While working with the latest bonding code I noticed a nasty problem that
will prevent arp monitoring from always functioning correctly on x86_64
systems. Comparing ints to longs and expecting reliable results on x86_64
is a bad idea. With this patch, arp monitoring works correctly again.

If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is
held, it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate.
This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers
a write-out to the md device.
For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that
requires getting the mddev_lock.
So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL alloction while holding the lock,
make sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md...
- When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to
the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not
update the superblock information - as we may not have
read and processed it all properly yet.
- initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file
will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is
started.
- all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to
sysfs files
- when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version,
set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata.
- allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't
been started yet.

Fix few bugs that meant that:
- superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this
could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array
causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors).
- restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata
only) didn't work as intended (or at all).
1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added.
2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync.
The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether
MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if
is wrong.
3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes.
4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1
metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by
bitmaps) does get done.

This reverts commit 99a10a60ba9bedcf5d70ef81414d3e03816afa3f.
As per Hugh Dickins:
"Nadia Derbey has reported that mmap of /dev/kmem no longer works with
the kernel virtual address as offset, and Franck has confirmed that
his patch came from a misunderstanding of what an offset means to
/dev/kmem - whereas his patch description seems to say that he was
correcting the offset on a few plaforms, there was no such problem to
correct, and his patch was in fact changing its API on all platforms."

recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely:
when it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither
1.3 GHz nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace,
speed or ondemand) is used.
after some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the
following (totally correct) bug-fix commit:
commit 0916bd3ebb7cefdd0f432e8491abe24f4b5a101e
Author: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Nov 22 20:42:01 2006 -0500
[PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.
this bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden
(BIOS) bug visible on my laptop.
The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities)
optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an
incorrect value of '2'.
My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported:
0: 1833000
1: 1333000
2: 1000000
Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance
states are usable. A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 .. 2 are usable, a
value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable.
now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification.
Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is
initialized as well. So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is
superfluous:
[<c028ba5f>] acpi_processor_get_platform_limit+0xa1/0xaf
[<c028c040>] acpi_processor_register_performance+0x3b9/0x3ef
[<c0111a85>] acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init+0xb7/0x596
[<c03dab74>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x160/0x4a8
[<c02bed90>] sysdev_driver_register+0x5a/0xa0
[<c03d9c4c>] cpufreq_register_driver+0xb4/0x176
[<c068ac08>] acpi_cpufreq_init+0xe5/0xeb
[<c010056e>] init+0x14f/0x3dd
and this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value
of '2'. Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value
is probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows
likely doesnt query it after bootup either. Maybe the value is kept at
'2' normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous
event (such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs.
So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the
spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to
query it after the system has booted up. So in my opinion the best (and
most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not
evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info()
call, but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or
if it's notified during an asynchronous event. This change is more
permissive than the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any
existing system.
This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at
1.83 GHz now. Yay!

The pci_find_subsys gets called very early by obsolete ide setup parameters.
This is a bogus call since pci is not initialized yet, so the list is empty.
But in the mean time, interrupts get enabled by down_read. This can result in
a kernel panic when the irq controller gets initialized.
This patch checks if the device list is empty before taking the semaphore, and
hence will not enable irq's. Furthermore it will inform that it is called
while pci_devices is empty as a reminder that the ide code needs to be fixed.
The pci_get_subsys can get called in the same manner, and as such is patched
in the same manner.

Since commit 98e238cd42be6c0852da519303cf0182690f8d9f in Linux 2.6.19,
"ieee1394: sbp2: don't prefer MODE SENSE 10", some FireWire DVD-ROMs and
DVD-RWs were mistaken as CD-ROM because sr_mod now sent MODE SENSE 6.
The MMC command set includes only MODE SENSE 10.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7800
This fix lets sbp2 switch scsi_device.use_10_for_rw on for MMC LUs.
This should rather be done in the command set driver sr_mod, not in the
sbp2 transport driver, and an according patch will follow for a next
Linux release.

mthca_table_find() will return the wrong address when the table entry
being searched for is exactly at the beginning of a sglist entry
(other than the first), because it uses >= when it should use >.
Example: assume we have 2 entries in scatterlist, 4K each, offset is
4K. The current code will return first entry + 4K when we really want
the second entry.
In particular this means mapping an FMR on a memfree HCA may end up
writing the page table into the wrong place, leading to memory
corruption and also causing the HCA to use an incorrect address
translation table.

md raidX make_request functions strip off the BIO_RW_SYNC flag, thus

Fixing this in raid1 and raid10 seems to be straightforward enough.

I have a Marvell board which has the same i2c hw block than mv64xxx, so
I'm trying to use i2c-mv64xxx driver.
But I get the following random oops at boot:

The oops is caused by a spurious interrupt that occurs when request_irq
is called. mv64xxx_i2c_fsm() tries to read drv_data->msg, which is NULL.
I noticed that hardware init is done after requesting irq. Thus any
pending irq from previous hardware usage may cause this.

Fix a bug that only appears when AoE goes over a network card that does not
support scatter-gather. The headers in the linear part of the skb appeared
to be larger than they really were, resulting in data that was offset by 24

This patch eliminates the offset data on cards that don't support
scatter-gather or have had scatter-gather turned off. There remains an
unrelated issue that I'll address in a separate email.

APM idle code
Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
system load, often in the milliseconds range.
After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:
_------=> CPU#

<...>-5856 0D..1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0)
what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for
PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task()
for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!
the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:
commit 495ab9c045e1b0e5c82951b762257fe1c9d81564

[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
the problem is this type of change:
if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
- clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
while (!need_resched()) {
local_irq_disable();
this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:
clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);
and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:
static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
"btrl %1,%0"
hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:
#define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier()
but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.
CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]
Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.
( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )
The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

On a custom board with ds1337 RTC I found that upgrade from 2.6.15 to
2.6.18 broke RTC support.
The main problem are changes to ds1337_init_client().
When a ds1337 recognizes a problem (e.g. power or clock failure) bit 7
in status register is set. This has to be reset by writing 0 to status
register. But since there are only 16 byte written to the chip and the
first byte is interpreted as an address, the status register (which is
the 16th) is never written.
The other problem is, that initializing all registers to zero is not
valid for day, date and month register. Funny enough this is checked by
ds1337_detect(), which depends on this values not being zero. So then
treated by ds1337_init_client() the ds1337 is not detected anymore,
whereas the failure bit in the status register is still set.
Broken by commit f9e8957937ebf60d22732a5ca9130f48a7603f60 (2.6.16-rc1,
2006-01-06). This fix is in Linus' tree since 2.6.20-rc1 (commit

struct srp_device.fmr_page_mask was unsigned long, which means that
the top part of addresses above 4G was being chopped off on 32-bit
architectures. Of course nothing good happens when data from SRP
targets is DMAed to the wrong place.
Fix this by changing fmr_page_mask to u64, to match the addresses
actually used by IB devices.

libata waits for !BSY even when the status register reports 0xff.
This causes long boot delays when D8 isn't pulled down properly. This
patch does the followings.
* don't wait if status register is 0xff in all wait functions
* make ata_busy_sleep() return 0 on success and -errno on failure.
-ENODEV is returned on 0xff status and -EBUSY on other failures.
* make ata_bus_softreset() succeed on 0xff status. 0xff status is not
reset failure. It indicates no device. This removes unnecessary
retries on such ports. Note that the code change assumes unoccupied
port reporting 0xff status does not produce valid device signature.

The TUNER_LG_NTSC_TAPE is identical in all respects to the
TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3. So use the params struct for the Philips tuner.
Also add this LG_NTSC_TAPE tuner to the switches where radio specific
parameters are set so it behaves like a TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3. This
change fixes the radio support for this tuner (the wrong bandswitch byte
was used).

In some cases when using VSB, the AGC status register has been known to
falsely report "no signal" when in fact there is a carrier lock. The
datasheet labels these status flags as QAM only, yet the lgdt330x
module is using these flags for both QAM and VSB.
This patch allows for the carrier recovery lock status register to be
tested, even if the agc signal status register falsely reports no signal.

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.
The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.
Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
than -ENOMEM.

At least some nforce cards continue to send legacy interrupts when MSI
is enabled, and these interrupts are treated as unhandled by the
kernel. This patch disables legacy interrupts explicitly when enabling
MSI mode.
The correct fix is to change the MSI infrastructure to disable legacy
interrupts when enabling MSI, but this is potentially risky if the
device isn't PCI-2.3 or is quirky, so the correct fix is going into
mainline, while patches like this one go into -stable.
Legend has it that it is most correct to disable legacy interrupts
before enabling MSI, but the mainline patch does it in the other
order, and this patch is "obviously" the same as mainline.
