the numbers 14 and 15. This patch provides asm-powerpc/libata-portmap.h which maps the IRQ as appropriate, having added a pci_dev argument to the ATA_{PRIM,SECOND}ARY_IRQ macros. There's probably a better way to do this -- especially if we observe that the _only_ case in which this seemingly-generic "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function returns anything other than 14 and 15 for primary and secondary respectively is the case of the AMD8111 on the Maple board -- couldn't we handle that with a special case in the pata_amd driver, or perhaps with a PCI quirk for Maple to switch it into native mode during early boot and assign resources properly?

This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a write-out to the md device. For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that requires getting the mddev_lock.

a0ad13e [PATCH] knfsd: Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsd nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'. It then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed. This hides any other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg recently changed from ino_t to u64. So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type, change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to 'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking on the calling of these functions now.

bfa152f [PATCH] dm-multipath: fix stall on noflush suspend/resume Allow noflush suspend/resume of device-mapper device only for the case where the device size is unchanged. Otherwise, dm-multipath devices can stall when resumed if noflush was used when suspending them, all paths have failed and queue_if_no_path is set. Explanation: 1. Something is doing fsync() on the block dev, holding inode->i_sem 2. The fsync write is blocked by all-paths-down and queue_if_no_path 3. Someone requests to suspend the dm device with noflush. Pending writes are left in queue. 4. In the middle of dm_resume(), __bind() tries to get inode->i_sem to do __set_size() and waits forever. 'noflush suspend' is a new device-mapper feature introduced in early 2.6.20. So I hope the fix being included before 2.6.20 is released. Example of reproducer: 1. Create a multipath device by dmsetup 2. Fail all paths during mkfs 3. Do dmsetup suspend --noflush and load new map with healthy paths 4.

da977b2 [PATCH] 9p: fix segfault caused by race condition in meta-data operations Running dbench multithreaded exposed a race condition where fid structures were removed while in use. This patch adds semaphores to meta-data operations to protect the fid structure. Some cleanup of error-case handling in the inode operations is also included.

f49d5e6 [PATCH] md: avoid reading past the end of a bitmap file In most cases we check the size of the bitmap file before reading data from it. However when reading the superblock, we always read the first PAGE_SIZE bytes, which might not always be appropriate. So limit that read to the size of the file if appropriate. Also, we get the count of available bytes wrong in one place, so that too can read past the end of the file.

1031be7 [PATCH] md: make sure the events count in an md array never returns to zero Now that we sometimes step the array events count backwards (when transitioning dirty->clean where nothing else interesting has happened - so that we don't need to write to spares all the time), it is possible for the event count to return to zero, which is potentially confusing and triggers and MD_BUG. We could possibly remove the MD_BUG, but is just as easy, and probably safer, to make sure we never return to zero.
