Spotted by Suparna: if the first range check fails, we leak a ref on the io context.

In the ALSA cleanup for duplicate PCI ID's, they weren't exactly duplicated, resulting in problems in the au8810.c driver. This fixes the problem

The last fix apparently only worked for device 0, since the driver screwed up the port offsets (due to a wonky VIA hardware layout, really). This patch fixes device 1 detection for the users still seeing problems in -rc3.

In both uniprocessor and SMP, the fealnx driver's TX-submit path can race against the interrupt handler, with disastrous results. Add the lock that needed to be there all along, to fix this. There's another problem in the RX path, that will be sent as a separate patch, as soon as we get that patch 100% nailed down, and acceptable for a Release Candidate.

Every pointer in <syscalls.h> had better be a user pointer. Also add some others that a quick sanity check picked up on.

This cleans up a larger amount of superfluos ";;" statements in current Linux kernel sources by converting them to the regular single ";" statments. It seems to be a common problem that at the end of a line the semicolon key is producing an echo.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> The iSeries has an arch-specific mapping from physical <-> absolute addresses. Fortunately this is only used in a few places. However, the following arch-specific macros/functions are provided in addition to the standard macros: __a2p() __a2v() __p2a() __p2v() __v2a() __v2p() absolute_to_phys() phys_to_absolute() virt_to_absolute() absolute_to_virt() Reduce them to these, with slightly shorter names, and taking either pointers or unsigned long (as per __va and __pa) rather than making the caller cast: abs_to_phys() phys_to_abs() And helper macros: virt_to_abs() abs_to_virt() As is standard, virtual addresses are returned as void *, physical and absolute as unsigned long. Note that the change the iSeries_setup is a little subtle: ea is set to __va(pa) above, so "phys_to_abs(pa)" is the same as "virt_to_abs(ea)". Also, REALADDR is renamed to ISERIES_HV_ADDR and used in a couple of places where appropriate.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> This patch just ensures that the RI bit is set really early as it seems it is not on iSeries Power4 machines (or maybe OS400 v5r3 does this).

This backs out Maneesh's sysfs patch that was recently added to the kernel. In its defense, the original patch did solve some fixes that could be duplicated on SMP machines, but the side affect of the patch caused lots of problems. Basically it caused kobjects to get their references incremented when files that are not present in the kobject are asked for (udev can easily trigger this when it looks for files call "dev" in directories that do not have that file). This can cause easy oopses when the VFS later ages out those old dentries and the kobject has its reference finally released (usually after the module that the kobject lived in was removed.) I will continue to work with Maneesh to try to solve the original bug, but for now, this patch needs to be applied.

Oops, there was two different code path affected by this bug (strace and normal) and I fixed only one. Here's the other one:

For the same reason as ppc32, we need to ensure that all stores done on a CPU has reached the coherency domain and are visible to loads done by another CPU when context switching as the same thread may be rescheduled almost right away there.
-
Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
This updates the ppc32 PCI mmap facility to allow mmap'ing of space outside of the actual devices, using the host bridge resources instead. This allow userland to map things like legacy IO space by either using the bridge device itself, or simply any PCI device on the same bus domain

On ppc32, CONFIG_PREEMPT wasn't settable along with CONFIG_SMP for historical reasons (smp_processor_id() races). Those races have been fixes since then (well, should have been at least) so it's now safe to allow both options.
-
Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
This fixes a few issues with context switch on ppc32: - Makes sure we properly flush out all stores to the coherency domain when switching out, since the same thread could be switched back in on another CPU right away, those stores must be visible to all other CPUs. - Remove dssall in the assembly calls and do it now once in switch_mm (stop vmx streams). Assume the G5 doesn't need a sync after dssall. - Remove bogus isync in the loop setting the userland segment registers - Do not switch the userland segments when the mm stays the same

enable_kernel_fp is exported both in ppc_ksyms and near it's definition in process.c, remove the former.
-
Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
Add a warning if enable_kernel_{fp,altivec} is called with preempt enabled since this is always an error, and make sure the alignement exception handler properly disables preempt when doing FP operations.

Since pdflush was converted to be launched by the kthread infrastructure it has inherited keventd's `nice -10' setting. That hurts interactivity when pdflush is doing lots of work writing back through the dm-crypt layer. So set pdflush back to `nice 0'.

From: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> A couple of drivers can sometimes fail the first segments in a bio then requeue the rest of the request. In this situation, if the last part of the bio completes successfully bio_pair_end_* will miss that the beginging of the bio had failed becuase they just return one when bi_size is not yet zero. The attached patch moves the error value test before the bi_size to catch the above case.

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Samuel Rydh wrote: If a MODE_SENSE(6) command is sent to an IDE cd using the CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl, then the kernel freezes solidly. To reproduce this, one can take the SCSI cmd [1a 08 31 00 10 00] and a 16 byte data buffer. After some bug hunting, I found out that the following is what happens: - ide-cd recognizes that MODE_SENSE(6) isn't supported and tries to abort the request from ide_cdrom_prep_pc by returning BLKPREP_KILL. - in elv_next_request(), the kill request is handled by the following code: while (end_that_request_first(rq, 0, rq->nr_sectors)) ; end_that_request_last(rq); The while loop never exits. The end_that_request_first() doesn't do anything since rq->nr_sectors is 0; it just returns "not-done" after handling those 0 bytes (rq->bio->bi_size is 16).
