something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on
the queue and nothing will want to unplug them.  Normally something else will

difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.

However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count.  This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.

So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from

Peter Oberparleiter [Mon, 10 Jul 2006 11:44:00 +0000 (04:44 -0700)]
[PATCH] partitions: let partitions inherit policy from disk

Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly
detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device
(see patch below).

My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the
policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions.
When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy
field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field.
 This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be
'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g.  the s390 DASD driver because
partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

[PATCH] sched: fix bug in __migrate_task()

Problem:

In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by
activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to
another.  This has two undesirable effects:

1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the
scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.)

2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time.  At the very least,
this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to
deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious
as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of
the time at which the task was woken.  In addition, unless dest_rq is
the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate
due to inter CPU drift.

Solution:

Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

[NET] gso: Add skb_is_gso

This patch adds the wrapper function skb_is_gso which can be used instead
of directly testing skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size.  This makes things a little
nicer and allows us to change the primary key for indicating whether an skb
is GSO (if we ever want to do that).

defined to suspend and resume a host_set.  While suspended, EHs for
all ports in the host_set are pegged using ATA_FLAG_SUSPENDED and

Because SCSI device hotplug is done asynchronously against the rest of
libata EH and the same mutex is used when adding new device, suspend
cannot wait for hotplug to complete.  So, if SCSI device hotplug is in
progress, suspend fails with -EBUSY.

In most cases, host_set resume is followed by device resume.  As each
resume operation requires a reset, a single host_set-wide resume
operation may result in multiple resets.  To avoid this, resume waits

Suspend waits for completion but resume just issues request and

[PATCH] libata: fix ehc->i.action setting in ata_eh_autopsy()

ata_eh_autopsy() used to directly assign determined action mask to
ehc->i.action thus overriding actions set by some of nested analyze
functions.  This patch makes ata_eh_autopsy() add action masks just as
it's done in other places.

[PATCH] libata: add ap->pflags and move core dynamic flags to it

ap->flags is way too clamped.  Separate out core dynamic flags to
ap->pflags.  ATA_FLAG_DISABLED is a dynamic flag but left alone as
it's referenced by a lot of LLDs and it's gonna be removed once all
LLDs are converted to new EH.

[PATCH] libata: Conditionally set host->max_cmd_len

In preparation for SAS attached SATA devices, which will
not have a libata scsi_host, only setup host->max_cmd_len
if ap->host exists.
