Commit 64e9159f5d2c4edf5fa6425031e556f8fddaf7e6 ("serial_core:
uart_set_ldisc infrastructure") introduced the ability for low-level
serial drivers to be informed when the tty ldisc changes.
However, the actual tty-layer function that does this callback for
serial devices was declared with the wrong type, having a spurious and
unused 'ldisc' argument.
This fixed the resulting compiler warning by just removing it.

* wMaxPacketSize is le16; copying it to a field of local structure and then
using that field as host-endian (size of object to be allocated) is broken.
* bMaxPacketSize0 is 8-bit; feeding it to le16_to_cpu() is bogus and since the

- Make ata_sff_altstatus private so nobody uses it by mistake
- Drop the 400nS delay from it
Add
ata_sff_irq_status - encapsulates the IRQ check logic
This function keeps the existing behaviour for altstatus using devices. I
actually suspect the logic was wrong before the changes but -rc isn't the
time to play with that
ata_sff_sync - ensure writes hit the device
Really we want an io* operation for 'is posted' eg ioisposted(ioaddr) so
that we can fix the nasty delay this causes on most systems.
- ata_sff_pause - 400nS delay
Ensure the command hit the device and delay 400nS
- ata_sff_dma_pause
Ensure the I/O hit the device and enforce an HDMA1:0 transition delay.
Requires altstatus register exists, BUG if not so we don't risk
corruption in MWDMA modes. (UDMA the checksum will save your backside in
theory)
The only other complication then is devices with their own handlers.
rb532 can use dma_pause but scc needs to access its own altstatus
register for internal errata workarounds so directly call the drivers own
altstatus function.

* Differentiate between bay devices in dock stations and others:
- When an ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST appears, just signal uevent to
userspace (that is when the optional eject button on a bay device is
pressed/pulled) giving the possibility to unmount file systems and to
clean up. Also, only send uevent in case we get an EJECT_REQUEST
without doing anything else. In other cases, you'll get an add/remove
event because libata attaches/detaches the device.
- In case of a dock event, which in turn signals an
ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST, immediately detach the device, because it
may already have been gone
* In case of an ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE/BUS_CHECK, evaluate _STA to check if
the device has been plugged or unplugged. If plugged, hotplug it, if
unplugged, just signal event to userspace
(initial patch by Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>)

The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline
is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific
features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial
layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers.
Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are
now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the
proper operations.
This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid
blackfin losing features in this release.

Both the PNP/PCI conflict detection quirk and the PNP system
driver must use the same mechanism to mark resources as disabled.
I think it's best to keep the resource and to keep the type bit
(IORESOURCE_MEM, etc), so that we match the list from firmware
as closely as possible.

The following commit (4c9bf4e799ce06a7378f1196587084802a414c03):
libata: replace tf_read with qc_fill_rtf for non-SFF drivers
Broke the sata_fsl.c driver in 2.6.26-rc. I know the following patch fixes
the issue, it clearly also adds port multipler support. The current
2.6.26-rc driver is broken.
On boot with debug enabled we get something like (w/o this patch):
spurious interrupt!!, CC = 0x1
interrupt status 0x1
xx_scr_read, reg_in = 1
spurious interrupt!!, CC = 0x1
interrupt status 0x1
xx_scr_read, reg_in = 1
spurious interrupt!!, CC = 0x1
interrupt status 0x1
xx_scr_read, reg_in = 1
.. continues for ever.
This change fixes this as a side effect of adding port multiplier support.

ICH8M on macbooks are peculiar in that some of them lock up when the
second port is enabled, some return bogus values on SIDPR access while
yet others hang on SIDPR access. Also, the ich8m_apple_sata entry was
wrongly added below generic ich8m entry making it virtually useless.
This patch works around macbook ich8m problems by
* moving ich8m_apple_sata entry above generic ich8m entry
* dropping PIIX_FLAG_SIDPR from ich8m_apple_sata
* adding subsystem 106b:00a1 as ich8m_apple_sata

The driver incorrectly assumed that putchar will only be called from
schedulable process context and therefore blocked and waited if no
free output buffers where available.
Since putchar may also be called from BH context this may lead to
deadlocks.
To fix this just return the number of characters accepted and let the
upper layer handle the rest.
The console write function will busy wait (sclp_sync_wait) until a
buffer is available again.

This fixes the last remaining section mismatch warnings in s390
architecture code. It reveals also a real bug introduced by... me
with git commit 2069e978d5a6e7b45d58027e3de7f879b8c5e488
("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.")
Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized
memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated
and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later.
This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added.
So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix
the original bug.

Due to incorrect function call sequence it can happen that a tape block
request is finished before the request is taken from the block request queue.
The following sequence leads to that condition:
* tapeblock_start_request() -> start CCW program
* Request finishes -> IO interrupt
* tapeblock_end_request()
* end_that_request_last()
If blkdev_dequeue_request() has not been called before end_that_request_last(),
a kernel bug is triggered in end_that_request_last() because the request is
still queued. To solve that problem blkdev_dequeue_request() has to be called
before starting the CCW program.

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).
There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.
It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.
We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

I looked into the virtio_net code for some time and I think the following
scenario happened. Please look at virtnet_poll:
[...]
/* Out of packets? */
if (received < budget) {
netif_rx_complete(vi->dev, napi);
if (unlikely(!vi->rvq->vq_ops->enable_cb(vi->rvq))
&& napi_schedule_prep(napi)) {
vi->rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(vi->rvq);
__netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, napi);
goto again;
}
}
If an interrupt arrives after netif_rx_complete, a second poll routine can run
on a different cpu. The second check for napi_schedule_prep would prevent any
harm in the network stack, but we have called enable_cb possibly after the
disable_cb in skb_recv_done.
static void skb_recv_done(struct virtqueue *rvq)
{
struct virtnet_info *vi = rvq->vdev->priv;
/* Schedule NAPI, Suppress further interrupts if successful. */
if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(vi->dev, &vi->napi)) {
rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(rvq);
__netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, &vi->napi);
}
}
That means that the second poll routine runs with interrupts enabled, which is
ok, since we can handle additional interrupts. The problem is now that the
second poll routine might also call enable_cb, triggering the BUG.
The only solution I can come up with, is to remove the BUG statement in
enable_cb - similar to disable_cb. Opinions or better ideas where the oops
could come from?
