The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not see a new interrupt. The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all sources quiescent.

Changeset ca17584b ("mac8390: update to net_device_ops") broke mac8390 by adding 8390.o to the link. That meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in mac8390.c and once in 8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. They seem to be of no value since COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS is going away soon. Tested with a Kinetics EtherPort card. Signed-off-by: Finn Thain <fthain@telegraphics.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

The recent rework of the MMU PID handling for non-hash CPUs has a subtle bug in the !SMP "optimized" variant of the PID stealing function. It clears the PID in the mm context before it calls local_flush_tlb_mm(). However, the later will not flush anything if the PID in the context is clear...

In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position. The reshape code updates both at the same time. However since commit 97e4f42d the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed but is not in a position to update reshape_position. So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality reshape code.

The code for checking which bits in the bitmap can be cleared has 2 problems: 1/ it repeatedly takes and drops a spinlock, where it would make more sense to just hold on to it most of the time. 2/ it doesn't make use of some opportunities to skip large sections of the bitmap This patch fixes those. It will only affect CPU consumption, not correctness. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change. Linux relies on this behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot. The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes to PSE and PGE. This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

Since commit 0fd56bb5 ("gianfar: Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in the rx ring back onto the recycle list as-is in case there was a receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD. The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put(). Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned invariant, and should fix this issue.

Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data corruption. Please read the following threads for more information: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783 The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu aliases. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157 However, the above changes are deemed too pervasive for upstream inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables the remap allocator for the time being.

The problem occurs when async_synchronize_full_domain() is called when the async_pending list is not empty. This will cause lowest_running() to return the cookie of the first entry on the async_pending list, which might be nothing at all to do with the domain being asked for and thus cause the domain synchronization to wait for an unrelated domain. This can cause a deadlock if domain synchronization is used from one domain to wait for another. Fix by running over the async_pending list to see if any pending items actually belong to our domain (and return their cookies if they do).

We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing [disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes Berg): CPU 3 CPU 2 CPU 1 suspend/hibernate something: rtnl_lock() device_pm_lock() -> mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx) mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx) linkwatch_work -> rtnl_lock() disable_nonboot_cpus() -> flush CPU 3 workqueue Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that might lead to the registration of new device objects way before disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and early part of device resume. Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release it right after that.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6: [CIFS] Avoid open on possible directories since Samba now rejects them
-
Steve French authored
Small change (mostly formatting) to limit lookup based open calls to file create only. After discussion yesteday on samba-technical about the posix lookup regression, and looking at a problem with cifs posix open to one particular Samba version, Jeff and JRA realized that Samba server's behavior changed in this area (posix open behavior on files vs. directories). To make this behavior consistent, JRA just made a fix to Samba server to alter how it handles open of directories (now returning the equivalent of EISDIR instead of success). Since we don't know at lookup time whether the inode is a directory or file (and thus whether posix open will succeed with most current Samba server), this change avoids the posix open code on lookup open (just issues posix open on creates). This gets the semantic benefits we want (atomicity, posix byte range locks, improved write semantics on newly created files) and file create still is fast, and we avoid the problem that Jeff noticed yesterday with "openat" (and some open directory calls) of non-cached directories to one version of Samba server, and will work with future Samba versions (which include the fix jra just pushed into Samba server). I confirmed this approach with jra yesterday and with Shirish today. Posix open is only called (at lookup time) for file create now. For opens (rather than creates), because we do not know if it is a file or directory yet, and current Samba no longer allows us to do posix open on dirs, we could end up wasting an open call on what turns out to be a dir. For file opens, we wait to call posix open till cifs_open. It could be added here (lookup) in the future but the performance tradeoff of the extra network request when EISDIR or EACCES is returned would have to be weighed against the 50% reduction in network traffic in the other paths.

Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at 24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes. The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually needing the flags. This reverts all or part of the following checkins: cd670599 c549e71d However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a comment to explain that part. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some additional information.
