[PATCH] timeout at boottime with NEC3500A (and possibly others) when inserted a CD in it
From: Marcello Maggioni <hayarms@gmail.com>
Problem: Some drives (NEC 3500, TDK 1616N, Mad-dog MD-16XDVD9, RICOH
MP5163DA, Memorex DVD9 drive and IO-DATA's too for sure), if a
CD/DVD is inserted into the tray when the system is booted and if
before the OS bootup the BIOS checked for the presence of a bootable
CD/DVD into the drive, during the IDE probe phase the drive may
result busy and remain so for the next 25/30 seconds . This cause the
drive to be skipped during the booting phase and not begin usable
until the next reboot (if the reboot goes well and the drive doesn't
timeout again).
Solution: Rising the timeout time from 10 seconds to 35 seconds
(during these 35 seconds every drive should wake up for sure
according to the tests I've done).

[PATCH] libata: Fix zero sg_dma_len() on 64-bit platform
When testing ATAPI PIO data transfer on the ppc64 platform, __atapi_pio_bytes() got zero when
sg_dma_len() is used. I checked the <asm-ppc64/scatterlish.h>, the struct scatterlist is defined as:
struct scatterlist {
struct page *page;
unsigned int offset;
unsigned int length;
/* For TCE support */
u32 dma_address;
u32 dma_length;
};
So, if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped, sg_dma_len() will return zero on ppc64.
The same problem should occur on the x86-64 platform.
On the i386 platform, sg_dma_len() returns sg->length, that's why the problem does not occur on an i386.
Changes:
- Use sg->length if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped (yet).

[PATCH] fix for __generic_file_aio_read() to return 0 on EOF
I came across the following problem while running ltp-aiodio testcases from
ltp-full-20050405 on linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I tried running the tests with
EXT3 as well as JFS filesystems.
One or two fsx-linux testcases were hung after some time. These testcases
were hanging at wait_for_all_aios().
Debugging shows that there were some iocbs which were not getting completed
eventhough the last retry for those returned -EIOCBQUEUED. Also all such
pending iocbs represented READ operation.
Further debugging revealed that all such iocbs hit EOF in the DIO layer.
To be more precise, the "pos" from which they were trying to read was
greater than the "size" of the file. So the generic_file_direct_IO
returned 0.
This happens rarely as there is already a check in
__generic_file_aio_read(), for whether "pos" < "size" before calling direct
IO routine.
But for READ, we are taking the inode->i_sem only in the DIO layer. So it
is possible that some other process can change the size of the file before
we take the i_sem. In such a case ( when "pos" > "size"), the
__generic_file_aio_read() would return -EIOCBQUEUED even though there were
no I/O requests submitted by the DIO layer. This would cause the AIO layer
to expect aio_complete() for THE iocb, which doesnot happen. And thus the
test hangs forever, waiting for an I/O completion, where there are no
requests submitted at all.
The following patch makes __generic_file_aio_read() return 0 (instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED), on getting 0 from generic_file_direct_IO(), so
that the AIO layer does the aio_complete().
Testing:
I have tested the patch on a SMP machine(with 2 Pentium 4 (HT)) running
linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I ran the ltp-aiodio testcases and none of the
fsx-linux tests hung. Also the aio-stress tests ran without any problem.

This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No

Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take
the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to
update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for
the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So
we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed.
This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch.
And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match.
The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar
Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore
much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking
entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is
not worth doing in this case.

[PATCH] packet driver permission checking fix
If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a
second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the
device was not correctly set up for writing. If you then tried to write
data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors.
This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with
-EBUSY.

[SCSI] aic7xxx: fix U160 mode
The new period/dt setting routines don't get the coupling of these
parameters correct. This means that Domain Validation never gets DT
set, and thus the drive gets restricted to U80.
Fix this by restoring the couplings in the set routines.

[SCSI] aic7xxx: make correct use of slave_alloc/destroy and remove the per device timer
The allocation of all of our components should be done in slave alloc.
Currently it's rather fancifully refcounted in the queuecommand
callback. This patch moves allocation and destroy to their correct
places in slave_alloc/slave_destory. Now we can guarantee that
everywhere a device is requested, it's actually been allocated, so don't
check for this anymore.
Additionally, the per device busy timer was the only source of potential
use after free. It's been deleted because Linux does the correct thing
with busy returns, so there's no need to implement a separate timer in
the driver.
Finally, implement code that forces all the device parameters to zero
(i.e. async and narrow) in the slave alloc, inform the spi class of the
bios recorded maximums and wait until slave configure before trying
anything more adventurous.

This should finish the spurious queue removal from aic7xxx (there are
other queues that are probably unnecessary, but at least the major and
obviously unnecessary ones are done with).
Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
The aic7xxx driver has two spurious queues in it's linux glue code: the
busyq which queues incoming commands to the driver and the completeq
which queues finished commands before sending them back to the mid-layer
This patch just removes the busyq and makes the aic finally return the
correct status to get the mid-layer to manage its queueing, so a command
is either committed to the sequencer or returned to the midlayer for
requeue.

This is similar to the previous sym2 problem. For Domain Validation to
work we can't allow any period setting to turn wide on if it was
previously off.

[SCSI] implement parameter limits in the SPI transport class
There's a basic need not to have parameters go under or over certain
values when doing domain validation. The basic ones are
max_offset, max_width and min_period
This patch makes the transport class take and enforce these three
limits. Currently they can be set by the user, although they could
obviously be read from the HBA's on-board NVRAM area during
slave_configure (if it has one).

[SPARC64]: Fix bad performance side effect of strbuf timeout changes.
The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had
a negative performance impact. The udelay()'s are too long,
and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read
checks. Fix both, and things are happy again.
There are more possible improvements in this area. In fact,
PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck
in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box.

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix __copy_tofrom_user return value
Recently the __copy_tofrom_user routine was modified to avoid doing
prefetches past the end of the source array. However, in doing so we
introduced a bug in that it now returns the wrong value for the number
of bytes not copied when a fault is encountered. This fixes it to
return the correct number.
