Commit ac95beedf8bc97b24f9540d4da9952f07221c023 (ide: add struct ide_port_ops (take 2)) erroneously converted the driver's dma_timeout() and dma_lost_irq() methods to call the driver's resetproc() method regardless of whether it was defined for this specific controller while it hadn't been defined and hence called for PDC20246. So the dma_clear() method, the successor of dma_timeout(), shouldn't exist and the dma_lost_irq() method should be standard for PDC20246.

The basic problem here that pata_legacy attaches the host, sees if it found any devices and detaches it if none were found. With async probing, it's not waiting until discovery is finished before deciding it has no devices and trying the detach leading to this warning: ata1: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 irq 14 ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at drivers/ata/libata-core.c:6222 ata_host_detach+0x75/0x90() Modules linked in: Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-rc7 #1 Call Trace: [<c01fbb05>] ? ata_host_detach+0x75/0x90 [<c01fbb05>] ? ata_host_detach+0x75/0x90 [<c01139b5>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x45/0x80 [<c01139fa>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0xa/0x10 [<c01fbb05>] ? ata_host_detach+0x75/0x90 [<c02f40e0>] ? legacy_init+0x44e/0x87f [<c02f3c92>] ? legacy_init+0x0/0x87f [<c0101021>] ? _stext+0x21/0x140 [<c01890ff>] ? proc_register+0x2f/0x190 [<c018938c>] ? create_proc_entry+0x5c/0xc0 [<c0135ebe>] ? register_irq_proc+0x6e/0x90 [<c02e6484>] ? kernel_init+0x6e/0xbf [<c02e6416>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0xbf [<c01031d7>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ---[ end trace ef1ee36e873ae3a0 ]--- Because it detaches before the probe is complete.

2009-06-04drivers/char/mem.c: avoid OOM lockup during large reads from /dev/zeroSalman Qazi
While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows: #!/bin/bash for i in `seq 1 20`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=1073741824 count=1 & done wait on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes, the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write. The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by 557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page. The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes. To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during /dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

2009-06-04drm: Hook up DPMS property handling in drm_crtc.c. Add ↵Keith Packard
drm_helper_connector_dpms. Making the drm_crtc.c code recognize the DPMS property and invoke the connector->dpms function doesn't remove any capability from the driver while reducing code duplication. That just highlighted the problem with the existing DPMS functions which could turn off the connector, but failed to turn off any relevant crtcs. The new drm_helper_connector_dpms function manages all of that, using the drm_helper-specific crtc and encoder dpms functions, automatically computing the appropriate DPMS level for each object in the system. This fixes the current troubles in the i915 driver which left PLLs, pipes and planes running while in DPMS_OFF mode or even while they were unused.

2009-06-03mvsdio: fix config failure with some high speed SDHC cardsNicolas Pitre
Especially with Sandisk SDHC cards, the second SWITCH command was failing with a timeout and the card was not recognized at all. However if the system was busy, or debugging was enabled, or a udelay(100) was inserted before the second SWITCH command in the core code, then the timing was so that the card started to work. With some unusual block sizes, the data FIFO status doesn't indicate a "empty" state right away when the data transfer is done. Queuing another data transfer in that condition results in a transfer timeout. The empty FIFO bit eventually get set by itself in less than 50 usecs when it is not set right away. So let's just poll for that bit before configuring the controller with a new data transfer. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <pierre@ossman.eu>

2009-06-02e1000: add missing length check to e1000 receive routineNeil Horman
Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two things: 1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve 2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to doing an skb_put Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc, underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents small frames from causing the underflow described above Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Tested-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a phy_power_down parameter to forcedeth: set to 1 to power down the phy and disable the link when an interface goes down; set to 0 to always leave the phy powered up. The phy power state persists across reboots; Windows, some BIOSes, and older versions of Linux don't bother to power up the phy again, forcing users to remove all power to get the interface working (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13072). Leaving the phy powered on is the safest default behavior. Users accustomed to seeing the link state reflect the interface state and/or wanting to minimize power consumption can set phy_power_down=1 if compatibility with other OSes is not an issue.
