2005-10-18[PATCH] sundance: expand reset maskJohn W. Linville
Expand the mask used when reseting the chip to include the GlobalReset bit. This fix comes from ICPlus and seems to be required for some cards. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-18[PATCH] sundance: remove if (1) { ... } block in sundance_probe1John W. Linville
Remove an if (1) { ... } block in sundance_probe1. Its purpose seems to be only to allow for delaring some extra local variables. But, it also adds ugly indentation without adding any meaning to the code. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

2005-10-18[PATCH] b44: alternate allocation option for DMA descriptorsJohn W. Linville
This is a (final?) hack to support the odd DMA allocation requirements of the b44 hardware. The b44 hardware has a 30-bit DMA mask. On x86, anything less than a 32-bit DMA mask forces allocations into the 16MB GFP_DMA range. The memory there is somewhat limited, often resulting in an inability to initialize the b44 driver. This hack uses streaming DMA allocation APIs in order to provide an alternative in case the GFP_DMA allocation fails. It is somewhat ugly, but not much worse than the similar existing hacks to support SKB allocations in the same driver. FWIW, I have received positive feedback on this from several Fedora users.

2005-10-18[PATCH] via-rhine: change mdelay to msleep and remove from ISR pathJohn W. Linville
Get rid of the mdelay call in rhine_disable_linkmon. The function is called from the via-rhine versions of mdio_read and mdio_write. Those functions are indirectly called from rhine_check_media and rhine_tx_timeout, both of which can be called in interrupt context. So, create tx_timeout_task and check_media_task as instances of struct work_struct inside of rhine_private. Then, change rhine_tx_timeout to invoke schedule_work for tx_timeout_task (i.e. rhine_tx_timeout_task), moving the work to process context. Also, change rhine_error (invoked from rhine_interrupt) to invoke schedule_work for check_media_task (i.e. rhine_check_media_task), which simply calls rhine_check media in process context. Finally, add a call to flush_scheduled_work in rhine_close to avoid any resource conflicts with pending work items. Signed-off-by: John W.

2005-10-18[PATCH] rcu in bpqether driver.Ralf Baechle
From Suzanne Wood <suzannew@cs.pdx.edu>: Clarify RCU implementation in bpqether.c. Because bpq_new_device() calls list_add_rcu() and bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu(), substitute list_for_each_entry_rcu() for list_for_each_entry() in bpq_get_ax25_dev() and in bpq_seq_start(). Add rcu dereference protection in bpq_seq_next(). The rcu_read_lock()/unlock() in bpq_device_event() are removed because netdev event handlers are called with RTNL locking in place. FYI: bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu() which, per list.h, requires synchronize_rcu() which can block or call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh() which cannot block. Herbert Xu notes that synchronization is done here by unregister_netdevice(). This calls synchronize_net() which in turn uses synchronize_rcu().

2005-10-18[PATCH] S2io: Offline diagnostics fixesravinandan.arakali@neterion.com
This patch fixes the following bugs with offline diagnostics code(run with "ethtool -t"). 1. After running offline diagnostics, adapter would report corrupted packets on receive. This was because of adapter not being brought out of "RLDRAM test mode". 2. Current EEPROM test works only for Xframe I. Since Xframe II uses different interface(SPI), support for this interface has been added. Also, since SPI supports write access to all areas of EEPROM, negative testing is done only for Xframe I. 3. Return values from subfunctions of offline diagnostics have been corrected. 4. In register test, expected value from rx_queue_cfg register is made to depend on adapter type. 5. After the test, need to restore values at EEPROM offsets 0x4F0 and 0x7F0. These locations were modified as part of test. 6. Use macro SPECIAL_REG_WRITE for write access to mc_rldram_test_ctrl register. Also, couple of unnecessary writes to mc_rldram_test_ctrl have been removed.

2005-10-17[PATCH] aio: revert lock_kiocb()Zach Brown
lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation. In the process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding the ctx_lock spinlock. Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent retries won't be attempted for a given iocb. Cancel has other problems and has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it. So for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will address proper cancellation and retry serialization in the future.

2005-10-17[PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devicesChristian Krause
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of Highspeed HID devices in the kernel. What happened? Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are received by the kernel. The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB transfer are polled by the host). After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason. In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in driver/usb/input/hid-core.c: line 1669: /* handle potential highspeed HID correctly */ interval = endpoint->bInterval; if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH) interval = 1 << (interval - 1); Basically this calculation is correct (refer to USB 2.0 spec, 9.6.6). This new calculated value of "interval" is used as input for usb_fill_int_urb: line 1685: usb_fill_int_urb(hid->urbin, dev, pipe, hid->inbuf, 0, hid_irq_in, hid, interval); Unfortunately the same calculation as above is done a second time in usb_fill_int_urb in the file include/linux/usb.h: line 933: if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH) urb->interval = 1 << (interval - 1); else urb->interval = interval; This means, that if the endpoint descriptor (of a high speed device) specifies e.g. bInterval = 7, the urb->interval gets the value: hid-core.c: interval = 1 << (7-1) = 0x40 = 64 urb->interval = 1 << (interval -1) = 1 << (63) = integer overflow Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is rejected in core/urb.c: line 353: /* too small? */ if (urb->interval <= 0) return -EINVAL; The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is simply wrong. ;-) Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from hid-core.c. Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed re-calculation in this file.

The fix attached was tested in 2 ways: (a) it fixed failing initialization of a flash drive with an embedded hub; (b) the fix was tested with 'usbtest' against a modified g_zero driver (on top of net2280), which generated short bulk IN transfers of various lengths including multiples and non-multiples of max_packet_length.

2005-10-17[PATCH] SVGATextMode fixSamuel Thibault
Fix bug 5441. I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ? Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles separately... The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to _expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode. A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined and svgatextmode be patched.

2005-10-17[PATCH] list: add missing rcu_dereference on first elementHerbert Xu
It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier on the very first dereference. For example, #define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \ for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \ pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)) It will go something like: pos = (head)->next prefetch(pos->next) pos != (head) do stuff We're missing a barrier here. pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next) fetch pos->next barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next) store pos Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale. In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break. So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first element in the list. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: "Paul E.

2005-10-16[PATCH]: highest_possible_processor_id() has to be a macroAl Viro
... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break badly. They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h *AFTER* having included cpumask.h. If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will get the right thing used. As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect anything.
