* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md: md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices. md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device. md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up.
2009-02-06md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.NeilBrown
Each different metadata format supported by md supports a different maximum number of devices. We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but we aren't quite doing that properly. We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an older interface which is not used by current userspace. We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array. So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'. This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-02-06md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device.Andre Noll
ab5bd5cbc8d4b868378d062eed3d4240930fbb86 introduced the following bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines: which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of the array. Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index. The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough, effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong device. As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464 Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

2009-02-06md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up.NeilBrown
If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever) rather than failing the whole array. However the codes doesn't quite do that. We attempt a readbalance which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. Instead: If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-02-05sgi-xp: fix writing past the end of kzalloc()'d spaceDean Nelson
A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d memory segment resulting in slab corruption. But it seems like the better solution is to define ->recv_msg_slots as a 'void *' rather than a 'struct xpc_notify_mq_msg_uv *' and add the type cast.

2009-02-05fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex heldAndrea Righi
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem ioctl(). fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a deadlock. NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel close routine. Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory cleared of references to freed dma buffer.

2009-02-02libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My BookTejun Heo
3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures. It's usually okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission failures and after it only power cycling can revive them. Combined with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender, this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain configurations virtually rendering them unusable. This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified.

2009-02-02libata: improve probe failure handlingTejun Heo
When link is flaky at high speed, it isn't uncommon for a device to repeatedly fail probing sequence early after successfully negotiating high link speed. This often leads to consecutive hotplug events without successful probing. This patch improves libata EH such that it remembers probing trials and if there have been more than two unsuccessful trials in the past 60 seconds, slows down link speed to 1.5Gbps. As link speed negotiation is the duty of the PHY layer proper, the goal of this fallback mechanism is to provide the last resort when everything else fails, which unfortunately happens not too infrequently, so no fancy 6->3->1.5 speeding down or highest successful transmission speed seen kind of logics (yet).

2009-02-02libata: add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit()Tejun Heo
Add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit() so that the caller can specify the SPD limit it wants. This parameter doesn't get in the way even when it's too low. The closest possible limit is applied. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-02-02libata: clear dev->ering in smarter wayTejun Heo
dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs. dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch achieves this by doing the following. * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head. * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection of the next one.

2009-02-02libata: check onlineness before using SPD in sata_down_spd_limit()Tejun Heo
sata_down_spd_limit() should check whether the link is online before using the SPD value to determine how to limit the link speed. Factor out onlineness test and test it from sata_down_spd_limit(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-02-02libata: move ata_dev_disable() to libata-eh.cTejun Heo
ata_dev_disable() is about to be more tightly integrated into EH logic. Move it to libata-eh.c. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-02-02libata: fix EH device failure handlingTejun Heo
The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always zero. This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs. This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA devices.

2009-02-02sata_nv: ck804 has borked hardreset tooTejun Heo
While playing with nvraid, I found out that rmmoding and insmoding often trigger hardreset failure on the first port (the second one was always okay). Seriously, how diverse can you get with hardreset behaviors? Anyways, make ck804 use noclassify variant too. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2009-02-02ahci: add a module parameter to ignore the SSS flags for async scanningArjan van de Ven
The SSS flag, which directs the OS to spin up one disk at a time to not have the PSU blow out, sometimes gets set even when not needed. The effect of this is a longer-than-needed boot time. This patch adds a module parameter that makes the driver ignore SSS at least as far as the parallel scan during boot is concerned...
