      [PATCH] sanitize ->bios_param prototype · 496a57cb
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Currnetly the ->bios_param for host drivers exposes struct scsi_disk
      (aka Scsi_Disk or Disk) to each and every lowlevel driver, although
      this structure should be privated to the sd driver.
      
      All bios_param implementation do only use two fields:  .device and
      .capacity.  This patch passes down those two directly and gets
      rid of 99% of the sd.h inclusions (*).
      
      I've tried to not break any driver with this patch, but given the
      number of compiler errors in the current tree I might have missed
      one or two.
      
      (*) a bunch of drivers needed sd.h to get to scsi.h, I've fixed those.

      [PATCH] scsi sync caches w/ dev offline · 84a26cf5
      Mike Anderson authored
      When a scsi device is offlined and then the system is shutdown it will
      hang during the synchronizing SCSI caches task. The error handler was
      activated during this step, but post recovery the system did not
      complete the shutdown.
      
      This patch just adds a check for online before sending the command. The
      better approach appeared to be to use scsi_block_when_processing_errors,
      but I was concerned that we might block to long in a shutdown case.

      [PATCH] scsi_error device offline fix · 6532af8c
      Mike Anderson authored
      This patch corrects a problem in scsi error handling.
      
      When a device is offlined indicated by a message like ...Device offlined
      - not ready...
      
      the command return status was not being updated with a failure status if
      the IO was a timeout.
      
      I tested the patch on system with ips, aic, and qlogic fc adapters, but
      was unable to generate a satisfactory device offline test case.
      
      I did test this fix on uml with scsi_debug and generated a device
      offline condition with verified this fix was working correctly.

      Scsi Host setup.
      
      This caused the following errors on trying to compile.

      [PATCH] device removal · a49c4f6a
      Patrick Mochel authored
      The problem was that when the refcount hit 0, it was unconditionally
      assuming that it had been added, which is wrong.  The patch below
      corrects that, and fixes the Oops when loading the floppy driver.

      [PATCH] add linux/ioctl32.h header for 2.5.43 · 1a19232d
      Andi Kleen authored
      Several ports (x86-64,ppc64,sparc64) which do 32bit ioctl emulation
      have functions for drivers to let them define their own translation
      handlers. So far it was a bit complicated to use because there
      was no standard include file that declares the prototypes for this
      stuff. Then drivers and other subsystems can start to declare their own
      ioctl translation handlers.
      
      This patch add include/linux/ioctl32.h to fix this.
      
      The actual implementation is in arch specific code. It has been coordinated
      with DaveM and Anton.
      
      This patch is needed for the x86-64 merge I sent in separate mail.
      
      There is currently no preprocessor symbol that the drivers can test
      to see if they should use this. So far they have to check arch symbols.
      This will be fixed later when all 64bit ports that need it add the dynamic
      ioctl registration API too (that's ia64,s390x,mips64)

      It depends on one other patch (for linux/ioctl32.h) which I'm sending
      separately.
      
      Changes:
      - Include missing files (pageattr.c) and Makefile changes
      - Update IA32 subsystem. Various small fixes and a big merge
        with sparc64.

      [PATCH] RCU helper patchset 2/2 · a0b6c9c1
      Dipankar Sarma authored
      This adds a set of list macros that make handling of list protected
      by RCU simpler. The interfaces added are -
      
      list_add_rcu
      list_add_tail_rcu
      	- Adds an element by taking care of memory barrier (wmb()).
      
      list_del_rcu
      	- Deletes an element but doesn't re-initialize the pointers in
      	  the element for supporting RCU based traversal.
      
      list_for_each_rcu
      __list_for_each_rcu
      	- Traversal of RCU protected list - takes care of memory barriers
      	  transparently.

      [PATCH] RCU helper patchset 1/2 · 0ec69870
      Dipankar Sarma authored
      This first RCU helper patch adds a read_barrier_depends() primitive
      to all archs which is NOP for archs that doesn't require an rmb()
      for data dependent reads when writes are ordered using a wmb().
      In reality, only alpha requires an rmb(), the rest are NOPs.
      It is likely to be necessary in most situations that would use RCU.
      Please apply.
      
       Description :
      
      Sometime ago, during a discussion on lock-free lookups, it was
      agreed that an additional memory barrier interface,
      read_barrier_depends() that is lighter than an rmb(),
      is necessary to make sure that data-dependent reads are not
      re-ordered over this barrier. For many processors, data-dependency
      enforces order, so this interface is a NOP, but for those that don't
      (like alpha), it can be a rmb().
      
      For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
      value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
      
          CPU 0                           CPU 1
      
          b = 2;
          memory_barrier();
          p = &b;                         q = p;
                                          read_barrier_depends();
                                          d = *q;
      
      because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
      two reads should be separated by a read_barrier_depends().  However,
      the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
      
          CPU 0                           CPU 1
      
          a = 2;
          memory_barrier();
          b = 3;                          y = b;
                                          read_barrier_depends();
                                          x = a;
      
      does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
      the read of "a" and the read of "b".  Therefore, on some CPUs, such
      as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0.  rmb()
      needs to be used here, not read_barrier_depends().
