[PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.
We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.
The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.
With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

[PATCH] Three one-liners in md.c
The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.
This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.
1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

[PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devices
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of
Highspeed HID devices in the kernel.
What happened?
Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the
kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are
received by the kernel.
The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't
even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB
transfer are polled by the host).
After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason.
In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in
driver/usb/input/hid-core.c:
Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is
rejected in core/urb.c:
line 353:
/* too small? */
if (urb->interval <= 0)
return -EINVAL;
The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is
necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is
simply wrong. ;-)
Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the
most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from
hid-core.c.
Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling
usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed
re-calculation in this file.

Fix bug 5441.
I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?
Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...
The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.
A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.

[NETPOLL]: wrong return for null netpoll_poll_lock()
When netpoll is not being used, the macro that
defines the removed routing netpoll_poll_lock
defines the return as zero, but the real
routine returns a `void *`

This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically,
the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first
step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic
will come in, and the other code will not think that network device
is part of a bridge.
This should also fix the XEN test problems.

[SPARC64]: Fix boot failures on SunBlade-150
The sequence to move over to the Linux trap tables from
the firmware ones needs to be more air tight. It turns
out that to be %100 safe we do need to be able to translate
OBP mappings in our TLB miss handlers early.
In order not to eat up a lot of kernel image memory with
static page tables, just use the translations array in
the OBP TLB miss handlers. That solves the bulk of the
problem.
Furthermore, to make sure the OBP TLB miss path will work
even before the fixed MMU globals are loaded, explicitly
load %g1 to TLB_SFSR at the beginning of the i-TLB and
d-TLB miss handlers.
To ease the OBP TLB miss walking of the prom_trans[] array,
we sort it then delete all of the non-OBP entries in there
(for example, there are entries for the kernel image itself
which we're not interested in at all).
We also save about 32K of kernel image size with this change.
Not a bad side effect :-)
There are still some reasons why trampoline.S can't use the
setup_trap_table() yet. The most noteworthy are:
1) OBP boots secondary processors with non-bias'd stack for
some reason. This is easily fixed by using a small bootup
stack in the kernel image explicitly for this purpose.
2) Doing a firmware call via the normal C call prom_set_trap_table()
goes through the whole OBP enter/exit sequence that saves and
restores OBP and Linux kernel state in the MMUs. This path
unfortunately does a "flush %g6" while loading up the OBP locked
TLB entries for the firmware call.
If we setup the %g6 in the trampoline.S code properly, that
is in the PAGE_OFFSET linear mapping, but we're not on the
kernel trap table yet so those addresses won't translate properly.
One idea is to do a by-hand firmware call like we do in the
early bootup code and elsewhere here in trampoline.S But this
fails as well, as aparently the secondary processors are not
booted with OBP's special locked TLB entries loaded. These
are necessary for the firwmare to processes TLB misses correctly
up until the point where we take over the trap table.
This does need to be resolved at some point.

[ARM] 3002/1: Wrong parameter to uart_update_timeout() in drivers/serial/pxa.c
Patch from Lothar Wassmann
The function serial_pxa_set_termios() is calling uart_update_timeout()
with the baud rate divisor as third parameter, while
uart_update_timeout() expects the baud rate in this place.
This results in a bogus port->timeout which is proportional to the
baud rate.

When building for CPU_V6 targets, we should use -mtune=arm1136j-s rather
than -mtune=strongarm but fall back to the later in case someone is
using an older toolchain (although they should really upgrade instead).
