I have some code (in sginfo) that requests the first 4 bytes
of SCSI INQUIRY VPD pages to get their length then asks for
that exact length in a follow up request to fetch the payload.
Just like I saw with 36 byte standard INQUIRYs (no fixed)
I get a buffer  full or zeroes.

BTW SCSI standards dictate that in situations where the allocation
length (in the cdb) is less than what is needed that what can be
sent shall be sent (i.e. truncated and without any error indication
or modification to the part of the response returned).
In other words it is up the the application client to take remedial
action.

Changelog:
   - fix off-by-1 allocation length issue with SCSI
     INQUIRY VPD pages 0x80 and 0x83

libata made the assumption that (for PIO commands in this case)
it could modify DMA memory at the kernel-virtual address, after
mapping this.  This is incorrect, and fails on e.g. platforms that
copy DMA memory back and forth (swiotlb on Intel EM64T and IA64).

Remove this assumption by ensuring that we only call the DMA mapping
routines if we really are going to use DMA for data xfer.

Also:  remove a bogus WARN_ON() in ata_sg_init_one() which caused
bug reports (but no problems).

In 2.6.8 the code for the BLKRRPART ioctl was changed
to return EIO when no partitions were found, such as
on an empty disk. This breaks some partitioning programs
and is also confusing: "Input/Output error" while in fact
nothing was wrong with this brand new all blank disk.

This restores old behaviour.

Self explanatory.. Based on a report on l/k

We recently found a problem that was causing memory corruption during
boot on IBM POWER5 machines.  The problem was that the if you have a
USB keyboard and it is set to the input device for the firmware, it
will still be active when the kernel is started.  That means that the
OHCI controller has pointers to various memory areas that it polls for
transfers to do.  When we start using that same memory in the kernel,
bad things can happen.  (This isn't a problem on powermacs because the
Apple OF implements a "quiesce" call which turns off all the devices
it is using.)

This patch fixes the problem by calling the Open Firmware "close"
method for the input device.  Stephen Rothwell and I have verified
that doing this fixes the problem on the POWER5 machine where we
observed it.  I verified that this patch doesn't cause any problems on
powermacs.

I think this patch should go into 2.6.10 since it fixes a nasty memory
corruption bug that can cause rather subtle and hard-to-diagnose
problems during boot.  (The symptom on the POWER5 machine with the
particular kernel that we were using was that reading /proc/net/tcp
would oops, due to one of the pointers in tcp_ehash being corrupted.)

There's a chance that the receive buffers are being consumed at the same
rate as they are being replenished in ibmveth_replenish_task()... 
Meanwhile, the calls to schedule_replenishing() from ibmveth_poll() won't
schedule another replenishing cycle (because the not_replenishing flag is
zero), starving the buffers and making the adapter unable to receive

Patch from Marc Singer

Add support for the LPD7a40x implementation of the SMC91x ethernet
controller. This patch exists to work around a mismatch between the
way the LH7a40x CPUs handle chip selects and what the ethernet
controller expects.

This patch has been revised to eliminate masking of interrupts.  The
concessions are that 

  a) the ISR must perform an IOBARRIER before the first access to the
     chip, just in case the interrupt occurred while the driver was
     writing to the chip
  b) other drivers that use the same chip select region as the SMC
     chip must perform a similar IOBARRIER at the top of their ISRs.

We have to load the bigkernel second TLB entry on
secondary processors before we move over the use
the kernel trap table.  Otherwise we can take a
TLB miss somewhere in the post-4MB area and the
TLB handler is not prepared to service that.

The case that usually occurs is the prom_set_trap_table
call made by trampoline.S, since p1275buf usually sits
very near the end of the kernel image.  It worked by
luck most of the time as long as p1275buf sits within
a single page since earlier code running in trampoline.S
forced that TLB entry to be loaded by the OBP TLB miss
handler.

This was not fun to figure out.
