[PATCH] dm-multipath: fix stall on noflush suspend/resume
Allow noflush suspend/resume of device-mapper device only for the case
where the device size is unchanged.
Otherwise, dm-multipath devices can stall when resumed if noflush was used
when suspending them, all paths have failed and queue_if_no_path is set.
Explanation:
1. Something is doing fsync() on the block dev,
holding inode->i_sem
2. The fsync write is blocked by all-paths-down and queue_if_no_path
3. Someone requests to suspend the dm device with noflush.
Pending writes are left in queue.
4. In the middle of dm_resume(), __bind() tries to get
inode->i_sem to do __set_size() and waits forever.
'noflush suspend' is a new device-mapper feature introduced in
early 2.6.20. So I hope the fix being included before 2.6.20 is
released.
Example of reproducer:
1. Create a multipath device by dmsetup
2. Fail all paths during mkfs
3. Do dmsetup suspend --noflush and load new map with healthy paths
4. Do dmsetup resume

NFS V3 (and V4) support exclusive create by passing a 'cookie' which can get

stored, then we assume this is a retransmit and the exclusive create was

The cookie is 64bits and is traditionally stored in the mtime and atime

[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression
Recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely: when
it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither 1.3 GHz
nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace, speed or
ondemand) is used.
After some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the following
(totally correct) bug-fix commit:
[PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.
This bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden
(BIOS) bug visible on my laptop.
The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities)
optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an
incorrect value of '2'.
My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported:
Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance
states are usable. A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 .. 2 are usable, a
value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable.
now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification.
Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is
initialized as well. So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is
superfluous:
And this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value of
'2'. Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value is
probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows likely
doesnt query it after bootup either. Maybe the value is kept at '2'
normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous event
(such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs.
So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the
spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to
query it after the system has booted up. So in my opinion the best (and
most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not
evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info() call,
but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or if it's
notified during an asynchronous event. This change is more permissive than
the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any existing system.
This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at
1.83 GHz now. Yay!

[PATCH] SPI: alternative fix for spi_busnum_to_master
If a SPI master device exists, udev (udevtrigger) causes kernel crash, due
to wrong kobj pointer in kobject_uevent_env(). This problem was not in
2.6.19.
The backtrace (on MIPS) was:
[<8024db6c>] kobject_uevent_env+0x54c/0x5e8
[<802a8264>] store_uevent+0x1c/0x3c (in drivers/class.c)

[<80181cdc>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0
[<8010dae4>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c
flush_write_buffer() passes kobject of spi_master_class.subsys to
subsys_addr_store(), then subsys_addr_store() passes a pointer to a struct
subsystem to store_uevent() which expects a pointer to a struct
class_device. The problem seems subsys_attr_store() called instead of
class_device_attr_store().
This mismatch was caused by commit 3bd0f6943520e459659d10f3282285e43d3990f1, which overrides kset of master
class. This made spi_master_class.subsys.kset.ktype NULL so
subsys_sysfs_ops is used instead of class_dev_sysfs_ops.

Fix this by initializing n_elem to 0 and only setting to 1

ahci: don't enter slumber on power down
Some ATA/ATAPI devices act weirdly after the link is put into slumber
mode. Some hang completely requiring physical power removal while
others fail to wake up till the link is hardreset a couple of times.
The addition of slumber on power down was never driven by real need.
It just followed what ahci spec said literally. The spec itself seems
faulty in that it doesn't consider devices (not controllers) which
don't support link powersaving mode.
Theory never matches reality when it comes to dark allys of cheap
ATA/ATAPI world. It's just unrealistic to expect vendors to test
rarely used link powersaving feature rigorously. This patch makes
ahci more friendly to the coldness of reality.
This shouldn't have any negative effect - when suspend operation
succeeds, we power off the whole machine; otherwise, we wake up
everything. I can't see any reason to be so elaborate with powering
down the link in the first place.

sata_nv: don't rely on NV_INT_DEV indication with ADMA
Several people reported issues with certain drive commands timing out on
sata_nv controllers running in ADMA mode. The commands in question were
non-DMA-mapped commands, usually FLUSH CACHE or FLUSH CACHE EXT.
From experimentation it appears that the NV_INT_DEV indication isn't
always set when a legitimate command completion interrupt is received on
a legacy-mode command, at least not on these controllers in ADMA mode.
When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the
irq_stat value before calling nv_host_intr so that the drive busy state
is always checked by ata_host_intr.
This also fixes some questionable code in nv_host_intr which called
ata_check_status when a command was pending and ata_host_intr returned
"unhandled". If the device interrupted at just the wrong time this could
cause interrupts to be lost.

[NETFILTER]: Fix iptables ABI breakage on (at least) CRIS
With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility
by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of
XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger.
On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have
any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure
layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following
members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align
data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility
with old iptables binaries.
Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled
against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been
there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.
The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)
This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().
When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().
However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.
I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host

However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case

transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.

I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was

SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target

queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.
