2007-01-12[PATCH] blktrace: only add a bounce trace when we really bounceJens Axboe
Currently we issue a bounce trace when __blk_queue_bounce() is called, but that merely means that the device has a lower dma mask than the higher pages in the system. The bio itself may still be lower pages. So move the bounce trace into __blk_queue_bounce(), when we know there will actually be page bouncing.

Setting .ConfigBase and .Present is now done at the pcmcia core. The driver cleanup missed a few places where the driver did set .Present to PRESENT_OPTION and later to the values from the CIS.

2007-01-11[PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()Trond Myklebust
NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

2007-01-11[PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinitGautham R Shenoy
Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up' This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are defined as __devinit AND __cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions. Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration, we get a .text refering .init.data warning. This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or are of __init type. Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would land up in .init section.

2007-01-11[PATCH] increment pos before looking for the next cap in __pci_find_next_ht_capBrice Goglin
While testing 2.6.20-rc3 on a machine with some CK804 chipsets, we noticed that quirk_nvidia_ck804_msi_ht_cap() was not detecting HT MSI capabilities anymore. It is actually caused by the MSI mapping on the root chipset being the 2nd HT capability in the chain. pci_find_ht_capability() does not seem to find anything but the first HT cap correctly, because it forgets to increment the position before looking for the next cap. The following patch seems to fix it. At least, this proves that having a ttl is good idea since the machine would have been stucked in an infinite loop if we didn't have a ttl :) We have to pass pos + PCI_CAP_LIST_NEXT to __pci_find_next_cap_ttl to get the next HT cap instead of the same one again.

2007-01-11[PATCH] sched: tasks cannot run on cpus onlined after bootNathan Lynch
Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are added to the system later. Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.

2007-01-11Don't put "linux_banner" in the .init sectionLinus Torvalds
It might save a few bytes after bootup, but it causes the string to be linked in at the end of the final vmlinux image, which defeats the whole point of doing all this, namely allowing some broken user-space binaries to search for the kernel version string in the kernel binary.

2007-01-11[PATCH] x86-64: - Ignore long SMI interrupts in clock calibrationJack Steiner
Ensure that no SMI interrupts occur between the read of the HPET & TSC in the clock calibration loop. I noticed that a 2.66GHz system incorrectly detected the processor clock speed about 1/7 of the time: time.c: Detected 2660.005 MHz processor. (most of the time) time.c: Detected 2988.203 MHz processor. (sometime) The problem is caused by an SMI interrupt occuring in hpet_calibrate_tsc() between the read of the HPET & TSC. Prior to switching the BIOS into ACPI mode, it appears that every 27msec an SMI interrupt occurs. The SMI interrupt takes 4.8 msec to process. Note: On my test system, TICK_MIN had to be >380. I picked 5000 to minimize risk of having a value that is too small for other platforms.

Console drivers might have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.

2007-01-11[PATCH] i386: make apic probe function non-initVivek Goyal
o struct genapic contains pointer to probe() function which is of type __init. Hence MODPOST generates warning if kernel is compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y for i386. WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_summit' (at offset 0xc058b504) and 'apic_bigsmp' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_bigsmp' (at offset 0xc058b5a4) and 'cpu.4471' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_es7000' (at offset 0xc058b644) and 'apic_default' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_default' (at offset 0xc058b6e4) and 'interrupt' o One of the possible options is to put special case check in MODPOST to not emit warnings for this case but I think it is not a very good option in terms of maintenance. o Another option is to make probe() function non __init. Anyway this function is really small so not freeing this memory after init is not a big deal. Secondly, from a programming perspective, probably genapic should not provide pointers to functions which have been freed as genapic is non __init and is used even after initialization is complete.

2007-01-11[PATCH] i386: cpu hotplug/smpboot misc MODPOST warning fixesVivek Goyal
o Misc smpboot/cpu hotplug path cleanups. I did those to supress the warnings generated by MODPOST. These warnings are visible only if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. o CONFIG_RELOCATABLE compiles the kernel with --emit-relocs option. This option retains relocation information in vmlinux file and MODPOST is quick to spit out "Section mismatch" warnings. o This patch fixes some of those warnings. Many of the functions in smpboot case are __devinit type and they in turn accesses text/data which if of type __cpuinit. Now if CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n then we end up in cases where a function in .text segment is calling another function in .init.text segment and MODPOST emits warning. WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:identify_cpu from .text between 'smp_store_cpu_info' (at offset 0xc011020d) and 'do_boot_cpu' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:init_gdt from .text between 'do_boot_cpu' (at offset 0xc01102ca) and '__cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:print_cpu_info from .text between 'do_boot_cpu' (at offset 0xc01105d0) and '__cpu_up' o It also fixes the issues where CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and start_secondary() is calling smp_callin() which in-turn calls synchronize_tsc_ap() which is of type __init. This should have meant broken CPU hotplug.

2007-01-11[PATCH] x86-64: Make noirqdebug_setup function non init to fix modpost warningVivek Goyal
o noirqdebug_setup() is __init but it is being called by quirk_intel_irqbalance() which if of type __devinit. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y, quirk_intel_irqbalance() is put into text section and it is wrong to call a function in __init section. o MODPOST flags this on i386 if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:noirqdebug_setup from .text between 'quirk_intel_irqbalance' (at offset 0xc010969e) and 'i8237A_suspend' o Make noirqdebug_setup() non-init.
