The VM layer (on the face of it, fairly reasonably) expected that when it does a ->writepage() call to the filesystem, it would write out the full page at that point in time. Especially since it had earlier marked the whole page dirty with "set_page_dirty()". But that isn't actually the case: ->writepage() does not actually write a page, it writes the parts of the page that have been explicitly marked dirty before, *and* that had not got written out for other reasons since the last time we told it they were dirty. That last caveat is the important one. Which _most_ of the time ends up being the whole page (since we had called "set_page_dirty()" on the page earlier), but if the filesystem had done any dirty flushing of its own (for example, to honor some internal write ordering guarantees), it might end up doing only a partial page IO (or none at all) when ->writepage() is actually called. That is the correct thing in general (since we actually often _want_ only the known-dirty parts of the page to be written out), but the shared dirty page handling had implicitly forgotten about these details, and had a number of cases where it was doing just the "->writepage()" part, without telling the low-level filesystem that the whole page might have been re-dirtied as part of being mapped writably into user space. Since most of the time the FS did actually write out the full page, we didn't notice this for a loong time, and this needed some really odd patterns to trigger. But it caused occasional corruption with rtorrent and with the Debian "apt" database, because both use shared mmaps to update the end result. This fixes it. Finally. After way too much hair-pulling.

I have a system with AMCC PowerPC 405EP and PHY Intel LXT971A. Linux 2.6.18.3 is not able to detect the PHY ID correctly. The PHY ID detected is 0, but should be 0x1d. This is because phy_read() (__emac_mdio_read() resp.) from drivers/net/ibm_emac/ibm_emac_core.c might return -ETIMEDOUT or -EREMOTEIO on error. This is ignored inside the int mii_phy_probe(struct mii_phy *phy, int address) from drivers/net/ibm_emac/ibm_emac_phy.c as the return value is assigned to an u32 variable.

MSI doesn't work properly on resume on many platforms because the BIOS goes and changes it back to INTx mode after the sky2 driver has restored in resume. It is really a bug in the base power management resume code, and this workaround is temporary until the change to PM code works it's way through the release process. The PM fix is non-trivial since it needs to change when non-boot CPU's are enabled. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

The e1000 driver has a workaround for 82544 on PCI-X where if the terminating byte of a buffer is at addresses 0-3 mod 8, then 4 bytes are shaved off it and defered to a new segment. This is due to an erratum that could otherwise cause TX hangs. Unfortunately this breaks TSO because it may cause the TCP header to be split over two segments which itself causes TX hangs. The solution is to pull 4 bytes of data up from the next segment rather than pushing 4 bytes off. This ensures the TCP header remains in one piece and works around the PCI-X hang. This patch is based on one from Jesse Brandeburg. This bug has been trigered by both CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB as well as Xen. Note that the only reason we don't see this normally is because the TCP stack starts writing from the end, i.e., it writes the TCP header first then slaps on the IP header, etc. So the end of the TCP header (skb->tail - 1 here) is always aligned correctly. Had we made the start of the IP header (e.g., IPv6) 8-byte aligned instead, this would happen for normal TCP traffic as well.

Now that IRQ are requested is called on open() and freed on close(), we can safely switch from/to MSI without unloading the module. We are guaranteed to correctly free IRQ even if the sysfs file got written in the meantime since the MSI initialization is stored in mgp->msi_enabled.

Request IRQ in myri10ge_open() and free in close() instead of probe() and remove() to eliminate potential race between the watchdog and the interrupt handler.

Brice Goglin authored
Since pci_save_state() pushes MSI and PCIe states on a kind of stack, myri10ge saving the state in advance for parity recovery will push the state again on the stack on suspend. This leads to some memory leak. We add a couple additional calls to save_state and restore_state so that we don't leak anymore. For the future, we are thinking of a better way to recover from parity error without using pci_save_state(). Signed-off-by: Brice Goglin <brice@myri.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Currently after an interface up, the link state is detected 2 seconds later when the first watchdog timer runs. This patch changes that by triggering the hardware to generate a link-change interrupt from the up() function instead. This has the result that the link state gets detected immediately and without races. This has the potential to speed up booting since a normal distribution boot process waits for a link before DHCP is attempted.

Allow the user to vary the size that copybreak works. Currently cb is enabled for packets < 256 bytes, but various tests indicate that this should be configurable for specific use cases.
