2008-09-14xen: fix for xen guest with mem > 3.7GJeremy Fitzhardinge
PFN_PHYS() can truncate large addresses unless its passed a suitable large type. This is fixed more generally in the patch series introducing phys_addr_t, but we need a short-term fix to solve a Xen regression reported by Roberto De Ioris.

2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: add support for chips without transmit bandwidth controlLennert Buytenhek
Add support for mv643xx_eth versions that have no transmit bandwidth control registers at all, such as the ethernet block found in the Marvell 88F6183 ARM SoC. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: avoid reading ->byte_cnt twice during receive processingLennert Buytenhek
Currently, the receive processing reads ->byte_cnt twice (once to update interface statistics and once to properly size the data area of the received skb), but since receive descriptors live in uncached memory, caching this value in a local variable saves one uncached access, and increases routing performance a tiny little bit more. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: shrink default receive and transmit queue sizesLennert Buytenhek
Since the size of the receive queue is directly related to the data cache footprint of the driver (between refilling a receive ring entry with a fresh skb and receiving a packet in that entry, queue_size - 1 other skbs will have been touched), shrink the default receive queue size to a saner number of entries, as 400 is definite overkill for almost all workloads. While we are at it, trim the default transmit queue size a bit as well. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: replace array of skbs awaiting transmit completion with a queueLennert Buytenhek
Get rid of the skb pointer array that we currently use for transmit reclaim, and replace it with an skb queue, to which skbuffs are appended when they are passed to the xmit function, and removed from the front and freed when we do transmit queue reclaim and hit a descriptor with the 'owned by device' bit clear and 'last descriptor' bit set.

2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: avoid dropping tx lock during transmit reclaimLennert Buytenhek
By moving DMA unmapping during transmit reclaim back under the netif tx lock, we avoid the situation where we read the DMA address and buffer length from the descriptor under the lock and then not do anything with that data after dropping the lock on platforms where the DMA unmapping routines are all NOPs (which is the case on all ARM platforms that mv643xx_eth is used on at least). This saves two uncached reads, which makes a small but measurable performance difference in routing benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: switch to netif tx queue lock, get rid of private spinlockLennert Buytenhek
Since our ->hard_start_xmit() method is already called under spinlock protection (the netif tx queue lock), we can simply make that lock cover the private transmit state (descriptor ring indexes et al.) as well, which avoids having to use a private lock to protect that state. Since this was the last user of the driver-private spinlock, it can be killed off. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
2008-09-14mv643xx_eth: move all work to the napi poll handlerLennert Buytenhek
Move link status handling, transmit reclaim and TX_END handling from the interrupt handler to the napi poll handler. This allows switching ->lock over to a non-IRQ-safe lock and removes all explicit interrupt disabling from the driver. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

2008-09-13memstick: fix MSProHG 8-bit interface mode supportAlex Dubov
- 8-bit interface mode never worked properly. The only adapter I have which supports the 8b mode (the Jmicron) had some problems with its clock wiring and they discovered it only now. We also discovered that ProHG media is more sensitive to the ordering of initialization commands. - Make the driver fall back to highest supported mode instead of always falling back to serial. The driver will attempt the switch to 8b mode for any new MSPro card, but not all of them support it. Previously, these new cards ended up in serial mode, which is not the best idea (they work fine with 4b, after all). - Edit some macros for better conformance to Sony documentation Signed-off-by: Alex Dubov <oakad@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Herton Krzesinski reports that the error-checking changes in 04ebd4aee52b06a2c38127d9208546e5b96f3a19 ("block/ioctl.c and fs/partition/check.c: check value returned by add_partition") cause his buggy USB camera to no longer mount. "The camera is an Olympus X-840. The original issue comes from the camera itself: its format program creates a partition with an off by one error". Buggy devices happen. It is better for the kernel to warn and to proceed with the mount.

2008-09-13atmel_lcdfb: disable LCD and DMA engines when suspendingHaavard Skinnemoen
When suspending the system with atmel_lcdfb enabled, I sometimes see this: atmel_lcdfb atmel_lcdfb.0: FIFO underflow 0x10 Which can be explained by the fact that we're not stopping the LCD controller and its DMA engine when suspending, we're just gating the clocks to them. There's another potential issue which may be harder to trigger but much more nasty: If we gate the clocks at _just_ the right moment, e.g. when the DMA engine is doing a bus transaction, we may cause the DMA engine to violate the system bus protocol and cause a lockup. Avoid these issues by shutting down the LCD controller before entering suspend (and restarting it when resuming). This prevents the underrun from happening in the first place, and prevents whatever nastiness is happening when the bus clock stops in the middle of a DMA transfer.

2008-09-13ia64: fix panic during `modprobe -r xpc'Robin Holt
If you are on ia64 and you modprobe xpc then modprobe -r xpc, you immediately get a panic. xpc depends on xp which depends on gru for a symbol. That symbol is only used when we are running on UV hardware. Currently, the GRU driver detects we are not on UV hardware and does no initializing. It does not do the same check when unloading. As a result, the gru driver attempts to tear down stuff that was not setup. This is a simple two-line workaround to get us through this release. Once 2.6.28 is opened, we need to rework the symbols that xp is depending on from gru so the gru driver can properly fail to load when hardware is not available.

2008-09-13mm: mark the correct zone as full when scanning zonelistsMel Gorman
The iterator for_each_zone_zonelist() uses a struct zoneref *z cursor when scanning zonelists to keep track of where in the zonelist it is. The zoneref that is returned corresponds to the the next zone that is to be scanned, not the current one. It was intended to be treated as an opaque list. When the page allocator is scanning a zonelist, it marks elements in the zonelist corresponding to zones that are temporarily full. As the zonelist is being updated, it uses the cursor here; if (NUMA_BUILD) zlc_mark_zone_full(zonelist, z); This is intended to prevent rescanning in the near future but the zoneref cursor does not correspond to the zone that has been found to be full. This is an easy misunderstanding to make so this patch corrects the problem by changing zoneref cursor to be the current zone being scanned instead of the next one.

2008-09-13pxa2xx_spi: dma bugfixesNed Forrester
Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. The first bug is in all versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel, and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can issue large DMA reads). 1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing, but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode. Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers. 2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode. A test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA or PIO mode. Worked around by rejecting only large transfers with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers larger than 8191 to use PIO mode. A rate limited warning is issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode. This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20; it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

2008-09-13pxa2xx_spi: chipselect bugfixesNed Forrester
Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. These bugs are in all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16 flash. 1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early: before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the delay ineffective at holding chip select. 2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough). 3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the next message. Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays and chip select de-assertions. 4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer, and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3, above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is for a different chip. Fixed by dropping chip select regardless of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message or if the next message is for a different chip. This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20; it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

2008-09-13[libata] LBA28/LBA48 off-by-one bug in ata.hTaisuke Yamada
I recently bought 3 HGST P7K500-series 500GB SATA drives and had trouble accessing the block right on the LBA28-LBA48 border. Here's how it fails (same for all 3 drives): # dd if=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 skip=268435455 > /dev/null dd: reading `/dev/sdc': Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.288033 seconds, 0.0 kB/s # dmesg ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef tag 0 dma 4096 in res 51/04:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef Emask 0x1 (device error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { ABRT } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata1: EH complete ... After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access. Following part is the code in question: === include/linux/ata.h === static inline int lba_28_ok(u64 block, u32 n_block) { /* check the ending block number */ return ((block + n_block - 1) < ((u64)1 << 28)) && (n_block <= 256); } HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff, n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives, including other HGST drives are not that strict, through. >From the ATA specification: (http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf) 8.15.29 Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh. So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe. The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe this fix works reliably. Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver. "28-bit LBA command is being used to access LBAs 29-bits in length" http://www.hitachigst.com/hddt/knowtree.nsf/cffe836ed7c12018862565b000530c74/b531b8bce8745fb78825740f00580e23 Also, *BSDs seems to have similar fix included sometime around ~2004, through I have not checked out exact portion of the code.

2008-09-13[SCSI] qla2xxx: Defer enablement of RISC interrupts until ISP initialization ↵Andrew Vasquez
completes. Josip Rodin noted (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.sparc/10152) the driver oopsing during registration of an rport to the FC-transport layer with a backtrace indicating a dereferencing of an shost->shost_data equal to NULL. David Miller identified a small window in driver logic where this could happen: > Look at how the driver registers the IRQ handler before the host has > been registered with the SCSI layer. > > That leads to a window of time where the shost hasn't been setup > fully, yet ISRs can come in and trigger DPC thread events, such as > loop resyncs, which expect the transport area to be setup. > > But it won't be setup, because scsi_add_host() hasn't finished yet. > > Note that in Josip's crash log, we don't even see the > > qla_printk(KERN_INFO, ha, "\n" > " QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver: %s\n" > " QLogic %s - %s\n" > " ISP%04X: %s @ %s hdma%c, host#=%ld, fw=%s\n", > ... > > message yet. > > Which means that the crash occurs between qla2x00_request_irqs() > and printing that message.

2008-09-12pkt_sched: Add multiqueue scheduler supportAlexander Duyck
This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware queue. This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.

2008-09-12tcp_ipv6: fix use of uninitialized memoryVegard Nossum
inet6_rsk() is called on a struct request_sock * before we have checked whether the socket is an ipv6 socket or a ipv6- mapped ipv4 socket. The access that triggers this is the inet_rsk(rsk)->inet6_rsk_offset dereference in inet6_rsk(). This is arguably not a critical error as the inet6_rsk_offset is only used to compute a pointer which is never really used (in the code path in question) anyway. But it might be a latent error, so let's fix it. Spotted by kmemcheck.

2008-09-12net: fix scheduling of dst_gc_task by __dst_freeBenjamin Thery
The dst garbage collector dst_gc_task() may not be scheduled as we expect it to be in __dst_free(). Indeed, when the dst_gc_timer was replaced by the delayed_work dst_gc_work, the mod_timer() call used to schedule the garbage collector at an earlier date was replaced by a schedule_delayed_work() (see commit 86bba269d08f0c545ae76c90b56727f65d62d57f). But, the behaviour of mod_timer() and schedule_delayed_work() is different in the way they handle the delay. mod_timer() stops the timer and re-arm it with the new given delay, whereas schedule_delayed_work() only check if the work is already queued in the workqueue (and queue it (with delay) if it is not) BUT it does NOT take into account the new delay (even if the new delay is earlier in time). schedule_delayed_work() returns 0 if it didn't queue the work, but we don't check the return code in __dst_free(). If I understand the code in __dst_free() correctly, we want dst_gc_task to be queued after DST_GC_INC jiffies if we pass the test (and not in some undetermined time in the future), so I think we should add a call to cancel_delayed_work() before schedule_delayed_work(). Patch below. Or we should at least test the return code of schedule_delayed_work(), and reset the values of dst_garbage.timer_inc and dst_garbage.timer_expires back to their former values if schedule_delayed_work() failed. Otherwise the subsequent calls to __dst_free will test the wrong values and assume wrong thing about when the garbage collector is supposed to be scheduled. dst_gc_task() also calls schedule_delayed_work() without checking its return code (or calling cancel_scheduled_work() first), but it should fine there: dst_gc_task is the routine of the delayed_work, so no dst_gc_work should be pending in the queue when it's running.
