2006-11-13[PATCH] SCSI core: always store >= 36 bytes of INQUIRY dataAlan Stern
This patch (as810c) copies a minimum of 36 bytes of INQUIRY data, even if the device claims that not all of them are valid. Often badly behaved devices put plausible data in the Vendor, Product, and Revision strings but set the Additional Length byte to a small value. Using potentially valid data is certainly better than allocating a short buffer and then reading beyond the end of it, which is what we do now.

2006-11-13[PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocksPavel Emelianov
While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a lockup: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */ note_interrupt() misrouted_irq() handle_IRQ_event() if (...) local_irq_enable_in_hardirq(); /* interrupts are enabled from now */ ... __do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */ spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */ Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like this can also take place: 1CPU: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */ misrouted_irq() for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) { spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */ if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) { 2CPU: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */ misrouted_irq() for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) { spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */ if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) { As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock. This issue is only theoretical. I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.

On sparc64, after probing the device, we'll delete the PCI device via pci_remove_bus_device() if we cannot find the firmware device tree node corresponding to it. This is fine, but at this point the sysfs files for the PCI device won't be setup yet. So we should not try to do anything in pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files() if pci_sysfs_init() has not run yet.

2006-11-11[XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.David Chinner
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying to push the inode it was currently unpinning. To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux inode to the xfs inode.

2006-11-10[POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizesJohn Rose
The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware. RTAS assumes 4k for flash block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure, even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement. This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to RTAS. The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with 4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for the flash blocks and lists. The 4k alignment requirement is specified in PAPR. Signed-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-11-08[PATCH] htirq: refactor so we only have one function that writes to the chipEric W. Biederman
This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from the hardware. Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a bit. This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the architecture read/write routines to update this code. There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize the htirq as masked. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Some more errors from the IPMI send message command are retryable, but are not being retried by the IPMI code. Make sure they get retried.

2006-11-08[PATCH] IPMI: Clean up the waiting message queue properly on unloadCorey Minyard
A wrong function was being used to free a list; this fixes the problem. Otherwise, an oops at unload time was possible. But not likely, since you can't have any users when you unload the modules and it is very hard to get messages into this queue without users.

2006-11-08[PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point, so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period. Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to find these last remaining users. Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the meantime. Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is no longer a need to change the binary interface at all. Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with the removal of sys_sysctl. So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code in by default. With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about 5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.
