For the same reason as ppc32, we need to ensure that all stores done on a CPU has reached the coherency domain and are visible to loads done by another CPU when context switching as the same thread may be rescheduled almost right away there.

This updates the ppc32 PCI mmap facility to allow mmap'ing of space outside of the actual devices, using the host bridge resources instead. This allow userland to map things like legacy IO space by either using the bridge device itself, or simply any PCI device on the same bus domain

On ppc32, CONFIG_PREEMPT wasn't settable along with CONFIG_SMP for historical reasons (smp_processor_id() races). Those races have been fixes since then (well, should have been at least) so it's now safe to allow both options.

This fixes a few issues with context switch on ppc32: - Makes sure we properly flush out all stores to the coherency domain when switching out, since the same thread could be switched back in on another CPU right away, those stores must be visible to all other CPUs. - Remove dssall in the assembly calls and do it now once in switch_mm (stop vmx streams). Assume the G5 doesn't need a sync after dssall. - Remove bogus isync in the loop setting the userland segment registers - Do not switch the userland segments when the mm stays the same

enable_kernel_fp is exported both in ppc_ksyms and near it's definition in process.c, remove the former.
-
Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
Add a warning if enable_kernel_{fp,altivec} is called with preempt enabled since this is always an error, and make sure the alignement exception handler properly disables preempt when doing FP operations.

Since pdflush was converted to be launched by the kthread infrastructure it has inherited keventd's `nice -10' setting. That hurts interactivity when pdflush is doing lots of work writing back through the dm-crypt layer. So set pdflush back to `nice 0'.

From: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> A couple of drivers can sometimes fail the first segments in a bio then requeue the rest of the request. In this situation, if the last part of the bio completes successfully bio_pair_end_* will miss that the beginging of the bio had failed becuase they just return one when bi_size is not yet zero. The attached patch moves the error value test before the bi_size to catch the above case.

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Samuel Rydh wrote: If a MODE_SENSE(6) command is sent to an IDE cd using the CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl, then the kernel freezes solidly. To reproduce this, one can take the SCSI cmd [1a 08 31 00 10 00] and a 16 byte data buffer. After some bug hunting, I found out that the following is what happens: - ide-cd recognizes that MODE_SENSE(6) isn't supported and tries to abort the request from ide_cdrom_prep_pc by returning BLKPREP_KILL. - in elv_next_request(), the kill request is handled by the following code: while (end_that_request_first(rq, 0, rq->nr_sectors)) ; end_that_request_last(rq); The while loop never exits. The end_that_request_first() doesn't do anything since rq->nr_sectors is 0; it just returns "not-done" after handling those 0 bytes (rq->bio->bi_size is 16).

We've now narrowed down the issue of kernel oopses in combination with 'LIST_DELETE' syslog messages happening in certain setups. Apparently people who do not enable CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL and do DNAT/REDIRECT and want to connect locally from the gateway via DNAT to the DNAT'ed address experience the bug ;) Patch courtesy of KOVACS Krisztian and Henrik Nordstrom

Here's one for -rc... either this bit is assumed on most modern drives, or nobody uses the 6-byte commands for read/write (which is very likely). Either way it definitely wants fixing. Since we use the modern "LBA" method of addressing sectors, this bit must be present in the Device register when issuing a read or write. There are three code paths that need this bit, and only two of them actually set it. This patch fixes the third (and apparently never used) code path.

- Since the coherent DMA allocator is not currently compatible with HUGETLB, ensure that we fail at compile time should this option be selected. - Move struct device/dma mask handling into consistent_alloc(). - Complain if someone tries to allocate coherent memory larger than their DMA mask will permit. - Rename consistent_alloc() to __dma_alloc() to ensure that there is no confusion that consistent_alloc() has gone. - Ensure warnings and errors report the correct function name.

Since we've eliminated users of these functions, we can unexport them. Instead, drivers should use the DMA API interfaces.

This is mainly for ARM framebuffer drivers, some of which are presently either open-coding this functionality, or using some internal ARM architecture function to get what they want.

It's a bit late in 2.6.5-rc for this, but it does fix a significant bug: for the first five minutes after boot, prior to the jiffy wrap, /bin/sync doesn't write all of the dirty data. We currently record an inode's time-of-first-dirtying in the address_space. This causes a few problems with dirty block special inodes: when the device node for /dev/hda1 needs to be written back we bogusly inspect the timestamp for the address_space, which belongs to a different inode. So move the inode's dirtying time up into the inode itself. This means that for block-special inodes, inode->dirtied_when represents the time at which the inode itself was dirtied. For regular files it represents the time at which the inode or its pages were dirtied. For blockdevs, the time-of-first-dirtying is recorded in the kernel-internal blockdev inode. Only I_DIRTY_PAGES makes sense on these inodes. The reason all this works is that when dirtying a page we always run __mark_inode_dirty(page->mapping->host); which refers to the kernel-internal blockdev inode.
