[PATCH] USB: Patches for the ECONNRESET error (2.5)
Matt Dharm asked me to send these bug-fix patches directly to you. They
correct the error-code handling in usb-storage. The change for 2.5 is
pretty minor; it only affects debugging output. But the change for 2.4 is
more pervasive, and according to Tom Collins it is the key to making a usb
hard disk work on his MIPS-based system.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: trivial speedtouch changes
Get rid of some unused #defines.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: Fix atmsar memory leak
Leak found by the Stanford Checker (patch by Randy Dunlap).
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] USB: cdc-acm memory leak
The Stanford Checker discovered a memory leak in cdc-acm.
This patch to 2.5.59 fixes it. Please apply.
<petkan@users.sourceforge.net>
[PATCH] USB: pegasus update (2.5)
These are very small and similar csets against both usb-2.4 and usb-2.5
trees. One part of them is adding a missing flag to one of the device
descriptors. The other part is fixing a vendor name which i mistakenly
replaced with the product name.
Adding Mobility EasyDock device into the list.
Adding a missing flag to Accton's SpeedStream description

logic directly into hci_sock_sendmsg().
<dougg@torque.net>
[PATCH] aic79xxx_osm.c in 2.5.59-bk3
Fix cmd->lun to cmd->device->lun
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] further sim710 updates
James, your sim710 changes look nice, but I think there's some more
stuff to do in this driver. I've started with the following (all
untested due to lack of the hardware):
- move to scsi_add_host/scsi_remove_host interface
- remove a bunch of unneeded ifdefs
- add missing statics
- unregister driver templates on unload
and I think there's more that should be done, but this would change
user-visiable attributes:
- remove the ugly single module option code and the command line
parsing in favour of Rusty's new module_param stuff
- split the driver into two drivers: 53c700_eisa and 53c700_mca.
There's no logic shared between those two busses, just a little
bit of helper in the setup/remove code
And after looking a this driver I have some rants about the new
mac/eisa code:
- mca_register_driver/mca_unregister_driver should check for
the precense of an MCA bus by themselves instead of leaving
it to the caller
- eisa_driver_register should really return 0 for sucess
- mca_register_driver/mca_unregister_driver should be named
mca_driver_register/mca_driver_unregister to be more similar
to the other *driver_(un)registers.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] fix wd7000 for scsi command block changes
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove cpqioctl.c
This is userland testing code that leaked into the kernel tree somehow.
<eike-kernel@sf-tec.de>
[PATCH] typo in 53c700.c
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove remaining queueing-related code from scsi.c to
Try to keep all queuing-related stuff in one file and sanitize global
symbols. BTW, any chance you could bk rename scsi_lib.c to
scsi_queue.c?
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] Two small fixes for sym53c8xx_2
Both of these patches are originally by Grant Grundler. They've been
tested in the PA-RISC tree for a few months, and I'm forwarding them along.
First patch:
pci_set_dma_mask returns 0 if the card can perform DMA as specified,
so the sense of the test is wrong.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] scsi/imm.c compile errors in 2.5.60
I think this patch takes care of scsi/imm.c build errors
in 2.5.60.
Please review and apply if correct.
For kernel bugzilla #330.
<andmike@us.ibm.com>
fix scsi/ppa.c
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove eata_dma driver
Last changelog entry is from 1996 and it had no changes ecept global
search and replace since start of the bitkeeper history.
The alternate driver eata is maintained and the Kconfig file contains
a stong advice on using it.
<ishikawa@linux.or.jp>
[PATCH] aic79xx build and lun detect problem fix
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/diffs/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_osm.c@1.16?nav=index.html|src/|src/drivers|src/driver+
s/scsi|src/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx|hist/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_osm.c
This change(latest aic79xx driver and scsi_cmnd changes merging)
is dropped `hscb->lun = cmd->device->lun;' (in aic79xx_osm.c line
4272). This change cause lun detect problem. I believe it is still
needed.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
fix scsi/aha15*.c for 2.5.60
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
Minor fixes to scsi/sim710.c
Add include of linux/interrupts from Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de>
Improve the interrupt probing so it works for CPQ4411
<andmike@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] scsi_error handler update. (1/4)
This patch series is against scsi-misc-2.5.
These patches modify the scsi error handler to process cmds needing
recovery off a list. The error handler policy has been altered to do the
following:
1.) Check for legacy behavior of requesting sense.
2.) Abort commands marked needing to be canceled.
3.) Ready devices through tur and eh handlers.
4.) disposition each command on the list to be retried or
finished.
00_serror-cmd-list-1.diff:
- Add per host eh_cmd_list list head.
- Add per cmd eh_list list head.
01_serror-scmd-add-1.diff:
- Add scsi_eh_scmd_add function.
02_serror-hndlr-1.diff:
- Change to using eh_cmd_list.
- Change scsi_unjam_host to get sense, abort cmds, ready
devices, and disposition cmds for retry or finish.
- Moved retries outside of eh.
03_serror-dev-offline-1.diff:
- Add scsi_set_device_offline interface.
I have tested both the timeout and offline cases with the scsi_debug. I
have ran some other testing, but my machine stability is causing it to
oops in other areas.

[PATCH] USB speedtouch: Even more trivial speedtouch change
Rename UDSL_RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE to UDSL_RCV_BUFFER_SIZE.
<duncan.sands@math.u-psud.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: yet another trivial speedtouch change
Measure the receive buffer size in ATM cells (53 bytes).
<duncan.sands@math.u-psud.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: infrastructure for new speedtouch send path
Put in infrastructure for the new send code. The only code changes are in the
udsl_usb_probe and udsl_usb_disconnect functions, changed to initialize/finalize the
new fields (plus cleaned up a bit). I couldn't resist a real code change while I was
there: freeing the memory used by the ATM after shutting it down, rather than before!
This doesn't make any difference since the shutdown routine doesn't work - so it still
oopses. I will fix the shutdown routine later.
<duncan.sands@math.u-psud.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: expose crc defs to speedtouch
Expose some CRC definitions in atmsar.h (for use by speedtouch.c).
<duncan.sands@math.u-psud.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: More infrastructure for new speedtouch send path
Add a new structure, udsl_control. It will live in the sk_buff cb field,
so check there is room for it and bail out during module init if not.
<duncan.sands@math.u-psud.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: on-the-fly AAL5/ATM encoding for speedtouch
Add a new encoding routine, udsl_write_cell, which extracts one ATM cell from a skb
and writes it, doing the AAL5/ATM encoding on the fly. To make this possible, various
bits of info about the AAL5/ATM structure need to be stored beforehand in the skb.
This is done by udsl_groom_skb using the udsl_control structure introduced in the
previous patch.
<duncan.sands@math.u-psud.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: new speedtouch send path
Finally, here is the new code for sending packets. The ATM layer passes us a skb
containing the packet to be sent. We need to encode that as AAL5, and then encapsulate
the result in a series of ATM cells. Finally, the result has to be sent to the modem.
When we have finished with the skb, we need to pass it back to the ATM layer.
The old code did this as follows: (1) Try to do the AAL5 encoding in place in the skb.
This fattens the packet, so there is not always enough room. Thus sometimes a new skb
is allocated. (2) Try to form the frame of ATM cells in place. This also fattens the
packet, so sometimes another skb is allocated here too. (3) send the urb, using the
skb as buffer.
The main problems with this are: (1) in the urb completion handler, we need to pass
the skb back to the ATM layer, or free it ourselves if we allocated a new one. The
driver was pretty confused about which to do. Also, error conditions were not
always handled right. (2) if the ATM layer wants to close the VCC (connection),
any urbs in flight using skbs from that VCC need to be shot down, otherwise the
skb may be returned to a VCC that no longer exists when the urb completes. You
have to be careful to shoot down the right urb (beware of resubmission), and deal
with failures of usb_unlink_urb. (3) There may need to be several memory allocations.
The new code sidesteps all this by (1) not sending the skb off with the urb, and
(2) not reallocating the skb at all. It simply has a couple of buffers of fixed
size: the encoded and encapsulated content of the skb is placed in a buffer. The
skb is sent back down to the ATM layer and the buffer is sent off with the urb.
Et voila, as they say around here.
Now for the complicating factors: (1) if there are no spare buffers, the incoming
skb needs to be queued (this was already the case if there were no free urbs). If
the VCC is closed, the skbs from that VCC need to be removed from the queue. This
is trivial and is done in udsl_usb_cancelsends. (2) The skbs can be quite big. In
practice, with the default configuration for pppd, they contain at most 1502 bytes.
However pppd can be configured to send up to 16k packets, and who says everyone
is using pppd? - the ATM layer allows up to 64k packets. So how big should the
buffers be? Not 64k, that's for sure - I've set them to about 6k (128 ATM cells).
So there needs to be a way to encode/encapsulate and transfer only part of the skb's
payload into a buffer. This is done by udsl_write_cell, which extracts one ATM
cell from the skb. The data needed is precalculated by udsl_groom_skb and stored
in the skb's cb field. This also means that if there is only a little room left
in a buffer, it can still be filled by extracting part of a skb. A nice consequence
is that under heavy load (many packets being sent), the driver starts streaming the
data to the USB subsystem: every time a send urb completes, there is a completely
filled buffer waiting to be sent, so not only is the time between urb completion and
resubmission essentially zero, but the amount of data sent in each USB transaction is
as big as possible, each buffer containing the contents of several skbs (typically 4).
And the best thing is: it actually works!

[PATCH] USB speedtouch: fix speedtouch micro race
The disconnect routine counts the completed_receivers/spare_senders list
to see if the completion handler has finished. It then kills the tasklet.
However the tasklet was being scheduled after adding to the lists, creating
a micro race. So schedule the tasklet before adding to the list.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] USB speedtouch: Fix speedtouch maxi race
Instead of trying to close all ATM connections in the USB disconnect routine,
just notify the ATM layer that the ATM device should go down when the last
connection is closed. This should be the last big speedtouch stability fix.

[PATCH] USB speedtouch: speedtouch 330 support
Differences: speedtouch 330 vs the older speedtouch USB:
Vendor and ProdID: no difference (!)
Rev: 2.00 vs 0.00
SerialNumber: 0090D0xxxxxx, xxxxxx larger for 330
Interface 1, Alt 2:
E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=07(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=87(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS=640 Ivl=1ms
vs
E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=32 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=07(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=32 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=87(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=64 Ivl=0ms
Interface 1, Alt 3:
E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=07(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=87(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS=960 Ivl=1ms
vs
E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=16 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=07(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=16 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=87(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=64 Ivl=0ms
The current driver works with the speedtouch 330 as long as we use alternate setting
1 on interface 1 rather than alternate 2 as we do now. In fact it makes sense to use
alternate 1 for the speedtouch USB as well: the difference is in the max packet size
for the out bulk endpoint (0x07): 64 for Alt 1, 32 for Alt 2. Since we send only
multiples of 53 bytes (ATM cell size), the potential lower latency for Alt 2 is not
really exploitable (think about it!). My tests indicate no harm and perhaps a slight
gain by using Alt 1. The manufacturer seems to think so too, since they chose to
keep the Alt 1 setting and threw out Alt 2 when designing the 330. So just use Alt 1
for both modems.

[PATCH] USB: USB keyboard works after reboot (ehci-hcd)
This resolves a problem caused by "reboot" not actually
doing a clean shutdown of drivers. It uses a reboot
notifier to make sure that typical BIOS code (using the
USB 1.1 companion controllers) will see keyboards even
without an EHCI driver being active.
<mark@alpha.dyndns.org>
[PATCH] USB: ov511 bugfixes/cleanup
This patch updates the 2.5 ov511 driver to version 1.64. This fixes some
longstanding bugs and cleans the code up a bit.
Changes:
- Eliminate remaining uses of sleep_on()
- Remove unnecessary (and racy) calls to waitqueue_active()
- Fix a memory leak in the open() error path
- Remove some redundant and unused variables
- Documentation fixes

is no normal interface to configure crypto in my driver, as the general
interface is not userfriendly at all. So in fact, I use Bens driver for my
ISP bussiness in general cases and my driver for troubleshooting.

[PATCH] Bounds checking for NFSv3 readdirplus
From Ted Phelps <phelps@dstc.edu.au>
The NFSv3 readdirplus path doesn't check to see if maxcount is less
than the size of a page before it fills it up, possibly overwriting
random bits of memory. At least, it makes my Solaris NFSv3 client
work.
The attached patch, against 2.5.58, adds this check in a way which is
consistent with the way readdir does under both NFSv2 andNFSv3.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] Keep track of which page is the 'tail' of an NFSd reply
NFS replies can have a 'tail' after a 'data' component
(for read, readlink, readdir).
For nfsv2 and v3 this tail is in the same page as the head.
For nfsv4, this tail is in a separate page.
We need to keep track of which page so that it right one
gets sent. This patch does that.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] Fix handling of error code in NFSv4 replies
As nfsv4 does some reply encoding while processing
requests, the code which tries to put the overall status
at the head of the reply fails.
With this patch, we take the address for the overall
status very early so NFSv4's encoding wont confuse us.

[PATCH] Fix problem where knfsd wouldn't release filesystem on unexport.
Problem was that the cache was being updated inplace, rather
than swapping in a new entry, so old filesystem pointers
were overwritten without being released.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] Make kNFSd pre/post_[acm]time use struct timespec
From Trond:
When the nanosecond resolution on [acm]time was introduced to 2.5.x,
the knfsd GETATTR responses were converted to make use of the
nanosecond field, but the pre/post WCC attributes were not. This will
lead to a lot of unnecessary cache invalidations on the clients.
The following trivial patch should fix up knfsd so that it stores and
encodes the full 'struct timespec' in both pre and post attribute
fields.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] Convert fs/nfsctl.c to use C99 named initiailzers
From Art Haas <ahaas@airmail.net>:
This converts the file to use C99 named initializers. These change make
the file compile with fewer warnings if '-W' is added to the compile
flags, and may enhance code readability. Let me know if you think this
should be sent to Linus.

[PATCH] Add name of md device to name of thread managing that device.
This allows the thread to easily identified and signalled.
The point of signalling will appear in the next patch.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] Provide a 'safe-mode' for soft raid.
When a raid1 or raid5 array is in 'safe-mode', then the array
is marked clean whenever there are no outstanding write requests,
and is marked dirty again before allowing any write request to
proceed.
This means than an unclean shutdown while no write activity is happening
will NOT cause a resync to be required. However it does mean extra
updates to the superblock.
Currently safe-mode is turned on by sending SIGKILL to the raid thread
as would happen at a normal shutdown. This should mean that the
reboot notifier is no longer needed.
After looking more at performance issues I may make safemode be on
all the time. I will almost certainly make it on when RAID5 is degraded
as an unclean shutdown of a degraded RAID5 means data loss.

[PATCH] POSIX clocks & timers
This is version 23 or so of the POSIX timer code.
Internal changelog:
- Changed the signals code to match the new order of things. Also the
new xtime_lock code needed to be picked up. It made some things a lot
simpler.
- Fixed a spin lock hand off problem in locking timers (thanks
to Randy).
- Fixed nanosleep to test for out of bound nanoseconds
(thanks to Julie).
- Fixed a couple of id deallocation bugs that left old ids
laying around (hey I get this one).
- This version has a new timer id manager. Andrew Morton
suggested elimination of recursion (done) and I added code
to allow it to release unused nodes. The prior version only
released the leaf nodes. (The id manager uses radix tree
type nodes.) Also added is a reuse count so ids will not
repeat for at least 256 alloc/ free cycles.
- The changes for the new sys_call restart now allow one
restart function to handle both nanosleep and clock_nanosleep.
Saves a bit of code, nice.
- All the requested changes and Lindent too :).
- I also broke clock_nanosleep() apart much the same way
nanosleep() was with the 2.5.50-bk5 changes.
TIMER STORMS
The POSIX clocks and timers code prevents "timer storms" by
not putting repeating timers back in the timer list until
the signal is delivered for the prior expiry. Timer events
missed by this delay are accounted for in the timer overrun
count. The net result is MUCH lower system overhead while
presenting the same info to the user as would be the case if
an interrupt and timer processing were required for each
increment in the overrun count.

[PATCH] USB: add "present" flag to usb_device structure.

[IPV{4,6}]: lru queue for ip_fragment evictor.

fragments.
This patch holds the frag heads in a lru queue so we can kills the least
recently used first. Each arriving fragment counts as usage.

[PATCH] export add_to_page_cache() and __pagevec_lru_add to
CIFS is using these.
Given that the readpages() address_space op is supposed to add the pages to
pagecache, it makes sense to make these functions available to modules.
I can't say that I put a lot of though into the readpages API. It was
designed as just enough functionality to be able to stuff a bunch of
readahead pages into a single BIO. The only reason I made it an a_op at all
was because we have toi enter the fs to pick up the ->get_block callback's
address.
But a couple of filesystems seem to be making use of it now. Reiser4 will
need access at the do_page_cache_readahead() level too.

be int.
- Change instance of (1<<cpu) to cpu_to_logical_apicid()
- Don't use target_cpu_mask, use min_loaded, and convert the real way

[PATCH] fix m68knommu/ColdFire serial port hang
This patches fixes a serial port "hang" on the m68knommu ColdFire
serial driver. It was erroneoulsy looking for a state bit that
is never set.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] add m68knommu serial console support into tty_io.c
This patch initializes the m68knommu specific serial drivers (68328serial.c,
mcfserial.c and 68360serial.c) when used as consoles.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] add missing m68knommu/68VZ328/ucdimm/config.c
This adds the missing config.c file for the m68knommu/68VZ328/ucdimm
target.

[PATCH] reformat m68knommu 68360/uCquicc crt0_rom.S
This patch reformats the 68360 crt_rom.S file to make it consistent
with the other m68knommu assembler files, and generally to good
style standards :-)
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] create common vector setup code for m68knommu/ColdFire
This patch creates a common set of vector code for the ColdFire
sub-architecture of the m68knommu architecture. The basic setup
code for all ColdFire CPU's is the same. Some more patches will
follow this that remove theis common code from each of the
ColdFire CPU configs.

<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] include the architecture flat file header in common flat header
This patch adds support into the common flat.h header to include
the architecture specific flat.h header. This is modelled on the
same scheme as the elf include header file support.

[PATCH] inline unsued functions for MMUless configuration
This patch adds inline versions of init_emergency_isa_pool() and
blk_queue_bounce() for MMUless builds. This patch was originally
from Christoph Hellwig, as part of the MMUless merge.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] reformat m68knommu 68360/uCquicc crt0_ram.S
This patch reformats the 68360 crt_ram.S file to make it consistent

style standards :-)
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] use local RODATA setup for m68knommu linker script
This patch removes the use of the common RODATA define in the m68knommu
architecture. It cannot be used the same way for the m68knommu target.
For starters just inserting it here is syntactically wrong. All the read
only parts are grouped into a single "text" segment, and this is the root
cause of the problem. So for the m68knommu arch it makes sense to not
use the generic RODATA setup, but to list them locally.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] clean up compiler warnings in m68knommu machdep.h
This patch includes seq_file.h in the m68knommu machdep.h header.
Cleans up warnings caused by function prototypes.

[PATCH] remove duplicate memory size option in m68knommu Kconfig
This patch removes a duplicate menu option in the m68knommu Kconfig.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] fix text and data sizing in MMUless task_nommu.c
This patch does a couple of things to the MMUless proc support:
1. change current->sig to current->sighand
2. initialize vsize var in task_vsize() function
3. correctly set *text and *data values in task_vsize() function
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] create an architecture specific flat header for m68knommu
Add a per-architecture flat.h flat format executable header. The idea is
to support the different options required in a clean way. For starters
we need to be able to configure the initial stack layout, and this
differs for different CPU types.
This first patch adds the header for the m68knommu architecture.
<gerg@snapgear.com>
[PATCH] add missing page_referenced() for MMUless configs
This patch adds the missing page_reference() macro for the no swap
case. With no rmap this is trivially a call to TestClearPageReferenced().

[PATCH] eliminate warnings in generated module files
The compiler.h fragment should describe the problem well enough.
<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
Preparations and Cleanups
Required for the remaining patches in this series.
<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
This patch contains an improved resource management algorithm. It is
capable of resolving nearly any conflict between two or more PnP devices.
It also contains better error reporting and a manual override capability.
<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
Moves the resource parsing functions to a new location "support.c". These
resource parsing functions contain many improvements including the ability
to set resources according to actual value rather than dependent functions.
The interface changes will be able to take advantage of this.
<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
Interface Updates
Includes the ability to report exactly where conflicts are occuring and
several set resource improvements.
<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
ISAPnP Updates
Adds support for reading currently set resources. Also a few other updates.

<sri@us.ibm.com>
[IPV4/IPV6]: Fix to avoid overriding TCP/UDP with a new protocol of same type.
Registering a new protocol of type SOCK_STREAM with a protocol value other
than IPPROTO_TCP will override TCP if the application passes 0 as the protocol
to the socket() call.
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
I guess many applications follow this syntax as they assume TCP is the default
protocol for SOCK_STREAM type.
The same holds true for SOCK_DGRAM type sockets assuing UDP as the default.
This is due to the insertion of a new inet_protosw entry into the inetsw list
of a particular type at the head of the list. inet_create() uses the first
entry in the list if a wild-card protocol is passed.
The following patch fixes the insertion of a new entry so that it is added
after the last permanent entry in the list. This makes sure that the new
entries do not override any existing permanent entries.

[PATCH] oprofile author needs to learn C

<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Keep interrupts enabled in exit path
We are leaving local interrupts disabled coming out of exit_notify().
But we are about to call wait_task_inactive() which spins, waiting for
another CPU to end a task. If that CPU has issued smp_call_function() to
this CPU, deadlock.
So the patch enables interrupts again before returning from exit_notify().
Also, exit_notify() returns with preemption disabled, so there is no
need to perform another preempt_disable() in do_exit().
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Don't call mmdrop under a spinlock
We're calling mmdrop() under spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock). But mmdrop
calls vfree(), which calls smp_call_function().
It is not legal to call smp_call_function() with irq's off. Because
another CPU may be running smp_call_function() against _this_ CPU, which
deadlocks.
So the patch arranges for mmdrop() to not be called under
spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock).

[PATCH] make io_apic.c use named initializers

[PATCH] scsi_error update take 2
This is an update of a previous patch I posted.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=104495114103628&w=2
This patch is against scsi-misc-2.5
The updates from the last patch include:
- Names changes:
eh_cmd_list => eh_cmd_q
eh_list => eh_entry
- Move shost->in_recovery = 0
- Switch from scsi_retry_command to scsi_queue_insert for retry
to solve fast completions / serial start of retries.

[PATCH] Fusion Driver 2.05.00.03 against 2.5.62bk3
Please accept this large patch against 2.5.62bk4 to update the
Fusion-MPT driver from 2.03.01.01 to 2.05.00.03.
This version contains full 2.5 kernel support (add, configuration &
removal of disks, new module hooks), performance enhancements, removal
of obsolete code that is 2.4 (or earlier) specific and removal of blank
spaces at end of lines. Tested overnight on 2.5.62bk3 and ran some
tests against bk4 this morning on both machines. Things appear to be
fine - have not tested the two failure conditions today.
The driver has been tested on two different platforms:
- P4 4-processor
o boot controller
o built into kernel
o disk add, configure, remove
o bus, target reset
o device offline cases
o cross channel I/O stress tests w/ Fibre and SCSI
- Athlon uniprocessor, IDE boot
o Ran a test that repeatedly loads the driver, mounts disks, runs a
short I/O test (20mins) then unload the driver components in a
different order
Failures:
o Unable to boot if boot controller is built as a module - pivot_root
fails (Happens if IDE or SCSI boot)
o Problems when formatting large SCSI disks. On P4 w/ 2.5.60, there
were no difficulties formatting a 36GB disk. On Athlon, mkfs.ext2
would never send a write command to the driver (verified w/ SCSI
trace and driver debug). Reads completed successfully. mkfs.ext2
would not exit and is shown as a running process.
Smaller partitions were formatted correctly. W/ 2.5.62 failures on
P4 and Athlon.
Same error with other drivers. 100% reproducible.
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
We don't need to wait for task in-activity in release_task() any more,
since we now properly reference-count the allocations and thus can't
be freeing the thread structures from underneath the task running on
another CPU.
Move "free_uid(p->user)" and "security_task_free()" to __put_task_struct(),
so that we're guaranteed to always have a user structure pointer.

using an exported symbol will make it's module unloadable?..)

This patch moves over printing of the various struct Scsi_Host

more work on the pcmcia drivers this will allow us to make
scsi_host_get_next() private to the midlayer for implementing
refcounting and cleaning up locking in that area.

[PATCH] Alternative tty fasync fix
Instead of detecting when filp->private_data becomes NULL in
do_tty_hangup and check_tty_count, we remove the file descriptor
from the list of descriptors associated with the tty. We use the
same method that dentry_open() uses.
(It also cleans that up to use a "file_kill()" instead of using a dummy
"kill_list()" that leaves pointers to stale stack entries that are never
used)
In addition, we change the for() loops into real list_for_each()
or list_for_each_entry loops as appropriate.

Fix some annoying warnings that happen on x86-64.
- Predeclare pt_regs in binfmts.h. For some reason it isn't included
implicitely there.
- use unsigned long, not long for interrupt flags in posix-timers.c
<ak@muc.de>
[PATCH] Allow xtime_lock declaration in arch specific code for x86-64
x86-64 vsyscalls require mapping the sequence number used by
gettimeofday in a magic way, so that userland can access it via
vsyscalls for user space time-of-day access.
Instead of putting the magic into generic code I just allowed to move it
into architecture specific files.

Large Stack Usage Fix
Reduces the stack memory usage in the following PnP Functions:
pnp_printf
pnp_set_current_resources
pnp_manual_config_dev
pnp_activate_dev
<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
Resource Management Performance Fix
Fixes a typo in pnp_check_*_conflicts functions. Without this fix the
resource algorithm will work but will take longer to assign resources.
Also contains some minor reordering in pnp_activate_dev.

[PATCH] Alpha CFLAGS fix
Hi Richard.
I noticed you have set -Werror in all alpha architecture
specific makefiles - good initiative. I wish we could do that in general.
But the correct way to alter CFLAGS in kbuild makefiles is to use
EXTRA_CFLAGS.
The following patch fixes this.
You could argue that this is a stylistic issue, but in this way
you follow Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
I stumbled over:
EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS)
I could not realise the purpose with this assignment, and I noticed
that it did not include -Werror, becuse you did hat assignment in
the following line.
Wanted to inform you about it but I see no problem. It is just that
I did not understand it.
In math-emu I see this:
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -Iinclude/math-emu -w
Grepping the src I see no reason to have the -Iinclude/math-emu
Relevant files are prefixed with math-emu (soft-fp, single, double)
I did not fix it, because I cannot compile alpha.

[PATCH] Remove dummy cb_config() and cb_release()
cb_config() and cb_release() are just simple dummy functions that are
only used in the internals of the PCMCIA code. We inline them where
used.
<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] Remove unused "dev" argument from cb_setup_cis_mem
cb_setup_cis_mem doesn't reference the pci device. Remove this unused
argument.
<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] Remove "fn" argument from read_cb_mem()
read_cb_mem is only ever called with its "fn" argument set to zero.
We therefore do not need to pass it.
<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] Remove pci_{read,write}[bwl]
cardbus.c uses its own names for our PCI config space functions.
Make it use our names.
<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] Remove stack allocation of struct pci_dev
cb_alloc() allocated a pci_dev on the stack to access PCI space. This
is unnecessary since we have pci_bus_*_config_* functions. Use these
functions instead.
<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] Always re-read vendor for each function
We should probably always read the vendor ID from each function
rather than assuming that it is identical to function 0.
<ak@muc.de>
[PATCH] Fix x86-64 loose ends
- Make MTRR driver compatible with 2.4/x86-64 again. This fixes an
endless loop in the XFree86 4.3pre server.
- Fix the boot code that rejected earlier: rewrote early CPU detection
and SSE is forced now
- Always force inlining in vsyscalls

[PATCH] pcmcia: add socket_offset for multiple pci_sockets, correct suspend&resume
- suspend & remove for pci_socket was broken -- thanks to Paul
Mackerras for noting this
- to correctly initialize multiple pci_socket devices, a sock_offset is
needed.
- s_info doesn't need to be an array.

<chas@locutus.cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: Remove cli from lec.c
<chas@locutus.cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
[ATM]: empty tx queue in lec when flush complete
the lane spec says the following about path switching:
10.1.2.7 Transmitting Held Frames
Once the LE_FLUSH_RESPONSE is received, the LE Client MUST
transmit any held data frames on the new data path before
transmitting any further frames on the new path.
10.1.2.8 Switching Over Paths Without Flush
Regardless of the provisions of the rest of Section 10.1, when
switching from the old path to a new path, if an LE Client has
not transmitted a data frame to a particular LAN Destination via
the old path for a period of time greater than or equal to the
C22 Path Switching Delay, then it MAY start using the new path
without employing the Flush protocol.
the lane client in linux-atm does do this but it doesnt send the
held frames until a frame is transmitted on the vcc after the flush
has completed. often this doesnt happen until you get an ip retransmit.
the following patch sends the held frames after the flush completes
(or the switching delay expires)

[PATCH] s390: common i/o layer.
updates for the channel subsystem and qdio driver
This adds the missing support for chp machine checks, i.e.
enabling or disabling a set of devices from the service element.
Some minor bugs in the driver are fixed as well.

[PATCH] s390: dasd block device driver.
updates for s390 dasd driver
Some problems have been found in the dasd error handling code, they
are fixed by the update to dasd_3990_erp.c.
Dasd is one of only two remaining drivers that use the null
elevator instead of iosched. Appearantly, the null elevator
has some bitrot and can result in random data loss. For now,
we just don't use it.

update extable support in s390 and s390x
this makes use of the unified extable code.
for 31 bit s390, this is slightly more complicated
than the other architectures, but as long as
no one outside /arch uses search_exception_tables,
everything should work nicely
