A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward progress due to the queue draining. Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush and some places in DM/MD. For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup in the 2-3% range.

Convert assertions to use WARN(). There are several error checks in the code for things that should never happen. Convert them to standard warnings so kerneloops.org will see them.

Jens Axboe authored
There are two reasons for doing this: - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they should contribute to the random pool in the first place. - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead. This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there should be no functional changes from this patch.

Add support for new controllers due out next year. HP must continue to support new controllers in older distros. All vendors require support be upstream.

Mike Miller authored
Add a mode of controller operation called Performant Mode. Even though cciss has been deprecated in favor of hpsa there are new controllers due out next year that HP must support in older vendor distros. Vendors require all fixes/features be upstream. These new controllers support only 16 commands in simple mode but support up to 1024 in performant mode. This requires us to add this support at this late date. The performant mode transport minimizes host PCI accesses by performinf many completions per read. PCI writes are posted so the host can write then immediately get off the bus not waiting for the writwe to complete to the target. In the context of performant mode the host read out to a controller pulls all posted writes into host memory ensuring the reply queue is coherent.

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to 2.6.32 62eede62 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target. I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page), yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer. Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change, but let's not risk it without testing exposure. Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages? Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

I was testing two CyberPro 2000 based PCI cards on x86 and the machine always hanged completely when the cyber2000fb module was loaded. It seems that the card hangs when some registers are accessed too quickly after writing RAMDAC control register. With this patch, both card work. Add delay after RAMDAC control register write to prevent hangs on module load. Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zary <linux@rainbow-software.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

__sa1111_remove always frees its argument, so the subsequent reference to sachip->saved_state represents a use after free. __sa1111_remove does not appear to use the saved_state field, so the patch simply frees it first. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression E,E2; @@ __sa1111_remove(E) ...

smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT). kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so. This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in kunmap_high_l1_vipt(). The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call to preempt_disable().

In root_nfs_name() it does the following: if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) { printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n"); return -1; } sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp); In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN) then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[] buffer.
