2006-07-10[PATCH] release_firmware() fixesMagnus Damm
Use release_firmware() to free requested resources. According to Documentation/firmware_class/README the request_firmware() call should be followed by a release_firmware(). Some drivers do not however free the firmware previously allocated with request_firmware(). This patch tries to fix this by making sure that release_firmware() is used as expected.

2006-07-10[PATCH] don't select CONFIG_HOTPLUGAndrew Morton
It's useful to be able to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG for compile-coverage testing and for section-checking coverage. But a few things go and select CONFIG_HOTPLUG, making it a royal PITA to turn the thing off. It's only turnable offable if CONFIG_EMBEDDED anyway. So let's make those things depend on HOTPLUG, not select it.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: reimplement controller-wide PMTejun Heo
Reimplement controller-wide PM. ata_host_set_suspend/resume() are defined to suspend and resume a host_set. While suspended, EHs for all ports in the host_set are pegged using ATA_FLAG_SUSPENDED and frozen. Because SCSI device hotplug is done asynchronously against the rest of libata EH and the same mutex is used when adding new device, suspend cannot wait for hotplug to complete. So, if SCSI device hotplug is in progress, suspend fails with -EBUSY. In most cases, host_set resume is followed by device resume. As each resume operation requires a reset, a single host_set-wide resume operation may result in multiple resets. To avoid this, resume waits upto 1 second giving PM to request resume for devices.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: reimplement per-dev PMTejun Heo
Reimplement per-dev PM. The original implementation directly put the device into suspended mode and didn't synchronize w/ EH operations including hotplug. This patch reimplements ata_scsi_device_suspend() and ata_scsi_device_resume() such that they request EH to perform the respective operations. Both functions synchronize with hotplug such that it doesn't operate on detached devices. Suspend waits for completion but resume just issues request and returns. This allows parallel wake up of devices and thus speeds up system resume. Due to sdev detach synchronization, it's not feasible to separate out EH requesting from sdev handling; thus, ata_device_suspend/resume() are removed and everything is implemented in the respective libata-scsi functions.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: implement PM EH actionsTejun Heo
Implement two PM per-dev EH actions - ATA_EH_SUSPEND and ATA_EH_RESUME. Each action puts the target device into suspended mode and resumes from it respectively. Once a device is put to suspended mode, no EH operations other than RESUME is allowed on the device. The device will stay suspended till it gets resumed and thus reset and revalidated. To implement this, a new device state helper - ata_dev_ready() - is implemented and used in EH action implementations to make them operate only on attached & running devices. If all possible devices on a port are suspended, reset is skipped too. This prevents spurious events including hotplug events from disrupting suspended devices.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: implement ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY and QUIETTejun Heo
Implement ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY and QUIET. These used to be implied by ATA_PFLAG_LOADING, but new power management and PMP support need to use these separately. e.g. Suspend/resume operations shouldn't print full EH messages and resume shouldn't be recorded as an error.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: clean up debounce parameters and improve parameter selectionTejun Heo
The names of predefined debounce timing parameters didn't exactly match their usages. Rename to more generic names and implement param selection helper sata_ehc_deb_timing() which uses EHI_HOTPLUGGED to select params. Combined with the previous EHI_RESUME_LINK differentiation, this makes parameter selection accurate. e.g. user scan resumes link but normal deb param is used instead of hotplug param.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: implement ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINKTejun Heo
Implement ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK, which indicates that the link needs to be resumed. This used to be implied by ATA_EHI_HOTPLUGGED. However, hotplug isn't the only event which requires link resume and separating this out allows other places to request link resume. This differentiation also allows better debounce timing selection.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: replace ap_lock w/ ap->lock in ata_scsi_error()Tejun Heo
ap_lock was used because &ap->host_set->lock was too long and used a lot. Now that &ap->host_set->lock is replaced with ap->lock, there's no reason to keep ap_lock. [ed. note: that's not entirely true. ap_lock is a local variable, caching the results of a de-ref. In theory, if the compiler is smart enough, this patch is cosmetic. However, since this is not a fast path (it is the error path), this patch is nonetheless acceptable, even though it _may_ introduce a performance regression.] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

So netpoll_send_skb takes the _xmit_lock, which is all nitty gritty but then rtl8139_start_xmit comes around while that lock is taken, and does spin_unlock_irq(&tp->lock); which.. enables interrupts and softirqs; this is quite bad because the xmit lock is taken in softirq context for the watchdog like this: [<c1200376>] _spin_lock+0x23/0x32 [<c11af282>] dev_watchdog+0x14/0xb1 [<c101dab2>] run_timer_softirq+0xf2/0x14a [<c101a691>] __do_softirq+0x55/0xb0 [<c1004a8d>] do_softirq+0x58/0xbd Which would deadlock now that the spin_unlock_irq() has enabled irqs/softirqs while the _xmit_lock is still held.

While legal in theory, in practice it should only be done if the hardware is really old and has some very high overhead in its ISR. (such as PIO IDE) For modern hardware, running ISRs with irqs enabled is discouraged, because 1) new hardware is fast enough to not cause latency problems 2) allowing the nesting of hardware interrupts only 'spreads out' the handling of the current ISR, causing extra cachemisses that would otherwise not happen. Furthermore, on architectures where ISRs share the kernel stacks, enabling interrupts in ISRs introduces a much higher kernel-stack-nesting and thus kernel-stack-overflow risk. 3) not managing irq-flags via the _irqsave / _irqrestore variants is dangerous: it's easy to forget whether one function nests inside another, and irq flags might be mismanaged. In the few cases where re-enabling interrupts in an ISR is considered useful (and unavoidable), it has to be taught to the lock validator explicitly (because the lock validator needs the "no ISR ever enables hardirqs" artificial simplification to keep the IRQ/softirq locking dependencies manageable). This teaching is done via the explicit use local_irq_enable_in_hardirq(). On a stock kernel this maps to local_irq_enable(). If the lock validator is enabled then this does not enable interrupts. Now, the analysis of drivers/net/ns83820.c's irq flags use: the irq-enabling in irq context seems intentional, but i dont think it's justified. Furthermore, the driver suffers from problem #3 above too, in ns83820_tx_timeout() it disables irqs via local_irq_save(), but then it calls do_tx_done() which does a spin_unlock_irq(), re-enabling for a function that does not expect it! While currently this bug seems harmless (only some debug printout seems to be affected by it), it's nevertheless something to be fixed. So this patch makes the ns83820 ISR irq-flags-safe, and cleans up do_tx_done() use and locking to avoid the ns83820_tx_timeout() bug. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> ns83820_mib_isr takes the misc_lock in IRQ context. All other places that do this in the ISR already use _irqsave versions, make this consistent at least. At some point in the future someone should audit the driver to see if all _irqsave's in the ISR can go away, this is generally an iffy/fragile proposition though; for now get it safe, simple and consistent. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> ok this is a real driver deadlock: The ns83820 driver enabled interrupts (by unlocking the misc_lock with _irq) while still holding the rx_info.lock, which is required to be irq safe since it's used in the ISR like this: writel(1, dev->base + IER); spin_unlock_irq(&dev->misc_lock); kick_rx(ndev); spin_unlock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock); This is can cause a deadlock if an irq was pending at the first spin_unlock_irq already, or if one would hit during kick_rx(). Simply remove the first _irq solves this Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-07-05[PATCH] pcnet32: Cleanup rx buffers after loopback test.Don Fry
More cleanup to pcnet32_loopback_test to release receive buffers if device is not up. Created common routine to free rx buffers. Tested ia32 and ppc64 Signed-off-by: Don Fry <brazilnut@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-07-05[PATCH] pcnet32: Suspend the chip rather than restart when changing ↵Don Fry
multicast/promisc Suspend the chip if possible rather than stop and discard all tx and rx frames, when changing the mcast list or entering/leaving promiscuous mode. Created common pcnet32_suspend routine. Tested ia32 and ppc64 Signed-off-by: Don Fry <brazilnut@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
