The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc8 in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential deadlock in several places. In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential circular locking cases can't take place by the time the ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask real problems, we need to address this. This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode(). Instead, we take a different approach to resolve the software lockup that commit 2581fdc8 intends to fix. Rather than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock. This should speed up work queue processing in general and also prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault, shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait() that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock. Signed-off-by: Jiaying Zhang <jiayingz@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This fixes a regression introduced by commit cdcb725c ("Btrfs: check if there is enough space for balancing smarter"). We can't do 64-bit divides on 32-bit architectures. In cases where we need to divide/multiply by 2 we should just left/right shift respectively, and in cases where theres N number of devices use do_div. Also make the counters u64 to match up with rw_devices.

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.
