2007-04-04[PATCH] fix jiffies clocksource inittimejohn stultz
In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark the tsc as unstable before it is registered, the TSC would still be selected and used for a short period of time. Digging in it looks to be a result of the mix of the clocksource list changes and my clocksource initialization changes. With the -rt tree, using a bad TSC, even for a short period of time can results in a hang at boot. I was not able to reproduce this hang w/ mainline, but I'm not completely certain that someone won't trip on it. This patch resolves the issue by initializing the jiffies clocksource earlier so a bad TSC won't get selected just because nothing else is yet registered.

2007-04-04[PATCH] remove protection of LANANA-reserved majorsAndrew Morton
Revert all this. It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar, apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups. Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important enough to justify the churn.

This patch adds 2 missing symbol exports: jiffies_to_timeval() and timeval_to_jiffies(). The (not yet merged) dm-raid4-5 module will need them, and they used to be indirectly exported by virtue of being inline functions. Commit 8b9365d753d9870bb6451504c13570b81923228f ("[PATCH] Uninline jiffies.h functions") uninlined them, and thus modules now need them explicitly exported to use them.

2007-04-04[PATCH] net: Ignore sysfs network device rename bugs.Eric W. Biederman
The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has implementation bugs that device_rename when called from dev_change_name will fail. The current error handling for errors from device_rename in dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable network device if device_rename is happens to return an error. This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust. Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device, modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq, msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus, numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor) Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it for a 2.6.21 timeframe. This patch which just ignores errors should be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-04-04[S390] page_mkclean data corruption.Martin Schwidefsky
The git commit c2fda5fed81eea077363b285b66eafce20dfd45a which added the page_test_and_clear_dirty call to page_mkclean and the git commit 7658cc289288b8ae7dd2c2224549a048431222b3 which fixes the "nasty and subtle race in shared mmap'ed page writeback" problem in clear_page_dirty_for_io cause data corruption on s390. The effect of the two changes is that for every call to clear_page_dirty_for_io a page_test_and_clear_dirty is done. If the per page dirty bit is set set_page_dirty is called. Strangly clear_page_dirty_for_io is called for not-uptodate pages, e.g. over this call-chain: [<000000000007c0f2>] clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x12a/0x130 [<000000000007c494>] generic_writepages+0x258/0x3e0 [<000000000007c692>] do_writepages+0x76/0x7c [<00000000000c7a26>] __writeback_single_inode+0xba/0x3e4 [<00000000000c831a>] sync_sb_inodes+0x23e/0x398 [<00000000000c8802>] writeback_inodes+0x12e/0x140 [<000000000007b9ee>] wb_kupdate+0xd2/0x178 [<000000000007cca2>] pdflush+0x162/0x23c The bad news now is that page_test_and_clear_dirty might claim that a not-uptodate page is dirty since SetPageUptodate which resets the per page dirty bit has not yet been called. The page writeback that follows clobbers the data on disk. The simplest solution to this problem is to move the call to page_test_and_clear_dirty under the "if (page_mapped(page))". If a file backed page is mapped it is uptodate. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2007-04-042.6.21 fix lba48 bug in libata fill_result_tf()Mark Lord
Current 2.6.21 libata does the following: void ata_tf_read(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf) { struct ata_ioports *ioaddr = &ap->ioaddr; tf->command = ata_check_status(ap); ... if (tf->flags & ATA_TFLAG_LBA48) { iowrite8(tf->ctl | ATA_HOB, ioaddr->ctl_addr); tf->hob_feature = ioread8(ioaddr->error_addr); ... } } ... static void fill_result_tf(struct ata_queued_cmd *qc) { struct ata_port *ap = qc->ap; ap->ops->tf_read(ap, &qc->result_tf); qc->result_tf.flags = qc->tf.flags; } Based on this, those last two statements fill_result_tf() appear to me to be in the wrong order, in that the tf->flags are uninitialized at the point where tf_read() is invoked. So for lba48 commands, tf_read() won't be reading back the full lba48 register contents.. Correct? This patch corrects fill_result_tf() so that the flags get copied to result_tf before they are used by tf_read().

2007-04-03b44: fix IFF_ALLMULTI handling of CAM slotsBill Helfinstine
If you set the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a b44 device, or if you join more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE multicast groups, the device will stop receiving unicast messages. This is because the __b44_set_mac_addr call sets the zeroth CAM entry to the MAC address of the device, and then the loop at line 1722 proceeds to overwrite it unless the value of i is set by the __b44_load_mcast call. However, when IFF_ALLMULTI is set, that call is bypassed, leaving i set to zero. Fixed by starting the loop at 1 to make it skip the CAM entry for the MAC address.

2007-04-03[PATCH] msi: synchronously mask and unmask msi-x irqs.Eric W. Biederman
This is a simplified and actually more comprehensive form of a bug fix from Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>. When we mask or unmask a msi-x irqs the writes may be posted because we are writing to memory mapped region. This means the mask and unmask don't happen immediately but at some unspecified time in the future. Which is out of sync with how the mask/unmask logic work for ioapic irqs. The practical result is that we get very subtle and hard to track down irq migration bugs. This patch performs a read flush after writes to the MSI-X table for mask and unmask operations. Since the SMP affinity is set while the interrupt is masked, and since it's unmasked immediately after, no additional flushes are required in the various affinity setting routines. The testing by Mitch Williams on his especially problematic system should still be valid as I have only simplified the code, not changed the functionality. We currently have 7 drivers: cciss, mthca, cxgb3, forceth, s2io, pcie/portdrv_core, and qla2xxx in 2.6.21 that are affected by this problem when the hardware they driver is plugged into the right slot. Given the difficulty of reproducing this bug and tracing it down to anything that even remotely resembles a cause, even if people are being affected we aren't likely to see many meaningful bug reports, and the people who see this bug aren't likely to be able to reproduce this bug in a timely fashion. So it is best to get this problem fixed as soon as we can so people don't have problems. Then if people do have a kernel message stating "No irq for vector" we will know it is yet another novel cause that needs a complete new investigation.

This fixes a regression caused by commit: 2dc611de5a3fd955cd0298c50691d4c05046db97 The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got. Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up in the sense buffer. Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers are on sparc64: default: printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name); __scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd); scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr); err = -EIO; This is the error Tom Callaway reported in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2 Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later.

2007-04-02[PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problemRafael J. Wysocki
Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-04-02[PATCH] rtc-cmos lockdep fix, irq updatesDavid Brownell
Lockdep reported cmos_suspend() and cmos_resume() calling rtc_update_irq() with IRQs enabled; not allowed. Also fix problems seen on some hardware, whereby false alarm IRQs could be reported (primarily to userspace); and update two comments to match changes in ACPI. Those make up most of this patch, by volume.

2007-04-02[PATCH] revert "retries in ext3_prepare_write() violate ordering requirements"Andrew Morton
Revert e92a4d595b464c4aae64be39ca61a9ffe9c8b278. Dmitry points out "When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to "failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage." and "Unexpected file size increasing." Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different. For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks , but fs has only one free block. ->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048) retry: ->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here. ->ext3_prepare_failure() ->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :) if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries)) goto retry; Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return -ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't help here. We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put things back the way they were for now.

2007-04-02[PATCH] CPUSETS: add mems to basic usage documentationSimon Horman
It seems that there must be at least one node in mems and at least one CPU in cpus in order to be able to assign tasks to a cpuset. This makes sense. And I think it would also make sense to include a mems setting in the basic usage section of the documentation. I also wonder if something logged to dmsg, explaining why a write failed, would be a good enhancement. I ended up having rummage arround in cpuset.c in order to work out why my configuration was failing.
