commit e4f925e1 Author: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Date: Wed Mar 17 14:18:41 2010 +0100 drbd: Do not upgrade state to Outdated if already Inconsistent prevented the necessary state transition for attaching while connected (Diskless -> Consistent respectively Outdated).

There was a race condition: In a situation with a SyncSource+Primary and a SyncTarget+Secondary node, and a resync dependency to some other device. After both nodes decided to do the resync, the other device finishes its resync process. At that time SyncSource already sent the P_SYNC_UUID packet, and already updated its peer disk state to Inconsistent. The SyncTarget node waits for the P_SYNC_UUID and sends a state packet to report the resync dependency change. That packet still carries a disk state of Outdated. Impact: If application writes come in, during that time on the Primary node, those do not get replicated, and the out-of-sync counter gets increased. => The completion of resync is not detected on the primary node. => stalled. Those blocks get resync'ed with the next resync, since the are get marked as out-of-sync in the bitmap. In order to fix this, we filter out that wrong state change in the sanitize_state() function.

Filesystems with delalloc support may dirty inode during writepages. As result inode will have dirty metadata flags even after write_inode. In fact we have two dedicated functions for proper data and metadata writeback. It is reasonable to separate flags updates in two stages. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15906Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Jens Axboe authored
When umount calls sync_filesystem(), we first do a WB_SYNC_NONE writeback to kick off writeback of pending dirty inodes, then follow that up with a WB_SYNC_ALL to wait for it. Since umount already holds the sb s_umount mutex, WB_SYNC_NONE ends up doing nothing and all writeback happens as WB_SYNC_ALL. This can greatly slow down umount, since WB_SYNC_ALL writeback is a data integrity operation and thus a bigger hammer than simple WB_SYNC_NONE. For barrier aware file systems it's a lot slower.

Prior to 2.6.32, setting /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs disabled periodic dirty writeback from kupdate. This got broken and now causes excessive sys CPU usage if set to zero, as we'll keep beating on schedule().

blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc). Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node. Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces. Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be registered with sysfs. Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry. These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more precision. In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a full request_queue (elevator et al). It only does so for a request-based DM device. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

If dentry found stale happens to be a root of disconnected tree, we can't d_drop() it; its d_hash is actually part of s_anon and d_drop() would simply hide it from shrink_dcache_for_umount(), leading to all sorts of fun, including busy inodes on umount and oopsen after that. Bug had been there since at least 2006 (commit c636eb already has it), so it's definitely -stable fodder.

ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has been computing Address Spaces as [_MIN to _MIN + _LEN - 1]. Based on the tests in the bug reports below, Windows apparently uses [_MIN to _MAX]. Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles those exceptions the same way as Windows. This patch makes Linux use [_MIN to _MAX], as Windows seems to do. This effectively reverts d558b483 and 03db42ad and replaces them with simpler code. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14337 (round) https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480 (truncate) Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community. Summary of the changes: 1. Improved error handling. 2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg(). The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs). This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts (i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic. The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31. This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3 like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0 (for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later. This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface. Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c. A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface. Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

Autosuspend works until you bring the wwan interface up, then the device does not enter autosuspend anymore. The following patch fixes the problem by setting the .manage_power field in the mbm_info struct to the same as in the cdc_info struct (cdc_manager_power).
