2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9475): cx18: Disable write retries for registers that always change ↵Andy Walls
- part 1. cx18: Disable write retries for registers that always change - part 1. Interrupt related registers will likely not read back the value we just wrote. Disable retries for these registers for now to avoid accidently discarding interrupts. More intelligent read back verification criteria are needed for these and other registers (e.g. GPIO line registers), which will be addressed in subsequent changes.

2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9372): Minor fixes to the saa7110 driverJean Delvare
* Apparently the author of the saa7110 driver was confused by the number of outputs returned by DECODER_GET_CAPABILITIES. Of course a decoder chip has no analog ouputs, but it must have at least one digital output. * Fix an off-by-one error when checking the input value of DECODER_SET_INPUT.

2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9357): cx88-dvb: Fix Oops in case i2c bus failed to registerMatthias Schwarzott
There already is an report at kernel bugzilla about this issue: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9455 When enabling extra checks for the i2c-bus of cx88 based cards by loading i2c_algo_bit with bit_test=1 this may trigger an oops when loading cx88_dvb. This is caused by the extra check code that detects that the sda-line is stuck high and thus does not register the i2c-bus. cx88-dvb however does not check if the i2c-bus is valid and just uses core->i2c_adap to attach dvb frontend modules. This leads to an oops at the first call to i2c_transfer: $ modprobe i2c_algo_bit bit_test=1 $ modprobe cx8802 cx88/2: cx2388x MPEG-TS Driver Manager version 0.0.6 loaded cx88[0]: quirk: PCIPCI_NATOMA -- set TBFX cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9202, board: Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus DVB-S [card=37,autodetected], frontend(s): 1 cx88[0]: TV tuner type 4, Radio tuner type -1 cx88[0]: SDA stuck high! cx88[0]: i2c register FAILED input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus as /class/input/input5 cx88[0]/2: cx2388x 8802 Driver Manager cx88-mpeg driver manager 0000:00:10.2: enabling device (0154 -> 0156) cx88-mpeg driver manager 0000:00:10.2: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKD] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:00:10.2, rev: 5, irq: 9, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfb000000 cx8802_probe() allocating 1 frontend(s) cx88/2: cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.6 loaded cx88/2: registering cx8802 driver, type: dvb access: shared cx88[0]/2: subsystem: 0070:9202, board: Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus DVB-S [card=37] cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based DVB/ATSC card BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000 IP: [<e084d4ef>] :i2c_core:i2c_transfer+0x1f/0x80 *pde = 00000000 Modules linked in: cx88_dvb(+) cx8802 cx88xx ir_common i2c_algo_bit tveeprom videobuf_dvb btcx_risc mga drm ipv6 fscpos eeprom nfsd exportfs stv0299 b2c2_flexcop_pci b2c2_flexcop cx24123 s5h1420 ves1x93 dvb_ttpci dvb_core saa7146_vv saa7146 videobuf_dma_sg videobuf_core videodev v4l1_compat ttpci_eeprom lirc_serial lirc_dev usbhid rtc uhci_hcd 8139too i2c_piix4 i2c_core usbcore evdev Pid: 4249, comm: modprobe Not tainted (2.6.27-gentoo #3) EIP: 0060:[<e084d4ef>] EFLAGS: 00010296 CPU: 0 EIP is at i2c_transfer+0x1f/0x80 [i2c_core] EAX: 00000000 EBX: ffffffa1 ECX: 00000002 EDX: d6c71e3c ESI: d80cd050 EDI: d8093c00 EBP: d6c71e20 ESP: d6c71e0c DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9356): [PATCH] saa7134: fix resource map sanity check conflictSuresh Siddha
Impact: driver could possibly stomp on resources outside of its scope {mchehab@redhat.com: I got two versions of the same patch (identical, except for whitespacing). One authored by Andy Burns and another authored by Suresh Siddha. Due to that, I'm applying the one that has less CodingStyle errors. I'm also adding both comments and the SOB's for both patches, since they are both interesting} Suresh Siddha commented: Alexey Fisher reported: > resource map sanity check conflict: 0xcfeff800 0xcff007ff 0xcfe00000 > 0xcfefffff PCI Bus 0000:01 BAR base is located in the middle of the 4K page and the hardcoded size argument makes the request span two pages causing the conflict. Fix the hard coded size argument in ioremap(). Andy Burns commented: I have already sent this patch on the linux-dvb list, but it didn't get much attention, so re-sending direct, I hope you all don't mind. While attempting to run mythtv in a xen domU, I encountered problems loading the driver for my saa7134 card, with an error from ioremap(). This error was due to the driver allocating an incorrectly sized mmio area, which was trapped by xen's permission checks, but this would go un-noticed on a kernel without xen. My card has a 1K sized mmio area, I've had information that other cards have 2K areas, perhaps others have different sizes, yet the driver always attempts to map 4K. I realise that the granularity of mapping is the page size, which typically would be 4K, but unless the card's base address happens to fall on a 4K boundary (mine does not) then the base+4K will end up spanning two pages, and this is when the error occurs under xen. My patch uses the pci_resource_len macro to determine the size required for the user's particular card, instead of the hardcoded 4K value. I've tested with a couple of printk() inside ioremap() that the start address and size do get rounded to the closest page boundary. With this patch I am able to successfully load the saa7134 driver and run mythtv under xen with my card, subject to correct pollirq settings in case of shared IRQ, I am still seeing occasional DMA panics, which I think are related to swiotlb handling by dom0/domU, usually the panic occurs when changing mux, once tuned to a mux, 12 hour continuous recordings are possible without errors.

2008-11-10libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patchesTejun Heo
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to use block layer tagging. 43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with the current conversion. The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the frailty of ATA controllers. So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc allocation.

2008-11-09Fix nfsd truncation of readdir resultsDoug Nazar
Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3 filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250 entries, even if the directory was larger. Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem. It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but with more entries in the directory still to be read. Before 8d7c4203 (but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit unset. That could cause a performance regression (because the client would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory), but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client to send another readdir. After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit made this a correctness problem. So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that we loop until buf.used==0. The following seems to do the right thing and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result until the buffer is full. Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and there are no more short buffers.

2008-11-09net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collectorMiklos Szeredi
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is sufficient.

sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling variant of __cycles_2_ns(). Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already. The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-08sched: improve sched_clock() performanceIngo Molnar
in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for 20% of the system overhead: 659567 system_call 41222.9375 686796 schedule 435.7843 718382 __switch_to 665.1685 823875 switch_mm 4526.7857 1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412 9761990 total 2.8468 this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before and after reading the TSC. But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use them in vget_cycles(). This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-08Staging: only build the tree if we really want toGreg Kroah-Hartman
This Kconfig change allows the common 'make allmodconfig' and 'make allyesconfig' build options to skip the staging tree, which is probably what you want to have happen anyway. This makes the linux-next developer's life a lot easier so he doesn't have to worry about changes that break the staging tree, that's for me to worry about...

2008-11-07[IA64] Reserve elfcorehdr memory in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMPJay Lan
IA64 kdump kernel failed to initialize /proc/vmcore in 2.6.28-rc2. A bug was introduced in this patch commit: d9a9855d0b06ca6d6cc92596fedcc03f8512e062 always reserve elfcore header memory in crash kernel The problem was that the call to reserve_elfcorehdr() should be placed in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather than in CONFIG_CRASH_KERNEL, which does not exist.
