[PATCH] increase CARDBUS_MEM_SIZE
Linus sayeth:
Google knows everything, and finds, on MS own site no less:
"Windows 2000 default resources:
One 4K memory window
One 2 MB memory window
Two 256-byte I/O windows"
which is clearly utterly bogus and insufficient. But Microsoft apparently
realized this, and:
"Windows XP default resources:
Because one memory window of 4K and one window of 2 MB are not
sufficient for CardBus controllers in many configurations, Windows XP
allocates larger memory windows to CardBus controllers where possible.
However, resource windows are static (that is, the operating system
does not dynamically allocate larger memory windows if new devices
appear.) Under Windows XP, CardBus controllers will be assigned the
following resources:
One 4K memory window, as in Windows 2000
64 MB memory, if that amount of memory is available. If 64 MB is not
available the controller will receive 32 MB; if 32 MB is not available,
the controller will receive 16 MB; if 16 MB is not available, the
bridge will receive 8 MB; and so on down to a minimum assignment of 1
MB in configurations where memory is too constrained for the operating
system to provide a larger window.
Two 256-byte I/O windows"
So I think we have our answer. Windows uses one 4k window, and one 64MB
window. And they are no more dynamic than we are (we _could_ try to do it
dynamically, but let's face it, it's fairly painful to dynamically expand
PCI bus resources - you may need to reprogram everything up to the root,
so it would be absolutely crazy to do that unless you have some serious
masochistic tendencies).
So let's just increase our default value to 64M too.

[PATCH] ptrace: Fix EFL_OFFSET value according to i386 pda changes
The PDA patches introduced a bug in ptrace: it reads eflags from the wrong
place on the target's stack, but writes it back to the correct place. The
result is a corrupted eflags, which is most visible when it turns interrupts
off unexpectedly.
This patch fixes this by making the ptrace code a little less fragile. It
changes [gs]et_stack_long to take a straightforward byte offset into struct
pt_regs, rather than requiring all callers to do a sizeof(struct pt_regs)
offset adjustment. This means that the eflag's offset (EFL_OFFSET) on the
target stack can be simply computed with offsetof().

The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to
interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for
the header). The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in
eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing
right beforehand.
I see three ways of going forward from here. (1) Something like this patch
needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a
change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying
attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the
right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and
Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit 0cc72dc7f050188d8d7344b1dd688cbc68d3cd30 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006
-0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20.
I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just
remove the inode size copy.
Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked
filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file
size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the
stacked layer.

Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.

Net effect: the LRU gets filled with dirty pages which have invalidated

VM: Remove "clear_page_dirty()" and "test_clear_page_dirty()" functions
They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.
A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:
(a) when we write it out. We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
this, and that function remains unchanged.
In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.
(b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
outstanding dirty state.
For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).
Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).

while (offset) {

offset = *((unsigned short *)(ptr + offset));
}

structure, plus Linux kernel code that will only break out of an
infinite parsing loop once the BIOS gives a zero offset. Ok?
Translation: what an excellent opportunity for BIOS writers to lock up

[libata] sata_svw, sata_vsc: kill iomem warnings
Now that iomap merge is close to reality, and since the warnings and

that libata needs to be converted over to iomap.

[PATCH] libata: take scmd->cmd_len into account when translating SCSI commands
libata depended on SCSI command to have the correct length when
tranlating it into an ATA command. This generally worked for commands
issued by SCSI HLD but user could issue arbitrary broken command using
sg interface.
Also, when building ATAPI command, full command size was always
copied. Because some ATAPI devices needs bytes after CDB cleared, if
upper layer doesn't clear bytes after CDB, such devices will
malfunction. This necessiated recent clear-garbage-after-CDB fix in
sg interfaces. However, scsi_execute() isn't fixed yet and HL-DT-ST
DVD-RAM GSA-H30N malfunctions on initialization commands issued from
SCSI.
This patch makes xlat functions always consider SCSI cmd_len. Each
translation function checks for proper cmd_len and ATAPI translaation
clears bytes after CDB.

Variable names in xlat functions are quite confusing now. 'scsicmd'

This patch cleans up variable names in xlat functions such that 'scmd'

kobject: kobject_uevent() returns manageable value
Since kobject_uevent() function does not return an integer value to
indicate if its operation was completed with success or not, it is worth
changing it in order to report a proper status (success or error) instead
of returning void.

PCI legacy resource fix
Since commit 368c73d4f689dae0807d0a2aa74c61fd2b9b075f the kernel will try
to update the non-writeable BAR registers 0..3 of PIIX4 IDE adapters if
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() is used to do full resource assignment of
the bus. This fails because in the PIIX4 these BAR registers have
implicitly assumed values and read back as zero; it used to work because
the kernel used to just write zero to that register the read back value did
match what was written.
The fix is a new resource flag IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED used to mark a resource
as non-movable. This will also be useful to keep other import system
resources from being moved around - for example system consoles on PCI
busses.

PCI: Fix multiple problems with VIA hardware
This patch is designed to fix:
- Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM
- VIA IRQ handling
- VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAM
The core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time.
We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly
we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume.
The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which
are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various
patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect
(hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right
devices only.
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Now that PCI quirks are replayed on software resume, we can safely
re-enable the Asus SMBus unhiding quirk even when software suspend support
is enabled.

PCI: Add pci_find_ht_capability() for finding Hypertransport capabilities
There are already several places in the kernel that want to search a PCI
device for a given Hypertransport capability. Although this is possible
using pci_find_capability() etc., it makes sense to encapsulate that
logic in a helper - pci_find_ht_capability().
To cater for searching exhaustively for a capability, we also provide
pci_find_next_ht_capability().
We also need to cater for the fact that the HT capability fields may be
either 3 or 5 bits wide. pci_find_ht_capability() deals with this for you,
but callers using the #defines directly must handle that themselves.

Split these out, so that we can use the two parts independantly in
a subsequent patch. Externally visible behaviour should be unchanged.
