There are some SATA devices which take relatively long to get out of 0xff status after reset. In libata, this timeout is determined by ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT. Quantum GoVault is the worst requring about 2s for reliable detection. However, because 2s 0xff timeout can introduce rather long spurious delay during boot, libata has been compromising at the next longest timeout of 800ms for HHD424020F7SV00 iVDR drive. Now that parallel scan is in place for common drivers, libata can afford 2s 0xff timeout. Use 2s 0xff timeout if parallel scan is enabled. Please note that the chance of spurious wait is pretty slim w/ working SCR access so this will only affect SATA controllers w/o SCR access which isn't too common these days. Please read the following thread for more information on the GoVault drive. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/14545/focus=14663Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Gary Hade <garyhade@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

In 2009, While running "cache read" performance test of drives behind SII PMP we encountered a "all 5 drives" timeout on more than 30% of the machines under test. This patch reduces the rate by a factor of about 70. Low enough that we didn't care to further investigate the issue. Performance impact with any sort of "normal" use was ~2%+ CPU and less than 1% throughput degradation. Worst case impact (cached read) was 6% IOPS reduction. This is with NCQ off (q=1) but I believe FIS based switching enabled in the SATA driver. The patch disables "Early ACK" in the 3726 port multiplier. "Early ACK" is issued when device sends a FIS to the host (via PMP) and the PMP sends an ACK immediately back to the device - well before the host gets the response. Under worst case IOPs load (cached read test) and more than 2 PMPs connected to a 4-port SATA controller, I suspect the time to service all of the PMPs is exceeding the PMPs ability to keep track of outstanding FIS it owes the Host. Reducing the number of PMPs to 2 (or 1) reduces the frequency by several orders of magnitude. Kudos to Gwendal for initial debugging of this issue. [Any errors in the description are mine, not his.] Patch is currently in production on Google servers.

It turns out different generations of MCPs have differing quirks. * MCP 65-73 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support, forgets to report NCQ * MCP 77-79 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support * MCP 89 : FPDMA AA broken Instead of turngin off FPDMA AA on all NVIDIAs, implement HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA, define additional board IDs and apply necessary quirks. This fixes bko#15481 and the list of quirks is verified by Peer Chen. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15481Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Peer Chen <pchen@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

I've prepared a totally simple patch that, if I did it and measured it correctly, reduces the text size as of the ppc-6xx-size command of pata-mpc52xx by more than 10%, by reducing the rodata size from 0x4a4 to 0x17e bytes. This is simply done by changing the data types of the ATA timing constants. If you are interested at all, and it's worth the trouble, here the details: ppc-6xx-size: text data bss dec hex filename old: 6532 1068 0 7600 1db0 pata-mpc52xx.o new: 5718 1068 0 6786 1a82 pata-mpc52xx.o The (assembler) code itself doesn't really change very much. I double checked the final results inside mpc52xx-ata-apply-timings() and they match. The driver is still working fine of course.

ahci over time has grown a number of board IDs and it's a bit of mess right now. Clean it up such that, * board_id_* now live in a separate enum board_ids and numbers are assigned automatically. * Board IDs assigned to features are separated from the ones assigned to specific implementations and both are ordered alphabetically. * For NV MCPs, define per-generation alias board_ids and assign matching aliases in the pci id table. This makes mcp_linux, 67-73 use board_ahci_mcp65 instead of board_ahci_yesncq. Both are identical in content. * Kill now unused board_ahci_nopmp and board_ahci_yesncq. This patch doesn't cause any functional change but will make future changes to board_ids and quirks much less painful.

According to section 10.3.1 of the AHCI spec, PxCMD.ST must not be set unless there's a device attached. Following this saves us a measurable quantity of power and does not impair hotplug support.

Currently the driver uses host->iomap to store all the iomapped BARs of a PCI device (while AHCI devices actually use just a single memory window). We're going to teach AHCI to work with non-PCI buses, so there are two options to make this work: 1. "fake" host->iomap array for non-PCI devices, and place the needed address at iomap[AHCI_PCI_BAR]; 2. Get rid of host->iomap usage, instead introduce a private mmio field. This patch implements the second option. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

DA8xx OHCI driver fails to load due to failing clk_get() call for the USB 2.0 clock. Arrange matching USB 2.0 clock by the clock name instead of the device. (Adding another CLK() entry for "ohci.0" device won't do -- in the future I'll also have to enable USB 2.0 clock to configure CPPI 4.1 module, in which case I won't have any device at all.)

There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references. This can result in a use after free/double free situation. Task A Task B ------------ ----------- inotify_new_watch() allocate a mark (refcnt == 1) add it to the idr inotify_rm_watch() inotify_remove_from_idr() fsnotify_put_mark() refcnt hits 0, free take reference because we are on idr [at this point it is a use after free] [time goes on] refcnt may hit 0 again, double free The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the idr.

Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219 The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private has no value. Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

Valentin Longchamp authored
The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32 chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost chars. This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.
