2007-03-05[PATCH] video/aty/mach64_ct.c: fix bogus delay loopDavid Miller
CT based mach64 cards were reported to hang on sparc64 boxes when compiled with gcc-4.1.x and later. Looking at this piece of code, it's no surprise. A critical delay was implemented as an empty for() loop, and gcc 4.0.x and previous did not optimize it away, so we did get a delay. But gcc-4.1.x and later can optimize it away, and we get crashes. Use a real udelay() to fix this. Fix verified on SunBlade100. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-03-05[PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)john stultz
This patch resolves the issue found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426 The basic summary is: Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case), where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to the small sampling time used. It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init time. Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall). This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own boxes.

2007-03-05[PATCH] md: fix for raid6 reshapeNeilBrown
Recent patch for raid6 reshape had a change missing that showed up in subsequent review. Many places in the raid5 code used "conf->raid_disks-1" to mean "number of data disks". With raid6 that had to be changed to "conf->raid_disk - conf->max_degraded" or similar. One place was missed. This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the recorded position would be wrong. On restart it would either fail (as the position wasn't on an appropriate boundary) or would leave a section of the array unreshaped, causing data corruption.

2007-03-05[PATCH] fb: sm501fb off-by-1 sysfs storePaul Mundt
Currently sm501fb_crtsrc_store() won't allow the routing to be changed via echos from userspace in to the sysfs file. The reason for this is that the strnicmp() for both heads uses a sizeof() for the string length, which ends up being strlen() + 1 (\0 in the normal case, but the echo gives a newline, which is where the issue occurs), this then causes a mismatch and subsequently bails with the -EINVAL. In addition to this, the hardcoded lengths were then used for the store length that was returned, which ended up being erroneous and resulting in a write error. There's also no point in returning anything but the full length since it will -EINVAL out on a mismatch well before then anyways. sizeof("string") is great for making sure you have space in your buffer, but rather less so for string comparisons :-) Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Acked-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Cc: "Antonino A.

2007-03-05[PATCH] add CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIODavid Brownell
Most drivers using GPIOs already know they are running on a system that supports the generic GPIO calls, because of other platform dependencies. But the generic GPIO-based LED and input button drivers can't know that. So this patch adds a Kconfig hook, GENERIC_GPIO, to mark the platforms where <asm/gpio.h> will do the right thing. Currently that's a bunch of ARMs, and AVR32; more are on the way. It also fixes a dependency bug for the gpio button input driver; it was wrong to start with, now it covers all platforms with GENERIC_GPIO.

2007-03-05[PATCH] Fix soft lockup with iSeries viocd driverTony Breeds
Fix soft lockup with iSeries viocd driver, caused by eventually calling end_that_request_first() with nr_bytes 0. Some versions of hald do an SG_IO ioctl on the viocd device which becomes a request with hard_nr_sectors and hard_cur_sectors set to zero. Passing zero as the number of sectors to end_request() (which calls end_that_request_first()) causes an infinite loop when the bio is being freed. This patch makes sure that the zero is never passed. It only requires some number larger the the request size the terminate the loop. The lockup is triggered by hald, interrogating the device.

2007-03-05[PATCH] msi: support masking msi irqs without a mask bitEric W. Biederman
For devices that do not support msi-x we only support 1 interrupt. Therefore we can disable that one interrupt by disabling the msi capability itself. If we leave the intx interrupts disabled while we have the msi capability disabled no interrupts should be delivered from that device. Devices with just the minimal msi support (and thus hitting this code path) include things like the intel e1000 nic, so it looks like is going to be a fairly common case and thus important to get right.

2007-03-05[PATCH] msi: fix up the msi enable/disable logicEric W. Biederman
enable/disable_msi_mode have several side effects which keeps them from being generally useful. So this patch replaces them with with two much more targeted functions: msi_set_enable and msix_set_enable. This patch makes pci_dev->msi_enabled and pci_dev->msix_enabled the definitive way to test if linux has enabled the msi capability, and has the appropriate msi data structures set up. This patch ensures that while writing the msi messages in save/restore and during device initialization we have the msi capability disabled so we don't get into races. The pci spec requires that we do not have the msi capability enabled and the msi messages unmasked while we write the messages. Completely disabling the capability is overkill but it is easy :) Care has been taken so we never have both a msi capability and intx enabled simultaneously. We haven't run into a problem yet but better safe then sorry. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-03-05[PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disablingEric W. Biederman
In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the hardware does not have an msi capability enabled. Currently the code has been calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that. However disable_msi_mode has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is compiled in so it isn't really appropriate. Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects. pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and clearing the msi enable bit. A device that is not allowed to perform bus mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering. So the call in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant. quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-03-04KVM: Per-vcpu inodesAvi Kivity
Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following benefits: - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on every ioctl() - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived from the fd used to make the call Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects.
