Shaddy Baddah found an alignment problem with zd1211rw driver at 2007-11-19. This patch fixes it, it is based on the patch proposed by Herbert Xu. The alignment 4 has been the agreed value on the linux-wireless mailing list. Notify that the problem does only affect the old zd1211rw softmac driver and not the zd1211rw-mac80211 driver. Daniel Drake has already provided a patch for the replacement of the softmac driver, which this patch will break. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

Ultimately to implement /proc perfectly we need an implementation of d_revalidate because files and directories can be removed behind the back of the VFS, and d_revalidate is the only way we can let the VFS know that this has happened. Unfortunately the linux VFS can not cope with anything in the path to a mount point going away. So a proper d_revalidate method that calls d_drop also needs to call have_submounts which is moderately expensive, so you really don't want a d_revalidate method that unconditionally calls it, but instead only calls it when the backing object has really gone away. proc generic entries only disappear on module_unload (when not counting the fledgling network namespace) so it is quite rare that we actually encounter that case and has not actually caused us real world trouble yet. So until we get a proper test for keeping dentries in the dcache fix the current d_revalidate method by completely removing it. This returns us to the current status quo. So with CONFIG_NETNS=n things should look as they have always looked. For CONFIG_NETNS=y things work most of the time but there are a few rare corner cases that don't behave properly. As the network namespace is barely present in 2.6.24 this should not be a problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

We have a wifi module connected to the spi bus and got sometimes FIFO overrun errors on the spi bus. After some investigation i found that the driver loads the TCR (transmit count) register before the RCR (receive count). When the transfer list is not empty the atmel_spi_next_message is called while tx and rx are enabled. As soon as the TCR is loaded, hardware starts transfer and causes a rx fifo overrun because the RCR is not loaded yet. Load the RCR before the TCR. After this patch the fifo overrun disapears at out setup.

The esp_reset_cleanup() function is called with the host lock held and invokes starget_for_each_device() which wants to take it too. Here is a fix along the lines of shost_for_each_device()/__shost_for_each_device() adding a __starget_for_each_device() counterpart which assumes the lock has already been taken. Eventually, I think the driver should get modified so that more work is done as a softirq rather than in the interrupt context, but for now it fixes a bug that causes the spinlock debugger to fire. While at it, it fixes a small number of cosmetic problems with starget_for_each_device() too. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Acked-by: David S.

The follow_hugetlb_page() fix I posted (merged as git commit 5b23dbe8) missed one case. If the pte is present, but not writable and write access is requested by the caller to get_user_pages(), the code will do the wrong thing. Rather than calling hugetlb_fault to make the pte writable, it notes the presence of the pte and continues. This simple one-liner makes sure we also fault on the pte for this case. Please apply.

Third rendition of FireWire OHCI 1.0 Isochronous Receive support, using a zer-copy method similar to OHCI 1.1 which puts the IR data payload directly into the userspace buffer. The zero-copy implementation eliminates the video artifacts, audio popping, and buffer underrun problems seen with version 1 of this patch, as well as fixing a regression in OHCI 1.1 support introduced by version 2 of this patch. Successfully tested in OHCI 1.1 mode on the following chipsets: - NEC uPD72847 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI) - Ti XIO2200(A) (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCIe) - Ti TSB41AB2 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI on SB Audigy) - Apple UniNorth 2 (rev 81), OHCI 1.1 (PowerBook G4 onboard) Successfully tested in OHCI 1.0 mode on the following chipsets: - Agere FW323 (rev 06), OHCI 1.0 (Mac Mini onboard) - Agere FW323 (rev 06), OHCI 1.0 (PCI) - Via VT6306 (rev 46), OHCI 1.0 (PCI) - NEC OrangeLink (rev 01), OHCI 1.0 (PCI) - NEC uPD72847 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI) - Ti XIO2200(A) (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCIe) The bulk of testing was done in an x86_64 system, but was also successfully sanity-tested on other systems, including a PPC(32) PowerBook G4 and an i686 EPIA M10k. Crude benchmarking (watching top during capture) puts the cpu utilization during capture on the EPIA's 1GHz Via C3 processor around 13%, which is down from 30% with the v1 code. Some implementation details: To maintain the same userspace API as dual-buffer mode, we set up two descriptors for every incoming packet. The first is an INPUT_MORE descriptor, pointing to a buffer large enough to hold just the packet's iso headers, immediately followed by an INPUT_LAST descriptor, pointing to a chunk of the userspace buffer big enough for the packet's data payload. With this setup, each incoming packet fills in these two descriptors in a manner that very closely emulates dual-buffer receive, to the point where the bulk of the handle_ir_* code is now identical between the two (and probably primed for some restructuring to share code between them). The only caveat I have at the moment is that neither of my OHCI 1.0 Via VT6307-based FireWire controllers work particularly well with this code for reasons I have yet to figure out.

PowerMac and CHRP/BriQ platforms have quirks to switch some IDE controllers from legacy mode to fully native mode. Those quirks however will not work properly anymore due to a change to the generic code to better handle legacy IDE resources. This fixes it by moving those quirk to "early" quirks (so they run before resources are probed for the devices) and clearing all BARs after the conversion to force a reallocation of sane values.

The radix tree based inode caches did away with the inode cluster hashes, replacing them with a bunch of masking and gang lookups on the radix tree. This masking got broken when moving the code to per-ag radix trees and indexing by agino # rather than straight inode number. The result is clustered inode writeback does not cluster and things can go extremely slowly when there are lots of inodes to write. Fix it up by comparing the agino # of the inode we just looked up to the index of the cluster we are looking for.

- calculation of 'page_count' was incorrect as it did not consider the offset of 'mem' into the first page. The logic to bump 'page_count' didn't work if 'len' was <= PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (ie offset = 3k, len = 2k). - setting b_buffer_length to 'len' is incorrect if 'offset' is > 0. Set it to the total length of the buffer. - I suspect that passing a non-aligned address into mem_to_page() for the first page may have been causing issues - don't know but just tidy up that code anyway.

- sanity check for NULL user buffer in xfs_ioc_bulkstat[_compat]() - remove the special case for XFS_IOC_FSBULKSTAT with count == 1. This special case causes bulkstat to fail because the special case uses xfs_bulkstat_single() instead of xfs_bulkstat() and the two functions have different semantics. xfs_bulkstat() will return the next inode after the one supplied while skipping internal inodes (ie quota inodes). xfs_bulkstate_single() will only lookup the inode supplied and return an error if it is an internal inode. - in xfs_bulkstat(), need to initialise 'lastino' to the inode supplied so in cases were we return without examining any inodes the scan wont restart back at zero. - sanity check for valid *ubcountp values. Cannot sanity check for valid ubuffer here because some users of xfs_bulkstat() don't supply a buffer. - checks against 'ubleft' (the space left in the user's buffer) should be against 'statstruct_size' which is the supplied minimum object size. The mixture of checks against statstruct_size and 0 was one of the reasons we were skipping inodes. - if the formatter function returns BULKSTAT_RV_NOTHING and an error and the error is not ENOENT or EINVAL then we need to abort the scan. ENOENT is for inodes that are no longer valid and we just skip them. EINVAL is returned if we try to lookup an internal inode so we skip them too. For a DMF scan if the inode and DMF attribute cannot fit into the space left in the user's buffer it would return ERANGE. We didn't handle this error and skipped the inode. We would continue to skip inodes until one fitted into the user's buffer or we completed the scan. - put back the recalculation of agino (that got removed with the last fix) at the end of the while loop. This is because the code at the start of the loop expects agino to be the last inode examined if it is non-zero. - if we found some inodes but then encountered an error, return success this time and the error next time. If the formatter aborted with ENOMEM we will now return this error but only if we couldn't read any inodes. Previously if we encountered ENOMEM without reading any inodes we returned a zero count and no error which falsely indicated the scan was complete.
