The d_instantiate hook for Smack can hang on the root inode of a filesystem if the file system code has not really done all the set-up. Fuse is known to encounter this problem. This change detects an attempt to instantiate a root inode and addresses it early in the processing, before any attempt is made to do something that might hang.

Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT, and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc20761, "i386: add sleazy FPU optimization". Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

Venki Pallipadi authored
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code resilient to mtrr lookup problems. Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr lookup failure. pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings. (2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default. In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple users.

The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms! Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency. pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt ) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later! At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call. pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay) Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem. In git commit 35d5d08a, Andrew Morton placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8). Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum time. Delaying longer should not be an issue. [ Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for spotting that cpu wasn't updated, and to place the rep_nop between preempt_enabled/disable. ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Cc: akpm@osdl.org Cc: Clark Williams <clark.williams@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: "Luis Claudio R.

- Make ata_sff_altstatus private so nobody uses it by mistake - Drop the 400nS delay from it Add ata_sff_irq_status - encapsulates the IRQ check logic This function keeps the existing behaviour for altstatus using devices. I actually suspect the logic was wrong before the changes but -rc isn't the time to play with that ata_sff_sync - ensure writes hit the device Really we want an io* operation for 'is posted' eg ioisposted(ioaddr) so that we can fix the nasty delay this causes on most systems. - ata_sff_pause - 400nS delay Ensure the command hit the device and delay 400nS - ata_sff_dma_pause Ensure the I/O hit the device and enforce an HDMA1:0 transition delay. Requires altstatus register exists, BUG if not so we don't risk corruption in MWDMA modes. (UDMA the checksum will save your backside in theory) The only other complication then is devices with their own handlers. rb532 can use dma_pause but scc needs to access its own altstatus register for internal errata workarounds so directly call the drivers own altstatus function.

* Differentiate between bay devices in dock stations and others: - When an ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST appears, just signal uevent to userspace (that is when the optional eject button on a bay device is pressed/pulled) giving the possibility to unmount file systems and to clean up. Also, only send uevent in case we get an EJECT_REQUEST without doing anything else. In other cases, you'll get an add/remove event because libata attaches/detaches the device. - In case of a dock event, which in turn signals an ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST, immediately detach the device, because it may already have been gone * In case of an ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE/BUS_CHECK, evaluate _STA to check if the device has been plugged or unplugged. If plugged, hotplug it, if unplugged, just signal event to userspace (initial patch by Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>) * Call ACPI _EJ0 for detached devices Signed-off-by: Holger Macht <hmacht@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers. Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the proper operations. This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid blackfin losing features in this release.

Both the PNP/PCI conflict detection quirk and the PNP system driver must use the same mechanism to mark resources as disabled. I think it's best to keep the resource and to keep the type bit (IORESOURCE_MEM, etc), so that we match the list from firmware as closely as possible.
