When trying to resize a ext3 fs and you run out of reserved gdt blocks, you get an error that doesn't actually tell you what went wrong, it just says that the gdb it picked is not correct, which is the case since you don't have any reserved gdt blocks left. This patch adds a check to make sure you have reserved gdt blocks to use, and if not prints out a more relevant error.

Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not. Eventually these buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush. This means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling if the journal aborts. So if both journal abort and system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become inconsistent state. Additionally, replaying journaled metadata can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly. Because, if the journal aborts, journaled metadata are preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose uncheckpointed metadata. This would also break the consistency of the filesystem. This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers. Thus, no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase. To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers, abort the journal before writing the commit record.

Teach rtc-cmos about the second bank of registers found on most modern x86 systems, giving access to 128 bytes more NVRAM. This version only sees that extra NVRAM when both register banks are provided as part of *one* PNP resource. Since BIOS on some systems presents them using two IO resources, and nothing merges them, this can't always show all the NVRAM. (We're supposed to be able to use PNP id PNP0b01 too, but BIOS tables doesn't often seem to use that particular option.)

The read fail ratio is sensitive to the delay between the first byte written and the first byte read; apparently the sensors cannot be rushed. Increasing the minimum wait time, without changing the total wait time, improves the fail ratio from a 8% chance that any of the sensors fails in one read, down to 0.4%, on a Macbook Air. On a Macbook Pro 3,1, the effect is even more apparent. By reducing the number of status polls, the ratio is further improved to below 0.1%. Finally, increasing the total wait time brings the fail ratio down to virtually zero.

The time to wait for a status change while reading or writing to the SMC ports is a balance between read reliability and system performance. The current setting yields rougly three errors in a thousand when simultaneously reading three different temperature values on a Macbook Air. This patch increases the setting to a value yielding roughly one error in ten thousand, with no noticable system performance degradation.

On many Macbooks since mid 2007, the Pro, C2D and Air models, applesmc fails to read some or all SMC ports. This problem has various effects, such as flooded logfiles, malfunctioning temperature sensors, accelerometers failing to initialize, and difficulties getting backlight functionality to work properly. The root of the problem seems to be the command protocol. The current code sends out a command byte, then repeatedly polls for an ack before continuing to send or recieve data. From experiments leading to this patch, it seems the command protocol never quite worked or changed so that one now sends a command byte, waits a little bit, polls for an ack, and if it fails, repeats the whole thing by sending the command byte again. This patch implements a send_command function according to the new interpretation of the protocol, and should work also for earlier models.

Bring hwmon/pc87360 into agreement with Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. Patchset adds separate limit alarms for voltages and temps, it also adds temp[123]_fault files. On my Soekris, temps 1,2 are unused/unconnected, so temp[123]_fault = 1,1,0 respectively. This agrees with /usr/bin/sensors, which has always shown them as OPEN. Temps 4,5,6 are thermistor based, and dont have a fault bit in their status register. This patch: 2 different kinds of constants added: - CHAN_ALM_* constants for (later) vin, temp alarm callbacks. - CHAN_* conversion constants, used in _init_device, partly for RW1C bits Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Cc: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: "Mark M.

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.
