- Break out advertisement register verification into a function, tg3_copper_is_advertising_all. - At device probe time, reset PHY if not Serdes and ASF is not enabled. - Add some missing necessary PHY init to PHY probe code as well.

1. Set extended packet length bit in phy register 0x18 shadow register 0 on all chips that support jumbo frames (i.e. all chips except 5705 and its variants). Jumbo frame reception is less reliable (more CRC errors) if this bit is not set. This bit can be set regardless of the current MTU setting. 2. Remove FTQ reset during chip init. This is the best fix for the ASF race condition problem that I mentioned a few months ago. The FTQ reset is redundant as it is already reset during GRC reset.

This fixes a minor problem with fcntl. get_close_on_exec() uses FD_ISSET() to determine the fd state, but this is not guaranteed to be either 0 of FD_CLOEXEC. Make that explicit. Also, the argument of set_close_on_exec() is being AND'ed with the literal constant 1. Make it use an explicit FD_CLOEXEC test.

Fixed the locking scheme. The need of extra locking was caused by the fact that hpfs_write_inode() must update directory entry; since HPFS directories are implemented as b-trees, we must provide protection both against rename() (to make sure that we update the entry in right directory) and against rebalancing of the parent. Old scheme had both deadlocks and races - to start with, we had no protection against rename()/unlink()/rmdir(), since (a) locking parent was done without any warranties that it will remain our parent and (b) check that we still have a directory entry (== have positive nlink) was done before we tried to lock the parent. Moreover, iget serialization killed two steps ago gave immediate deadlocks if iget() of parent had triggered another hpfs_write_inode(). New scheme introduces another per-inode semaphore (hpfs-only, obviously) protecting the reference to parent. It's taken on rename/rmdir/unlink victims and inode being moved by rename. Old semaphores are taken only on parent(s) and only after we grab one(s) of the new kind. hpfs_write_inode() gets the new semaphore on our inode, checks nlink and if it's non-zero grabs parent and takes the old semaphore on it. Order among the semaphores of the same kind is arbitrary - the only function that might take more than one of the same kind is hpfs_rename() and it's serialized by VFS. We might get away with only one semaphore, but then the ordering issues would bite us big way - we would have to make sure that child is always locked before parent (hpfs_write_inode() leaves no other choice) and while that's easy to do for almost all operations, rename() is a bitch - as always. And per-superblock rwsem giving rename() vs. write_inode() exclusion on hpfs would make the entire thing too baroque for my taste. ->readdir() takes no locks at all (protection against directory modifications is provided by VFS exclusion), ditto for ->lookup(). ->llseek() on directories switched to use of (VFS) ->i_sem, so it's safe from directory modifications and ->readdir() is safe from it - no hpfs locks are needed here.

We used to have GFP_KERNEL kmalloc() done by the code that held hpfs lock on directory. That could trigger a call of hpfs_write_inode() and deadlock; fixed by switch to GFP_NOFS. Same for hpfs inodes themselves - hpfs_write_inode() calls iget() and that could trigger both the deadlocks (avoidable with very baroque locking scheme) and stack overflows (unavoidable unless we kill potential recursion here).

Killed the nightmares in hpfs iget handling. Since in some (fairly frequent) cases hpfs_read_inode() could avoid any IO (basically, lookup hitting a native HPFS regular file can get all data from directory entry) hpfs had a flag passed to that sucker. Said flag had been protected by a semaphore lookalike made out of spit and duct-tape and callers of iget looked like hpfs_lock_iget(sb, flag); result = iget(sb, ino); hpfs_unlock_iget(sb); Since now we are calling hpfs_read_inode() directly (note that calling it without hpfs_lock_iget() would simply break) we can forget all that crap and get rid of the flag - caller knows what it wants to call. BTW, that had killed one of the last sleep_on() users in fs/*/*.

Preparation to hpfs iget locking cleanup - remaining iget() callers replaced with explicit iget_locked() + call hpfs_read_inode()/unlock_new_inode() if inode is new.

1) common initialization for all paths in hpfs_read_inode() taken into a separate helper (hpfs_init_inode()) 2) hpfs mkdir(),create(),mknod() and symlink() do not bother with iget() anymore - they call new_inode(), do initializations and insert new inode into icache. Handling of OOM failures cleaned up - if we can't allocate in-core inode, bail instead of corrupting the filesystem. Allocating in-core inode early also avoids one of the deadlocks here (hpfs_write_inode() from memory pressure by kmem_cache_alloc() could deadlock on attempt to lock our directory). 3) hpfs_write_inode() marks the inode dirty again in case if it fails to iget() its parent directory. Again, OOM could trigger fs corruption here.

hpfs_{lock,unlock}_{2,3}inodes() killed; all places that take more than one lock have ->i_sem held by VFS on all inodes involved and all hpfs per-inode locks are of the same type. IOW, we can replace these guys with multiple hpfs_lock_inode() - order doesn't matter here.

From: "Jose R. Santos" <jrsantos@austin.ibm.com> After discussing it with Neil, he fell that the original justification for taking the kernel_lock on find_exported_dentry() is not longer valid and should be safe to remove. This patch fixes an issue while running SpecSFS where under memory pressure, shrinking dcache cause find_exported_dentry() to allocate disconnected dentries that later needed to be properly connected. The connecting part of the code was done with BKL taken which cause a sharp drop in performance during iterations and profiles showing 75% time spent on find_exported_dentry(). After applying the patch, time spent on the function is reduce to <1%. I have tested this on an 8-way machine with 56 filesystems for several days now with no problems using ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs.

From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org> The following patch comes from Paul Mackerras. Earlier on in 2.6, arch/ppc/boot/utils/mkprep.c was changed slightly so that it would build and work on Solaris. Doing this required changing from filling out pointers to an area to filling out a local copy of the struct. However, a memcpy was left out, and the info is only needed on some machines to boot. The following adds in the missing memcpy and allows for IBM PRePs to boot from a raw floppy again.
