2009-02-13ASoC: Only register AC97 bus if it's not done alreadyMark Brown
ASoC supports both explicit codec drivers for AC97 devices and a simple driver which uses the standard ALSA AC97 framework for codec support. When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the ad hoc AC97 device for drivers like touchscreens to attach to so the core shouldn't do so.

2009-02-13timers: more consistently use clock vs timerPeter Zijlstra
While reviewing the manpages, I noticed I'd missed some clock vs timer sites. Make sure that all timer functions call cpu_timer_sample_group() and not cpu_clock_sample_group(). This ensures that we enable the process wide timer in time, and therefore pay the O(n) thread group cost from the syscall. Not doing it here, will result in the first jiffy tick after setting the timer doing this, resulting in a very expensive tick (but only once) and a delay in actually starting the timer.

2009-02-13ALSA: hda - Add snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup()Takashi Iwai
Added the helper function snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() to clean up the digital outputs with multi setup. This call is needed in cases the codec supports multiple digital outputs as slaves. Otherwise the slave widgets aren't properly cleaned up. For a single digital output (e.g. in patch_conexant.c), this call isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2009-02-13x86, hpet: fix for LS21 + HPET = boot hangjohn stultz
Between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc1 a change was made that broke IBM LS21 systems that had the HPET enabled in the BIOS, resulting in boot hangs for x86_64. Specifically commit b8ce33590687888ebb900d09557b8807c4539022, which merges the i386 and x86_64 HPET code. Prior to this commit, when we setup the HPET timers in x86_64, we did the following: hpet_writel(HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT, HPET_T0_CFG); However after the i386/x86_64 HPET merge, we do the following: cfg = hpet_readl(HPET_Tn_CFG(timer)); cfg |= HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT; hpet_writel(cfg, HPET_Tn_CFG(timer)); However on LS21s with HPET enabled in the BIOS, the HPET_T0_CFG register boots with Level triggered interrupts (HPET_TN_LEVEL) enabled. This causes the periodic interrupt to be not so periodic, and that results in the boot time hang I reported earlier in the delay calibration. My fix: Always disable HPET_TN_LEVEL when setting up periodic mode. Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-13ALSA: hda - Change HP dv7 (103c:30f4) quirk from hp-m4 to hp-dv5 modelHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
Change HP dv7 quirk: although reported to work with hp-m4 model (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445321), the original report doesn't contain info about testing of internal microphone. Recently I received a report about internal mic not working (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c193), this must be related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c196).

2009-02-13powerpc/mm: Fix numa reserve bootmem page selectionDave Hansen
Fix the powerpc NUMA reserve bootmem page selection logic. commit 8f64e1f2d1e09267ac926e15090fd505c1c0cbcb (powerpc: Reserve in bootmem lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes) changed the logic for how the powerpc LMB reserved regions were converted to bootmen reserved regions. As the folowing discussion reports, the new logic was not correct. mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() goes through each LMB on the system that specifies a reserved area. It searches for active regions that intersect with that LMB and are on the specified node. It attempts to bootmem-reserve only the area where the active region and the reserved LMB intersect. We can not reserve things on other nodes as they may not have bootmem structures allocated, yet. We base the size of the bootmem reservation on two possible things. Normally, we just make the reservation start and stop exactly at the start and end of the LMB. However, the LMB reservations are not aware of NUMA nodes and on occasion a single LMB may cross into several adjacent active regions. Those may even be on different NUMA nodes and will require separate calls to the bootmem reserve functions. So, the bootmem reservation must be trimmed to fit inside the current active region. That's all fine and dandy, but we trim the reservation in a page-aligned fashion. That's bad because we start the reservation at a non-page-aligned address: physbase. The reservation may only span 2 bytes, but that those bytes may span two pfns and cause a reserve_size of 2*PAGE_SIZE. Take the case where you reserve 0x2 bytes at 0x0fff and where the active region ends at 0x1000. You'll jump into that if() statment, but node_ar.end_pfn=0x1 and start_pfn=0x0. You'll end up with a reserve_size=0x1000, and then call reserve_bootmem_node(node, physbase=0xfff, size=0x1000); 0x1000 may not be on the same node as 0xfff. Oops. In almost all the vm code, end_<anything> is not inclusive. If you have an end_pfn of 0x1234, page 0x1234 is not included in the range. Using PFN_UP instead of the (>> >> PAGE_SHIFT) will make this consistent with the other VM code. We also need to do math for the reserved size with physbase instead of start_pfn. node_ar.end_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT is *precisely* the end of the node. However, (start_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) is *NOT* precisely the beginning of the reserved area. That is, of course, physbase. If we don't use physbase here, the reserve_size can be made too large.

2009-02-12net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()Andrew Morton
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations from spinlocked regions. Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy callsites. Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no idea what this patch will do.

2009-02-12Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locksChris Mason
Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with, and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in. The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block. btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep gets upset about bad lock orderin. The lockdep magic cam from Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-02-12Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdownNick Piggin
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no more work to be done. But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout, we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0. This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and caused bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604 about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically. With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly 5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

2009-02-12Btrfs: use larger metadata clusters in ssd modeChris Mason
Larger metadata clusters can significantly improve writeback performance on ssd drives with large erasure blocks. The larger clusters make it more likely a given IO will completely overwrite the ssd block, so it doesn't have to do an internal rwm cycle. On spinning media, lager metadata clusters end up spreading out the metadata more over time, which makes fsck slower, so we don't want this to be the default.
