2006-08-17[BNX2]: Fix tx race condition.Michael Chan
Fix a subtle race condition between bnx2_start_xmit() and bnx2_tx_int() similar to the one in tg3 discovered by Herbert Xu: CPU0 CPU1 bnx2_start_xmit() if (tx_ring_full) { tx_lock bnx2_tx() if (!netif_queue_stopped) netif_stop_queue() if (!tx_ring_full) update_tx_ring netif_wake_queue() tx_unlock } Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in bnx2_tx_int() in program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening should be very rare though. The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix: 1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition. 2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit() when the ring is full. 3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling netif_wake_queue(). 4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail(). 5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size. 6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

Fix BUG I tripped on while testing failover and multipathing. BUG shows up on error path in multipath_ctr() when parse_priority_group() fails after returning at least once without error. The fix is to initialize m->ti early - just after alloc()ing it.

2006-08-09[PATCH] libata: clear sdev->locked on door lock failureTejun Heo
SCSI EH locks door if sdev->locked is set. Sometimes door lock command fails continuously (e.g. when medium is not present) and as libata uses EH to acquire sense data, this easily creates a loop where a failed lock door invokes EH and EH issues lock door on completion. This patch clears sdev->locked on door lock failure to break this loop. This problem has been spotted and diagnosed by Unicorn Chang <uchang@tw.ibm.com>.
