2009-09-01libata: add command name parsing for error outputRobert Hancock
This patch improve libata's output for error/notification messages to allow easier comprehension and debugging: When ATAPI commands issued through the SCSI layer fail, use SCSI functions to print the CDB in human-readable form instead of just dumping out the CDB in hex. Print out the name of the failed command (as defined by the ATA specification) in error handling output along with the raw register contents. When reporting status of ACPI taskfile commands executed on resume, also output the names of the commands being executed (or not) in readable form. Since the extra data for printing command names increases kernel size slightly, a config option has been added to allow disabling command name output (as well as some of the error register parsing) for those highly sensitive to kernel text size.

2009-09-01libata: clear eh_info on reset completionTejun Heo
Resets are done with port frozen but some controllers still issue interrupts during reset and they may end up recording error conditions in ehi leading to unnecessary EH retrials. This patch makes ata_eh_reset() clear ehi on reset completion. As reset is the most severe recovery action, there's nothing to lose by clearing ehi on its completion.

2009-09-01[libata] EH: freeze port before aborting commandsJeff Garzik
Call the ->freeze() hook before aborting qc's, because some hardware requires special handling prior to accessing the taskfile registers (for diagnosis/analysis/reset).

2009-08-31ata_piix: parallel scanning on PATA needs an extra lockingBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Commit log for commit 517d3cc15b36392e518abab6bacbb72089658313 ("[libata] ata_piix: Enable parallel scan") says: This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver. This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems). The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used for testing (eeepc). Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe to do for this driver. Alan has also checked with the hardware team. and it is all true but once we put all things together additional constraints for PATA controllers show up (some hardware registers have per-host not per-port atomicity) and we risk misprogramming the controller. I used the following test to check whether the issue is real: @@ -736,8 +736,20 @@ static void piix_set_piomode(struct ata_ (timings[pio][1] << 8); } pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data); - if (is_slave) + if (is_slave) { + if (ap->port_no == 0) { + u8 tmp = slave_data; + + while (slave_data == tmp) { + pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &tmp); + msleep(50); + } + + dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "PATA parallel scan " + "race detected\n"); + } pci_write_config_byte(dev, slave_port, slave_data); + } /* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if UDMA is selected */ and it indeed triggered the error message. Lets fix all such races by adding an extra locking to ->set_piomode and ->set_dmamode methods for PATA controllers.

2009-08-29drm/i915: Fix CPU-spinning hangs related to fence usage by using an LRU.Eric Anholt
The lack of a proper LRU was partially worked around by taking the fence from the object containing the oldest seqno. But if there are multiple objects inactive, then they don't have seqnos and the first fence reg among them would be chosen. If you were trying to copy data between two mappings, this could result in each page fault stealing the fence from the other argument, and your application hanging. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23566 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23220 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23253 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23366 Cc: Stable Team <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Reviewed-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

2009-08-27inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.Eric W. Biederman
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0' byte to user space after the filename. Since the rewrite that terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of event_size. Ouch! So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the strange nul_inotify_event. I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to do.
