Impact: scheduling order fix for group scheduling For each level in the hierarchy, set the buddy to point to the right entity. Therefore, when we do the hierarchical schedule, we have a fair chance of ending up where we meant to.

Impact: improve/change/fix wakeup-buddy scheduling Currently we only have a forward looking buddy, that is, we prefer to schedule to the task we last woke up, under the presumption that its going to consume the data we just produced, and therefore will have cache hot benefits. This allows co-waking producer/consumer task pairs to run ahead of the pack for a little while, keeping their cache warm. Without this, we would interleave all pairs, utterly trashing the cache. This patch introduces a backward looking buddy, that is, suppose that in the above scenario, the consumer preempts the producer before it can go to sleep, we will therefore miss the wakeup from consumer to producer (its already running, after all), breaking the cycle and reverting to the cache-trashing interleaved schedule pattern. The backward buddy will try to schedule back to the task that woke us up in case the forward buddy is not available, under the assumption that the last task will be the one with the most cache hot task around barring current. This will basically allow a task to continue after it got preempted. In order to avoid starvation, we allow either buddy to get wakeup_gran ahead of the pack.

libata always uses PIO for ATAPI commands when the number of bytes to transfer isn't multiple of 16 but quantum DAT72 chokes on odd bytes PIO transfers.

Peter Moulder has pointed out that there is a slight chance that a negative value might be passed to jiffies_to_msecs() in ata_scsi_park_show(). This is fixed by saving the value of jiffies in a local variable, thus also reducing code since the volatile variable jiffies is accessed only once.

All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset behaves. * generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online after hardreset. * nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required. * ck804: Hardreset finally works. The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur. That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself, but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of the low-level driver. The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it. To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

The current code read nothing but zeros on big-endian (wrong part of the 32bits). This caused poor performance on big-endian machines. Though this issue did not cause the system to crash, the performance is significantly better with the fix so I view it as critical bug fix.

Lennert Buytenhek authored
The mv643xx_eth mii bus implementation uses wait_event_timeout() to wait for SMI completion interrupts. If wait_event_timeout() would return zero, mv643xx_eth would conclude that the SMI access timed out, but this is not necessarily true -- wait_event_timeout() can also return zero in the case where the SMI completion interrupt did happen in time but where it took longer than the requested timeout for the process performing the SMI access to be scheduled again. This would lead to occasional SMI access timeouts when the system would be under heavy load. The fix is to ignore the return value of wait_event_timeout(), and to re-check the SMI done bit after wait_event_timeout() returns to determine whether or not the SMI access timed out.

While writing a new tracer, I had a bug where I caused the ring-buffer to recurse in a bad way. The bug was with the tracer I was writing and not the ring-buffer itself. But it took a long time to find the problem. This patch adds paranoid checks into the ring-buffer infrastructure that will catch bugs of this nature. Note: I put the bug back in the tracer and this patch showed the error nicely and prevented the lockup. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: ia64+tracing build fix When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this "kprobe_trampoline" function. To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead. Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds. This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

While adding support for MIGRATE/KMADDRESS in strongSwan (as specified in draft-ebalard-mext-pfkey-enhanced-migrate-00), Andreas Steffen noticed that XFRMA_KMADDRESS attribute passed to userland contains the local address twice (remote provides local address instead of remote one). This bug in copy_to_user_kmaddress() affects only key managers that use native XFRM interface (key managers that use PF_KEY are not affected). For the record, the bug was in the initial changeset I posted which added support for KMADDRESS (13c1d189 'xfrm: MIGRATE enhancements (draft-ebalard-mext-pfkey-enhanced-migrate)').
