[PATCH] powerpc: windfarm shall request it's sub modules
The windfarm code, in it's current incarnation, uses request_module() to
load the various submodules it needs for a given platform so that only
the main platform control module needs to be modprobed. However, it was
missing various bits. This fixes it. In the future, we'll use some
hotplug mecanisms to try to get all of this auto-loaded on the platforms
where it matters but that isn't ready yet.

"Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
_before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).
So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
self-IPI."
This trivial patch solves the problem.

[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too
(David:)
If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.
But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.
(Hugh:)
prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.
Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because
they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.
Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that
don't have HPET, but need a timer override.
We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,
but at least add a command line option to force the timer override
and let them boot.
2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible
to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set
to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup.
This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time,
and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup
from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which
returns 0 because no regions exist.
This patch fixes this by registering before and removing after the call
to e820_end_of_ram().

[PATCH] x86-64: shorten the x86_64 boot setup GDT to what the comment says
Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very
nasty bug in Xen. But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64
kernel boot setup.
The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into
protected mode is way too big. The comment by the code states that the
size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger
(32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'.
Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up. On bare metal this
is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless they are
explicitly used. But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it
(for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less
than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are
getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception.
Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be
submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit
being a magnitude too big.

libata: fix double-completion on error
A curious thing happens, however, when ata_qc_new_init fails to get

First, ata_qc_new_init handles the failure like this:

done(cmd);
Then, we return to ata_scsi_translate and do this:
err_mem:
cmd->result = (DID_ERROR << 16);
done(cmd);
It appears to me that first we set a status code indicating that we're
ok but the device queue is full and finish the command, but then
we blow away that status code and replace it with an error flag and
finish the command a second time! That does not seem to be desirable
behavior since we merely want the I/O to wait until a command slot
frees up, not send errors up the block layer.
In the err_mem case, we should simply exit out of ata_scsi_translate

IB/mad: Fix race between cancel and receive completion
When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list
and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However,
this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed
before the send is fully flushed.
This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and
return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender
getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for
the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is
expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as
a use-after-free in IPoIB.
Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only
if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of
the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same
check to the search of the wait_list.
Change ehca's Kconfig to activates scaling code as default. After
several measurements we saw that this feature prevents dropped packets
(UD) in stress situation. Thus, enabling it helps to improve ehca's
bandwidth through IPoIB.

__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */

Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:
1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */

2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is
being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock. This issue
is only theoretical.
I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle
misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.
The problem is because of race window. When if(expand) block is executed in
dup_fd unlocking of oldf->file_lock give a window for fdtable in oldf to be
modified. So actual open_files in oldf may not match with open_files
variable.

V4L/DVB (4814): Remote support for Avermedia 777
I didn't test it personally since I don't have this card, but A16AR uses the
same interface and that one certainly does work perfectly (see the next patch).

the weird gpio hack (it's not clear what practical purpose does it serve).

[XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log
deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to
the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the
log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying
to push the inode it was currently unpinning.
To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a
valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on
the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are
completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will
never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an
inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux
inode to the xfs inode.

[POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizes
The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in
the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware. RTAS assumes 4k for flash
block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure,
even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement.
This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory
block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to
RTAS. The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with
4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for
the flash blocks and lists. The 4k alignment requirement is specified
in PAPR.

IB/ehca: Assure 4K alignment for firmware control blocks
Assure 4K alignment for firmware control blocks in 64K page mode,
because kzalloc()'s result address might not be 4K aligned if 64K
pages are enabled. Thus, we introduce wrappers called
ehca_{alloc,free}_fw_ctrlblock(), which use a slab cache for objects
with 4K length and 4K alignment in order to alloc/free firmware
control blocks in 64K page mode. In 4K page mode those wrappers just
are defines of get_zeroed_page() and free_page().

error handling in such a way that nfsd_create will usually return
nfserr_perm even when succesful, if the export has the async export option.
This introduced a regression that could cause mkdir() to always return a

The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.
Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.
Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.
Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.
Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.
So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.
With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.
