2007-03-28atl1: remove unnecessary crc inversionJay Cliburn
The original vendor driver contained a private ether_crc_le() function that produced an inverted crc. When we changed to the kernel version of ether_crc_le(), we neglected to undo the inversion. Let's do it now. Discovered by and patch proffered by Jose Alberto Reguero.

2007-03-28myri10ge: correctly detect when TSO should be usedBrice Goglin
Correctly detect when TSO should be used on transmit by looking at the skb->gso_size rather than seeing if the frame was larger than our MTU. The old method causes problems when a host with a large (jumbo) MTU is sending to a host with a small (standard) MTU.

2007-03-27[PATCH] aio: remove bare user-triggerable error printkZach Brown
The user can generate console output if they cause do_mmap() to fail during sys_io_setup(). This was seen in a regression test that does exactly that by spinning calling mmap() until it gets -ENOMEM before calling io_setup(). We don't need this printk at all, just remove it.

2007-03-27[PATCH] Revert "swsusp: disable nonboot CPUs before entering platform suspend"Rafael J. Wysocki
This reverts commit 94985134b7b46848267ed6b734320db01c974e72 and insteads removes the WARN_ON() that caused that commit in the first place. The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't work well on Thomas' system. So instead, remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c: init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't seem to occur in practice. [ I think we might want to disallow the case of multiple users of that mm, or something. Normally, playing with the current process page tables on the current CPU should be fine as long as we don't have other threads using those tables at the same time..

2007-03-27[PATCH] i2o: block IO errors on i2o diskVasily Averin
I2O subsystem has been broken in mainstream several months ago (after 2.6.18). Commit 4aff5e2333c9a1609662f2091f55c3f6fffdad36 from Jens Axboe split struct request ->flags into two parts: cmd_type and cmd_flags. In i2o layer this patch has replaced flag REQ_SPECIAL by the according cmd_type. However i2o has used REQ_SPECIAL not as command type but as driver-specific flag for the debug purposes. As result all i2o requests have type "special" now, are not processed to the hardware and fail with I/O error: i2o/hda:<3>Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 unable to read partition table block-osm: device added (TID: 207): i2o/hda The following patch removes the extra debug checks without any drawbacks and restores the normal driver's work.

2007-03-27[PATCH] uml: use correct register file size everywhereJeff Dike
This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size. FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the ptrace register file size. MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be. When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file. The patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future problems here.

2007-03-27[PATCH] correct slow acpi_pm ratingjohn stultz
On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer, because he has the PIIX4 bug. That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT. Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM, so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far. So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

2007-03-27KVM: Prevent system selectors leaking into guest on real->protected mode ↵Avi Kivity
transition on vmx Intel virtualization extensions do not support virtualizing real mode. So kvm uses virtualized vm86 mode to run real mode code. Unfortunately, this virtualized vm86 mode does not support the so called "big real" mode, where the segment selector and base do not agree with each other according to the real mode rules (base == selector << 4). To work around this, kvm checks whether a selector/base pair violates the virtualized vm86 rules, and if so, forces it into conformance. On a transition back to protected mode, if we see that the guest did not touch a forced segment, we restore it back to the original protected mode value. This pile of hacks breaks down if the gdt has changed in real mode, as it can cause a segment selector to point to a system descriptor instead of a normal data segment. In fact, this happens with the Windows bootloader and the qemu acpi bios, where a protected mode memcpy routine issues an innocent 'pop %es' and traps on an attempt to load a system descriptor. "Fix" by checking if the to-be-restored selector points at a system segment, and if so, coercing it into a normal data segment. The long term solution, of course, is to abandon vm86 mode and use emulation for big real mode. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2007-03-272/2 splice: dont readpageNick Piggin
Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us. Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate. This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a matter of course when removing the readpage logic. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-03-271/2 splice: dont stealNick Piggin
Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care of it later. We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives that guarantee. Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.

2007-03-27make elv_register() output atomicThibaut VARENE
Booting 2.6.21-rc3-g45592145 I noticed the following on one of my machines in the bootlog: io scheduler noop registered<6>Time: jiffies clocksource has been installed. io scheduler deadline registered (default) Looking at block/elevator.c, it appears that elv_register() uses two consecutive printks in a non-atomic way, leading to the above glitch. The attached trivial patch fixes this issue, by using a single printk. Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE <varenet@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-03-27block: blk_max_pfn is somtimes wrongVasily Tarasov
There is a small problem in handling page bounce. At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames. For example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not 0xFFFF. request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce pages for the pages _above_ this limit. This routine is handled by blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced: if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn) return; Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn equals 0x10000. In such situation the check above fails and for each bio we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio. I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md, ...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for bounce_pfn. BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and then the check above doesn't fail. But for other drivers, which obtain reuired value from drivers, it fails. For example sata_nv uses ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask. I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn. And the same for blk_max_low_pfn. The patch also cleanses some checks related with bounce_pfn.
