Fix a bug in the cleanup of an spi_bitbang bus. The workqueue associated with the bus was destroyed before the call to spi_unregister_master. That meant that spi devices on that bus would be unable to do IO in their remove method. The shutdown flag should have been able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set. By waiting to destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices are able to do IO in their remove methods. An added benefit is that neither the shutdown flag nor a wait for the queue of messages to empty is needed. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a user-triggerable oops that was reported by Leonid Ananiev as archived at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337. dio writes invalidate clean pages that intersect the written region so that subsequent buffered reads go to disk to read the new data. If this fails the interface tries to tell the caller that the cache is inconsistent by returning EIO. Before this patch we had the problem where this invalidation failure would clobber -EIOCBQUEUED as it made its way from fs/direct-io.c to fs/aio.c. Both fs/aio.c and bio completion call aio_complete() and we reference freed memory, usually oopsing. This patch addresses this problem by invalidating before the write so that we can cleanly return -EIO before ->direct_IO() has had a chance to return -EIOCBQUEUED. There is a compromise here. During the dio write we can fault in mmap()ed pages which intersect the written range with get_user_pages() if the user provided them for the source buffer. This is a crazy thing to do, but we can make it mostly work in most cases by trying the invalidation again. The compromise is that we won't return an error if this second invalidation fails if it's an AIO write and we have -EIOCBQUEUED. This was tested by having two processes race performing large O_DIRECT and buffered ordered writes. Within minutes ext3 would see a race between ext3_releasepage() and jbd holding a reference on ordered data buffers and would cause invalidation to fail, panicing the box. The test can be found in the 'aio_dio_bugs' test group in test.kernel.org/autotest. After this patch the test passes. Signed-off-by:

This patch fix behaviour in such test scenario: lseek(fd, BIG_OFFSET) write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)) truncate(BIG_OFFSET) truncate(BIG_OFFSET + sizeof(buf)) read(fd, buf...) Because of if file big enough(BIG_OFFSET) we start allocate space by block, ordinary block size > page size, so we should zeroize the rest of block in truncate(except last framgnet, about which VFS should care), to not get garbage, when we extend file. Also patch corrects conversion from pointer to block to physical block number, this helps in case of not common used UFS types. And add to debug output inode number. Signed-off-by:

This fixes "change blocks numbers on the fly" in case when "prepare write page" is in the call chain, in this case some buffers may be not uptodate and not mapped, we should care to map them and load from disk. This patch was tested with: - ufs regressions simple tests - fsx-linux - ltp(20060306) - untar and build kernel Signed-off-by:

This patch corrects work with time in UFS2 case. 1) According to UFS2 disk layout modification/access and so on "time" should be hold in two variables one 64bit for seconds and another 32bit for nanoseconds, at now for some unknown reason we suppose that "inode time" holds in three variables 32bit for seconds, 32bit for milliseconds and 32bit for nanoseconds. 2) We set amount of nanoseconds in "VFS inode" to 0 during read, instead of getting values from "on disk inode"(this should close http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7991).

This removes several pointless exports from drivers/dma/dmaengine.c; the dma_async_memcpy_*() functions are inlined by <linux/dmaengine.h> so those exports are inappropriate. It also moves the existing EXPORT_SYMBOL declarations next to their functions, so it's now trivial to confirm one-to-one correspondence between exports and nonstatic symbols. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding. The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be taken directly. Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices. Signed-off-by:

The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled interrupts could be missed. This patch fixes that by ensuring that the interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when interrupts are enabled from the chip. It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and improves the trace for interrupt events. Thanks to Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> for spotting the issue, Mark Huth <mhuth@mvista.com> for a simpler method and Simon Blake <simon@citylink.co.nz> for testing resources.

The natsemi drivers include functions for enabling and disabling interrupts from the chip but these are not used in all code paths. This patch changes the code paths that touch the interrupt enable register to use the functions. In all cases this adds an extra PCI read to post the operation but since none of these are in fast paths this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Signed-Off-By:

When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address. When this happens as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against other admin actions. This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion while address is changing. Signed-off-by:
