On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.
So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.
I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And
it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

In the cleanups of drivers/rtc/s3c-rtc.c, the base address for the
registers got broken. This patch fixes that by ensuring the readb/writeb
are all prefixed with the base returned from ioremap()ing the registers.
Also fix check for valid year range, which was the wrong way around.

The existing unusual_devs entry for the UCR-61S2B appears to have too
wide a revision range. It matches at least one device that doesn't
respond to the initialization sequence. Perhaps the sequence needs to
be updated, or perhaps something else can be done. For now, this patch
(as764) restricts the range to include only the revision mentioned in
the original comment.
This resolves (for now!) Bugzilla entry #6950.

Here is a patch against the CPCI hotplug core to fix up PCI resource
assignment such that things will actually work when a hot inserted
device is enabled. I mentioned this patch to you way back in April at
ELC, but am only now out from under things enough to clean it up and
submit it. I've basically cribbed the corresponding code from
shpchp_pci.c, so there are no big surprises. If it's still possible, I
wouldn't mind this going into 2.6.18, but it wouldn't be the end of the
world if it went into 2.6.19.

- add the ICH6(R) LPC to the ICH6 ACPI quirks. currently only the ICH6-M
is handled. [ PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_1 is the ICH6-M LPC, ICH6_0 is
the ICH6(R) ]
- remove the wrong quirk calling asus_hides_smbus_lpc() for ICH6. the
register modified in asus_hides_smbus_lpc() has a different meaning in
ICH6.

This patch contains 2 sets of fixes for the abituguru:
1) Much improved timeout handling, drasticly reducing the amount of
timeout errors on some motherboards
2) Fix the exit paths in the bank1 sensor type detect code to always
restore the original settings even on an error. Without this our
special test settings could remain seriously confusing the system
BIOS's setup menu.
Both are very much related and are must haves, to avoid messing up the
uguru CMOS settings.
Detailed changes:
- Much improved timeout / wait for status handling. Many thanks to Sunil
Kumar, for all his testing, ideas and patches! The code now first busy
waits, polling the uguru for the expected status as this usually
succeeds pretty quickly (within 90 reads). To avoid unnecessary CPU burn
in timeout conditions, the amount of busy waiting has been halved from
previous versions (120 tries instead of 250). This is not a problem,
because this version goes to sleep after 120 attemps for 1 jiffy and
then tries again, it does this sleep and try again 5 times before
finally giving up. This (almost?) completly removes the timeout errors
some people have seen regulary. Apparently some older uguru versions
sometimes are distracted for a (relatively) long time. This solves this.
- These timeout errors not only occur in the sending address part of
reading the uguru but also in the wait for read state, so errors in
this state are now handled as retryable just like send address state
errors and are only logged and reported to userspace if 3 executive
tries fail.
- Fix a very nasty bug in the bank1 sensor type detection code, where it
would not restore the original settings in any of the error paths!
- Since not successfully restoring the original settings can seriously
confuse the system BIOS (hang when entering the relevant setup menu),
we now try restoring them 3 times before giving up.

The tps65010.c driver in the main tree never got updated with
build fixes since the last batch of I2C driver changes; and the
genirq trigger flags were updated wierdly too.
This also includes a minor tweak to reduce the frequency used to
poll for unplug-the-AC-power on the TPS chips that don't provide
relevant IRQs. It _would_ be nice to sense whether there's even
a battery, but that'd normally be an HDQ/1-wire interface to a
smart battery, and such APIs aren't standardized.

The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer,
and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to
the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up
copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi
command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun
things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with
data and scatterlists.
This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of
scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd
can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this
fixes a regression added when we removed some of the scsi_cmnd
fields and replaced them with local variables.

Original code attempts to retry PLOGIs to fcports that are
FCP_TARGETs only. If the driver never performed a successful
PLOGI/PRLI, the port-type would never be assigned, and the
relogin logic would silently drop the request (and thus the port
would not be recognized and registered).
The fix is relatively straightforward, drop the FCP_TARGET-only
check.

There have been a number of reports regarding some ICH5s failing to
detect devices since the PCS handling update. Analysis shows that
these problems are caused by bogus PCS values from those controllers.
Before the PCS update, the driver didn't honor PCS regs exactly and
probed them in many cases PCS reports no device. Now that PCS is
honored exactly, these hardware problems are visible.
This patch makes ICH5 ignore PCS.

while playing with gcc 4.1 -Wextra warnings, I came across this one:
drivers/net/3c515.c:1027: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true
Since i is unsigned the >= 0 check in the for loop is always true,
so we might spin there forever unless the if condition triggers.
Since i is only used in this loop, this patch changes it to
an integer.

This fixes yet another sunsab problem, when console is set to anything
but the first port. The console framework calls sunsab_console_setup
for each port, and we end up setting up a console on a not yet
discovered port, which leads to an Oops. Instead, defer console setup
until the requested port is properly initialized. Tested on an E250
through an RSC console.

Move out PCS handling from piix_sata_prereset() into
piix_sata_present_mask() and use it from newly implemented
piix_sata_softreset(). Class codes for devices which are indicated to
be absent by PCS are cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE. This fixes ghost device
problem reported on ICH6 and 7.
This patch moves PCS handling from prereset to softreset, which makes
two behavior changes.
* perform softreset even when PCS indicates no device
* PCS handling is repeated before retrying softresets due to reset
failures.
Both behavior changes are intended and more consistent with how other
drivers behave.
