commit 9c770108 Author: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jan 22 14:01:34 2008 +0800 scsi: use class iteration api Isn't a correct replacement for the original hand rolled host lookup. The problem is that class_find_child would get a reference to the host's class device which is never released. Since the host class device holds a reference to the host gendev, the host can never be freed. In 2.6.26 we started using class_find_device, and this function also gets a reference to the device, so we end up with an extra ref and the host will not get released. This patch adds a put_device to balance the class_find_device() get. I kept the scsi_host_get in scsi_host_lookup, because the target layer is using scsi_host_lookup and it looks like it needs the SHOST_DEL check.

Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> If you delay 30s or more before mounting a CD after inserting it then the kernel has the wrong value for the CD size. http://marc.info/?t=121276133000001 The problem is in sr_test_unit_ready(): the function eats unit attentions without adjusting the sdev->changed status. This means that when the CD signals changed media via unit attention, we can ignore it. Fix by making sr_test_unit_ready() adjust the changed status.

Minor source code cleanup of page flags in mm/page_alloc.c. Move the definition of the groups of bits to page-flags.h. The purpose of this clean up is that the next patch will conditionally add a page flag to the groups. Doing that in a header file is cleaner than adding #ifdefs to the C code.

Commit 30f2f0eb ("block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>") extended blk_lookup_devt() to be able to look up partitions that had not yet been registered, but in the process made the assumption that the '&block_class.devices' list only contains disk devices and that you can do 'dev_to_disk(dev)' on them. That isn't actually true. The block_class device list also contains the partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a 'dev_to_disk()' on those. So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member. This makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this file. [ We may want to do an alternate version that knows to handle _either_ whole-disk devices or partitions, but for now this is the minimal fix for a series of crashes reported by Mariusz Kozlowski in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/25/25 and Ingo in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/9/39 ] Reported-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@nonada.if.usp.br> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In 2.6.26, we added some support for send with invalidate work requests, including a device capability flag to indicate whether a device supports such requests. However, the support was incomplete: the completion structure was not extended with a field for the key contained in incoming send with invalidate requests. Full support for memory management extensions (send with invalidate, local invalidate, fast register through a send queue, etc) is planned for 2.6.27. Since send with invalidate is not very useful by itself, just remove the IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV bit before the 2.6.26 final release; we will add an IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS bit in 2.6.27, which makes things simpler for applications, since they will not have quite as confusing an array of fine-grained bits to check.

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a network driver to have such a dependency. Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task -ever- used VMX. This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then "lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example) and then called get_context. It can end up with VMX enabled and the registers containing values from some other task.

On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely min_t(int, npages, PAGE_SIZE / sizeof (struct page *)) will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()"). This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(), since the code boils down to: while (npages) { ret = get_user_pages(...); npages -= ret; } Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of npages is never truncated. The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this, and such a process could already cause lots of mischief. But it does let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued. It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not. The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be pending packets which do not get sent. New semantics: tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being transferred right now set the flag right at the place where data are copied into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it was succesful tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments Tested-by: Michal Rokos <michal.rokos@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
