I have another request for the block filter SG_IO command whitelist,
specifically the MMC streaming command set SET READ AHEAD command.
The command applies only to MMC CDROM/DVDROM drives with the streaming
optional feature set.  The command is useful to cdparanoia in that it
allows explicit cache control side effects that are, on many drives,
cdparanoia's most efficient way to flush/disable the media cache on
cdrom drives. I am aware of no reason why it should not be accessible
from usespace.

Also note that the command is already fully accessible through the
SCSI-native version of the SG_IO ioctl as well as the traditional SG
interface.  The command is only being refused on block devices.  That
means that on a typical stock distro, the command is available through
/dev/sg* but not /dev/scd* although both are typically available and
accessible.  Filtering the command is not providing any protection,
only a confusing inconsistency.

Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion

Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error

unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d

It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.

The problem is really quite silly.  We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required.  As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.

There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.

This is exactly what the following patch does.

When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that
tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single
packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful,
copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be
called early which can send an ack. Further along in
tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will
schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed
ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:

When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.

The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.

Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
(commit d35cb360)

Especially :

  -   add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
  +   if (!mod->skip)
  +     add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
    }
    return;
   fail:

Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this:

   mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777

It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which
contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being
initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so
that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.

This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay
(mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command()
and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,
while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius).  As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.

Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.

Matthew Garrett told us about that happening on the nx6125:

and then Maciej analysed the breakage on the basis of a DSDT from the
nx6325:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121401068718826&w=4

As far as the Dmitry's and Jason's boxes are concerned, I recognized the
symptoms and asked them to verify that the blacklisting helped.

It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire
range of machines, for no good reason.
