* Add an extra argument to ide_max_dma_mode() for passing requested transfer mode. Use it as an upper limit when finding the best DMA for device/host. * Rename ide_max_dma_mode() to ide_find_dma_mode() and at the same time add ide_max_dma_mode() wrapper which passes XFER_UDMA_6 as a requested mode to ide_find_dma_mode(). Also add inline ide_find_dma_mode() version for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=n case. * Pass requested transfer mode from ide_find_dma_mode() to ide_get_mode_mask() to avoid false warning from eighty_ninty_three(). * Use ide_find_dma_mode() to limit the user requested transfer mode in ide_rate_filter(). Also limit the requested mode by host max PIO mode. Above changes make ide_rate_filter() to: * Clip desired transfer mode down if it is invalid (values 0x0F, 0x13-0x19 and 0x25-0x39, values > 0x46 were already clipped down, same for values 0x25-0x39 but iff UDMA was not supported by the host). * Clip desired transfer mode down if it is currently unsupported by IDE core (PIO6 and MWDMA3-4, the latter were already clipped down but iff UDMA was not supported by the host). * Clip desired transfer mode down according to the host capabilities (UDMA modes were already clipped down but MWDMA/SWDMA/PIO weren't, also ->atapi_dma flag was not respected). * Clip desired transfer mode down according to the device capabilities (except PIO modes for now which require mode work) - shouldn't be a problem since ide_set_xfer_rate() is called _after_ device has accepted given transfer mode. and also result in a number of host driver specific bugfixes: * icside - clip unsupported PIO5 mode down - fix unsupported/invalid modes being set in drive->current_speed * ide-cris - clip unsupported PIO5 and SWDMA0-2 modes down - clip DMA modes down for ATAPI devices - fix BUG() on unsupported/invalid modes * au1xxx-ide - clip unsupported PIO5, SWDMA0-2 and MWDMA0-2 (if BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA=n) modes down * aec62xx - clip unsupported PIO5 and SWDMA0-2 modes down - clip DMA modes down for ATAPI devices - fix 0x00 being programmed as PIO timing for unsupported/invalid modes - fix unsupported/invalid modes being set on the device * alim15x3 - clip DMA modes down for ATAPI devices (chipset revision == 0x20 only) - fix theoretical OOPS for 0x0F mode - fix unsupported/invalid modes being set on the device * amd74xx - clip unsupported SWDMA0-2 (on COBRA_7401 revs <= 7) modes down - fix random PIO timings being set for unsupported/invalid modes - fix unsupported/invalid modes being set on the device * atiixp - clip unsupported PIO5 and SWDMA0-2 modes down -

PATA part of all current JMB controllers behave the same way and JMicron confirms that all future ones will stay compatible. Matching vendor and device class is enough. For backward compatibility, jmicron still needs to match 361,3,5,6,8 DIDs regardless of device class if libata is not configured but won't need further DID update from this point.

Switch to using pci_get_slot() in init_setup_pdc20270() to get to the mate chip behind DC21150 bridge as there's no need for the driver itself to walk the list of the PCI devices (and the driver didn't check the bus # of the found device). While at it, make it emit warning about IRQ # being fixed up (just like hpt366.c does) and "beautify" this whole function as well as init_setup_pdc20276()...

ACPI spec defines the sequence of IDE power on/off: Powering down: Call _GTM. Power down drive (calls _PS3 method and turns off power planes). Powering up: Power up drive (calls _PS0 method if present and turns on power planes). Call _STM passing info from _GTM (possibly modified), with ID data from each drive. Initialize the channel. May modify the results of _GTF. For each drive: Call _GTF. Execute task file (possibly modified). This patch adds the missed _PS0/_PS3 methods call.

This is now very similar to pata_platform.c, they both use same platform data structure and same resources. To achieve that, byte_lanes_swapping platform data variable and platform specified iops removed from that driver. It's fine, since those were never used anyway. pata_platform and ide_platform are carrying same driver names, to easily switch between these drivers, without need to touch platform code.

The Marvell bridge chips used on HighPoint SATA cards do not seem to support the MWDMA modes (at least that could be seen in their so-called drivers :-), so the driver needs to account for this -- to achieve this: - add mdma_filter() method from the original patch by Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz with his consent; - install the method for all chips to only return empty mask if a SATA drive is detected on HPT372{AN]/374 chips...

SB700 supports one physical IDE channel, but SB700 SATA controller supports combined mode. When the SATA combined mode is enabled, two SATA ports (port4 and port5) share one IDE channel from IDE controller, and PATA will share the other IDE channel. Our previous patch adding SB700 IDE device ID only supports one IDE channel, which contains bug. The attached patch fixes the bug.

This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all. This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were working anyway for most people got forgotten. [Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.] Cc: Giuseppe Patanè <giuseppe.patane@tvblob.com> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John Crispin <blogic@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@telecomint.eu> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the page is already found dirty. This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm). Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in ndisc_redirect_rcv(): if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 8.1: - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's implied. This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore. The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux passes all 245 tests now.

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0 or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to 0, whatever RevisionID is. Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition. It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to be enabled for this processor/system. Same for Longhaul ver. 2 support. It will be disabled if none of above options will work. Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled): longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected.

When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt accurate. Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration). The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide. So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick. Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR, so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return EINTR. This can help with X startup issues: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers installed). Keithp has a patch for that. Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
