I have an external SATA drive that was slowed down by bridge limits. I
found a solution in a thread on this list posted in 2008: It introduces
whitelist entries in libata-core.c for devices with well working bridges
(e.g. email on Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:45:27 -0400).

I added my device to this whitelist in a custom built kernel and it
works fine for weeks now. How can I have this device added on the
whitelist within the official kernel? Is this whitelist mechanism still
supported or is there a smarter way to achieve whitelisting?

I added the following whitelist entry for my Buffalo DriveStation

The mainboard MSI E350DM-E33 is advertised with 6 SATA ports.
As it turns out, two of them seem to be driven by on-board
SATA<->PATA converters. If a disk drive is connected to one
of them kernel uses UDMA/33 mode due to cable detection:

This patch forces "short cable" mode on this board, as it seems clear that
the on-board SATA<->PATA "cable" is short.
With this patch the disk is configured for UDMA/100:

Following a report of a crash during an automount expire I found that
the locking in fs/autofs4/expire.c:get_next_positive_subdir() was wrong.
Not only is the locking wrong but the function is more complex than it
needs to be.

The function is meant to calculate (and dget) the next entry in the list
of directories contained in the root of an autofs mount point (an autofs
indirect mount to be precise). The main problem was that the d_lock of
the owner of the list was not being taken when walking the list, which
lead to list corruption under load. The only other lock that needs to
be taken is against the next dentry candidate so it can be checked for
usability.

Otherwise we still have another gmbus regression (patches are awaiting

seems to be a timing-related issue and can be mitigated by frobbing the

On a 2-node machine with 256GB of ram we get 512 lines of

This mimicks Yinghai Lu's x86 commit c2b91e2e
(x86_64/mm: check and print vmemmap allocation continuous) except that
we aren't ever going to get contiguous block pointers in between calls
so just print when the virtual address or node changes.

This decreases the output by an order of 16.

When invalidating the TLBs it is documentated as requiring a post-sync
write. Failure to do so seems to result in a GPU hang.

Exposure to this hang on IVB seems to be a result of removing the extra
stalls required for SNB pipecontrol workarounds:

eDP is tons of fun. It turns out that at least the new MacBook Air 5,1
model absolutely doesn't like the new force vdd dance we've introduced
in

commit 6cb49835
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date:   Sun May 20 17:14:50 2012 +0200

    drm/i915: enable vdd when switching off the eDP panel

But that patch also tried to fix some neat edp sequence issue with the
force_vdd timings. Closer inspection reveals that we've raised
force_vdd only to do the aux channel communication dp_sink_dpms. If we
move the edp_panel_off below that, we don't need any force_vdd for the
disable sequence, which makes the Air happy.

Unfortunately the reporter of the original bug that the above commit
fixed is travelling, so we can't test whether this regresses things.
But my theory is that since we don't check for any power-off ->
force_vdd-on delays in edp_panel_vdd_on, this was the actual
root-cause of this failure. With that force_vdd dance completely
eliminated, I'm hopeful the original bug stays fixed, too.

For reference the old bug, which hopefully doesn't get broken by this:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43163

In any case, regression fixers win over plain bugfixes, so this needs
to go in asap.

v2: The crucial pieces seems to be to clear the force_vdd flag
uncoditionally, too, in edp_panel_off. Looks like this is left behind
by the firmware somehow.

v3: The Apple firmware seems to switch off the panel on it's own, hence
we still need to keep force_vdd on, but properly clear it when switching
the panel off.

i2c_add_adapter() may do i2c transfers on the bus to detect supported
devices. Therefore the adapter needs to be all set before adding it. This
was not the case for the bit-banging fallback, resulting in an oops if the
device detection GMBUS transfers timed out. Fix the issue by calling
i2c_add_adapter() only after intel_gpio_setup().
