2006-06-12[PATCH] libata: fix oops caused rescanning NULL sdevTejun Heo
Depending on timing, ata_scsi_dev_rescan() might encounter a device which is enabled but not yet attached to sdev. On such cases, the original code caused oops. This patch makes ata_scsi_dev_rescan() rescan only device which are attached to sdevs. While at it, properly indent leading comment and add description about how it's synchronized with sdev attach/detach.

2006-06-12[PATCH] sata_sil: update device hotplug handling, take #2Tejun Heo
SIEN on some 3112 controllers doesn't mask SATA IRQ properly. IRQ stays asserted even after SIEN is masked and IRQ is acked. Also, even while frozen, any SATA PHY event including hardreset raises SATA IRQ. Clearing SError seems to be the only way to deassert SATA IRQ. This patch makes sil_host_intr() clear SError on SATA IRQs and ignore SATA IRQs reported while frozen so that hardreset doesn't trigger hotplug event (which ends up hardresetting again). In such cases, the port still gets re-frozen to minimize the danger of screaming interrupts. This results in one nil EH repeat on controllers with broken SIEN but other than that does no harm.

Bug fix: mv_eng_timeout() calls mv_err_intr() without first grabbing the host lock, which can lead to all sorts of interesting scenarios.

2006-06-10[PATCH] Further alterations for memory barrier documentDavid Howells
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan Stern. The following changes were made: (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory barriers was wrong. (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both. (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the opposite order to the stores around the write barrier. (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to the stores. (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences" section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier. (*) Added a section on memory speculation. (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be worthy of further documentation later. (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

2006-06-10[SPARC64]: Avoid JBUS errors on some Niagara systems.David S. Miller
Doing PCI config space accesses to non-present PCI slots can result in fatal JBUS errors if the PCI config access hypervisor call is performed on cpus other than the boot cpu. PCI config space accesses to present PCI slots works just fine. Recursively traverse the OBP device tree under the PCI controller node and record all present device IDs into a small hash table. Avoid the hypervisor call for any PCI config space access attempt for a device not recorded in the hash table. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Get rid of all the SUN_570X logic and instead: 1) Make sure MEMARB_ENABLE is set when we probe the SRAM for config information. If that is off we will get timeouts. 2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead just report it the first time we notice this condition. 3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device is onboard by setting TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT.

Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case.

2006-06-08[PATCH] elevator switching raceJens Axboe
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be invoked with bad or NULL data. To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer. Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts, and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach inside the lock after we detach the old one. This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching with a very busy io load. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
