Hello, Jeff.

This patch adds ATA errors & exceptions chapter to
Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl.  As suggested, the chapter is
placed before low level driver specific chapters.  Contents are
unchanged from the last posting.

This is my libata compatible low level driver for the Marvell SATA
family.  Currently it runs in DMA mode on a 6081 chip.

The 5xxx series parts are not yet DMA capable in this driver because
the registers have differences that haven't been accounted for yet.
Basically, I'm focused on the 6xxx series right now.  I apologize for
those seeing problems on the 5xxx series, I've not had a chance to
look at those problems yet.

For those curious, the previous bug causing the SCSI timeout and
subsequent panics was caused by an improper clear of hc_irq_cause in
mv_host_intr().

This version is running well in my environment (6081 chips,
with/without SW raid1) and is showing equal or better performance
compared to the Marvell driver (mv_sata) in my initial tests (timed
dd's of reads/writes to/from memory/disk).

I still need to look at the causes of occasional problems such as this:

ata11: translating stat 0x35 err 0x00 to sense
ata11: status=0x35 { DeviceFault SeekComplete CorrectedError Error }
SCSI error : <10 0 0 0> return code = 0x8000002
Current sda: sense key Hardware Error
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 3155010

and this, seen at init time:

ATA: abnormal status 0x80 on port 0xE093911C

but they aren't showstoppers.

This adds suspend support for the Radeon M11 chip in 12" iBooks
manufactured after July 2005.  I don't know if the new 14" iBooks also
have that chip, so they might also be supported.

The chip identifies itself as "RV350 NV" (pci id 0x4e56), revision 0x80.
Apple calls it "Snowy", xfree86 names it "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M11)
NV (AGP)".  So, we seem to be lucky here: The suspend-code for the M10
(which also is a "RV350 NV") works flawless for that chip.

We should always use bitmask ops, rather than depend on some ordering of
the different states.  With the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag, the inequality
doesn't really work.

Oleg Nesterov argues (likely correctly) that this test is unnecessary in
the first place.  However, the minimal fix for now is to at least make
it work in the presense of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE.  Waiting for consensus
from Roland & co on potential bigger cleanups.

The old 550Mhz titanium powerbook can switch to a lower frequency
(500Mhz). A user has been repeately reporting overtemp conditions on his
machine at high speed so this simple patch adds support to PowerMac
cpufreq for this machine. The difference in frequency isn't big but seem
enough to fix that user's problems. The patch has been around for some
time now and doesn't seem to cause any problem, so I suppose it could go
in now.

The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is
not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in
2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in
numa_init_array().  cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set
properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but
confusing the numa slab in the process.

Here is a quick fix for this.  The right fix obviously is to have
cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array().  The following patch
will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when
cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly.

Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

Fix the BP node_to_cpumask.  2.6.14-rc* broke the boot cpu bit as the
cpu_to_node(0) is now not setup early enough for numa_init_array.
cpu_to_node[] is setup much later at srat_detect_node on acpi srat based
em64t machines.  This seems like a problem on amd machines too, Tested on
em64t though.  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap shows up sanely after
this patch.

The up()/down() orders are incorrect in arch/x86_64/kprobes.c file.
kprobe_mutext is used to protect the free kprobe instruction slot list.
arch_prepare_kprobe applies for a slot from the free list, and
arch_remove_kprobe returns a slot to the free list.  The incorrect up()/down()
orders to operate on kprobe_mutex fail to protect the free list.  If 2 threads
try to get/return kprobe instruction slot at the same time, the free slot list
might be broken, or a free slot might be applied by 2 threads.

Set serialize_io=1 by default.  This is safer and required by seemingly more

Performance of S800 1394b devices may drop by 25...30%.  Therefore make the
parameter's description and dmesg message clearer about performance impact.

Fixes for deadlocks of the ieee1394 and scsi subsystems and long delays in
futile error recovery attempts when SBP-2 devices are removed or drivers are
unloaded.

 - Complete commands quickly with DID_NO_CONNECT if the 1394 node is gone or if
   the 1394 low-level driver was unloaded.
 - Skip unnecessary work in the eh_abort_handler and eh_device_reset_handler if
   the node or 1394 low-level driver is gone.
 - Let scsi's high-level shut down gracefully when sbp2 is being unloaded or
   detached from the 1394 unit. A call to scsi_remove_device is added for this
   purpose, which requires us to store a scsi_device pointer.
 - scsi_device pointer is obtained from slave_alloc hook and cleared by
   slave_destroy. This avoids usage of the pointer after the scsi device was
   deleted e.g. by the user via scsi_mod's sysfs interface.

This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver
interrupt handler.

This error message is bogus for two reasons.  First, it can never occur
given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that
these "unknown" interrupts could never occur.  Second, this code fails to
take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism
through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing".

Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt
occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby
effectively denying use of the console device.  Given its bogosity in the
first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.

It could be a correctness issue too: if filesystem has open() with side
effect, then it should fail before doing the open, not after.

Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't
implemented here", but it still works fine.

Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything.  But hostfs_setattr() ->
set_attr() correctly detects ATTR_SIZE and calls truncate() on the host.  So
we should be safe (using ftruncate() may be better, in case the file is
unlinked on the host, but we aren't sure to have the file open for writing,
and reopening it would cause the same races; plus nobody should expect UML to
be so careful).

So, the warning is wrong, because the current implementation is working.  Al,
am I correct, and can the warning be therefore dropped?
