The bug is we're not able to remove the device from blkio cgroup's per-device control files if it gets unplugged. To reproduce the bug: # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup # cd /cgroup # echo "8:0 1000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device # unplug the device # cat blkio.throttle.read_bps_device 8:0 1000 # echo "8:0 0" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device -bash: echo: write error: No such device After patching, the device removal will succeed.

In __blk_complete_request, we check both QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP and req->cpu to decide whether we should use req->cpu. Actually the user can also select the complete cpu by either setting BIO_CPU_AFFINE or by calling bio_set_completion_cpu. Current solution makes these 2 ways don't work any more. So we'd better just check req->cpu. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

bdi_forker_thread() clears BDI_pending bit at the end of the main loop. However clearing of this bit must not be done in some cases which is handled by calling 'continue' from switch statement. That's kind of unusual construct and without a good reason so change the function into more intuitive code flow.

Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced a little bit. The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change will make that more easier.

When do block-attach/block-detach test with below steps, umount hangs in the guest. Furthermore shutdown ends up being stuck when umounting file-systems. 1. start guest. 2. attach new block device by xm block-attach in Dom0. 3. mount new disk in guest. 4. execute xm block-detach to detach the block device in dom0 until timeout 5. Any request to the disk will hung. Root cause: This issue is caused when setting backend device's state to 'XenbusStateClosing', which sends to the frontend the XenbusStateClosing notification. When frontend receives the notification it tries to release the disk in blkfront_closing(), but at that moment the disk is still in use by guest, so frontend refuses to close. Specifically it sets the disk state to XenbusStateClosing and sends the notification to backend - when backend receives the event, it disconnects the vbd from real device, and sets the vbd device state to XenbusStateClosing. The backend disconnects the real device/file, and any IO requests to the disk in guest will end up in ether, leaving disk DEAD and set to XenbusStateClosing. When the guest wants to disconnect the disk, umount will hang on blkif_release()->xlvbd_release_gendisk() as it is unable to send any IO to the disk, which prevents clean system shutdown. Solution: Don't disconnect backend until frontend state switched to XenbusStateClosed.

Currently HD-audio driver shows the all error ELD byte as an error in the kernel message. This is annoying when the video driver doesn't set the correct ELD from the beginning. e.g. radeon sends a zero-byte data, but we still check ELD with the fixed 128 byte as a workaround for some broken devices, it spews 128-times errors. For avoiding this, the driver aborts reading when the first byte is invalid. In such a case, the whole data is certainly invalid. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock. If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return zero instead of the recently written data. This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race. Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

Prior to Ivybridge, the GFX_MODE would default to 0x800, meaning that MI_FLUSH would flush the TLBs in addition to the rest of the caches indicated in the MI_FLUSH command. However starting with Ivybridge, the register defaults to 0x2800 out of reset, meaning that to invalidate the TLB we need to use PIPE_CONTROL. Since we're not doing that yet, go back to the old default so things work. v2: don't forget to actually *clear* the new bit Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Tested-by: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

The recent fix for testing dB range at the mixer creation time seems to cause regressions in some devices. In such devices, reading the dB info at probing time gives an error, thus both dBmin and dBmax are still zero, and TLV flag isn't set although the later read of dB info succeeds. This patch adds a workaround for such a case by assuming that the later read will succeed. In future, a similar test should be performed in a case where a wrong dB range is seen even in the later read. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org>

Currently, error handling code in this function calls the function sata_dwc_port_stop, but this function has essentially no effect if hsdevp has not been stored in ap, which is the case throughout this function. The only effect is to print a debugging message including ap->print_id. The code is rewritten to not call sata_dwc_port_stop, but instead to jump to a local label that prints the original error message and the print_id information. In the case where hsdevp has been already allocated (but not yet stored in ap), this value is freed as well.
