      uhci.c, speed improvements · 94f991d0
      Johannes Erdfelt authored
      Basically, the patch turns switching off FSBR into a lazy operation with
      the assumption there will be another transfer shortly afterwards. This
      works wonders for usb-storage for instance.

      This is another USB API cleanup patch. It's against 2.5.5: · 29b78b5a
      David Brownell authored
        
          - Moves 8 functions from usb.[hc] to hcd.[hc]
          - Also moves some data structures and types
          - Now usbdevfs and "old" HCDs #include "hcd.h"
          - Minor tweaks to the "hcd" layer (one less FIXME)
          - Minor kernel doc and comment cleanups
        
      Basically this continues moving the HCD-only functionality
      out of the way of normal USB device drivers.  Converging
      "usb_bus" and "usb_hcd" (later!) will be a bit easier too.
      
      I did basic sanity tests, there's little to break ... :)
        
      There are still a few functions in usb.c that aren't for
      general driver use.  They're mostly for enumeration,
      in areas where the hub driver and HCD root hubs
      need to do various kinds of magic.  It wasn't clear
      how to decouple those, they can certainly wait.

      PATCH: audio driver urb allocation · 6d3d01de
      David Brownell authored
        
      This fixes a bug in the audio driver which came from an
      incorrect conversion from static to dynamic URB allocation.
      It's against 2.5.5
        
      I noticed this while trying to see exactly how ISO transfers
      get used.  The bug is that while originally the driver statically
      allocated several structures {urb + N * iso packet descriptors},
      the update forgot to allocate the ISO descriptors.
          
      Likely not many folk noticed this on 32 bit machines, where
      sizeof urb == 92, because kmalloc rounds that up to 128,
      adding 36 bytes of external padding.  The ISO descriptors
      took up 32 bytes of that, which "just happened" to already
      have been allocated but unused.

      David Brownell authored
        
      This restores a line someone deleted, which
      affects hotplugging.  Basically this restores
      correct/previous behavior:  the HID driver only
      matches HID devices, not every device that
      ever connects.

      Dave Jones authored
      Forward ports from 2.4, Various janitor bits, and some fixes by me to
      make the thing work again in 2.5.  I munged the MTDRAM driver to work
      also (seperate patch to follow), and it seems to work.
      
      David Woodhouse gave this the once over, and approved the changes.
      Complete changelog below:
      
      o   Don't create two slabcaches with the same name.
      o   Don't corrupt eraseblock lists on mount
      o   Don't mark nodes obsolete during mount
      o   __attribute__((packed)) on the node definitions.
      o   Fix up() without down() in jffs2_readdir().
      o   Fix duplicate version number usage - s/highest_version++/++highest_version/
      o   Fix (i.e. implement) mtime/ctime on directories.
          maybe too busy with the bk stuff
      o   Don't allow hardlinks of directories.
      o   s/(mode&S_IFMT)==S_IFLNK/S_ISLNK(mode)/ et al to keep Al happy.
      o   Fix for garbage-collection of holes, where we used to write nodes out
          with csize/dsize swapped. Workarounds for existing such brokenness.
      o   Improve wear levelling by rotating node lists on mount, to avoid starting
           at one end of the flash every time.
      o   Remember to get internal inode-semaphore on symlink operations.

      [PATCH] PATCH 15/16: NFSD: TCP: Limit number of active tcp connections to an RPC service · afdb4fa2
      Neil Brown authored
      Limit number of active tcp connections to an RPC service
      
      If a connection comes in and that results in number of
      connections being more than 5 times the number of threads,
      then we close a connection.
      
      We randomly drop with the oldest or the newest connection.
      
      Thus if we are flooded with connection requests, some will
      get in and hopefully stay long enough to service at least one request.

      [PATCH] PATCH 14/16: NFSD: TCP: Declare max response sizes for NFS and NLM · 4e2f6bfe
      Neil Brown authored
      Declare response sizes for nfs/lockd requests
      
      This allows sndbuf reservation to be more accurate.
      
      For lockd we just say "0" for now, meaning assume the max.
      This could be improved, but it isn't critical.

      [PATCH] PATCH 13/16: NFSD: TCP: Reserve space on sndbuf so we never block when writing · a87d7392
      Neil Brown authored
      Make sure there is alway adequate sndbuf space for replies.
      
      We keep track of how much space might be needed for replies
      and never dequeue a request unless there is adequate space
      for a maximal reply.  We assume each request will generate a maximal
      sized reply until the request is partly decoded.
      Each RPC program/procedure can specify the maximum size
      of a reply to the precedure (though they don't yet).
      
      The wspace callback is used to enqueue sockets that may be waiting
      for sndbuf space to become available.
      
      As there should always be enough buffer space to the full
      reply, the only reason that sock_sendmsg could block is due
      to a kmalloc delay.  As this is likely to be fairly quick (and if
      it isn't the server is clagged anyway) we remove the MSG_DONTWAIT
      flag, but set a 30 second timeout on waiting.  If the wait
      ever times out, we close the connection.  If it doesn't we can
      be sure that we did a complete write.
      
      
      When a request completes, we make sure that the space
      used for the reply does not exceed the space reserved.  This
      is an internal consistancy check.
      
      This patchs sets the sndbuf and rcvbuf sizes for all sockets
      used for rpc service.  This size if dependant on the servers bufsize (S) and
      partially on the number of threads (N).
      
      For UDP
          sndbuf == 5*S
          rcvbuf == (N+2)*S
      for TCP
          sndbuf == N*S
          rcvbuf == 3*S
      
      see code for rationale (in comments).

      [PATCH] PATCH 12/16: NFSD: TCP: Close idle TCP connections · cbf593fc
      Neil Brown authored
      Close idle rpc/tcp sockets
      
      We split the list of sv_allsocks into two, one
      of permanent sockets (udp, tcp listener) and one
      of temporary sockets (tcp data).
      
      Whenever we complete a successful receive on a temp socket,
      it gets pushed to the end of the list.
      
      Whenever a thread wants to do something, it first checks if
      the oldest temp socket has not has a receive for 6 mintutes
      (should possibly be configurable).  It so, we simulate
      a close.
      
      Finally we make sure that threads wake up every few minutes
      so that if the server is completely idle, all temp
      sockets will get closed.

      Neil Brown authored
      Detect and close tcp connections that we cannot work with.
      
      If an rpc fragment that arrives on a tcp connection
      is non-terminal or too large for our buffer, then we
      have to close the connection.
      Also, if a write fails on a tcp connection, we close
      the connection.

      [PATCH] PATCH 10/16: NFSD: TCP: rationalise locking in RPC server routines · 294d77d9
      Neil Brown authored
      Tidy up SMP locking for svc_sock
      
      sk_lock is not necessary and is now removed.
      The only things that were happening under sk_lock but
      not the more global sv_lock were testing and setting
      some of the flags: sk_busy, sk_conn, sk_data etc.
      
      These have been changed to bits in a flags word which are atomically
      set and tested.
      
      Also, by establishing some simple rules about that must
      be done after setting these flags, the locking is not needed.
      
      With this patch sk_conn and sk_data are now flags, not counts (sk_data
      was already a flag for udp).  They are set if there might be
      a connection or data, and only clear when we are sure there aren't
      (or when we are about to check if there is).
      
      svc_sock_accepted becomes identical to svc_sock_recieved and
      so is discarded in favour of the latter.
      
      sk_rqstp was never used and is now gone.

      [PATCH] PATCH 8/16: NFSD: RPC lists tidyup · fac5a35a
      Neil Brown authored
      Change sunrpc to use more list.h lists
      
      The sunrpc client code uses home-grown doubly linked
      lists to group
         - idle server threads
         - pending server sockets
         - waiting rpc tasks
         - all rpc tasks.
      
      This patch converts all of these lists to <linux/list.h> lists and
      also makes the list of all server sockets for a particular server into
      a list.h list instead of a single-link list.
      
      Possibly the least obvious change is replacing RPC_INIT_WAITQ
      with RPC_WAITQ and INIT_RPC_WAITQ.  These follow the model of
      LIST_HEAD and INIT_LIST_HEAD defined in list.h and are needed
      to initialise the list_head in the rpc_waitq properly.

      The process of attaching a dentry into the dcache

      When all the other BKL changes in the VFS settle down, I
      will revisit this.  But as it is not a very frequent

      - nfsd_busy becomes atomic_t
      - nfsd_call_lock created to protect timing of calls and stats gathering
      - lock_kernel around thread creation and destruction.  It is
        sufficiently uncommon that it doesn't really need a lock of it's
        own.  It is currently under the BKL because all of the nfsservctl
        syscall is, but that is about to be removed so we preserve BKL here.

      [PATCH] Linux Secondary Slave IDE timings · 89c70763
      Daniel Quinlan authored
      This fix is from Dave Bogdanoff <bog@transmeta.com>.
      
      Linux incorrectly sets up IDE timings for secondary slave drives on PC
      systems that use Intel PIIX Southbridges.
      
      This will correctly shift IDE slave PCI timings for register 44h so
      that:
      
       - secondary slave (drive1) uses bits 4-7
       - primary slave   (drive1) uses bits 0-3
      
      (The addition of the parentheses is needed so the shift will take
      place after the bitwise-or.  Without the parentheses, the shift will
      incorrectly always take place before the bitwise-or.)

      This patch reverts the damage the driver does in your tree, and brings

      [PATCH] kdev_t search/replaces. · 16d6f850
      Dave Jones authored
      First batch of various kdev_t related changes that have accumulated on
      linux-kernel, and some that got sent directly to me after you dropped them.
      
      Some of these need additional fixes to make them work, Some of them
      even to make them compile, but this is one step forward..
      
      I have bio-related fixes for some of these also, I'll push those seperately.
