2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: floppy.c irq release fixIngo Molnar
The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma resources from interrupt context. The initial solution was to use schedule_work() to push this into process context, but this caused further problems: for example the current floppy driver in -mm2 is totally broken and all floppy commands time out with an error. (as reported by Barry K. Nathan) This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic IRQ and DMA allocation/freeing. I doubt it made much sense back in the heydays of floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then we didnt handle those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes near zero sense. So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing: allocate IRQ and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at module removal time. Dont try to release while the driver is operational. This, besides making the floppy driver functional again has an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are finally persistent and visible in /proc/interrupts: 6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off timeouts, etc. - and everything seems to be working fine.

Hugh Dickins explains: "It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs mounted on /tst): j=0 cp /dev/zero /tst while : do let j=j+1 echo "Doing pass $j" losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1 mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt umount /mnt losetup -d /dev/loop0 done it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).

2006-06-23[PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not calledConstantine Sapuntzakis
While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop device was returning total garbage. It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call. The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL, which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer. This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in loop_set_fd. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-06-17[NET]: Clean up skb_linearizeHerbert Xu
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Various scsi drivers use scsi_cmnd.buffer and scsi_cmnd.bufflen in their queuecommand functions. Those fields are internal storage for the midlayer only and are used to restore the original payload after request_buffer and request_bufflen have been overwritten for EH.

2006-05-20[SCSI] fix (unlikely) memory leak in DAC960 driverJesper Juhl
The Coverity checker found a memory leak (bug nr. 1245) in drivers/block/DAC960.c::DAC960_V2_ProcessCompletedCommand() The leak is pretty unlikely since it requires that the first of two successive kmalloc() calls fail while the second one succeeds. But it can still happen even if it's unlikely. If the first call that allocates 'PhysicalDeviceInfo' fails but the one that allocates 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' succeeds, then we will leak the memory allocated to 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' when the variable goes out of scope. A simple fix for this is to change the existing code that frees 'PhysicalDeviceInfo' if that one was allocated but 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' was not, into a check for either pointer being NULL and if so just free both. This is safe since kfree() can deal with being passed a NULL pointer and it avoids the leak. While I was there I also removed the casts of the kmalloc() return value since it's pointless. I also updated the driver version since this patch changes the workings of the code (however slightly). This issue could probably be fixed a lot more elegantly, but the code is a big mess IMHO and I just took the least intrusive route to a fix that I could find instead of starting on a cleanup as well (that can come later).

2006-05-08[PATCH] USB: ub oops in block_ueventPete Zaitcev
In kernel 2.6.16, if a mounted storage device is removed, an oops happens because ub supplies an interface device (and kobject) to the block layer, but neglects to pin it. And apparently, the block layer expects its users to pin device structures. The code in ub was broken this way for years. But the bug was exposed only by 2.6.16 when it started to call block_uevent on close, which traverses device structures (kobjects actually).

2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc: Use check_legacy_ioport() on ppc32 too.David Woodhouse
Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042. This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation even on 32-bit kernels. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
