2007-06-12sysfs: store sysfs inode nrs in s_ino to avoid readdir oopsesEric Sandeen
Backport of ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number. But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed. Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't guaranteed today anyway.

2007-06-11[MIPS] Fix KMODE for the R3000Maciej W. Rozycki
This must be the oldest bug that we have got. Leaving interrupts "as they are" for the R3000 obviously means copying IEp to IEc. Since we have got STATMASK now, I took this opportunity to mask the status register "correctly" for the R3000 now too. Oh, and the R3000 hardly ever is 64-bit. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2007-06-11libata: limit post SRST nsect/lbal wait to ~100msTejun Heo
After SRST, libata used to wait for nsect/lbal to be set to 1/1 for the slave device. However, some ATAPI devices don't set nsect/lbal after SRST and the wait itself isn't too useful as we're gonna wait for !BSY right after that anyway. Before reset-seq update, nsect/lbal wait failure used to be ignored and caused 30sec delay during detection. After reset-seq, all timeouts are considered error conditions making libata fail to detect such ATAPI devices. This patch limits nsect/lbal wait to around 100ms. This should give acceptable behavior to such ATAPI devices while not disturbing the heavily used code path too much.

2007-06-09libata-core/sff: Fix multiple assumptions about DMAAlan Cox
The ata IRQ ack functions are only used when debugging. Unfortunately almost every controller that calls them can cause crashes in some configurations as there are missing checks for bmdma presence. In addition ata_port_start insists of installing DMA buffers and pad buffers for controllers regardless. The SFF controllers actually need to make that decision dynamically at controller setup time and all need the same helper - so we add ata_sff_port_start. Future patches will switch the SFF drivers to use this. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-06-09libata: fix probe time irq printoutsOlof Johansson
Most drivers don't seem to fill out the host->irq field, resulting in the wrong (no) irq being reported at probe time.

2007-06-08hexdump: more output formattingRandy Dunlap
Add a prefix string parameter. Callers are responsible for any string length/alignment that they want to see in the output. I.e., callers should pad strings to achieve alignment if they want that. Add rowsize parameter. This is the number of raw data bytes to be printed per line. Must be 16 or 32. Add a groupsize parameter. This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers. Default is 1-byte numbers. If the total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are printed. Add an "ascii" output parameter. This causes ASCII data output following the hex data output. Clean up some doc examples. Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call. Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.

2007-06-08fix sysrq-m oopsBob Picco
We aren't sampling for holes in memory. Thus we encounter a section hole with empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem. This issue has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm. The patch below is for mainline and mm. It was boot tested for SPARSEMEM, current VMEMMAP of Andy's in mm ml and DISCONTIGMEM. A slightly different patch will be posted to stable for 2.6.21. Previous to commit f0a5a58aa812b31fd9f197c4ba48245942364eae memory_present was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn. This would cover the hole(s) with reserved pages and valid sections. Most SPARSEMEM supported arches do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure address. This issue was brought to my attention on IRC by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. Thanks to Arnaldo for testing.
