      [PATCH] 3ware driver update for 2.5.6-pre3 · e4a89040
      Adam Radford authored
       - Fix bug in tw_aen_complete() where aen's could be lost.
         Fix tw_aen_drain_queue() to display useful info at init.
         Set tw_host->max_id for 12 port cards.
         Add ioctl support for raw command packet post from userspace
         with sglist fragments (parameter and io).
       - Fix read capacity to under report by 1 sector to fix get
         last sector ioctl.
       - Fix bug where more AEN codes weren't coming out during
         driver initialization.
         Improved handling of PCI aborts.
       - Fix bug in tw_findcards() where AEN code could be lost.
         Increase timeout in tw_aen_drain_queue() to 30 seconds.
       - Re-write raw command post with data ioctl method.
         Remove raid5 bounce buffers for raid5 for 6XXX for kernel 2.5
         Add tw_map/unmap_scsi_sg/single_data() for kernel 2.5
         Replace io_request_lock with host_lock for kernel 2.5
         Set max_cmd_len to 16 for 3dm for kernel 2.5
       - Set host->max_sectors back up to 256.
       - Modified pci parity error handling/clearing from config space
         during initialization.
       - Better handling of request sense opcode and sense information
         for failed commands.  Add tw_decode_sense().
         Replace all mdelay()'s with scsi_sleep().
       - Revert mdelay's and scsi_sleep's, this caused problems on
         some SMP systems.
       - Add pci_set_dma_mask(), rewrite kmalloc()/virt_to_bus() to
         pci_alloc/free_consistent().

      [PATCH] 2.4.18, 2.5.5: I/O APIC through-8259A mode IRQ 0 routing · 04a868aa
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
       There is a problem with the through-8259A mode for IRQ 0 on I/O APIC
      systems.  Depending on correctness of an MP table, IRQ 0 routing is either
      not registered at all or registered at a wrong pin.  As a result the 8254
      timer IRQ only works by an accident (it's edge-triggered and never
      disabled/enabled so it happens to survive this incorrect configuration).
      A visible effect is you can't change the affinity for IRQ 0.
      
       Following is a patch that fixes both cases referred to above.  The code
      looks obvious but it was additionally run-time tested just in case.  The
      issue is serious -- please apply the patch ASAP.  As no changes were done
      to io_apic.c since the development fork, the patch applies cleanly both to
      2.4 and to 2.5.
      
       Credit goes to Joe for discovering the affinity problem and providing a
      fix proposal (incorporated in the final one).

      [PATCH] 2.5.6-pre2 IDE cleanup 16 · 24ae9cff
      Martin Dalecki authored
      There is no such a thing like a ide-clean-15. Never was.  But here comes
      what has been done in ide-clean-16:
      
      - Apply a patch for the initialization of the second PIIX channel.
         Found by Daniel Quinlan <quinlan@transmeta.com>
      
      - Apply a patch for the DMA initialization of the serverworks chip.
         Ken Brownfield <brownfld@irridia.com>
      
      - Make the ata_operations methods immune against device type drivers,
         which donot provide them by separating the access to them out. Audit
         them all.
      
      - Resynchronize with 2.5.6-pre1.
      
      - Remove unused IDE_DRIVE_CMD, IDE_DRIVE_TASK, IDE_DRIVE_TASK_MASK,
         IDE_DRIVE_TASKFILE macros.
      
      - Disable configuration of the task file stuff. It is going to go away
         and will be replaced by a truly abstract interface based on
         functionality and *not* direct mess-up of hardware.
      
      - Resync with 2.5.6-pre2.
      
      - Add HPT entries to the fall-back list, since otherwise the driver
         won'trecognize the drives. We will have to make this the default
         behavior for allnot recognized host chip types.
      
      - Fix compilation with no PCI host chip support enabled.
      
      - Apply the overflow fixes for HPT366 by Vojtech Pavlik.
      
      - Kill the one-shoot functions ide_wait_cmd_taks() ide_wait_cmd() by
         moving them to the places where they are actually used. Fix a
         potential buffer overflow on the way.
      
      - Fix usage of ide.c as module. Thanks to Adam J. Richter for figuring
         out what was wrong.
      
      - Various cleanups all along as well as removal of TONS of
         unfinished/dead code.
      
      I think it's sometimes better to remove stuff, which isn't there,
      instead of hoping for a "magical day" where it will be finished.

      [PATCH] Re: PPP and shared zlib code in 2.5 · 09c1076e
      Corey Minyard authored
      Ok, I found it.  The problem was in the decompression code.
      
      In inflate.c, in the routine zlib_inflate(), it reuses the passed-in "f"
      parameter as a return value, but the PPP packet compression stuff needs
      that return value later.

      [PATCH] 2.5: preempt on UP critical fix · e868c063
      Robert Love authored
      During 2.5.5-pre schedule_tail was optimized away under UP.  We need it
      for preempt-kernel, too, since it decrements the preempt_count to 0
      coming off do_fork.
      
      Without this patch, CONFIG_PREEMPT + !CONFIG_SMP does not gain one very
      much.

      [PATCH] death of is_mounted() and aother fixes · 75e9c9e1
      Alexander Viro authored
      *	new functions - bd_claim(bdev, holder) and bd_release(bdev).
      	bd_claim(bdev, holder) fails is device is already claimed by
      	somebody else; bd_release(bdev) gives device up.
      
      *	get_sb_bdev() claims device for fs_type; it means that we don't need
      	to look through entire least of superblocks anymore - just through
      	the list of superblocks belonging to that type (i.e. the same thing
      	we do for non-block filesystems; that will allow to merge quite a
      	bit of code afterwards).
      
      *	sys_swapon claims device for itself;  free exclusion with mounting,
      	end of problems with bogus set_blocksize().
      
      *	is_mounted() and is_swap_partition() are gone - what we actually
      	wanted was "try to claim device for ourselves".  Which we can do
      	now - without races inherent to is_mounted()/is_swap_partition().
      
      *	RAID lock_rdev() claims device for itself.  I.e. we get rid of
      	is_mounted() in there (BTW, is_swap_partition() was missing) and
      	we get protection both ways - not only RAID won't take an already
      	mounted device, but mount won't stomp on a device claimed by RAID.
      
      There are other places that would benefit from the same (e.g. ext3 with
      external journal almost definitely wants to claim device for itself).
      
      Notice that it's a cooperative thing - neither open() nor raw device stuff
      claim the block device, so they don't care if device is mounted, etc.  So
      we don't break fsck and friends - exclusion is between those who know that
      they want that exclusion.

      [PATCH] 2.5.6-pre2 - Coda fixes and cleanups · 839e0e16
      Jan Harkes authored
      Here is a batch of accumulated bugfixes and cleanups for the Coda kernel
      module. Patch is against 2.5.6-pre2, I could also send these as separate
      patches.
      
      bugfix: Fix coda_dentry_revalidate bug
      
          Due to a bad test, coda_dentry_revalidate was forcing revalidation
          of cacheable inodes, and allowed caching of non-cacheable inodes.
      
      bugfix: Corrected i_mtime/i_ctime setting
      
          i_mtime and i_ctime were not always updated when writing to a file,
          or when modifying inode attributes.
      
      cleanup/optimization: Avoid getattr upcalls
      
          We can use coda_iget directly instead of coda_cnode_make when an
          upcall returns attributes and avoid the getattr upcall altogether.
      
      cleanup: Removed debugging messages
      
          CDEBUG macros haven't been useful ever since the initial development
          when they were introduced. They are too verbose for debugging
          purposes. Removing these saves about a third of the compiled size of
          the module.
      
          Removed print_entry variable that was used by ENTRY/EXIT macros
          which are already gone.
      
      cleanup/optimization: Readdir simplification
      
          Relying on the fact that the pagecache is already buffering far more
          efficiently, simplified coda_readdir implementation. We can now fill
          the complete userbuffer instead of returning after reading only 2KB.
      
          Passing dir entry types that are present in the venus_dirent
          structure to the user as well.
      
      cleanup: Removed redundant permissions statistics counters.
      
          The permission check count is about identical to the 'permission'
          field in the VFS stats, and the permission hit counter can trivially
          be derived from upcall_stats.access - vfs_stats.permission. Removed
          these redundant counters.
      
      cleanup: Removed useless test for c_flags in coda_revalidate_inode.
      
          We already know c_flags is set due to earlier tests.
