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 8b9365d7 ("[PATCH] Uninline jiffies.h functions") uninlined them, and thus modules now need them explicitly exported to use them.

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.

This adds some NCQ blacklist entries taken from the Silicon Image 3124/3132 Windows driver .inf files. There are some confirming reports of problems with these drives under Linux (for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/4/178) so let's disable NCQ on these drives.

The git commit c2fda5fe which added the page_test_and_clear_dirty call to page_mkclean and the git commit 7658cc28 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>

Mark Lord authored
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().

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.

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: 2dc611de 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.

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.
