scsi_eh_try_stu() was still using the timeout parameter in the device which is now not set (i.e. zero filled) meaning that it waited no time at all for the start unit command to complete (leading the routine to conclude failure every time). This lead to a 2.6.27 regression: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12120 Where firewire devices that were non spec compliant wouldn't spin up. Fix this by using the block queue timeout value instead. Reported-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

The zfcp_scsi_queuecommand was not acting according to the standard when the respective unit was not available. In this case an -EBUSY was returned, which is not valid in itself, and in addition scsi_done was called. This combination is not allowed and was leading to a double finish of the request and therefor double decrement of the host_busy counter.

Waiting for the ERP to be finished in a task running in the global kernel work-queue is a bad idea, especially if the ERP needs to run another job in this work-queue before it can finish. -> deadlock. This patch removes the necessity to wait for a finished ERP from the scan task and moves the job scheduling to the end of the ERP.

The check of having a valid pointer was performed before the processing was secured by the lock. Between those two steps the pointer can turn invalid. During further processing another value is used (referenced by the pointer described above) as a function pointer which is never verified to be valid either, resulting under some circumstances in an invalid function call. This patch is fixing both issues.

Aborting a SCSI cmnd might requrie to send a abort_fsf_cmnd. If the creation of this fsf_req fails an ERR_PTR is returned where a NULL value would be expected as an error indicator. This ERR_PTR is dereferenced as valid fsf_req in succeeding processing leading to an error.

Inotify watch removals suck violently. To kick the watch out we need (in this order) inode->inotify_mutex and ih->mutex. That's fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all other cases we need to make damn sure we don't race with umount. We can *NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will happily sail past it and we'll end with reference to inode potentially outliving its superblock. Ideally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we can; that will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until we are done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super(). However, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with umount() and active references to superblock can't be acquired anymore? We can bump ->s_count, grab ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait until the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining for fjords. That's fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the window between ->s_active getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e. the moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires ->s_umount. We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed ->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e. that ->s_root is non-NULL) we know that we won't race with inotify_umount_inodes(). So we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just with drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had to drop ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount. So the watch could've been gone already. That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find() and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once, the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(), but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created" is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone, whatever's more convenient. So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as "grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its superblock won't be going away. And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire concept of inotify to start with.

A common reason for device drivers to implement their own printk macros is the lack of a printk prefix with the standard pr_xyz macros. Introduce a pr_fmt() macro that is applied for every pr_xyz macro to the format string. The most common use of the pr_fmt macro would be to add the name of the device driver to all pr_xyz messages in a source file.

This reverts commit e51af663, which was wrongly hoovered up and submitted about a month after a better fix had already been merged. The better fix is commit cbda1ba8 ("PCI/iommu: blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets"), where we do this blacklisting based on the DMI identification for the offending motherboard, since sometimes this chipset (or at least a chipset with the same PCI ID) apparently _does_ actually have an IOMMU.

dpt_i2o.c::adpt_i2o_to_scsi() reads the value at (reply+5) which should contain the length in bytes of the transferred data. This would be correct if reply was a u32 *. However it is a void * here, so we need to read the value at (reply+20) instead. The value at (reply+5) is usually 0xff0000, which is apparently 'large enough' and didn't cause any trouble until 2.6.27 where commit 427e59f0 Author: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Date: Sat Mar 8 18:24:17 2008 -0600 [SCSI] make use of the residue value caused this to become visible through e.g. iostat -x .

Currently libata uses four methods to detect device presence. 1. PHY status if available. 2. TF register R/W test (only promotes presence, never demotes) 3. device signature after reset 4. IDENTIFY failure detection in SFF state machine Combination of the above works well in most cases but recently there have been a few reports where a phantom device causes unnecessary delay during probe. In both cases, PHY status wasn't available. In one case, it passed #2 and #3 and failed IDENTIFY with ATA_ERR which didn't qualify as #4. The other failed #2 but as it passed #3 and #4, it still caused failure. In both cases, phantom device reported diagnostic failure, so these cases can be safely worked around by considering any !ATA_DRQ IDENTIFY failure as NODEV_HINT if diagnostic failure is set.

With CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER the trace_hardirqs_off() function includes a call to __builtin_return_address(1). But we calltrace_hardirqs_off() from early entry code. There we have just a single stack frame. So this results in a kernel stack backchain walk that would walk beyond the kernel stack. Following the NULL terminated backchain this results in a lowcore read access. To fix this we simply call trace_hardirqs_off_caller() and pass the current instruction pointer.
