2008-06-25[SCSI] esp: tidy up target reference countingJames Bottomley
The esp driver currently does hand rolled reference counting of its target. It's much easier to do what it needs to do if it's plugged into the mid-layer callbacks (target_alloc and target_destroy) which were designed for this case, so do it this way and get rid of the internal target reference count.

The usb_cache_mutex was not correctly released under all circumstances. Both rt73usb as rt2500usb didn't release the mutex under certain conditions when the register access failed. Obviously such failure would lead to deadlocks. In addition under similar circumstances when the bbp register couldn't be read the value must be set to 0xff to indicate that the value is wrong.

2008-06-25xen: add mechanism to extend existing multicallsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on. In general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a multicall). This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its argument list. The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the args array of mmu_update. This is particularly valuable when doing the update for a large mprotect, which goes via ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to pgd/pmds as well.

2008-06-25xen: implement ptep_modify_prot_start/commitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving its accessed and dirty bits. This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be implemented as a simple read of the pte value. The hardware may update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime. The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy mmu mode. The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor. The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.

2008-06-25mm: add a ptep_modify_prot transaction abstractionJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch adds an API for doing read-modify-write updates to a pte's protection bits which may race against hardware updates to the pte. After reading the pte, the hardware may asynchonously set the accessed or dirty bits on a pte, which would be lost when writing back the modified pte value. The existing technique to handle this race is to use ptep_get_and_clear() atomically fetch the old pte value and clear it in memory. This has the effect of marking the pte as non-present, which will prevent the hardware from updating its state. When the new value is written back, the pte will be present again, and the hardware can resume updating the access/dirty flags. When running in a virtualized environment, pagetable updates are relatively expensive, since they generally involve some trap into the hypervisor. To mitigate the cost of these updates, we tend to batch them. However, because of the atomic nature of ptep_get_and_clear(), it is inherently non-batchable. This new interface allows batching by giving the underlying implementation enough information to open a transaction between the read and write phases: ptep_modify_prot_start() returns the current pte value, and puts the pte entry into a state where either the hardware will not update the pte, or if it does, the updates will be preserved on commit. ptep_modify_prot_commit() writes back the updated pte, makes sure that any hardware updates made since ptep_modify_prot_start() are preserved. ptep_modify_prot_start() and _commit() must be exactly paired, and used while holding the appropriate pte lock. They do not protect against other software updates of the pte in any way. The current implementations of ptep_modify_prot_start and _commit are functionally unchanged from before: _start() uses ptep_get_and_clear() fetch the pte and zero the entry, preventing any hardware updates. _commit() simply writes the new pte value back knowing that the hardware has not updated the pte in the meantime. The only current user of this interface is mprotect Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-06-24[SCSI] esp: Fix OOPS in esp_reset_cleanup().David S. Miller
OOPS reported by Friedrich Oslage <bluebird@porno-bullen.de> The problem here is that tp->starget is set every time a lun is allocated for a particular target so we can catch the sdev_target parent value. The reset handler uses the NULL'ness of this value to determine which targets are active. But esp_slave_destroy() does not NULL out this value when appropriate. So for every target that doesn't respond, the SCSI bus scan causes a stale pointer to be left here, with ensuing crashes like you're seeing. Signed-off-by: David S.
