Update atapi_eh_request_sense() to take @dev, @sense_buf and @dfl_sense_key instead of taking @qc and extracting information from it. This change is to make the function more generic and allow it to be called from other places. While at it, make cdb initialization use initializer.

ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal commands which is way too long when something goes wrong. This patch implements command type based stepped timeouts. Different command types can use different timeouts and each command type can use different timeout values after timeouts. ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things too much. After the first try times out, the second try can use longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec timeout. IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s - 10s timeouts. This patch significantly cuts down the needed time to handle failure cases while still allowing libata to work with nut job devices through retries.

EH retries were delayed by 5 seconds to ensure that resets don't occur back-to-back. However, this 5 second delay is superflous or excessive in many cases. For example, after IDENTIFY times out, there's no reason to wait five more seconds before retrying. This patch adds ehc->last_reset timestamp and record the timestamp for the last reset trial or success and uses it to space resets by ATA_EH_RESET_COOL_DOWN which is 5 secs and removes unconditional 5 sec sleeps. As this change makes inter-try waits often shorter and they're redundant in nature, this patch also removes the "retrying..." messages. While at it, convert explicit rounding up division to DIV_ROUND_UP(). This change speeds up EH in many cases w/o sacrificing robustness.

libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations. This is getting confusing. As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit for all time durations to msecs. So, durations are in msecs and deadlines are in jiffies. ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline from a start time and duration in msecs. While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time rather than duration.

Dmitry Adamushko authored
Commit f18f982a ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as described below: Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map) does the following: /* * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated. */ The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only for !CPUSETS case. With f18f982a, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to CPUSETS code: cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() -> rebuild_sched_domains() Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress. __migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already "offline" when this function is called). try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU -> the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later -> oops.

The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches (since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails to compile with this error: error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded within it, and that expands into a function macro. We need to use __constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

Try this: mount a share with unix extensions create a file on it umount the share You'll get the following message in the ring buffer: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... ...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression caused by commit 0e4bbde9. The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor formatting nit as well.

Cortland Setlow pointed out a bug in ov7670.c where the result from ov7670_read() was just being checked for !0, rather than <0. This made me realize that ov7670_read's semantics were rather confusing; it both fills in 'value' with the result, and returns it. This is goes against general kernel convention; so rather than fixing callers, let's fix the function. This makes ov7670_read return <0 in the case of an error, and 0 upon success. Thus, code like: res = ov7670_read(...); if (!res) goto error; ..will work properly.

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating the same framebuffer. Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug. It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist, I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device). The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory. Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing bsg.

There's a fault on the FC controllers that makes them not respond correctly to MSI. The SPI controllers are fine, but are likely to be onboard on older motherboards which don't handle MSI correctly, so default both these cases to disabled. Enable by setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=1. For the SAS case, enable MSI by default, but it can be disabled by setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=0.

Currently, ipr does not support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY to SATA devices. An oops occurs if userspace attempts to send the command. Since hald issues the command, ensure we fail the ioctl in ipr. This is a temporary solution to the oops. Once the ipr libata EH conversion is upstream, ipr will fully support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY.

Dave Chinner authored
When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count. But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang. Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

Some BIOSen enable DIPM via _GTF which causes command timeouts under certain configuration. This didn't occur on 2.6.25 because 2.6.25 defaulted to SRST, so _GTF wasn't executed during boot probe, so ahci host reset disabled DIPM and as _GTF wasn't executed after SRST, DIPM wasn't enabled. On 2.6.26, hardreset is used during probe and after probe _GTF is executed enabling DIPM and thus the failures. This patch could theoretically disable DIPM on machines which used to have it enabled on 2.6.25 but AFAIK ahci is currently the only driver which uses SATA ACPI hierarchy (_SDD) and as the host reset would have always disabled DIPM, this shouldn't happen.

The IRQ rate reported back by the RTC is incorrect when HPET is enabled.
