2007-05-18revert "cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()"Oleg Nesterov
As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() commit: 071b638689464c6b39407025eedd810d5b5e6f5d was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that. From the changelog: after this patch: ... delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress. The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV, it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this work_struct.

2007-05-17Revert "[PATCH] x86: Drop cc-options call for all options supported in gcc 3.2+"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit c8fdd247255a3a027cd9f66dcf93e6847d1d2f85. It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc bug. The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2" is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64 will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to generate 32-bit code.

2007-05-17e1000: Fix msi enable leak on error, don't print error message, cleanupAuke Kok
pci_enable_msi failure is a normal event so we should not print any error. Going over the code I spotted a missing pci_disable_msi() leak when irq allocation fails. The whole code also needed a cleanup, so I combined the two different calls to pci_request_irq into a single call making this look a lot better. All #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_MSI's have been removed.

2007-05-17gianfar: Add I/O barriers when touching buffer descriptor ownership.Scott Wood
The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer, it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final state. Thus, I/O barriers are added where required. Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb. Hardware reordering was also theoretically possible. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-05-17ibm_emac: improved PHY supportEugene Surovegin
Original patch is from Jeff Haran <jharan@brocade.com> with my minor style fixes. His comments follow: The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4), followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843) the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set (bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear before doing the modify/write. The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.

2007-05-17NS16550A: Restore HS settings in EXCR2 on resumeDavid Woodhouse
After a suspend/resume cycle, the UART may have been reset into low-speed mode -- either because it's actually been reset, or because the firmware pokes at the old-style divisor registers. If we detected it as a NS16550A SuperIO chip in the first place and set baud_base to 921600, then we should do so again in the resume path. This patch adds that code to serial8250_resume_port(), and also makes serial8250_resume() actually call serial8250_resume_port() for each port instead of just calling uart_resume_port() directly. And thus fixes serial port operation after suspend/resume. It also fixes a bogus comment where we write the EXCR2 register with a comment saying /* EXCR1 */ Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-05-17Fix page allocation flags in grow_dev_page()Christoph Lameter
grow_dev_page() simply passes GFP_NOFS to find_or_create_page. This means the allocation of radix tree nodes is done with GFP_NOFS and the allocation of a new page is done using GFP_NOFS. The mapping has a flags field that contains the necessary allocation flags for the page cache allocation. These need to be consulted in order to get DMA and HIGHMEM allocations etc right. And yes a blockdev could be allowing Highmem allocations if its a ramdisk.

2007-05-17Slab allocators: define common size limitationsChristoph Lameter
Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB. So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations. For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past) Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support. CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it. It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.
