2008-03-26ACPI: fix mis-merge -- invoke acpi_unlazy_tlb() only on C3 entryVenki Pallipadi
This original patch http://ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0712.2/1451.html was intending to add acpi_unlazy_tlb() to acpi_idle_enter_bm(), which is used for C3 entry. But it was merged incorrectly as commmit bde6f5f59c2b2b48a7a849c129d5b48838fe77ee 'x86: voluntary leave_mm before entering ACPI C3' so the call was instead added to acpi_idle_enter_simple() (which is C2 entry routine), probably due to identical context in that function. Move the call back to acpi_idle_enter_bm(). Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2008-03-25rndis_host: fix oops when query for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM failsJussi Kivilinna
When query for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM fails, uninitialized pointer 'phym' is being accessed in generic_rndis_bind(), resulting OOPS.

2008-03-25cxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lockRoland Dreier
Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.25-rc6 #50 --------------------------------- inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage. swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes: (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3] The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c. This is technically a false positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context. The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in sge.c. Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup slow paths.

2008-03-24PCI: iova: lockdep false alarm fixMark Gross
lockdep goes off on the iova copy_reserved_iova() because it and a function it calls grabs locks in the from, and the to of the copy operation. The function grab locks of the same lock classes triggering the warning. The first lock grabbed is for the constant reserved areas that is never accessed after early boot. Technically you could do without grabbing the locks for the "from" structure its copying reserved areas from. But dropping the from locks to me looks wrong, even though it would be ok. The affected code only runs in early boot as its setting up the DMAR engines. This patch gives the reserved_ioval_list locks special lockdep classes.

2008-03-24USB: ehci: stop vt6212 bus hoggingRene Herman
The VIA VT6212 defaults to only waiting 1us between passes over EHCI's async ring, which hammers PCI badly ... and by preventing other devices from accessing the bus, causes problems like drops in IDE throughput, a problem that's been bugging users of those chips for several years. A (partial) datasheet for this chip eventually turned up, letting us see how to make it use a VIA-specific register to switch over to the the normal 10us value instead, as suggested by the EHCI specification Solution noted by Lev A. Melnikovsky. It's not clear whether this register exists on other VIA chips; we know that it's ineffective on the vt8235.

2008-03-24sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2Mikael Pettersson
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up. This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue. The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.) This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw() that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock. We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement. The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses are inside the region protected by host->lock. Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4, FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks, with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

2008-03-24libata: improve HPA error handlingTejun Heo
There's no point in retrying and eventually failing device detection when the device rejects READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT]. Disable HPA unlocking if READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT] is rejected as done when SET_MAX[_EXT] is rejected. This allows some old drives to work even if they aren't blacklisted.
