I think that I've found and fixed the problem. There is a copy/paste bug in vt6421_set_dma_mode() function which causes wrong values to be written to PATA_UDMA_TIMING register. This patch fixes a copy/paste bug that breaks DMA modes on VT6421 PATA port.

This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters). The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if that search fails. Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use. On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs. Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but that is not the case right now.

Fix ehca SRQ support so that IPoIB connected mode works: - Report max_srq > 0 if SRQ is supported - Report "last wqe reached" asynchronous event when base QP dies; this is required by the IB spec and IPoIB CM relies on receiving it when cleaning up.

cxgb3 used netdev_priv() and dev->priv for different purposes. In 2.6.23, netdev_priv() == dev->priv, cxgb3 needs a fix. This patch is a partial backport of Dave Miller's changes in the net-2.6.24 git branch. Without this fix, cxgb3 crashes on 2.6.23.

A network interface can get ARP packets even when the interface has NOARP specified. In a HiperSockets environment this disturbs receiving systems when packets are sent on the multicast queue. (E.g. TCP/IP on z/VM issues messages reporting invalid data on the HiperSockets interface.) Qeth will no longer send ARP packets on HiperSockets interface when interface has the NOARP attribute.

Exclusive usage of OSA-cards has been introduced. Even though Linux does not make use of it, qeth should be prepared to receive a bad RC for some initialization steps.

Online setting of a qeth device may fail for instance because of: - out-of-memory condition when allocating qdio queues - IDX ACTIVATE problem - ... Such a device is still returned in a driver_for_each_device loop processed in qeth_reboot_event(), which calls qeth_clear_qdio_buffers(). Make sure qeth_clear_output_buffer() is called only, if the qdio queues have been successfully allocated during initialization of a qeth device.

Problem: A recovery thread must not be active when device is removed. In qeth_remove_device() an interruptible wait operation is used to wait until a qeth recovery thread is finished. If a user really interrupts the ungroup operation of a qeth device while a recovery is running, cio and qeth are out of sync (device already removed from cio, but kept in qeth). A following module unload of qeth results in a kernel OOPS here. Solution: Do not allow interruption of ungroup operation to guarantee finishing of a potentially running qeth recovery thread.

The IOC3 driver's UART detection bits used to rely on the the firmware setting the UART pre-divider in a way that's apropriate for the 8250 driver which doesn't currently program this register. This happens to work for the console but not rarely for additional ports. While at it, also program the UART to RS-232 PIO mode; it the UART might have been in mac-serial and/or DMA mode though that hasn't actually been observed in practice.

David Gibson authored
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to be aligned to the size of a hugepage. In commit 68589bc3, the check for this was moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks. But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to commit 4b1d8929, prepare_hugepage_range() is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings. This means we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc and i386 at least. This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range() and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there, rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

Spotted by taoyue <yue.tao@windriver.com> and Jeremy Katz <jeremy.katz@windriver.com>. collect_signal: sigqueue_free: list_del_init(&first->list); if (!list_empty(&q->list)) { // not taken } q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC; __sigqueue_free(first); __sigqueue_free(q); Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the obviously bad implications. In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue. Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see http://marc.info/?t=118766926500003 http://marc.info/?t=118466273000005 Alexey Dobriyan reports this patch makes the difference for the testcase, but nobody has an access to the application which opened the problems originally. Also, this patch removes tasklist lock/unlock, ->siglock is enough.

This shows that a driver's irq handler was running both in hard interrupt and process contexts with irqs enabled. The latter was done during free_irq() call and was possible only with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled. This was fixed by another patch. But similar problem is possible with request_irq(): any locks taken from irq handler could be vulnerable - especially with soft interrupts. This patch fixes it by disabling local interrupts during handler's run. (It seems, disabling softirqs should be enough, but it needs more checking on possible races or other special cases).
