This way they'll be properly initialized early enough for users that may touch them before the framebuffer has been registered. Drivers that allocate their fb_info structure some other way (like matrocfb's broken static allocation) need to be fixed up appropriately.

Correct the CLKVAL_F field value of VIDEO MAIN CONTROLLER 0 REGITSTER. Frame Rate is 1 / [ { (VSPW+1) + (VBPD+1) + (LIINEVAL + 1) + (VFPD+1) } x {(HSPW+1) + (HBPD +1) + (HFPD+1) + (HOZVAL + 1) } x { ( CLKVAL+1 ) / ( Frequency of Clock source ) } ] and VCLK = Video Clock Source / (CLKVAL +1). therefore CLKVAL_F should be "CLKVAL_F = Frequency of Clock source / pixel clock * refresh". for this, I added refresh value in platform data like below. static struct s3c_fb_pd_win xxx_fb_win0 = { /* this is to ensure we use win0 */ .win_mode = { .refresh = 60, .pixclock = (66+4+2+480)*(15+5+3+800), .left_margin = 66, .right_margin = 2, .upper_margin = 15, .lower_margin = 3, .hsync_len = 4, .vsync_len = 5, .xres = 480, .yres = 800, }, .max_bpp = 32, .default_bpp = 24, }; static struct s3c_fb_platdata xxx_lcd_pdata __initdata = { .win[0] = &xxx_fb_win0, .vidcon0 = VIDCON0_VIDOUT_RGB | VIDCON0_PNRMODE_RGB, .vidcon1 = VIDCON1_INV_HSYNC | VIDCON1_INV_VSYNC | VIDCON1_INV_VCLK | VIDCON1_INV_VDEN, .setup_gpio = s5pc1xx_fb_gpio_setup_24bpp, }; xxx_machine_init() { . . . s3c_fb_set_platdata(&xxx_lcd_pdata); } platform data defined in machine code should be setting using s3c_fb_set_platdata().

In testing a backport of the write_begin/write_end AOPs, a 10% re-read regression was noticed when running iozone. This regression was introduced because the old AOPs would always do a mark_page_accessed(page) after the commit_write, but when the new AOPs where introduced, the only place this was kept was in pagecache_write_end(). This patch does the same thing in the generic case as what is done in pagecache_write_end(), which is just to mark the page accessed before we do write_end().

Fix the multithread program core thread message error. This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them. The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status. The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function. If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing. Then the core file will not have the register message of thread. So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS doesn't define. The following is how to reproduce this issue: cat 1.c #include <stdio.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <assert.h> void td1(void * i) { while (1) { printf ("1\n"); sleep (1); } return; } void td2(void * i) { while (1) { printf ("2\n"); sleep (1); } return; } int main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[]) { pthread_t t1,t2; pthread_create(&t1, NULL, (void*)td1, NULL); pthread_create(&t2, NULL, (void*)td2, NULL); sleep (10); assert(0); return (0); } arm-xxx-gcc -g -lpthread 1.c -o 1 copy 1.c and 1 to a arm board. Goto this board. ulimit -c 1800000 ./1 # ./1 1 2 1 ... ... 1 1: 1.c:37: main: Assertion `0' failed. Aborted (core dumped) Then you can get a core file. gdb 1 core.xxx Without the patch: (gdb) info threads 3 process 909 0x00000000 in ?? () 2 process 908 0x00000000 in ??

I run many ffsb test cases on JBODs (typically 13/12 disks). Comparing with kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31-rc1 has about 16% regression with ffsb_create_4k. The sub test case creates files continuously for 10 minitues and every file is 1MB. Bisect located below patch. 5cee5815 is first bad commit commit 5cee5815 Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Date: Mon Apr 27 16:43:51 2009 +0200 vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4) It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. As a matter of fact, ffsb calls sys_sync in the end to make sure all data is flushed to disks and the flushing is counted into the result. vmstat shows ffsb is blocked when syncing for a long time. With 2.6.30, ffsb is blocked for a short time. I checked the patch and did experiments to recover the original methods. Eventually, the root cause is the patch deletes the calling to wakeup_pdflush when syncing, so only ffsb is blocked on disk I/O. wakeup_pdflush could ask pdflush to write back pages with ffsb at the same time.

Our current strategy for pass-through mode is to put all devices into the 1:1 domain at startup (which is before we know what their dma_mask will be), and only _later_ take them out of that domain, if it turns out that they really can't address all of memory. However, when there are a bunch of PCI devices behind a bridge, they all end up with the same source-id on their DMA transactions, and hence in the same IOMMU domain. This means that we _can't_ easily move them from the 1:1 domain into their own domain at runtime, because there might be DMA in-flight from their siblings. So we have to adjust our pass-through strategy: For PCI devices not on the root bus, and for the bridges which will take responsibility for their transactions, we have to start up _out_ of the 1:1 domain, just in case. This fixes the BUG() we see when we have 32-bit-capable devices behind a PCI-PCI bridge, and use the software identity mapping. It does mean that we might end up using 'normal' mapping mode for some devices which could actually live with the faster 1:1 mapping -- but this is only for PCI devices behind bridges, which presumably aren't the devices for which people are most concerned about performance.

Commit 537a1bf0 (fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking) introduces a ->mm_lock mutex for protecting smem assignments. Unfortunately in the case of sm501fb these happen quite early in the initialization code, well before the mutex_init() that takes place in register_framebuffer(), leading to: Badness at kernel/mutex.c:207 Pid : 1, Comm: swapper CPU : 0 Not tainted (2.6.31-rc1-00284-g529ba0d9-dirty #2273) PC is at __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x72/0x1bc PR is at __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x66/0x1bc ... matroxfb appears to have the same issue and has solved it with an early mutex_init(), so we do the same for sm501fb.

When we reattach a device to the si_domain (because it's been removed from a VM), we weren't calling domain_context_mapping() to actually tell the hardware about that. We should really put the call to domain_context_mapping() into domain_add_dev_info() -- we never call the latter without also doing the former, and we can keep the error paths simple that way.

Block layer used to merge requests and bios with different failfast settings. This caused regular IOs to fail prematurely when they were merged into failfast requests for readahead. Niel Lambrechts could trigger the problem semi-reliably on ext4 when resuming from STR. ext4 uses readahead when reading inodes and combined with the deterministic extra SATA PHY exception cycle during resume on the specific configuration, non-readahead inode read would fail causing ext4 errors. Please read the following thread for details. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/23/21 This patch makes block layer reject merging if the failfast settings don't match. This is correct but likely to lower IO performance by preventing regular IOs from mingling into surrounding readahead requests. Changes to allow such mixed merges and handle errors correctly will be added later.

When doing an unexpected shutdown like kexec the cciss firmware might still have some commands in flight, which it is trying to complete. The driver is doing it's best on resetting the HBA, but sadly there's a firmware issue causing the firmware _not_ to abort or drop old commands. So the firmware will send us commands which we haven't accounted for, causing the driver to panic. With this patch we're just ignoring these commands as there is nothing we could be doing with them anyway.
