Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting). This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes. The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.
This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.
Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.

The amd8111e driver directly assigns the DMA mask to the dma_mask

For boards that invert the SMC91x IRQ line (maybe an FPGA inverts it),

[PATCH] ACPI-based PCI resources: PCMCIA bugfix, but resources missing in trees
Don't auto-configure yenta sockets for PCMCIA devices if it is connected to
the root PCI bus on the x86 or x86_64 architectures. Previously, this was
handled by the "ioport_resource"/"iomem_resource" check a few lines below,
but with the new ACPI-based resource handling this doesn't catch all cases
any longer.
pci-yenta-cardbus-fix.patch and this patch should solve the initialization
time trouble. However, the ACPI-based PCI resource handling is badly
broken, IMHO:
- many resources of devices don't show up in the resource trees (
/proc/iomem and /proc/ioports) any longer. This means that PCMCIA, but
also possibly other subsystems (ISA, PnP, ...) do not know which resources
it cannot use.
- verify_root_windows() should fail if there are no iomem _or_ ioport
resources, not only if there are no iomem _and_ ioport resources.
[PATCH] pcmcia: 8 and 16 bit access for static_map
The PCMCIA card services layer is never setting the i/o map attributes when
SS_CAP_STATIC_MAP is specified. Net result, sockets' set_io_map() calls
always see requests with most flags clear, meaning 8 bit access.
For hardware that always autosizes, that won't matter; and all current
STATIC_MAP drivers ignore those attributes. A new driver (for at91rm9200)
suffers badly from this, since this forces everything into 8 bit mode and
that breaks both (a) cards requiring 16 bit access, and (b) ide-cs; but of
course 8-bit cards work OK (as does accessing card attributes).
So this patch arranges to pass the attributes down, matching the behavior
for non-static mappings (using the first/only I/O window).

Add some information useful for PCMCIA device driver authors to
Documentation/pcmcia/, and reference it in dmesg in case of hash mismatches.
Also add a reference to pcmciautils to Documentation/Changes. With recent
changes, you don't need to concern yourself with pcmcia-cs even if you have
PCMCIA hardware, so the example above the list needed to be adapted as well.
Add pcmcia_device_id table to pcmciamtd. The binding of anonymus cards (i.e.
those who do neither report MANFID, CARDID, FUNCID nor product strings) is
protected by a new config option.
This patch contains the following cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- ds.c: pcmcia_report_error

[PATCH] pcmcia: request CIS via firmware interface
Use the firmware method to load replacement CIS tables. It is recommended
that the /lib/firmware/cis/ points to /etc/pcmcia/cis or the other way round
so that both old-style cardmgr and new-style hotplug/firmware can access these
"overwrite" files
The "func_id"-based matching is very fuzzy and can lead to false positives.
Therefore, it should be tried to avoid relying on these matches. Until
most/all existing func_id-based matches are replaced by
manf_id/card_id/prod_id matches (a patch which will ask to send the
appropriate card information to the PCMCIA mailing list will be added once
other, more pressing issues are adressed), we need to emulate cardmgr
behaviour by allowing func_id matches if no manf_id/card_id/prod_id match
occurs. This can only be done in userspace because of modules possibly loaded
with long delays. So, add a per-device sysfs file for this purpose.
If a card doesn't provide _any_ information about itself, assume it is a
so-called "anonymous" card. pcmciamtd will bind to it if it is configured to
do so.
The one thing which surprises me in this patch that cis->Length needs to be
set to count+1. Without it, it doesn't work, but with it, it doesn't make
sense to me.

In -mm1 the cardbus resources might be assigned in
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() pass. From your dmesg:
PCI: Bus 2, cardbus bridge: 0000:00:0b.0
IO window: 00002000-00002fff

Then yenta_allocate_res() tries to assign these resources again and,
naturally, fails.
This adds check for already assigned cardbus resources.

[PATCH] ide: sensible probing for PCI systems
Old ISA/VESA systems sometimes put tertiary IDE controllers at addresses
0x1e8, 0x168, 0x1e0 or 0x160. Linux thus probes these addresses on x86
systems. Unfortunately some PCI systems now use these addresses for other
purposes which leads to users seeing minute plus hangs during boot or even
crashes.
The following patch (again has been in Fedora for a while) only probes the
obscure legacy ISA ports on machinea that are pre-PCI. This seems to keep
everyone happy and if there is someone with that utterly weird corner case
the ide= command line still provides a get out of jail card.
Unsurprisingly we've not found anyone so affected.
