I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to this commit: commit 6fe6900e Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700 mm: make read_cache_page synchronous Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page without any callers. Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction well enough to say. [It's fine. dwmw2.] Signed-off-by: Jason Lunz <lunz@falooley.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

I think that I've found and fixed the problem. There is a copy/paste bug in vt6421_set_dma_mode() function which causes wrong values to be written to PATA_UDMA_TIMING register. This patch fixes a copy/paste bug that breaks DMA modes on VT6421 PATA port.

This patch cleans up the `enable early console for SKI' patch (471e7a44), and 1. potentially allows the gensparse_defconfig to work again. (there are other problems running a generic kernel on Ski) 2. fixes the `console registered twice' problem. 3. Cleans up the code by moving the `extern hpsim_cons' declaration to a new asm/hpsim.h file. Thanks to Jes for comments.

This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters). The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if that search fails. Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use. On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs. Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but that is not the case right now.

A network interface can get ARP packets even when the interface has NOARP specified. In a HiperSockets environment this disturbs receiving systems when packets are sent on the multicast queue. (E.g. TCP/IP on z/VM issues messages reporting invalid data on the HiperSockets interface.) Qeth will no longer send ARP packets on HiperSockets interface when interface has the NOARP attribute.

Online setting of a qeth device may fail for instance because of: - out-of-memory condition when allocating qdio queues - IDX ACTIVATE problem - ... Such a device is still returned in a driver_for_each_device loop processed in qeth_reboot_event(), which calls qeth_clear_qdio_buffers(). Make sure qeth_clear_output_buffer() is called only, if the qdio queues have been successfully allocated during initialization of a qeth device.

Problem: A recovery thread must not be active when device is removed. In qeth_remove_device() an interruptible wait operation is used to wait until a qeth recovery thread is finished. If a user really interrupts the ungroup operation of a qeth device while a recovery is running, cio and qeth are out of sync (device already removed from cio, but kept in qeth). A following module unload of qeth results in a kernel OOPS here. Solution: Do not allow interruption of ungroup operation to guarantee finishing of a potentially running qeth recovery thread.

The IOC3 driver's UART detection bits used to rely on the the firmware setting the UART pre-divider in a way that's apropriate for the 8250 driver which doesn't currently program this register. This happens to work for the console but not rarely for additional ports. While at it, also program the UART to RS-232 PIO mode; it the UART might have been in mac-serial and/or DMA mode though that hasn't actually been observed in practice.
