The current PS3 VRAM driver uses msleep() to wait for completion of RSX DMA transfers between system memory and VRAM. Depending on the system timing, the processing delay and overhead of this msleep() call can significantly impact VRAM driver IO. To avoid the condition, add a short duration (200 usec max) udelay() polling loop before entering the msleep() polling loop.

CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s +5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window. a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will nearly have no chance to run. Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally again.

Commit 592b09a4 was different from the tested path, in that it moved the bdi super_block prune from unregister to destroy context. This doesn't fully fix the sync hang bug on unexpected device removal, as need to prune the bdi cache pointer before killing flusher thread.

Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe() routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind' leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.

In this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

This patch presents fixes for the autosuspend feature implementation in sierra usb serial driver in functions sierra_open(), sierra_close() and stop_read_write_urbs(). The patch "sierra_close() must resume the device before it notifies it of a closure" submitted by Oliver Neukum on Wed, October 14 has been merged as fix in sierra_close() function. The bug fix in sierra_open() function restores the autopm interface state on error condition. The bug fix in in stop_read_write_urbs() function assures that both receive and interrupt urbs are recycled.

This patch presents a fix for the autosuspend feature implementation in sierra usb serial driver for function sierra_send_setup(). Because it is possible to call sierra_send_setup() before sierra_open() or after sierra_close() we added a get/put interface activity to assure that the usb control can happen even when the device is autosuspended.
