This is the ASPM patch against 2.6.10-rc1-mm2. As mentioned in my last email, this patch has a slight difference than the one for 2.6.10-rc1, because the irqbalance quirk was moved from drivers/pci/quirks.c in 2.6.10-rc1 to arch/i386/kernel/quirks.c in 2.6.10-rc1-mm2.

To make spinlock/rwlock initialization consistent all over the kernel, this patch converts explicit lock-initializers into spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() calls. Currently, spinlocks and rwlocks are initialized in two different ways: lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED spin_lock_init(&lock) rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED rwlock_init(&rwlock) this patch converts all explicit lock initializations to spin_lock_init() or rwlock_init(). (Besides consistency this also helps automatic lock validators and debugging code.) The conversion was done with a script, it was verified manually and it was reviewed, compiled and tested as far as possible on x86, ARM, PPC. There is no runtime overhead or actual code change resulting out of this patch, because spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() are macros and are thus equivalent to the explicit initialization method. That's the second batch of the unifying patches. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>

Too much cut-and-paste, hidden by the fact that without debugging, "dev_dbg()" doesn't even look at its arguments.

It apparently really confuses some things (Apple keyboard internal hub for one, but possibly others).

This tiny bit of the last WE-17 patch was lost between me and you. I initially decided to wait to resubmit, but Chris Wedgwood reported that the MadWifi driver needs it. Sorry for not having pushed harder. I recreated this patch, and tested with 2.6.10-rc1, and Chris tested it with MadWifi. Would you mind pushing that up to Linus ?

Experimented a bit more with mounting a bad ext2 filesystem. An immediate crash was caused by zero EXT2_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb). The patch below (relative to 2.6.9) adds a few checks to make sure that things we divide by are not zero.

There is a similar problem reported by s390 people where we see parent kobject (directory) going away before child kobject (sub-directory). It seems kobject code is able to handle this, but not the sysfs. What could be happening that in sysfs_remove_dir() of parent directory, we try to remove its contents. It works well with the regular files as it is the final removal for sysfs_dirent corresponding to the files. But in case of sub-directory we are doing an extra sysfs_put(). Once while removing parent and the other one being the one from when sysfs_remove_dir() is called for the child. The following patch worked for the s390 people, I hope same will work in this case also. o Do not remove sysfs_dirents corresponding to the sub-directory in sysfs_remove_dir(). They will be removed in the sysfs_remove_dir() call for the specific sub-directory. Signed-off-by: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>

"clear_buffer_locked()" is just a nicer name for a clear-bit, and on x86 (and others) we don't need any expensive memory barriers after that.

This is a relatively small changeset, to address small nagging problems. Andrew pointed me at the double registration specifically, so I had to do something about it. At least now Fabio's box won't collapse if he configures UB by mistake. Also, a few people complained that the help text was misleading. I have not done anything about the oops on disconnect which happens to Martin Schlemmer. It's next. After that I can get to Peter Jones' CD burning patch and doing resets. - Fix double kobject registration and eventual oops on unplug if a device is not cooperating. - Add a reference to usb-storage into the configuration help. - Just upping timeouts fixes my ZIP drive. - Max out the diag (trace) file size. - Set capacity to zero in case the media is absent. It works in 2.4.10-rc1. Either Al fixed the block layer, or the whole thing was a bug in ub.c (and sd.c) and a big misunderstanding.

Looks like kobject_uevent_init is executed before netlink_proto_init and consequently always fails. Not cool. Attached patch switches the initialization over from core_initcall (init level 1) to postcore_initcall (init level 2). Netlink's initialization is done in core_initcall, so this should fix the problem. We should be fine waiting until postcore_initcall. Also a couple white space changes mixed in, because I am anal.

This clarifies more of the x86 caller/callee stack ownership issues by making the exception and interrupt handler assembler interfaces use register calling conventions. System calls still use the stack. Tested with "crashme" on UP/SMP.

df_02_bus_rescan_devcies_fix.patch bus_rescan_devices() eventually calls device_attach() and thus requires write locking the corresponding bus. The original code just called bus_for_each_dev() which only read locks the bus. This patch separates __bus_for_each_dev() and __bus_for_each_drv(), which don't do locking themselves, out from the original functions and call them with read lock in the original functions and with write lock in bus_rescan_devices().

Add the sysfs path of the physical device to the hotplug event of class and block devices. This should solve the userspace issue not to know if the device is a virtual one and the "device" symlink will never be created, but we sit there and wait for it to show up not knowing when we should give up. Also the bus name is added to the hotplug event, so we don't need to reverse lookup in the /sys/bus/* directory which bus our physical device belongs to. This is e.g. the value matched against the BUS= key, that may be used in an udev rule. This is a PCI network card: ACTION=add SUBSYSTEM=net DEVPATH=/class/net/eth0 PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0 PHYSDEVBUS=pci INTERFACE=eth0 SEQNUM=827 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/ This is a IDE CDROM: ACTION=add SUBSYSTEM=block DEVPATH=/block/hdc PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide1/1.0 PHYSDEVBUS=ide SEQNUM=1017 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/ This is an USB-stick partition: ACTION=add SUBSYSTEM=block DEVPATH=/block/sda/sda1 PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 PHYSDEVBUS=scsi SEQNUM=1032 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/ Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>

We need to open the gap between congestion on/off a little bit, or we risk burning many cycles continually putting processes on a wait queue only to wake them up again immediately.

The routine ext2_readdir() will, when reading a directory page returns an error, try the next page, without reporting the error to user space. That is bad, and the patch below changes that. In my case the filesystem was damaged, and ext2_readdir wanted to read 60000+ pages and wrote as many error messages to syslog ("attempt to access beyond end"), not what one wants. [no doubt a similar patch is appropriate for ext3]
