Rework the cx23416 firmware loader so that it longer requires the firmware size to be a multiple of 8KB. Until recently all cx2341x firmware images were exactly 256KB, but newer firmware is larger than that and also appears to have arbitrary size. We still must check against a multiple of 4 bytes (because the cx23416 itself uses a 32 bit word size). This fix is already in the upstream driver source and has proven itself there; this is a backport for the 2.6.20.y kernel series. (backported from commit 90060d32) Signed-off-by:

This introduces some extra cx23416 commands when streaming is started. The addition of these commands fix random sporadic video corruption that can take place when the video stream is temporarily disrupted through loss of signal (e.g. changing the channel in the RF tuner). This fix is already in the upstream driver source and has proven itself there; this is a backport for the 2.6.20.y kernel series. (backported from commit 6fe7d2c4) Signed-off-by:

Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> reported an illegal re-usage of the fileoperations struct if more than one dvb device (e.g. frontend) is present. This patch fixes this issue. It allocates a new fileoperations struct each time a device is registered and copies the default template fileops. (backported from commit b6190102) Signed-off-by:

There are two errors that can lead to recovery problems with raid10 when used in 'far' more (not the default). Due to a '>' instead of '>=' the wrong block is located which would result in garbage being written to some random location, quite possible outside the range of the device, causing the newly reconstructed device to fail. The device size calculation had some rounding errors (it didn't round when it should) and so recovery would go a few blocks too far which would again cause a write to a random block address and probably a device error. The code for working with device sizes was fairly confused and spread out, so this has been tided up a bit. Signed-off-by:

After updating several machines to 2.6.20, I can't boot anymore the single one of them that supports the NX bit and is configured as a 32-bit system. My understanding is that the VDSO changes in 2.6.20-rc7 were not fully cooked, in that with that config option enabled VDSO_SYM(x) now equals x, meaning that an address in the fixmap area is now being passed to apps via AT_SYSINFO. However, the page is mapped with PAGE_READONLY rather than PAGE_READONLY_EXEC. I'm not certain whether having app code go through the fixmap area is intended, but in case it is here is the simple patch that makes things work again.

TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd (32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested only). In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure that such situation would be handled very well at all by the receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct, scaled window. Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place. [ tcp_make_synack() has the same bug, and I've added a fix for that to this patch -DaveM ] Signed-off-by:

This patch (as863) fixes a problem encountered sometimes when resuming a port on a UHCI controller. The hardware may turn off the Resume-Detect bit before turning off the Suspend bit, leading usbcore to think that the port is still suspended and the resume has failed. The patch makes uhci_finish_suspend() wait until both bits are safely off. Signed-off-by:

When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets. It currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY. If the socket is busy - i.e. if a request has arrived that has not yet been processes - svc_close_socket is not effective and the shutdown process spins. So create a new svc_force_close_socket which removes the SK_BUSY flag is set and then calls svc_close_socket. Also change some open-codes loops in svc_destroy to use list_for_each_entry_safe.

The reason was that we used incorrect seed for calculating index of hash when we check established sockets in __inet6_check_established(). Signed-off-by:

md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear the bit (when count hits zero). The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we cannot cope. Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue limits much smaller than this. However is seems that some don't. Apparently some multipath configurations can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests. So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait for the count to drop down a bit. This requires a new wait_queue_head, some waiting code, and a wakeup call. Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower in that case...). Signed-off-by:

[ATM]: Fix for crash in adummy_init() This was reported by Ingo Molnar here, http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/18/119 The problem is that adummy_init() depends on atm_init() , but adummy_init() is called first. So I put atm_init() into subsys_initcall which seems appropriate, and it will still get module_init() if it becomes a module. Interesting to note that you could crash your system here if you just load the modules in the wrong order. Signed-off-by:

Fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5. It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying device. So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will fail and confuse RAID5. So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests. Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath us. Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has not been tested and was badly broken. This patch fixes that code. Signed-off-by:

This then blows up the next access to intel_i810_private.registers, which happens to be intel_i810_insert_entries. Either we need .suspend methods which unmap these regions, or we need to skip trying to map them a second time on resume. There's an ugly patch below which does the latter. Give it a try? The intel-agp suspend/resume code has really grown into something of a monster, and could use some refactoring in a big way. Dave From: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
