2009-05-298250: Fix oops from setserialAlan Cox
If you setserial a port which has never been initialised we change the type but don't update the I/O method pointers. The same problem is true if you change the io type of a port - but nobody ever does that so nobody noticed! Remember the old type and when attaching if the type has changed reload the port accessor pointers. We can't do it blindly as some 8250 drivers load custom accessors and we must not stomp those.

2009-05-28usb-serial: fix crash when sub-driver updates firmwareAlan Stern
This patch (as1244) fixes a crash in usb-serial that occurs when a sub-driver returns a positive value from its attach method, indicating that new firmware was loaded and the device will disconnect and reconnect. The usb-serial core then skips the step of registering the port devices; when the disconnect occurs, the attempt to unregister the ports fails dramatically. This problem shows up with Keyspan devices and it might affect others as well. When the attach method returns a positive value, the patch sets num_ports to 0. This tells usb_serial_disconnect() not to try unregistering any of the ports; instead they are cleaned up by destroy_serial().

2009-05-28USB: isp1760: urb_dequeue doesn't always find the urbsWarren Free
The option driver (and presumably others) allocates several URBs when it opens and tries to free them when it closes. The isp1760_urb_dequeue function gets called, but the packet being dequeued is not necessarily at the front of one of the 32 queues. If not, the isp1760_urb_done function doesn't get called for the URB and the process trying to free it hangs forever on a wait_queue. This patch does two things. If the URB being dequeued has others queued behind it, it re-queues them. And it searches the queues looking for the URB being dequeued rather than just looking at the one at the front of the queue.

2009-05-27i915: Set object to gtt domain when faulting it back inKristian Høgsberg
When a GEM object is evicted from the GTT we set it to the CPU domain, as it might get swapped in and out or ever mmapped regularly. If the object is mmapped through the GTT it can still get evicted in this way by other objects requiring GTT space. When the GTT mapping is touched again we fault it back into the GTT, but fail to set it back to the GTT domain. This means we fail to flush any cached CPU writes to the pages backing the object which will then happen "eventually", typically after we write to the page through the uncached GTT mapping. [anholt: Note that userland does do a set_domain(GTT, GTT) when starting to access the GTT mapping. That covers getting the existing mapping of the object synchronized if it's bound to the GTT. But set_domain(GTT, GTT) doesn't do anything if the object is currently unbound. This fix covers the transition to being bound for GTT mapping.] Fixes glyph and other pixmap corruption during swapping. fd.o bug #21790 Signed-off-by: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

2009-05-26drm/i915: Apply a big hammer to 865 GEM object CPU cache flushing.Eric Anholt
On the 865, but not the 855, the clflush we do appears to not actually make it out to the hardware all the time. An easy way to safely reproduce was X -retro, which would show that some of the blits involved in drawing the lovely root weave didn't make it out to the hardware. Those blits are 32 bytes each, and 1-2 would be missing at various points around the screen. Other experimentation (doing more clflush, doing more AGP chipset flush, poking at some more device registers to maybe trigger more flushing) didn't help. krh came up with the wbinvd as a way to successfully get all those blits to appear.

2009-05-26drm/i915: Fix tiling pitch handling on 8xx.Eric Anholt
The pitch field is an exponent on pre-965, so we were rejecting buffers on 8xx that we shouldn't have. 915 got lucky in that the largest legal value happened to match (8KB / 512 = 0x10), but 8xx has a smaller tile width. Additionally, we programmed that bad value into the register on 8xx, so the only pitch that would work correctly was 4096 (512-1023 pixels), while others would probably give bad rendering or hangs.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to dbs_timer_exit(). Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place (replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work). Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section : cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev() ... if (cpufreq_driver->target) __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP); unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu); To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without being nested within the rwsem. Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree. Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed unneeded.

2009-05-25r8169: avoid losing MSI interruptsDavid Dillow
The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not see a new interrupt. The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all sources quiescent.

2009-05-25mac8390: fix regression caused during net_device_ops conversionFinn Thain
Changeset ca17584bf2ad1b1e37a5c0e4386728cc5fc9dabc ("mac8390: update to net_device_ops") broke mac8390 by adding 8390.o to the link. That meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in mac8390.c and once in 8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. They seem to be of no value since COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS is going away soon. Tested with a Kinetics EtherPort card. Signed-off-by: Finn Thain <fthain@telegraphics.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-26md: don't use locked_ioctl.NeilBrown
md has no need for the BKL - it does its own locking. So md_ioctl doesn't need to be a locked_ioctl. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-26md: don't update curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.NeilBrown
In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position. The reshape code updates both at the same time. However since commit 97e4f42d62badb0f9fbc27c013e89bc1336a03bc the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed but is not in a position to update reshape_position. So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality reshape code.

2009-05-26md: raid5: avoid sector values going negative when testing reshape progress.NeilBrown
As sector_t in unsigned, we cannot afford to let 'safepos' etc go negative. So replace a -= b; by a -= min(b,a); Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-26md: export 'frozen' resync state through sysfsNeilBrown
The md resync engine has a 'frozen' state which ensures that no resync/recovery. This is used to avoid races. Export this state through the 'sync_action' sysfs attribute so that user-space can benefit and also avoid some races. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-26md: bitmap: improve bitmap maintenance code.NeilBrown
The code for checking which bits in the bitmap can be cleared has 2 problems: 1/ it repeatedly takes and drops a spinlock, where it would make more sense to just hold on to it most of the time. 2/ it doesn't make use of some opportunities to skip large sections of the bitmap This patch fixes those. It will only affect CPU consumption, not correctness. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-26md: improve errno return when setting array_sizeNeilBrown

2009-05-25gianfar: fix BUG under load after introduction of skb recyclingLennert Buytenhek
Since commit 0fd56bb5be6455d0d42241e65aed057244665e5e ("gianfar: Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in the rx ring back onto the recycle list as-is in case there was a receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD. The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put(). Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned invariant, and should fix this issue.

2009-05-24PM: Do not hold dpm_list_mtx while disabling/enabling nonboot CPUsRafael J. Wysocki
We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing [disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes Berg): CPU 3 CPU 2 CPU 1 suspend/hibernate something: rtnl_lock() device_pm_lock() -> mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx) mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx) linkwatch_work -> rtnl_lock() disable_nonboot_cpus() -> flush CPU 3 workqueue Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that might lead to the registration of new device objects way before disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and early part of device resume. Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release it right after that.
