Previously, ibmebus derived a device's bus_id from its location code. The location code is not guaranteed to be unique, so we might get bus_id collisions if two devices share the same location code. The OFDT full_name, however, is unique, so we use that instead (truncating it on the left if it is too long).

On PS3, A storage device may show up in the repository before the hypervisor has finished probing: - If its type is not yet known, it shows up as PS3_DEV_TYPE_STOR_DUMMY, - If its regions are being probed, it shows up as having zero regions. If any of these happen, consider the device not yet present. The storage probe thread will retry later. This fixes the timing-dependent problem where a kernel booted from FLASH ROM sometimes cannot find the hard disk.

At present, running any SPE program on the ps3 will trigger a BUG_ON when spufs_run_spu tries to clear the master run control bit, as lv1 does not make the master run control available to Linux. This change makes SPE apps work again by disabling changes to the master run control on PS3. Although we don't have the facility to disable a SPE with supervisor-level privileges, it's better than hitting the BUG_ON unconditionally.

The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt is edge-triggered. The current spu interrupt handler assumes this behavior and does not clear the interrupt status. The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not been cleared. This fix clears the interrupt status in the interrupt handler.

Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected mode jump. This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this. My fix is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under Xen HVM again.

I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to this commit: commit 6fe6900e Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700 mm: make read_cache_page synchronous Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page without any callers. Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction well enough to say. [It's fine. dwmw2.] Signed-off-by: Jason Lunz <lunz@falooley.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

Ryusuke Konishi says: The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(), ^^^^^^ static void truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page) { ... cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at kernel 2.6.20 if (PagePrivate(page)) do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call a_ops->invalidatepage() ... } and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending request (=nfs_page) associated with the page. int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how) { ... if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) { ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc); if (ret < 0) goto out; } ... } Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree. ------------------------ Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated with them.

(there are other problems running a generic kernel on Ski) 2. fixes the `console registered twice' problem. 3.

This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters). The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if that search fails. Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use. On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs. Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but that is not the case right now.
