      ext4: flush any pending end_io requests before DIO reads w/dioread_nolock · dccaf33f
      Jiaying Zhang authored
      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.

      drm/i915: set GFX_MODE to pre-Ivybridge default value even on Ivybridge · b095cd0a
      Jesse Barnes authored
      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.

          cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs.
      
      Apparently this is caused by lack metadata preemption, where ext3/ext4
      do use READ_META. I didn't see a way to fix the issue, so suggest
      reverting the patch.

      ALSA: usb-audio - Fix missing mixer dB information · 38b65190
      Takashi Iwai authored
      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.

      I'm not particularly familiar with sparc but t_nmi (defined in head_32.S via
      the TRAP_ENTRY macro) and pcic_nmi_trap_patch (defined in entry.S) both appear
      to be 4 instructions long and I presume from the usage that instructions are
      int sized.

      drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c: add missing kfree · a081da63
      Julia Lawall authored
      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.
      
      A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as

      ata: Add iMX pata support · e39c75cf
      Arnaud Patard (Rtp) authored
      Add basic support for pata on iMX. It has been tested only on imx51.
      SDMA support will probably be added later so this version supports only
      PIO.
      
      v2:
        - enable only when needed IORDY
        - use dev_get_drvdata
      v3:
        - add missing clk_put() calls
        - use platform_get_irq()
        - fix resume code to avoid disabling IORDY on resume
      v4:
        - Remove EXPERIMENTAL and switch to depends on ARCH_MXC
        - Use devm_kzalloc()
        - make clock a must-have
        - Use only 1 ioremap

      Tejun Heo authored
      On AVERATEC 3200, pata_via causes memory corruption with ATAPI DMA,
      which often leads to random kernel oops.  The cause of the problem is
      not well understood yet and only small subset of machines using the
      controller seem affected.  Blacklist ATAPI DMA on the machine.

      This is not a 'can never happen' but is nonetheless extremely unlikely.
      The easiest and cleanest warning fix is simply to init the var,
