2010-12-02cs5535-gpio: apply CS5536 errata workaround for GPIOsAndres Salomon
The AMD Geode CS5536 Companion Device Silicon Revision B1 Specification Update mentions the follow as issue #36: "Atomic write transactions to the atomic GPIO High Bank Feature Bit registers should only affect the bits selected [...]" "after Suspend, an atomic write transaction [...] will clear all non-selected bits of the accessed register." In other words, writing to the high bank for a single GPIO bit will clear every other GPIO bit (but only sometimes after a suspend). The workaround described is obvious and simple; do a read-modify-write. This patch does that, and documents why we're doing it.

2010-12-02reiserfs: don't acquire lock recursively in reiserfs_acl_chmodFrederic Weisbecker
reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then take the reiserfs lock a second time. Thereafter it may call journal_begin() that definitely requires the lock not to be nested in order to release it before taking the journal mutex because the reiserfs lock depends on the journal mutex already. So, aviod nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().

2010-12-02leds: fix up dependenciesJohannes Berg
It's not useful to build LED triggers when there's no LEDs that can be triggered by them. Therefore, fix up the dependencies so that this cannot happen, and fix a few users that select triggers to depend on LEDS_CLASS as well (there is also one user that also selects LEDS_CLASS, which is OK).

2010-12-02xen: fix MSI setup and teardown for PV on HVM guestsStefano Stabellini
When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible for doing the actual mapping and unmapping. We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI. This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would try to assign a new pirq anyway. A simple way to reproduce this bug is to assign an MSI capable network card to a PV on HVM guest, if the user brings down the corresponding ethernet interface and up again, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the device.

2010-12-02xen: use PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq to implement find_unbound_pirqStefano Stabellini
Use the new hypercall PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq to ask Xen to allocate a pirq. Remove the unsupported PHYSDEVOP_get_nr_pirqs hypercall to get the amount of pirq available. This fixes find_unbound_pirq that otherwise would return a number starting from nr_irqs that might very well be out of range in Xen. The symptom of this bug is that when you passthrough an MSI capable pci device to a PV on HVM guest, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the device.

IOWs, ~50% of the CPU is being consumed just testing whether we need to inject an error, even though error injection is not active.

2010-12-01xfs: avoid moving stale inodes in the AILDave Chinner
When an inode has been marked stale because the cluster is being freed, we don't want to (re-)insert this inode into the AIL. There is a race condition where the cluster buffer may be unpinned before the inode is inserted into the AIL during transaction committed processing. If the buffer is unpinned before the inode item has been committed and inserted, then it is possible for the buffer to be released and hence processthe stale inode callbacks before the inode is inserted into the AIL. In this case, we then insert a clean, stale inode into the AIL which will never get removed by an IO completion. It will, however, get reclaimed and that triggers an assert in xfs_inode_free() complaining about freeing an inode still in the AIL. This race can be avoided by not moving stale inodes forward in the AIL during transaction commit completion processing. This closes the race condition by ensuring we never insert clean stale inodes into the AIL. It is safe to do this because a dirty stale inode, by definition, must already be in the AIL.

2010-12-01xfs: delayed alloc blocks beyond EOF are valid after writebackDave Chinner
There is an assumption in the parts of XFS that flushing a dirty file will make all the delayed allocation blocks disappear from an inode. That is, that after calling xfs_flush_pages() then ip->i_delayed_blks will be zero. This is an invalid assumption as we may have specualtive preallocation beyond EOF and they are recorded in ip->i_delayed_blks. A flush of the dirty pages of an inode will not change the state of these blocks beyond EOF, so a non-zero deeelalloc block count after a flush is valid. The bmap code has an invalid ASSERT() that needs to be removed, and the swapext code has a bug in that while it swaps the data forks around, it fails to swap the i_delayed_blks counter associated with the fork and hence can get the block accounting wrong.
