check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the partition checkers. This would prevent the actual partition checker getting a chance to verify the partition. So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the checking routines. Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error. Signed-off-by:

The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from the lower layer. It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O error cases while reading the partition information. The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ). Changing this behaviour would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not recommended. Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be reported as "SUCCESS". The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to worry about. i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the partition information. Signed-off-by:

Remove #define NR_CMDS and replace it w/hba[i]->nr_cmds. Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands but the E200 family can only support 128. To prevent annoying "fifo full" messages we define nr_cmds on a per controller basis by adding it the product table. Signed-off-by:

When the UML network driver generates random MACs for its devices, it was possible for a number of UMLs to get the same MACs because the ethernet initialization was done before the random pool was properly seeded. This patch moves the initialization later so that it gets better randomness. Signed-off-by:

Minor whitespace and formatting modifications for the freezer. Signed-off-by:

Nigel Cunningham authored
The freezer currently prints an '=' for every process that is frozen. This is pretty pointless, as the equals sign says nothing about which process is frozen, and makes logs look messier (especially if there were a large number of processes running). All we really need to know is that we started trying to freeze processes and what processes (if any) failed to freeze, or that we succeeded. Signed-off-by:

At some point after 2.6.13, in-kernel software suspend got "incomplete" for the so-called "platform" mode. pm_ops->prepare() is never called. A visible sign of this is the "moon" light on thinkpads not flashing during suspend. Fix by readding the pm_ops->prepare call during suspend. Signed-off-by:

Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg. it requires two normal pages to be used for saving one highmem page). This may be improved by using highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages. Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages. If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal" memory. Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store the (remaining) image data. We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated free pages (ie. highmem as well as "normal" image pages). Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages (highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are copied into the image pages. Then, the second bitmap is used to save the pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save their data. During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page frames. Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the image. While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed later. Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page frames. The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs. One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie. "normal" pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way as previously (ie. by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). The other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages. The pages in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the arch-dependent code is called. Signed-off-by:
