3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures. It's usually okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission failures and after it only power cycling can revive them. Combined with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender, this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain configurations virtually rendering them unusable. This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified. Please take a look at the following bz for related reports. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9913Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Let -EAGAIN from EH device handling routines trigger EH retry without consuming its tries count. This will be used to implement link SPD horkage which requires hardreset to adjust SPD without affecting other EH decisions. As it bypasses the forward progress guarantee provided by the tries count, the requester is responsible for ensuring forward progress.

When link is flaky at high speed, it isn't uncommon for a device to repeatedly fail probing sequence early after successfully negotiating high link speed. This often leads to consecutive hotplug events without successful probing. This patch improves libata EH such that it remembers probing trials and if there have been more than two unsuccessful trials in the past 60 seconds, slows down link speed to 1.5Gbps. As link speed negotiation is the duty of the PHY layer proper, the goal of this fallback mechanism is to provide the last resort when everything else fails, which unfortunately happens not too infrequently, so no fancy 6->3->1.5 speeding down or highest successful transmission speed seen kind of logics (yet).

dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs. dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch achieves this by doing the following. * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head. * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection of the next one.

The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always zero. This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs. This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA devices.

This essentially reverts commit 8edb08ca. It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to walk the vma lists and take page faults etc. Which is a nice idea, but the implementation does not work. Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely and then re-take it as a writelock. However, that meant that the caller possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range. The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally unmapping it). The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding just the read lock. And then just drop the read-lock and return to user space. The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped, and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one vma region. So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions" thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct. Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly some day.

Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection. The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes one more character. This one more character was added to the allocated size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier. This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example a frame line). When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported. When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.

The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it should enable accounting for the resulting shm object. It would then clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case). This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just unnecessary confusion. Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from that. This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite possibly not intentional. But since I didn't want to change semantics in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the new flag semantics. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

As the mmap handler gets called under mmap_sem, and we may grab mmap_sem elsewhere under the socket lock to access user data, we should avoid grabbing the socket lock in the mmap handler. Since the only thing we care about in the mmap handler is for pg_vec* to be invariant, i.e., to exclude packet_set_ring, we can achieve this by simply using a new mutex.
