2009-11-27x86/amd-iommu: Make iommu_flush_pages aware of multiple IOMMUsJoerg Roedel
This patch extends the iommu_flush_pages function to flush the TLB entries on all IOMMUs the domain has devices on. This basically gives up the former assumption that dma_ops domains are only bound to one IOMMU in the system. For dma_ops domains this is still true but not for IOMMU-API managed domains. Giving this assumption up for dma_ops domains too allows code simplification. Further it splits out the main logic into a generic function which can be used by iommu_flush_tlb too.

2009-11-27x86/amd-iommu: Add an index field to struct amd_iommuJoerg Roedel

2009-11-27softlockup: Fix hung_task_check_count sysctlAnton Blanchard
I'm seeing spikes of up to 0.5ms in khungtaskd on a large machine. To reduce this source of jitter I tried setting hung_task_check_count to 0: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_count which didn't have the intended response. Change to a post increment of max_count, so a value of 0 means check 0 tasks.

2009-11-26[SCSI] fix crash when disconnecting usb storageAlexey Kuznetsov
__scsi_remove_device() in scsi_forget_host() is executed out of scan_mutex and races with scsi_destroy_sdev() <- scsi_sysfs_add_devices() <- scsi_finish_async_scan(). The result is use after free and/or double free, oops. The fix is simple, move scsi_forget_host() under scan_mutex. scsi_forget_host() is just sequence of __scsi_remove_device().

2009-11-26[SCSI] fix async scan add/remove race resulting in an oopsJames Bottomley
Async scanning introduced a very wide window where the SCSI device is up and running but has not yet been added to sysfs. We delay the adding until all scans have completed to retain the same ordering as sync scanning. This delay in visibility causes an oops if a device is removed before we make it visible because the SCSI removal routines have an inbuilt assumption that if a device is in SDEV_RUNNING state, it must be visible (which is not necessarily true in the async scanning case). Fix this by introducing an additional is_visible flag which we can use to condition the tear down so we do the right thing for running but not yet made visible.

2009-11-25ide: fix ioctl to pass requested transfer mode to ide_find_dma_mode instead ↵Hemant Pedanekar
of UDMA6 Currently, ide_cmd_ioctl when invoked for setting DMA transfer mode calls ide_find_dma_mode with requested mode as XFER_UDMA_6. This prevents setting DMA mode to any other value than the default (maximum) supported by the device (or UDMA6, if supported) irrespective of the actual requested transfer mode and returns error. For example, setting mode to UDMA2 using hdparm, where UDMA4 is the default transfer mode gives following error: # ./hdparm -d1 -Xudma2 /dev/hda /dev/hda:hda: UDMA/66 mode selected setting using_dma to 1 (on) hda: UDMA/66 mode selected setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Invalid argument using_dma = 1 (on) This patch fixes the issue.

2009-11-25tracing: Separate raw syscall from syscall tracerLai Jiangshan
The current syscall tracer mixes raw syscalls and real syscalls. echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable And we get these from the output: (XXXX insteads " grep-20914 [001] 588211.446347" .. etc) XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 80609a8, count: 7000) XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 80609a8, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138 XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312 XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 8060ae0, count: 7000) XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 8060ae0, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138 XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312 There are 2 drawbacks here. A) two almost identical records are saved in ringbuffer when a syscall enters or exits. (4 records for every syscall) This wastes precious space in the ring buffer. B) the lines including "sys_enter/sys_exit" produces hardly any useful information for the output (no labels). The user can use this method to prevent these drawbacks: echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_enter/enable echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_exit/enable But this is not user friendly. So we separate raw syscall from syscall tracer. After this fix applied: syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable): XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: bfe87d88, count: 200) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x200 XXXX: sys_fstat64(fd: 3, statbuf: bfe87c98) XXXX: sys_fstat64 -> 0x0 XXXX: sys_close(fd: 3) raw syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/raw_syscalls/enable): XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (0, bf92bf18, bf92bf98, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8) XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0 XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (2, bf92bf98, 0, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8) XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0 XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (9, bf927f9c, 4000, b77e2518, b77dce60, bf92bff8) Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4AEFC37C.5080609@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-11-25ring-buffer-benchmark: Add parameters to set produce/consumer prioritiesSteven Rostedt
Running the ring-buffer-benchmark's threads at the lowest priority may work well for keeping it in the background, but it is not appropriate for the benchmarks. This patch adds 4 parameters to the module: consumer_fifo consumer_nice producer_fifo producer_nice By default the consumer and producer still run at nice +19. If the *_fifo options are set, they will override the *_nice values. modprobe ring_buffer_benchmark consumer_nice=0 producer_fifo=10 The above will set the consumer thread to a nice value of 0, and the producer thread to a RT SCHED_FIFO priority of 10. Note, this patch also fixes a bug where calling set_user_nice on the consumer thread would oops the kernel when the parameter "disable_reader" is set.

2009-11-25thinkpad-acpi: fix detection of old ThinkPadsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
There is a problem in the quirk tables used by tpacpi_is_fw_known() and tpacpi_check_outdated_fw(), which causes outdated BIOSes that are lacking the EC firmware ID DMI field to never match. This breaks module loading on, e.g. a T23 with outdated BIOS, and the module will refuse to load unless the "force_load=1" parameter is given. Fix the quirk tables so that they can also match the outdated BIOSes, which in turn will both fix the module loading, and also warn the user that he is using outdated firmware and should upgrade. This fixes a serious regression, introduced by commit e675abafcc0df38125e6e94a9ba91c92fe774f52, "thinkpad-acpi: be more strict when detecting a ThinkPad". http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14597 Reported-by: Paul Kimoto <kimoto@lightlink.com> Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Tested-by: Paul Kimoto <kimoto@lightlink.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-11-24[CIFS] Duplicate data on appending to some Samba serversSteve French
SMB writes are sent with a starting offset and length. When the server supports the newer SMB trans2 posix open (rather than using the SMB NTCreateX) a file can be opened with SMB_O_APPEND flag, and for that case Samba server assumes that the offset sent in SMBWriteX is unneeded since the write should go to the end of the file - which can cause problems if the write was cached (since the beginning part of a page could be written twice by the client mm). Jeff suggested that masking the flag on posix open on the client is easiest for the time being. Note that recent Samba server also had an unrelated problem with SMB NTCreateX and append (see samba bugzilla bug number 6898) which should not affect current Linux clients (unless cifs Unix Extensions are disabled). The cifs client did not send the O_APPEND flag on posix open before 2.6.29 so the fix is unneeded on early kernels. In the future, for the non-cached case (O_DIRECT, and forcedirectio mounts) it would be possible and useful to send O_APPEND on posix open (for Windows case: FILE_APPEND_DATA but not FILE_WRITE_DATA on SMB NTCreateX) but for cached writes although the vfs sets the offset to end of file it may fragment a write across pages - so we can't send O_APPEND on open (could result in sending part of a page twice).
