In a rare and all-but-unused path, the EHCI driver could reuse a variable
in a way that'd make trouble. Specifically, if the first root hub port
gets an overcurrent event (rare) during a remote wakeup scenario (all but
unused in today's Linux, except for folk working with suspend-to-RAM and
similar sleep states), that would look like a fatal error which would shut
down the controller. Fix by not reusing that variable.

This patch limits the amount of outstanding 'write' data that can be
queued up for the ftdi_sio driver, to prevent userspace DoS attacks (or
simple accidents) that use up all the system memory by writing lots of
data to the serial port.
The original patch was by Guillaume Autran, who in turn based it on the
same mechanism implemented in the 'visor' driver. I (Ian Abbott)
re-targeted the patch to the latest sources, fixed a couple of errors,
renamed his new structure members, and updated the implementations of
the 'write_room' and 'chars_in_buffer' methods to take account of the
number of outstanding 'write' bytes. It seems to work fine, though at
low baud rates it is still possible to queue up an amount of data that
takes an age to shift (a job for another day!).

The anti user-DoS mechanism in the USB serial 'visor' driver can fail in
the following way:
visor_open: priv->outstanding_urbs = 0
visor_write: ++priv->outstanding_urbs
visor_close:
visor_open: priv->outstanding_urbs = 0
visor_write_bulk_callback: --priv->outstanding_urbs
So priv->outstanding_urbs ends up as (unsigned long)(-1). Not good!
I haven't seen this happen with the visor driver as I don't have the
hardware, but I have seen it while testing a patch to implement the same
functionality in the ftdi_sio driver (patch not yet submitted).
The fix is pretty simple: don't reinitialize outstanding_urbs in
visor_open. (Again, I haven't tested the fix in visor, but I have
tested it in ftdi_sio.)

My recent patch converting usb-storage to use

This patch (as722) fixes the problem by explicitly checking for an early

This is a new driver for the Cypress CY7C63xxx mirco controller series.
It currently supports the pre-programmed CYC63001A-PC by AK Modul-Bus
GmbH. It's based on a kernel 2.4 driver (cyport) by Marcus Maul which I
ported to kernel 2.6 using sysfs. I intend to support more controllers
of this family (and more features) as soon as I get hold of the required
IDs etc. Please see the source code's header for more information.

I received an DBAU1200 eval kit from AMD a few days ago and tried to
enable the USB2 port, but the current linux-2.6 GIT did not even
compile with CONFIG_SOC_1200, CONFIG_SOC_AU1X00, CONFIG_USB_EHCI and
CONFIG_USB_OHCI set.
Furthermore, in ehci-hcd.c, platform_driver_register() was called with
an improper argument of type 'struct device_driver *' which of course
ended up in a kernel oops. How could that ever have worked on your
machines?
Anyway, here's a trivial patch that makes the USB subsystem working
on my board for both OHCI and EHCI.
It also removes the /* FIXME use "struct platform_driver" */.

Prior to 2.6.18rc1 you could install with devices on a JMicron chipset
using the "all-generic-ide" option. As of this kernel the AHCI driver
grabs the controller and rams it into AHCI mode losing the PATA ports
and making CD drives and the like vanish. The all-generic-ide option
fails because the AHCI driver grabbed the PCI device and reconfigured
it.
To fix this three things are needed.
#1 We must put the chip into dual function mode
#2 The AHCI driver must grab only function 0 (already in your rc1 tree)
#3 Something must grab the PATA ports
The attached patch is the minimal risk edition of this. It puts the chip
into dual function mode so that AHCI will grab the SATA ports without
losing the PATA ports. To keep the risk as low as possible the third
patch adds the PCI identifiers for the PATA port and the FN check to the
ide-generic driver. There is a more featured jmicron driver on its way
but that adds risk and the ide-generic support is sufficient to install
and run a system.
The actual chip setup done by the quirk is the precise setup recommended
by the vendor.
(The JMB368 appears only in the ide-generic entry as it has no AHCI so
does not need the quirk)

This is confirmed to fix a hang due to PCI resource conflicts with
setting up the Cardbus bridge on old laptops with the 440MX chipsets.
Original report by Alessio Sangalli, lspci debugging help by Pekka
Enberg, and trial patch suggested by Daniel Ritz:
"From the docs available i would _guess_ this thing is really similar
to the 82443BX/82371AB combination. at least the SMBus base address
register is hidden at the very same place (32bit at 0x90 in function
3 of the "south" brigde)"
The dang thing is largely undocumented, but the patch was corroborated
by Asit Mallick:
"I am trying to find the register information. 440MX is an integration of
440BX north-bridge without AGP and PIIX4E (82371EB). PIIX4 quirk
should cover the ACPI and SMBus related I/O registers."
and verified to fix the problem by Alessio.

1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
unsolicited CRWs).

The module parameters for xpram are not or in a wrong way parsed.
The xpram module uses the module_param_array directive with an int
parameter which causes the kernel to automatically parse the passed
numbers. This will cause errors if arguments are omitted or cause
wrong results if arguments have size qualifiers.
Use module_param_array with charp and parse the arguments later.

Currently the snsc driver uses force_sig to send init a SIGPWR when the
system overheats. This patch switches it to kill_proc instead which has
the following advantages:
(1) gets rid of one of the last remaining tasklist_lock users
in modular code
(2) simplifies the snsc code significantly
The downside is that an init implementation could in theory block SIGPWR
and it would not get delivered. The sysvinit code used by all major
distributions doesn't do this and blocking this signal in init would be a
rather stupid thing to do.

Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
>= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
address:
static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
{
size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
So that's not much help either.
This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface,
but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in
2.6.17.
With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface
had some good constructive feedback. PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major
set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch. Instead
of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the
pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch. A future patch will
enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info.
The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and
attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the
memory and PCI operations.
The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state
of EDAC operation.
