The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following
points.
* actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size,
but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access
beyond the allocated area.
* bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were
initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved.
In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization
in init_tag_map and real_max_size. Tag map/index were allocated and freed
immediately during resize.
Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized
dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active. This led to accessing
freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting
thread on linux-scsi.
To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation
optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the
problem was fixed. As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he
asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you.

[PATCH] rtc: msleep() cannot be used from interrupt
Since the beginning of July my Opteron box was randomly crashing and
being rebooted by hardware watchdog. Today it finally did it in front
of me, and this patch will hopefully fix it.
The problem is that at the end of June (the 28th, to be exact: commit 47f176fdaf8924bc83fddcf9658f2fd3ef60d573, "[PATCH] Using msleep()
instead of HZ") rtc_get_rtc_time was converted to use msleep() instead
of busy waiting. But rtc_get_rtc_time is used by hpet_rtc_interrupt,
and scheduling is not allowed during interrupt. So I'm reverting this
part of original change, replacing msleep() back with busy loop.
The original code was busy waiting for up to 20ms, but on my hardware in
the worst case update-in-progress bit was asserted for at most 363
passes through loop (on 2GHz dual Opteron), much less than even one
jiffie, not even talking about 20ms. So I changed code to just wait
only as long as necessary. Otherwise when RTC was set to generate
8192Hz timer, it stopped doing anything for 20ms (160 pulses were
skipped!) from time to time, and this is rather suboptimal as far as I
can tell.

We hunted down the problem to this:
The deferred update mecanism used in vm_acct_memory(), on a SMP system,

This should not be a problem since this counter is known to be inaccurate.
But in __vm_enough_memory() this counter is compared to the `allowed'

[PATCH] PCI: restore BAR values after D3hot->D0 for devices that need it
Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration
(including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0. This leaves such
a device in an inaccessible state. The patch below causes the BARs
to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will
be able to access it.
The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a
correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that.
Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a
(re)boot. Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices
left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition
will be inaccessible to their drivers.
Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would
be difficult to know which drivers need modification. This is
especially true since often many devices are covered by the same
driver. It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens
of drivers.
The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0
(or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit
cleared in the PM control register. I believe it is safe to include
this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure.
The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call
pci_update_resource. Unfortunately, that does not currently exist
for the sparc64 architecture. The patch below includes a null
implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64.
Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the
pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed
modules.

lookup_user_key() can't do this because internal key types begin with a

(3) Key revocation always returns 0, even if it fails.

A key is permitted to by read by a process if it doesn't grant read
access, but it does grant search access and it is in the process's

translating to EACCES.
(5) request_key() never adds the new key to the destination keyring if one is

shutdown and the suspend() code isn't yet in a good enough shape to be
so much generalized. Also, the semantics of suspend and shutdown are

[PATCH] ARM: 2837/2: Re: ARM: Make NWFPE preempt safe
Patch from Richard Purdie
NWFPE used global variables which meant it wasn't safe for use with
preemptive kernels. This patch removes them and communicates the
information between functions in a preempt safe manner. Generation
of some exceptions was broken and this has also been corrected.
Tests with glibc's maths test suite show no change in the results

The default clock rate does not specify a maximum, so the

[PATCH] fix get_user_pages bug
Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic
for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write.
So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make
do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has
done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer
requires pte_write in __follow_page.
But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have
switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing
them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old
name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with
double underscores.
Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to
change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

[PATCH] Xmon bug fix for soft-reset
For soft reset during system hang, got an error "CPU did not take
control" for some CPUs even though they responded to soft-reset (called
SystemReset, die and called debugger - xmon). First these CPUs entered
into xmon by IPI callback and then got a soft-reset exception and
re-entered into xmon again. The first CPU which re-entered into xmon got
the output lock and made into xmon successfully without unlocking.
Hence, the next CPU(s) which re-entered into xmon try to acquire a lock
(get_output_lock). Therefore, we can not view state of those CPU(s).

[PATCH] increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO on x86
There is a number of x86 laptops that have some non-PCI IO ports
in the 0x1000-0x1fff range, and it's quite hard to control the correct
order of resource allocation between PCI and other subsystems controlling
these ports. Especially with modular kernel.
So just increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000 to prevent any new PCI
resource allocations in the problematic range (this limitation must
apply _only_ to the root bus resources - see Linus' change in
pci_bus_alloc_resource). As PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO
are the same now on i386 and x86-64, we can remove the latter.

pci: make bus resource start address override minimum IO address
The reason we have PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO is because
we want to protect badly documented motherboard PCI resources and thus
don't want to allocate new resources in low IO/MEM space.
However, if we have already discovered a PCI bridge with a specified
resource base, that should override that decision.
This change will allow us to move the "careful" region upwards without
resulting in problems allocating resources in low mappings. This was
brought on by us having allocated a bus resource at 0x1000, conflicting
with a undocumented VAIO Sony PI resources.

[PATCH] Obvious bugfix for yenta resource allocation
Recent changes (well, dating from 12 July) have broken cardbus on my
powerbook: I get 3 messages saying "no resource of type xxx available,
trying to continue", and if I plug in my wireless card, it complains
that there are no resources allocated to the card. This all worked in
2.6.12.
Looking at the code in yenta_socket.c, function yenta_allocate_res,
it's obvious what is wrong: if we get to line 639 (i.e. there wasn't a
usable preassigned resource), we will always flow through to line 668,
which is the printk that I was seeing, even if a resource was
successfully allocated. It looks to me as though there should be a
return statement after the two config_writel's in each of the 3
branches of the if statements, so that the function returns after
successfully setting up the resource.
The patch below adds these return statements, and with this patch,
cardbus works on my powerbook once again.

In reality, I'm not sure that configuring the kernel for NUMA on POWER 4 makes
much sense. Are there POWER 4 based systems with NUMA characteristics that
are presented by the firmware? But, distros want one kernel for all systems
so NUMA is on by default in their kernels. The patch handles those cases.
