On return from syscall or interrupt, we have to check if we return to userspace (likely) and if there is work todo (less likely) to decide if we handle the work. We can optimize this check: we first check for the less likely work case and then check for userspace. This patch is also a preparation for an additional patch, that fixes a bug in KVM dealing with cpu bound guests. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32. That came from 9fc34113 x86: debug pmd_bad(); but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous version: pagetable pages above 4GB looked bad and stopped Arjan from booting. And revert that cded932b x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages. It was the wrong way round: we shouldn't weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected. Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that should be a later patch. Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge() because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests. Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check? No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits. However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get called on a huge page? get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: [PATCH] fix SMP ordering hole in fcntl_setlk() [PATCH] kill ->put_inode [PATCH] fix reservation discarding in affs
-
Al Viro authored
fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered. As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs. STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE, but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2). Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix() on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access, we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to order the things. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

A couple of distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu) were having weird problems with the ATI IXP series PATA controllers being reported as simplex. At the heart of the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers. The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it. Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver. I'm indebted to David Gero for this. His bug report not only reported the problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values to prove what was going on [If you backport this for 2.6.24 you will need to pull in the 2.6.25 removal of the bogus WARN_ON() in pcim_enagle] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Tested-by: David Gero <davidg@havidave.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Use IDMA for ATAPI commands. Write and some misc commands time out when executed using ATAPI_PROT_DMA but ATAPI_PROT_PIO works fine. As PIO is driven by DMA too, it doesn't make any noticeable difference for native SATA devices. inic_check_atapi_dma() is implemented to force PIO for those ATAPI commands. After this change, sata_inic162x issues all commands using IDMA. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

The modified driver on initio site has enough clue on how to use IDMA. Use IDMA for ATA_PROT_DMA. * LBA48 now works as long as it uses DMA (LBA48 devices still aren't allowed as it can destroy data if PIO is used for any reason). * No need to mask IRQs for read DMAs as IDMA_DONE is properly raised after transfer to memory is actually completed. There will be some spurious interrupts but host_intr will handle it correctly and manipulating port IRQ mask interacts badly with the other port for some reason, so command type dependent port IRQ masking is not used anymore.

inic162x can't reliably read back TF or at least we don't know how to do it yet. The only values which seem reliable are status and error. This patch updates access to TF. * implement inic_tf_read() which reads the TF area in mmio area * implement custom inic_qc_fill_rtf() which only returns true if status indicates device error. it'll be returning bogus addresses for device errors but it'll be able to report why it failed at least. * implement custom inic_check_ready() and use ata_wait_after_reset() instead of the SFF version. * use inic_tf_read() for classification. This is not perfect but it fixes hotplug detection failure and at least makes the driver report 0's instead of random garbages while reporting valid status and error for device errors.

Convert sata_mv's EH for FIS-based switching (FBS) over to the sequence recommended by Marvell. This enables us to catch/analyze multiple failed links on a port-multiplier when using NCQ. To do this, we clear the ERR_DEV bit in the EDMA Halt-Conditions register, so that the EDMA engine doesn't self-disable on the first NCQ error. Our EH code sets the MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH flag to prevent new commands being queued while we await completion of all outstanding NCQ commands on all links of the failed PM. The SATA Test Control register tells us which links have failed, so we must only wait for any other active links to finish up before we stop the EDMA and run the .error_handler afterward. The patch also includes skeleton code for handling of non-NCQ FBS operation. This is more for documentation purposes right now, as that mode is not yet enabled in sata_mv.

Mark Lord authored
Introduce a new "delayed error handling" mechanism in sata_mv, to enable us to eventually deal with multiple simultaneous NCQ failures on a single host link when a PM is present. This involves a port flag (MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH) to prevent new commands being queued, and a pmp bitmap to indicate which pmp links had NCQ errors. The new mv_pmp_error_handler() uses those values to invoke ata_eh_analyze_ncq_error() on each failed link, prior to freezing the port and passing control to sata_pmp_error_handler(). This is based upon a strategy suggested by Tejun. For now, we just implement the delayed mechanism. The next patch in this series will add the multiple-NCQ EH code to take advantage of it.

Sigh. Undo some earlier changes to mv_port_intr(), so that we now read/clear SError again in all cases. Arrange the top of the function to be as close as possible to what we need for a later update (in this series) for ERR_DEV handling. Fix things so that libata-eh can attempt a READ_LOG_EXT_10H in response to a failed NCQ command, by just doing a local mv_eh_freeze() rather than ata_port_freeze(). This will now fully handle NCQ errors much of the time, but more fixes are needed for FBS/PMP, and for certain chip errata.

When performing EH, it is recommended to wait for the EDMA engine to empty out requests-in-progress before disabling EDMA. Introduce code to poll the EDMA_STATUS register for idle/empty bits before disabling EDMA. For non-EH operation, this will normally exit without delay, other than the register read. A later series of patches may focus on eliminating this and various other register reads (when possible) throughout the driver, but for now we're focussing on solid reliablity.

Some controllers (jmb and inic162x) use 0x77 and 0x7f to indicate that the device isn't ready yet. It looks like they use 0xff if device presence is detected but connection isn't established. 0x77 or 0x7f after connection is established and use the value from signature FIS after receiving it. This patch implements ata_check_ready(), which takes TF status value and determines whether the port is ready or not considering the above and other conditions, and use it in @check_ready() functions. This is safe as both 0x77 and 0x7f aren't valid ready status value even though they have BSY bit cleared. This fixes hot plug detection failures which can be triggered with certain drives if they aren't already spun up when the data connector is hot plugged. Tested on sil, sil24, ahci (jmb/ich), piix and inic162x combined with eight drives from all major vendors. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
