Some versions of the Marvell yukon generate bogus sensor warning interrupts.
The driver would flood log with these messages. Handle this situation
cleanly by masking away at boot time.
Hi,
This is a patch to incorporate comments from earlier 12 patches.
It also fixes a few issues we found during this time.
Following is a list of changes in this patch. Item 1 incorporates
earlier comments. Issues addressed in items 2 to 4 were discovered
recently.
1. wmb() call in s2io_xmit() replaced with mmiowb().
2. The dtx_control register was earlier programmed incorrectly
for Xframe II adapter.
3. As suggested by hardware team, after a reset, in case of
Xframe II adapter, we clear certain spurious errors by
clearing PCI-X ECC status register, "detected parity error"
bit in PCI_STATUS register and PCI_STATUS bit in txpic_int register.
4. On IBM PPC platforms, we found that in the Rx buffer replenish
function, two memory writes(one to the the descriptor length and
another to the ownership) were getting reordered. This was causing
the adapter to see the ownership transfered to it before the length
was updated.
One solution was to add a wmb() but since this would turnout expensive
on some platforms if called for every descriptor, we set the ownership
bit and other fields of '2' to 'N' Rx descriptors followed by a wmb()
and then set the ownership of first descriptor ('1').
Here the value 'N' is configurable by making it a module loadable
parameter (rxsync_frequency).
(NOTE: This parameter is a power of 2).
5. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.2.1
Hi,
The last patch in this series fixes the following issues found during
testing.
1. Ensure we don't pass zero sized buffers to the card(which can lockup)
2. Restore the PCI-X parameters(in case of Xframe I adapter) after a reset.
3. Make sure total size of all FIFOs does not exceed 8192.
[PATCH] S2io: New link handling scheme for Xframe II
Hi,
The below patch implements a new "Link state change handling"
scheme supported by the Xframe II adapter. It also bumps up the
driver version to 2.0.2.0.
Hi,
This is a patch to provide bimodal interrupt moderation support for
Xframe II adapter. Basically, in this moderation scheme, the adapter
raises a traffic interrupt if the no. of packets transmitted and/or
received reaches a programmable threshold.
Hi,
This patch provides basic support for the Xframe II adapter.
Includes the following changes:
1. New values to program XAUI interface.
2. Print the PCI/PCI-X mode(bus frequency, width).
3. Remove EOI from reset during intialization.
4. Enable all 8 PCCs if Xframe II adapter.
5. Programs the RLDRAM size depending on the device.
(Note: RLDRAM size on XFARME-I is 64Mb whereas on XFRAME-II it's 32 Mb).
6. Enable extended(64-bit) statistics counters.
7. Program timer interrupt duration based on PCI/PCI-X clock speed.
8. Not required to save/restore PCI config space before/after reset.
Hi,
This patch implements the slow-path handling functions(link
state change, hardware errors) as a timer. It is not
handled in interrupt handler as was done previously.
Hi,
This patch relates to mostly performance related changes.
1. Fixed incorrect computation of PANIC level in rx_buffer_level().
2. Removed unnecessary PIOs(read/write of tx_traffic_int and
rx_traffic_int) from interrupt handler and removed read of
general_int_status register from xmit routine.
3. Enable two-buffer mode(for Rx path) automatically for SGI
systems. This improves Rx performance dramatically on
SGI systems.
Hi,
Below patch includes fixes for few purely software bugs identified
since last release.
1. Keep track and display(as part of ethtool command output) the no.
of single-bit and double-bit ECC errors.
2. Handle race condition between intr handler and "interface down"
routine.
3. Initial link state setting modified so that the link state displayed
after "interface Up" is correct.
4. Fix for "Incorrect Tx packet count when TSO is enabled".
5. Disable periodic DMA of statistics and schedule one-shot DMA
only when required.
Hi,
Below patch addresses few h/w specific issues.
1. Check for additional ownership bit on Rx path before
starting Rx processing.
2. Enable only 4 PCCs(Per Context Controller) for Xframe I
revisions less than 4.
3. Program Rx and Tx round robin registers depending on
no. of rings/FIFOs.
4. Tx continous interrupts is now a loadable parameter.
5. Reset the card if we get double-bit ECC errors.
6. A soft reset of XGXS being done to force a link state change has been
eliminated.
7. After a reset, clear "parity error detected" bit,
PCI-X ECC status register, and PCI_STATUS bit in
tx_pic_int register.
8. The error in the disabling allmulticast implementation has been
rectified.
9. Leave the PCI-X parameters MMRBC, OST etc. at their
BIOS/system defaults.
Hi,
We are submitting a series of 13 patches to support our Xframe I and
Xframe II line of products. The patches can be categorized as follows:

[PATCH] cpuset release ABBA deadlock fix
Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set.
For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly
frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock
can be seen every few days. If you are not using the cpuset
notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock.
The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did:
get cpuset_sem
if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
drop cpuset_sem
Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and
allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values
changed in the interim. This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain
cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task.
To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding
cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper
call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem.
So the new logic is:
get cpuset_sem
if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
stash path in kmalloc'd buffer
drop cpuset_sem
call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
free path
The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any
calls to kmalloc. The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was
already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path. In the old code, it
just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call
that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper(). In the new code, with the
application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char
**ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(),
which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped. Whereas the old code has just
one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release()
routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the
various places that a cpuset can be released.
This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that
previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.

[SCSI] fix target scanning oops with fc transport class
We have some nasty issues with 2.6.12-rc6. Any request to scan on
the lpfc or qla2xxx FC adapters will oops. What is happening is the
system is defaulting to non-transport registered targets, which
inherit the parent of the scan. On this second scan, performed by
the attribute, the parent becomes the shost instead of the rport.
The slave functions in the 2 FC adapters use starget_to_rport()
routines, which incorrectly map the shost as an rport pointer.
Additionally, this pointed out other weaknesses:
- If the target structure is torn down outside of the transport,
we have no method for it to be regenerated at the proper parent.
- We have race conditions on the target being allocated by both
the midlayer scan (parent=shost) and by the fc transport
(parent=rport).

[PATCH] namespace.c: fix bind mount from foreign namespace
I'm resending this patch, because I still believe it's the correct fix.
Tested before/after applying the patch with a test application
available from:
http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/nstest.c
Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount.
The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in
clone_mnt(). Because of this check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail.
The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace in
clone_mnt(). clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or
copy_tree(). copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or
copy_namespace().
When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always
current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt). So setting
mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do.
When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is
irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for
all copied mounts.
Jamie said:
This patch is correct. The old code was buggy for more fundamental and
serious reason: it broke the invariant that a tree of vfsmnts all have the
same value of mnt_namespace (and the same for the mnt_list list).
