      mm: Initialize error in shmem_file_aio_read() · f7c1d074
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored 
      Some versions of gcc even warn about it:

  mm/shmem.c: In function ‘shmem_file_aio_read’:
  mm/shmem.c:1414: warning: ‘error’ may be used uninitialized in this function

If the loop is aborted during the first iteration by one of the two
first break statements, error will be uninitialized.

Introduced by commit 6e58e79d ("introduce copy_page_to_iter, kill
loop over iovec in generic_file_aio_read()").

      cifs: Use min_t() when comparing "size_t" and "unsigned long" · e686bd8d
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored 
      On 32 bit, size_t is "unsigned int", not "unsigned long", causing the
following warning when comparing with PAGE_SIZE, which is always "unsigned
long":

  fs/cifs/file.c: In function ‘cifs_readdata_to_iov’:
  fs/cifs/file.c:2757: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

Introduced by commit 7f25bba8 ("cifs_iovec_read: keep iov_iter
between the calls of cifs_readdata_to_iov()"), which changed the
signedness of "remaining" and the code from min_t() to min().

      sym53c8xx_2: Set DID_REQUEUE return code when aborting squeue · fd1232b2
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
returns QUEUE FULL status.

When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
sym_dequeue_from_squeue.

This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.

If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.

The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.

The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
(rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags.  The disk has
64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
are less than 64 pending tags.  The SCSI specification allows returning
QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

      powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode · 18aa0da3
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Commit 8f619b54 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode.  The
result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
interrupt at that point, causing a panic.  The visible result is that
the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".

This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
setting LPCR.  If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

      futex: update documentation for ordering guarantees · d7e8af1a
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      Commits 11d4616b ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter
counting code") and 69cd9eba ("futex: avoid race between requeue and
wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes.
One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole
requeuing logic.

The first change caused our documentation to be incorrect, and the
second made us aware that we need to explicitly add more details to it.
