Dirty page accounting accurately measures the amound of dirty pages in writable shared mappings by mapping the pages RO (as indicated by vma_wants_writenotify). We then trap on first write and call set_page_dirty() on the page, after which we map the page RW and continue execution. When we launder dirty pages, we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() which clears both the dirty flag, and maps the page RO again before we start writeout so that the story can repeat itself. vma_wants_writenotify() excludes VM_PFNMAP on the basis that we cannot do the regular dirty page stuff on raw PFNs and the memory isn't going anywhere anyway. The recently introduced VM_MIXEDMAP mixes both !pfn_valid() and pfn_valid() pages in a single mapping. We can't do dirty page accounting on !pfn_valid() pages as stated above, and mapping them RO causes them to be COW'ed on write, which breaks VM_SHARED semantics. Excluding VM_MIXEDMAP in vma_wants_writenotify() would mean we don't do the regular dirty page accounting for the pfn_valid() pages, which would bring back all the head-aches from inaccurate dirty page accounting. So instead, we let the !pfn_valid() pages get mapped RO, but fix them up unconditionally in the fault path.

This updates the MAINTAINERS entries for powerpc. It adds Ben H to the overall Linux for PowerPC entry and makes it clear this covers both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It removes the separate entry we had for Linux on 64-bit PowerPC where Anton and I were listed as maintainers - Anton hasn't been involved in the day-to-day maintenance of the code for several years. Finally, it removes the entry for the Linux for PowerPC boot code where Tom Rini was listed as the maintainer. That code got completely rewritten when we merged 32-bit and 64-bit, and I and the various platform maintainers have been maintaining that code since.

Some AHCI controllers (ICH7 was reported) set pending bit in HOST_IRQ_STAT for non-existent ports and when it's not cleared falls into IRQ storm. Always clear full irq_stat instead of only the bits that are handled. As nothing changes for recognized ports, the risk of breaking things is pretty low.

The branch optimization fixes in 2.6.21 introduced a bug in atomic_sub_if_positive that causes it to return even when the sc instruction fails.

This patch (as1111) fixes a bug in the hub driver. When a hub resumes, disconnections that occurred while the hub was suspended are lost.

USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers As has been discussed several times on LKML, IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED doesn't work reliably, i.e. a shared interrupt handler CAN'T be certain to be called with interrupts disabled. Most USB HCD handlers use IRQF_DISABLED and therefore havoc can break out if they share their interrupt with a handler that doesn't use it. On my test machine the yenta_socket interrupt handler (no IRQF_DISABLED) was registered before ehci_hcd and one uhci_hcd instance. Therefore all usb_hcd_irq() invocations for ehci_hcd and for one uhci_hcd instance happened with interrupts enabled. That led to random lockups as USB core HCD functions that acquire the same spinlock could be called twice from interrupt handlers. This patch updates usb_hcd_irq() to always disable/restore interrupts. usb_add_hcd() will silently remove any IRQF_DISABLED requested from HCD code.

Here's a new device ID for the ftdio_sio driver. The diff is with linus's tree as of this morning. The device is the RigExpert Tiny USB Soundcard Transceiver Interface for ham radio. (I didn't actually test this. A fellow ham couldn't get the device to work, and I suggested binding the device ID using sysfs - see "http://jk.ufisa.uninett.no/usb/". However, he had had moved on to other things by then. I guess adding the device ID to the kernel "on spec" won't hurt.

This patch fixes a problem with OHCI where canceling bulk or interrupt URBs may lose track of the right data toggle. This seems to be a longstanding bug, possibly dating back to the Linux 2.4 kernel, which stayed hidden because (a) about half the time the data toggle bit was correct; (b) canceling such URBs is unusual; and (c) the few drivers which cancel these URBs either [1] do it only as part of shutting down, or [2] have fault recovery logic, which recovers. For those transfer types, the toggle is normally written back into the ED when each TD is retired. But canceling bypasses the mechanism used to retire TDs ... so on average, half the time the toggle bit will be invalid after cancelation. The fix is simple: the toggle state of any canceled TDs are propagated back to the ED in the finish_unlinks function. (Issue found by leonidv11@gmail.com ...)

This patch fixes a regression in the EHCI driver's TIMER_IO_WATCHDOG behavior. The patch "USB: EHCI: add separate IAA watchdog timer" changed how that timer is handled, so that short timeouts on the remaining timer (unfortunately, overloaded) would never be used. This takes a more direct approach, reorganizing the code slightly to be explicit about only the I/O watchdog role now being overridable. It also replaces a now-obsolete comment describing older timer behavior.

To return garbage_args, the accept_stat must be 0, and we must have a verifier. So we shouldn't be resetting the write pointer as we reject the call. Also, we must add the two placeholder words here regardless of success of the unwrap, to ensure the output buffer is left in a consistent state for svcauth_gss_release().

Due to a possible deadlock, the waking of the softirq was pushed outside of the hrtimer base locks. See commit 0c96c597 Unfortunately this allows the task to migrate after setting up the softirq and raising it. Since softirqs run a queue that is per-cpu we may raise the softirq on the wrong CPU and this will keep the queued softirq task from running. To solve this issue, this patch disables preemption around the releasing of the hrtimer lock and raising of the softirq.

The introduction of a real dma cache invalidate makes it important to have a correct cache line size, otherwise the kernel will gives out two memory segment, which might share one cache line. The R4400 Indy/Indigo2 CPU modules are using a second level cache line size of 128 bytes, so MIPS_L1_CACHE_SHIFT needs to be bumped up to 7 for IP22.

Mel Gorman authored
The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL. Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[] entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the nr_zones field instead. As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary, the result is that kswapd never reclaims. This causes processes to stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim. This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.

The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128 byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry. MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without this patch.

The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation (it is expected that the client take care of it). We were incorrectly passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode. This was reported in bugzilla report #10689. This patch fixes the problem by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding a seek after the open.
