[PATCH] enable unit-at-a-time optimisations for gcc4
Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time.
This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation
decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions. One
of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only
once now get inlined.
gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining
and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and
unacceptable stack use. This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series. The
x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

[PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSes
Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature
that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video
device. Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs
of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so
that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by
the BIOS.
This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have
different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs
mean.
I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular
VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage
there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.
[PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as default
On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an
external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is
docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut.
A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the
"external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only".
An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display
combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being
the only solution.
The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display
mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module
parameter.

[PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854
Root cause:
The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by
calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn
starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the
user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu.
The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the
user action happens. If there is no user action happening the load average
goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account. Also after
downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are
recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu. This causes the thread
to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1.
Fix:
The dell_rbu also creates the entry
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time. The image
type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type
to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets. Also by echoing init in
to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created.
The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the
callback function. The entries are only created by echoing init to
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the
entries to download the image monolithic or packet. This fixes the issue
since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to
download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread
and the load average goes back to normal.

The problem, reported in:

The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the

This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where
the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks,
which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more

simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for
preferred, bind, and interleave policies.
The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node
which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create

[PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC
This is a 2.6 patch that adds support for the watchdog timer built into the
EPX-C3 single board computer manufactured by Winsystems, Inc.
Driver details:
This is for x86 only. This watchdog is pretty basic and simple. It is
only configurable via jumpers on the SBC, and it only has either a 1.5s or
200s interval. The watchdog can either be auto-configured to start as soon
as the machine powers up (bad idea for the 1.5s interval!) or it can be
enabled and disabled by writing to io port 0x1ee. Petting the watchdog
involves writing any value to io port 0x1ef.
The only unfortunate thing about this watchdog (and it is not at all
uncommmon in watchdogs that linux supports) is that it is not a PCI or
ISA-PNP device and as such it isn't at all probeable. Either the watchdog
exists as 2 bytes at 0x1ee, or it doesn't. Thus, using this driver on a
machine that doesn't have that watchdog can potentially hang/crash the
system, etc. So only use this driver if you in fact are on a Winsystems
EPX-C3 SBC.
Anyway this driver fits into the already-existing watchdog framework quite
nicely and I already tested it on my EPX-C3 and it works like a charm.

An OEM noticed that the U6 qla2200 driver would hang for

schedule_timeout(10) added to the bottom of the polling

Some testing showed that the load ram operation on the card
was very quick (on the order of a couple of jiffies), but
the sleep in the polling loop was making each operation take
around 25-30.
The attached patch corrects this by making it skip sleeping
during the load ram operation, since I believe we only do
that when the module is plugged in. It also skips sleeping
if the mbox_int flag got set during the current loop.
This corrected the hang on my test setup, and OEM also

[SCSI] iscsi: data digest page cache usage fix
Users can write to a page while we are sending it and making
digest calculations. This ends up causing us to retry the command
when a digest error is later reported. By using sock_no_sendpage
when data digests are calculated we can avoid a lot of (not all but it
helps) the retries becuase sock_no_sendpage is not zero copy.

[SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: mapping the rphy channel equal to the port identifier
We will be mapping the RAID volumes in mptsas to a reserved
channel that
is one larger than the anticapated number of ports on the direct
attached host
adapter.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

Adds hotplug support for SAS end devices. Unfortunately the fusion
firmware doesn't generate similar events for expanders addition/removal
so we can't support them yet. Eric has an idea about a clever scheme to
find out about expander changes so that'll be added later on.

[SCSI] I2O: move pci_request_regions() just behind pci_enable_device()
The problem in dpt_i2o could be the pci config space accesses it
triggers as it loads, dangerous to do if there is any I/O activity going
on in the other driver (probable if a boot driver I guess).
I approve this patch to dpt_i2o.c, and am applying it to the Adaptec
branch of the driver.
Thanks for the investigation Ryoji.

In linux 2.6.15, data transfer does hang when both dpt_i2o
and i2o_block drivers are loaded.
It seems that location of pci_request_regions() are wrong.
I moved it just behind pci_enable_device() like other drivers,
and it becomes fine.
