As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() commit: 071b6386 was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that. From the changelog: after this patch: ... delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress. The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV, it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this work_struct.

This reverts commit c8fdd247. It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc bug. The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2" is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64 will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to generate 32-bit code.

With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't necessary anymore. If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata warns. If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does the right thing. Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

As with all other drivers, sata_nv's hpriv is allocated with devm_kzalloc() and there's no need to free it explicitly. Kill nv_remove_one() which incorrectly used kfree() instead of devm_kfree() and use ata_pci_remove_one() directly. Original fix is from Peer Chen. Signed-off-by:

Because nvidia SATA controllers onward base on AHCI, so wildcard in sata_nv driver is unnecessary. Also the wildcard sometimes cause sata_nv driver to be loaded for AHCI controllers,which is not as expected. Signed-off-by:

pci_enable_msi failure is a normal event so we should not print any error. Going over the code I spotted a missing pci_disable_msi() leak when irq allocation fails. The whole code also needed a cleanup, so I combined the two different calls to pci_request_irq into a single call making this look a lot better. All #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_MSI's have been removed. Compile tested with both CONFIG_PCI_MSI enabled and disabled. Signed-off-by:

pci_enable_msi calls can fail for normal operational reasons. Driver should not print an error message in that case. Fix a leak that leaves msi enabled if pci_request_irq fails. We can remove CONFIG_PCI_MSI ifdefs alltogether Signed-off-by:

The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer, it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final state. Thus, I/O barriers are added where required. Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb. Hardware reordering was also theoretically possible. Signed-off-by:

Original patch is from Jeff Haran <jharan@brocade.com> with my minor style fixes. His comments follow: The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4), followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843) the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set (bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear before doing the modify/write. The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write. Signed-off-by:

Align the PHY setup of the sky2 driver with the vendor sk98lin (10.0.4.3) driver. The PHY register settings are mostly black magic, even with access to the documentation it isn't clear what the right values are.

The function ipxrtr_route_packet() takes a 'len' argument of type size_t. However, its prototype in af_ipx.c incorrectly suggests that the corresponding argument is of type 'int' instead. Discovered by building with --combine and letting the compiler see it all at once. Signed-off-by:

After a suspend/resume cycle, the UART may have been reset into low-speed mode -- either because it's actually been reset, or because the firmware pokes at the old-style divisor registers. If we detected it as a NS16550A SuperIO chip in the first place and set baud_base to 921600, then we should do so again in the resume path. This patch adds that code to serial8250_resume_port(), and also makes serial8250_resume() actually call serial8250_resume_port() for each port instead of just calling uart_resume_port() directly. And thus fixes serial port operation after suspend/resume. It also fixes a bogus comment where we write the EXCR2 register with a comment saying /* EXCR1 */ Signed-off-by:

grow_dev_page() simply passes GFP_NOFS to find_or_create_page. This means the allocation of radix tree nodes is done with GFP_NOFS and the allocation of a new page is done using GFP_NOFS. The mapping has a flags field that contains the necessary allocation flags for the page cache allocation. These need to be consulted in order to get DMA and HIGHMEM allocations etc right. And yes a blockdev could be allowing Highmem allocations if its a ramdisk. Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by:

i_mutex on quota files is special. Unlike i_mutexes for other inodes it is acquired under dqonoff_mutex. Tell lockdep about this lock ranking. Also comment and code in quota_sync_sb() seem to be bogus (as i_mutex for quota file can be acquired under dqonoff_mutex). Move truncate_inode_pages() call under dqonoff_mutex and save some problems with races... Signed-off-by:

No other architecture calls check_pgt_cache() from within flush_tlb_mm(), and i386 is already calling check_pgt_cache() from the usual places, tlb_finish_mmu() and cpu_idle() (the latter being odd, but not unusual). flush_tlb_mm() has no business to be freeing pages: remove that line, which sneaked in with slub's i386 support.

Loosen gpio_{request,free}() and gpio_direction_{in,out}put() call context restrictions slightly, so a common idiom is no longer an error: board init code setting up spinlock-safe GPIOs before tasking is enabled. The issue was caught by some paranoid code with might_sleep() checks. The legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this change reflects current implementations and won't break anything. Signed-off-by: -
