2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: rename ATA_FLAG_PORT_DISABLED to ATA_FLAG_DISABLEDTejun Heo
Rename ATA_FLAG_PORT_DISABLED to ATA_FLAG_DISABLED for consistency. (ATA_FLAG_* are always about ports). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: clean up constantsTejun Heo
* Reorder ATA_DFLAG_* such that feature flags determined by ata_dev_configure() are on lower bits. Reserve lower eight bits for this purpose and allocate dynamic flags from bit 8. * Reorder ATA_FLAG_* such that feature flags determined during driver initiailization are on bits 0:15, dynamic flags on 16:23 and LLDD specific flags on 24:31. * Kill trailing white space and lower-case an one line comment for consistency.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: consider disabled devices in ata_dev_xfermask()Tejun Heo
ata_bus_probe() now marks failed devices properly and leaves meaningful transfer mode masks. This patch makes ata_dev_xfermask() consider disable devices when determining PIO mode to avoid violating device selection timing. While at it, move port-wide resttriction out of device iteration loop and try to make the function look a bit prettier.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: improve ata_bus_probe()Tejun Heo
Improve ata_bus_probe() such that configuration failures are handled better. Each device is given ATA_PROBE_MAX_TRIES chances, but any non-transient error (revalidation failure with -ENODEV, configuration failure with -EINVAL...) disables the device directly. Any IO error results in SATA PHY speed down and ata_set_mode() failure lowers transfer mode. The last try always puts a device into PIO-0. After each failure, the whole port is reset to make sure that the controller and all the devices are in a known and stable state. The reset also applies SATA SPD configuration if necessary.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: implement ata_down_xfermask_limit()Tejun Heo
Implement ata_down_xfermask_limit(). This function manipulates @dev->pio/mwdma/udma_mask such that the next lower transfer mode is selected. This will be used to improve ata_bus_probe() failure handling and later by EH. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: use SATA speed down in ata_drive_probe_reset()Tejun Heo
Make ata_drive_probe_reset() use SATA SPD configuration. Hardreset will be force if speed renegotiation is necessary. Also, if a hardreset fails, PHY speed is stepped down and hardreset is retried until the lowest speed is reached.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: implement ap->sata_spd_limit and helpersTejun Heo
ap->sata_spd_limit contrains SATA PHY speed of the port. It is initialized to the configured value prior to probing thus preserving BIOS configured value. hardreset is responsible for applying SPD limit and sata_std_hardreset() is updated to do that. SATA SPD limit will be used to enhance failure handling during probing and later by EH. This patch also normalizes some comments around affected code.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: implement ata_dev_absent()Tejun Heo
For the time being we cannot use ata_dev_present() as it was renamed to ata_dev_enabled() but we still need presence test. Implement negation of the test. Conveniently, the negated result is needed in more places. This is suggested by Jeff Garzik. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-04-01[PATCH] libata: don't disable devices from ata_set_mode()Tejun Heo
When ata_set_mode() fails on a device, make ata_set_mode() return error code and pointer to the device instead of disabling it directly. This gives more control to higher level driving logic. This patch does not change the end result (configured transfer mode) although it may make libata repeat mode configuration to the peer of a failing device.

2006-04-01[PATCH] libata: implement ata_dev_enabled and disabled()Tejun Heo
This patch renames ata_dev_present() to ata_dev_enabled() and adds ata_dev_disabled(). This is to discern the state where a device is present but disabled from not-present state. This disctinction is necessary when configuring transfer mode because device selection timing must not be violated even if a device fails to configure.

2006-03-31[CIFS] Incorrect signature sent on SMB ReadSteve French
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147 For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures. This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures. Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory). Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not required at the moment but after more testing we will enable that as well). Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

2006-03-31[PATCH] Document Linux's memory barriers [try #7]David Howells
The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers. I've updated it from the comments I've been given. The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many exceptions, that it's not worth having them. I've added a list of references to other documents. I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus; what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the system. Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be there, but you may not rely on them. I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify what this document refers to by the term "memory". I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb(). I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data dependency not being necessarily implicit. I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends(). I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples. I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic ops and bitops. I've added information about control dependencies. I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-31[PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class ImprovementsRichard Purdie
Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly. Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are included: The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the backlight_properties structure. The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the backlight_properties structure. Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the backlight_properties structure. The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any driver/device specific factors). Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal. The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

2006-03-31[PATCH] pidhash: Refactor the pid hash tableEric W. Biederman
Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the code more capable. In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the cleanup itself justified the work. With struct pid being dynamically allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed. Instead of playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a process. For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free with simpler code was a big win. The problem is that if you hold a reference to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory. If you do that in a user controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a machine wight 1GB of low memory. If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders of magnitude smaller. In fact struct pid is small enough that most other kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory. This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one. struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in struct task_struct. struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds pointers to each of the pid types. The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid, because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table. In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much more powerful. Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and not suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily large amounts of memory allocated.
