When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit. Because most drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by removing all but the last wakeup. The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets. The user space API does not change, so one call to FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take advantage of this optimization. In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU, or to one third at 800 MHz. Signed-off-by:

We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e "firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads". (Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2, and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data. snd-firewire-lib got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the 8-byte transaction buffer.) This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations. Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers anymore. Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler. Signed-off-by:

Commit a626ca6a ("vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in stack expansion") fixed the case of an expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you had downward stack expansion. But there was another case where IA64 and PA-RISC expand mappings: upward expansion. This fixes that case too. Signed-off-by:

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too. This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch. [ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and share the infrstructure with the /proc bits. Tested on ia64 that has both grow-up and grow-down segments - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

If we're using vga switcheroo, the device may be turned off and poking it can return random state. This provokes an OOPS fixed separately by 8ff887c847 (drm/i915/dp: Be paranoid in case we disable a DP before it is attached). Trying to use and respond to events on a device that has been turned off by the user is in principle a silly thing to do. Signed-off-by:

Despite the fixes in 548f245b (drm/i915: fix per-pipe reads after "cleanup"), we missed one neighbouring read that was mistakenly replaced with the reg value in 9db4a9c7 (drm/i915: cleanup per-pipe reg usage). This was preventing us from correctly determining the mode the BIOS left the panel in for machines that neither have an OpRegion nor access to the VBT, (e.g. the EeePC 700). Signed-off-by:

NV40 and older cards (pre NV50) reserve a vram bo for the vga memory at card init. This bo is then freed at card shutdown. The problem is that the ttm bo vram manager was already freed. So a crash occurs when the vga bo is freed. The fix is to free the vga bo prior to freeing the ttm bo vram manager. There might be other solutions but this seemed the simplest to me. Signed-off-by:
