check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are inadequate for in-kernel event polling. Both generate media change events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite event loop between the driver and userland event handler. As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the problem. Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after detecting the device doesn't support disk events.

DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive, which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth between the driver and userland event handler. This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent generation is suppressed. This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it occured. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no write permissions will fail with EACCES. A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory. The patch adds a conditional statement to check for create permissions only if the file doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Sachin S. Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on x86_64, in fact early_ioremap is not used at all to setup the initial pagetable on x86_32. Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages. Fix the issue and improve the readability of the code providing two different implementation of mask_rw_pte for x86_32 and x86_64.

Do not add the extra e820 region at a physical address lower than 4G because it breaks e820_end_of_low_ram_pfn(). It is OK for us to move the xen_extra_mem_start up and down because this is the index of the memory that can be ballooned in/out - it is memory not available to the kernel during bootup.

A raid0 array doesn't set 'dev_sectors' as each device might contribute a different number of sectors. So when converting to a RAID4 or RAID5 we need to set dev_sectors as they need the number. We have already verified that in fact all devices do contribute the same number of sectors, so use that number. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We previously needed to set ->queue_lock to match the raid5 device_lock so we could safely use queue_flag_* operations (e.g. for plugging). which test the ->queue_lock is in fact locked. However that need has completely gone away and is unlikely to come back to remove this now-pointless setting. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

nouveau_bo_wr32 expects offset to be in words, but we pass value in bytes, so after commit 73412c38 ("drm/nouveau: allocate kernel's notifier object at end of block") we started to overwrite some memory after notifier buffer object (previously m2mf_ntfy was always 0, so it didn't matter it was a value in bytes).

We need there dma_mmap_coherent or similar (the trickery what snd_pcm_default_mmap does but in some saner way). But this cannot be done at this phase."
