2009-03-25[libata] sata_mv: Implement direct FIS transmission via mv_qc_issue_fis().Mark Lord
This is initially needed to work around NCQ errata, whereby the READ_LOG_EXT command sometimes fails when issued in the traditional (sff) fashion. Portions of this code will likely be reused for implementation of the target mode feature later on. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2009-03-25[libata] sata_mv: Add a new mv_sff_check_status() function to sata_mv.Mark Lord
This is necessary for use with the upcoming "mv_qc_issue_fis()" patch, but is being added separately here for easier code review. When using command issue via the "mv_qc_issue_fis()" mechanism, the initial ATA_BUSY bit does not show in the ATA status (shadow) register. This can confuse libata! So here we add a hook to fake ATA_BUSY for that situation, until the first time a BUSY, DRQ, or ERR bit is seen.

2009-03-25[libata] sata_mv: Tighten up interrupt masking in mv_qc_issue()Mark Lord
so that it doesn't miss any protocols. Handle future cases where a qc is specially marked for polled issue or where a particular chip version prefers interrupts over polling for PIO. This mimics the polling decision logic from ata_sff_qc_issue(). Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-03-25[libata] sata_mv: Enable use of (basic) DMA for ATAPI on GEN_IIE chipsMark Lord
This also gets rid of any need for mv_mode_filter(). Using basic DMA on GEN_IIE requires setting an undocumented bit in an undocumented register. For safety, we clear that bit again when switching back to EDMA mode. To avoid a performance penalty when switching modes, we cache the register in port_priv, as already done for other regs.

2009-03-25[libata] sata_mv: cache frequently-accessed registersMark Lord
Maintain a local (mv_port_priv) cache of frequently accessed registers, to avoid having to re-read them (very slow) on every transistion between EDMA and non-EDMA modes. This speeds up things like flushing the drive write cache, and anything using basic DMA transfers. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-03-25ahci: drop intx manipulation on msi enableTejun Heo
There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable. This is automatically handled by pci. Drop it. This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during boot. However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix. Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever disables IRQ for the controller. However, as this change has slight possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-03-25pata-rb532-cf: drop custom freeze and thawPhil Sutter
I'm not quite sure what freezing and thawing is used for. Tests showed that the port is being frozen at initialisation state and thawed right afterwards, then the functions were not called anymore. Dropping the complete custom code for handling the frozen state seems to work at least for a standard use case including mounting a partition, copying some files in it (in parallel) and finally removing them and unmounting the partition.

2009-03-25pata-rb532-cf: use ata_sff_data_xfer32()Phil Sutter
The biggest difference between rb532_pata_data_xfer() and ata_sff_data_xfer32() is the call to ata_sff_pause() at the end of rb532_pata_data_xfer() which I suppose to be unnecessary since it works without. I've also tested using ata_sff_data_xfer() as replacement, but since we know that the driver supports 32bit IO, using the optimised version should be safe.

2009-03-25pata-rb532-cf: use ata_sff_exec_command()Phil Sutter

2009-03-25pata-rb532-cf: replace rb532_pata_finish_io()Phil Sutter

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

2009-03-23fix ptrace slownessMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

2009-03-23dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat was possible during lookup.

2009-03-22eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headersTyler Hicks
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents(). Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this vulnerability.

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written over and over again until it sticks, so we do that. Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state() at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

2009-03-19aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus contextJeff Moyer
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list (harness/cases/3.p). Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0). The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless" (commit abf137dd7712132ee56d5b3143c2ff61a72a5faa). Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was not found.

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric, wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd. Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not sure is worth it.
