2010-12-23ring_buffer: Off-by-one and duplicate events in ring_buffer_read_pageDavid Sharp
Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of ring_buffer_read_page. The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one. "len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page. "size" is the size of the next event (or two events). If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event. size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time- extends are kept together with the event after it. However, rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop condition.

The IPS driver is designed to be able to run detached from i915 and just not enable GPU turbo in that case, in order to avoid module dependencies between the two drivers. This means that we don't know what the load order between the two is going to be, and we had previously only supported IPS after (optionally) i915, but not i915 after IPS.

2010-12-22[SCSI] fix medium error problems with some arrays which can cause data ↵James Bottomley
corruption Our current handling of medium error assumes that data is returned up to the bad sector. This assumption holds good for all disk devices, all DIF arrays and most ordinary arrays. However, an LSI array engine was recently discovered which reports a medium error without returning any data. This means that when we report good data up to the medium error, we've reported junk originally in the buffer as good. Worse, if the read consists of requested data plus a readahead, and the error occurs in readahead, we'll just strip off the readahead and report junk up to userspace as good data with no error. The fix for this is to have the error position computation take into account the amount of data returned by the driver using the scsi residual data. Unfortunately, not every driver fills in this data, but for those who don't, it's set to zero, which means we'll think a full set of data was transferred and the behaviour will be identical to the prior behaviour of the code (believe the buffer up to the error sector). All modern drivers seem to set the residual, so that should fix up the LSI failure/corruption case.

2010-12-22taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment issues on ia64Jeff Mahoney
The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4 bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type. Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems") previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field. This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change, since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

2010-12-22include/linux/unaligned: pack the whole struct rather than just the fieldWill Newton
The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than to the struct as a whole. This is not sufficient to enforce proper behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than one byte. For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary: __get_unaligned_cpu16: ldrh r0, [r0, #0] bx lr Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the proper unaligned access code to be generated: __get_unaligned_cpu16: ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 ldrb r0, [r0, #1] @ zero_extendqisi2 orr r0, r3, r0, asl #8 bx lr Signed-off-by: Will Newton <will.newton@gmail.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
