When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0.  And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content.  So here is a (tested)
patch:

Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC
text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

I wish I was happier about this patch.  It'll serve as a placeholder for
the moment.  I'm still trying to get a G550 working in order to even
reproduce the problem this patch introduces.  I find that the G450 has
jitter even without this patch, so it won't show me what the patch changed.
 At this point, I'll continue trying to get the G550 to work, and in
parallel work with the G450 to work out the kinks.

The patch is below.

Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on
the G550, at least on x86 architectures.

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.

After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops.  I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there.  Applying this
lock fixed the problem.

Alan sayeth:

  Checksum changes are clearly correct.  Other changes is an improvement but
  not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks.  That said such an
  attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
  neatness.

OK, I'm having a look here; its all new to me so bear with me.

blkdev_open() calls
  do_open(bdev, ...,BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) and takes
    mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL)

then something fails, and we're thrown to:

out_first: where
    if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
      blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains) which is
        __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) which does
          mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) <--- lockdep trigger

When going to out_first, dbev->bd_contains is either bdev or whole, and
since we take the branch it must be whole. So it seems to me the
following patch would be the right one:

On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load.  'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord.  The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'.  We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels.  http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.

So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool.  If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool.  Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.

I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue.  This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running.  And
it could be done with a two-line change.  Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case.  Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well.  I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342.

CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss.

The performance was verified against:
http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php

For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters:
Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%.

This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three
runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the
average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research
properly.

I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2
msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch
at around 30 Mbit/s.

there was a change in 2.6.17 which affected the order in which the PCI

The patch changes the PCI init code to have PCBIOS as last fallback, yet
the PCBIOS code still has to run first to set pcibios_last_bus to the value
reported by the BIOS.  this is needed in case legacy PCI probing
(arch/i386/pci/legacy.c) is used to detect peer busses.  using direct

This patch contains 2 sets of fixes for the abituguru:
 1) Much improved timeout handling, drasticly reducing the amount of
    timeout errors on some motherboards
 2) Fix the exit paths in the bank1 sensor type detect code to always
    restore the original settings even on an error. Without this our
    special test settings could remain seriously confusing the system
    BIOS's setup menu.

Both are very much related and are must haves, to avoid messing up the
uguru CMOS settings.

Detailed changes:
- Much improved timeout / wait for status handling. Many thanks to Sunil
  Kumar, for all his testing, ideas and patches! The code now first busy
  waits, polling the uguru for the expected status as this usually
  succeeds pretty quickly (within 90 reads). To avoid unnecessary CPU burn
  in timeout conditions, the amount of busy waiting has been halved from
  previous versions (120 tries instead of 250). This is not a problem,
  because this version goes to sleep after 120 attemps for 1 jiffy and
  then tries again, it does this sleep and try again 5 times before
  finally giving up. This (almost?) completly removes the timeout errors
  some people have seen regulary. Apparently some older uguru versions
  sometimes are distracted for a (relatively) long time. This solves this.
- These timeout errors not only occur in the sending address part of
  reading the uguru but also in the wait for read state, so errors in
  this state are now handled as retryable just like send address state
  errors and are only logged and reported to userspace if 3 executive
  tries fail.
- Fix a very nasty bug in the bank1 sensor type detection code, where it
  would not restore the original settings in any of the error paths!
- Since not successfully restoring the original settings can seriously
  confuse the system BIOS (hang when entering the relevant setup menu),
  we now try restoring them 3 times before giving up.

The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer,
and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to
the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up
copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi
command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun
things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with
data and scatterlists.

This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of
scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd
can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this
fixes a regression added when we removed some of the scsi_cmnd
fields and replaced them with local variables.
