Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe. Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually hit the disk. Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still wrong. Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely to actually hit the optimized case in the first place). I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

Commit f63fd7e2 ("parport_pc: detection for SuperIO IT87XX POST") only released the IO port region on success, not when the probe for the IT87XX chip failed. That caused not only a reserved region to leak, but also caused an oops when the driver module was unloaded and somebody tried to cat /proc/ioports - because the string that was assigned to the IO port region was a static string in the module virtual address area.

ATAPI DMA just doesn't work reliably on pata_ali. The IDE driver can do it but for some mysterious reason, pata_ali can't. This patch disables it by default and makes the driver whine during initialization. "pata_ali.atapi_dma" parameter is added so that user can bypass the workaround.

This avoids using wrmsr on MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR when it's not needed. No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping. Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid. I also corrected some bad whitespace.

The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure. But nowadays it uses splice, usually going through __generic_file_splice_read. That must use mapping_gfp_mask instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid those hangs.

This gets the FEC ethernet driver working again on the lite5200 platform. The FEC driver is also compatible with the MPC5200, not only with the MPC5200B, so this adds a suitable entry to the driver's match list. Furthermore this adds the settings for the PHY in the dts file for the Lite5200. Note, that this is not exactly the same as in the Lite5200B, because the PHY is located at f0003000:01 for the 5200, and at :00 for the 5200B. This was tested on a Lite5200 and a Lite5200B, both booted a kernel via tftp and mounted the root via nfs successfully.

Handling of the proc_dir_entry->count was changed in 2.6.24-rc5. After this change, the default value for pde->count is 1 and not 0 as before. Therefore, if we want to check whether our procfs file is already opened (already in use), we have to check if pde->count is greater than 2 rather than 1.

hash_page_sync() takes and releases the low level mmu hash lock in order to sync with other processors disposing of page tables. Because that lock can be needed to service hash misses triggered by interrupt handlers, taking it must be done with interrupts off. However, hash_page_sync() appears to be called with interrupts enabled, thus causing occasional deadlocks. We fix it by making sure hash_page_sync() masks interrupts while holding the lock.

A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently. On this platform, we must not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable) except for short periods of time. Taking an interrupt while soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example. The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths. Thus local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries. However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared, including on iSeries. A call to it was recently added to the context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick in under some circumstances and other nasty things. This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable MSR:EE on iSeries. It basically removes a return statement here to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else. That does mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts but I don't think that matters. Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons to hard-disable. Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it was mostly unused.

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives. Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style : a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed. The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached. However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished, hence the race. The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the scheduler). The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Paul E.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine. This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following: # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile The kernel version is not supported. The created dumpfile may be incomplete. _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node. makedumpfile Failed. # The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data. If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly. To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: "Eric W.

Fixes the keyspan driver after the addition of additional checking of driver requirements introduced in usb-serial.c commit 063a2da8. The initialization of the keyspan usb_serial_driver structs were not initializing the num_interrupt_out field and the additional checking was rejecting the end point so the driver wouldn't finish initializing. This commit initializes the fields to NUM_DONT_CARE. It works for the keyspan USA-49WG and doesn't break the USA-19HS which are the two keyspan devices I have to test with.

Fixes a bug/inconsistency revealed by the additional sanity checking in commit 063a2da8 introduced in the original 2.6.24 branch. The Handspring Visor / PalmOS 4 device structure defines .num_bulk_out=2 but the usb-serial probe returns num_bulk_out=3, triggering the check in the above commit and forcing a bail out when the device (a Garmin iQue in my case) attempts to connect. The patch bumps the expected number of endpoints to 3.
