2007-02-09libata: PIIX3 supportAlan
This I believe completes the PIIX range of support for libata This adds the table entries needed for the PIIX3, both a new PCI identifier and a new mode list. It also fixes an erroneous access to PCI configuration 0x48 on non UDMA capable chips. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-09sata_promise: handle ATAPI_NODATA ourselvesMikael Pettersson
This patch extends sata_promise to handle ATAPI_NODATA commands internally. However, commands destined to ATA_DFLAG_CDB_INTR devices are excluded from this and continue to be returned to libata. Concrete changes: - pdc_atapi_dma_pkt() is renamed to pdc_atapi_pkt(), and is extended to set up correct headers for NODATA packets - pdc_qc_prep() calls pdc_atapi_pkt() for ATAPI_NODATA - pdc_host_intr() handles ATAPI_NODATA - pdc_qc_issue_prot() sends ATAPI_NODATA packets via the chip's packet mechanism, except for CDB_INTR devices Tested on first- and second-generation chips, SATAPI and PATAPI, with no observable regressions.

2007-02-09sata_promise: issue ATAPI commands as normal packetsMikael Pettersson
This patch (against libata #upstream + the ATAPI cleanup patch) reimplements sata_promise's ATAPI support to format ATAPI DMA commands as normal packets, and to issue them via the hardware's normal packet machinery. It turns out that the only reason for issuing ATAPI DMA commands via the pdc_issue_atapi_pkt_cmd() procedure was to perform two interrupt-fiddling steps for ATA_DFLAG_CDB_INTR devices. But these steps aren't needed because sata_promise sets ATA_FLAG_PIO_POLLING, which disables DMA for those devices. The remaining steps can easily be done in ATA taskfile packets. Concrete changes: - pdc_atapi_dma_pkt() is extended to program all packet setup steps, and not just contain the CDB; the sequence of steps exactly mirrors what pdc_issue_atapi_pkt_cmd() did - pdc_atapi_dma_pkt() needed more parameters: simplify it by just passing 'qc' and having it extract the data it needs - pdc_issue_atai_pkt_cmd() and its two helper procedures pdc_wait_for_drq() and pdc_wait_on_busy() are removed Tested on first- and second-generation chips, SATAPI and PATAPI, with no observable regressions.

2007-02-09libata: kill qc->nsect and cursectTejun Heo
libata used two separate sets of variables to record request size and current offset for ATA and ATAPI. This is confusing and fragile. This patch replaces qc->nsect/cursect with qc->nbytes/curbytes and kills them. Also, ata_pio_sector() is updated to use bytes for qc->cursg_ofs instead of sectors.

2007-02-09sata_promise: ATAPI supportMikael Pettersson
This patch adds ATAPI support to the sata_promise driver. This has been tested on both first- and second-generation chips (20378 and 20575), and with both SATAPI and PATAPI devices. CD-writing works. SATAPI DMA works on second-generation chips, but on first-generation chips SATAPI is limited to PIO due to what appears to be HW limitations. PATAPI DMA works on both first- and second-generation chips, but requires the separate PATA support patch before it can be used on TX2plus chips. The functional changes to the driver are: - remove ATA_FLAG_NO_ATAPI from PDC_COMMON_FLAGS - add ->check_atapi_dma() operation to enable DMA for bulk data transfers but force PIO for other ATAPI commands; this filter is from Promise's driver and largely matches pata_pdc207x.c - use a more restrictive ->check_atapi_dma() on first-generation chips to force SATAPI to always use PIO - add handling of ATAPI protocols to pdc_qc_prep(), pdc_host_intr(), and pdc_qc_issue_prot(): ATAPI_DMA is handled by the driver while non-DMA protocols are handed over to libata generic code - add pdc_issue_atapi_pkt_cmd() to handle the initial steps in issuing ATAPI DMA commands before sending the actual CDB; this procedure was ported from Promise's driver Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-09sata_promise: TX2plus PATA supportMikael Pettersson
This patch implements a simple way of setting up per-port flags on the SATA+PATA Promise TX2plus chips, which is a prerequisite for supporting the PATA port on those chips. It is based on the observation that ap->flags isn't really used until after ->port_start() has been invoked. So it places the "exceptional" per-port flags array in the driver's private host structure, and uses it in ->port_start() to finalise the port's flags.

2007-02-09[PATCH] uclinux: correctly remap bin_fmtflat exe allocated mem regionsGreg Ungerer
remap() the region we get from mmap() to mark the fact that we are using all of the available slack space. Any slack space is used to form a simple brk region, and potentially more stack space than requested at load time. Any searches of the vma chain may well fail looking for stack (and especially arg) addresses if the remaping is not done. The simplest example is /proc/<pid>/cmdline, since the args are pretty much always at the top of the data/bss/stack region.

2007-02-09[PATCH] md: avoid possible BUG_ON in md bitmap handlingNeil Brown
md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear the bit (when count hits zero). The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we cannot cope. Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue limits much smaller than this. However is seems that some don't. Apparently some multipath configurations can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests. So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait for the count to drop down a bit. This requires a new wait_queue_head, some waiting code, and a wakeup call. Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower in that case...).

2007-02-09[PATCH] knfsd: fix a race in closing NFSd connectionsNeilBrown
If you lose this race, it can iput a socket inode twice and you get a BUG in fs/inode.c When I added the option for user-space to close a socket, I added some cruft to svc_delete_socket so that I could call that function when closing a socket per user-space request. This was the wrong thing to do. I should have just set SK_CLOSE and let normal mechanisms do the work. Not only wrong, but buggy. The locking is all wrong and it openned up a race where-by a socket could be closed twice. So this patch: Introduces svc_close_socket which sets SK_CLOSE then either leave the close up to a thread, or calls svc_delete_socket if it can get SK_BUSY. Adds a bias to sk_busy which is removed when SK_DEAD is set, This avoid races around shutting down the socket. Changes several 'spin_lock' to 'spin_lock_bh' where the _bh was missing.

2007-02-09[PATCH] md: fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5Neil Brown
It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying device. So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will fail and confuse RAID5. So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests. Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath us. Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has not been tested and was badly broken. This patch fixes that code.

2007-02-09[PATCH] hugetlb: preserve hugetlb pte dirty stateKen Chen
__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on application. Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately.
