2008-12-29ide: rework handling of serialized ports (v2)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
* hpt366: set IDE_HFLAG_SERIALIZE in ->host_flags if needed in init_hwif_hpt366(). Remove HPT_SERIALIZE_IO while at it. * Set IDE_HFLAG_SERIALIZE in ->host_flags if needed in ide_init_port(). * Convert init_irq() to use IDE_HFLAG_SERIALIZE together with hwif->host to find out ports which need to be serialized. * Remove no longer needed save_match() and ide_hwif_t.serialized. v2: * Set host's ->host_flags field instead of port's copy. This patch should fix the incorrect grouping of port(s) from host(s) that need serialization with port(s) that happen to use the same IRQ(s) but are from the host(s) that don't need it.

Commit 4dde4492d850a4c9bcaa92e5bd7f4eebe3e2f5ab ("ide: make drive->id an union (take 2)") accidentally introduced an IDE ACPI regression which at least on some machines confuses ACPI and breaks suspend. Fix it. Fixes kernel.org bug #12279: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12279 [ Sorry about the bug (IDE ACPI is not used by default so it managed to slip in).

2008-12-23edac: fix edac core deadlock when removing a deviceHarry Ciao
When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure. Since we have no idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when it is found. EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock. In below call trace of rmmod > ... > edac_device_del_device > edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue, device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up. edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device() and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released. Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can be used to serve this purpose. The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver would result in below deadlock: root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove() EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device() EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev() (hang for a moment) INFO: task edac-poller:2030 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param, making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time. Also, This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI drivers use. So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component"). For non-"info" ACPI core and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and layer masks, as before.

It fixes a panic which can be easily reproduced in the following way: Just create several "arrays," each with multiple logical drives via hpacucli, then delete the first array, and it will blow up in deregister_disk(), in the call to get_host() when it tries to dig the hba pointer out of a NULL queue pointer.

2008-12-19md: Don't read past end of bitmap when reading bitmap.NeilBrown
When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently read a whole number of pages. When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce on the superblock and bitmap. When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device which causes an error. When we write the superblock, we ensure to clip the last page to just be the required size. Copy that code into the read path to just read the required number of sectors. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

This patch fixes a segfault in ppp_shutdown_interface() and ppp_destroy_interface() when a PPP connection is closed. I bisected the problem to the following commit: commit c8019bf3aff653cceb64f66489fc299ee5957b57 Author: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Date: Thu Nov 20 04:24:17 2008 -0800 netdevice ppp: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv 1. Use netdev_priv(dev) to replace dev->priv. 2. Alloc netdev's private data by alloc_netdev(). Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad. The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably ppp hasn't worked since the above commit. The following patch fixes both problems.
