[PATCH] Conditionally check expected_preempt_count in __resched_legal()
Commit 2d7d253548cffdce80f4e03664686e9ccb1b0ed7 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.
Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero. cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.
So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.
Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

Fix this by cleaning the page before running try_to_free_buffers(), so

VM: Remove "clear_page_dirty()" and "test_clear_page_dirty()" functions
They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.
A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:
(a) when we write it out. We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
this, and that function remains unchanged.
In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.
(b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
outstanding dirty state.
For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).
Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).

if CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU is built into the kernel via
CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT, or is enabled via the
iommu=calgary boot option, then the detect_calgary() function runs to
detect the presence of a Calgary IOMMU.
detect_calgary() first searches the BIOS EBDA area for a "rio_table_hdr"
BIOS table. It has this parsing algorithm for the EBDA:
while (offset) {
...
/* The next offset is stored in the 1st word. 0 means no more */
offset = *((unsigned short *)(ptr + offset));
}
got that? Lets repeat it slowly: we've got a BIOS-supplied data
structure, plus Linux kernel code that will only break out of an
infinite parsing loop once the BIOS gives a zero offset. Ok?
Translation: what an excellent opportunity for BIOS writers to lock up
the Linux boot process in an utterly hard to debug place! Indeed the
BIOS jumped on that opportunity on my box, which has the following EBDA

PCI: use /sys/bus/pci/drivers/<driver>/new_id first
Unfortunately, the .../new_id feature does not work with the 8250_pci
driver.
The reason for this comes down to the way .../new_id is implemented.
When PCI tries to match a driver to a device, it checks the modules
static device ID tables _before_ checking the dynamic new_id tables.
When a driver is capable of matching by ID, and falls back to matching
by class (as 8250_pci does), this makes it absolutely impossible to
specify a board by ID, and as such the correct driver_data value to
use with it.
Let's say you have a serial board with vendor 0x1234 and device 0x5678.
It's class is set to PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_SERIAL.
On boot, this card is matched to the 8250_pci driver, which tries to
probe it because it matched using the class entry. The driver finds
that it is unable to automatically detect the correct settings to use,
so it returns -ENODEV.
You know that the information the driver needs is to match this card
using a device_data value of '7'. So you echo 1234 5678 0 0 0 0 7
into new_id.
The kernel attempts to re-bind 8250_pci to this device. However,
because it scans the PCI driver tables, it _again_ matches the class
entry which has the wrong device_data. It fails.
End of story. You can't support the card without rebuilding the
kernel (or writing a specific PCI probe module to support it.)
So, can we make new_id override the driver-internal PCI ID tables?

USB: at91_udc: Cleanup variables after failure in usb_gadget_register_driver()
This patch zeroes some variables when usb_gadget_register_driver()
fails. gadgetfs does a dummy registration to get the name of the USB
driver and then waits for user-land driver. If someone plugs the cable
in the meantime, bad things happen, because at91_udc has been left in
inconsistent state.

USB: u132-hcd/ftdi-elan: add support for Option GT 3G Quad card
ELAN's U132 is a USB to CardBus OHCI controller adapter,
designed specifically for CardBus 3G data cards to
function in machines without a CardBus slot.
The "ftdi-elan" module is a USB client driver, that detects
a supported CardBus OHCI controller plugged into the
U132 adapter and thereafter provides the conduit for
for access by the "u132-hcd" module.
The "u132-hcd" module is a (cut-down OHCI) host controller
that supports a single OHCI function of the CardBus
card inserted into the U132 adapter.
The problem with the initial implementation is that when
the CardBus card inserted into the U132 adapter has multiple
functions (and a CardBus card can support up to 4 functions),
it was the first function that was arbitrarily choosen.
The first batch of 3G cards tested, like the Merlin Qualcomm
V620, have two functions each supporting a seperate USB OHCI
host controller, of which it was that first function that is
wired up to the 3G modem.
Then along comes the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card,
aka "Option GT 3G Quad" as printed on it's rear or "Option N.V.
GlobeTrotter Fusion Quad Lite" as read with "lspci -v". And it
has the meaningful functionality in the second CardBus function.
That presents a problem because it was the "ftdi-elan" module
alone that knows how to communicate to the embedded CardBus slot
and the "u132-hcd" module alone that knows how to access the
pcmcia configuration and CardBus accessible memory space. And
of course, the information about attached (internally hardwired)
devices is contained within USB configuration embedded somewhere
within the CardBus card.
If only the "u132-hcd" module probe() interface could return a
result code that propagated back to the instigating function
platform_device_register() then the "ftdi-elan" module could
try an alternative CardBus function. However in spite of
the recent changes to the drivers/base/ routines that moved
device_attach() from bus_add_device() to bus_attach_device()
both of those routines lose the "failed to attach" 0 result
code and thus the calling routine, namely device_add() is
incapable of propaging the "failed to attach" condition back
to platform_device_add() and consequently back to the caller
of platform_device_register()
Experiments show that patching bus_attach_device() to return
ENODEV fails with the kernel locking up very early during
boot. But, however, if the patch is restricted to calls from
platform_device_add() then it does seem to work.
Unfortunately, until the kernel's drivers/base is properly
modified to propagate -ENODEV back to the caller of
platform_device_register(), it is necessary to "fix" the
"ftdi-elan" module by importing knowledge from the
"u132-hcd" module. This is the reason for the duplicated
functionality introduced in this patch.

USB: ohci handles hardware faults during root port resets
I have found a problem where the root_port_reset() goes into an infinite
loop and stalls the kernel.
This happens when a hardware fault inside the machine occurs during a small
timing window. In case of USB device connection, if a USB device responds to
hcd_submit_urb(), and later the controller fails before root_port_reset(),
root_port_reset() will loop infinitely because ohci_readl() will always
return "-1". Such a failure can include ejecting a CardBus OHCI controller.
The probability of this problem is low, but it will increase if PnP type
usage is frequent. The attached patch can solve this problem and I believe
that it is better to fix this problem.

UHCI: module parameter to ignore overcurrent changes
Certain boards seem to like to issue false overcurrent notifications,
for example on ports that don't have anything connected to them. This
looks like a hardware error, at the level of noise to those ports'
overcurrent input signals (or non-debounced VBUS comparators). This
surfaces to users as truly massive amounts of syslog spam from khubd
(which is appropriate for real hardware problems, except for the
volume from multiple ports).
Using this new "ignore_oc" flag helps such systems work more sanely,
by preventing such indications from getting to khubd (and spamming
syslog). The downside is of course that true overcurrent errors will
be masked; they'll appear as spontaneous disconnects, without the
diagnostics that will let users troubleshoot issues like
short-circuited cables. In addition, controllers with no devices
attached will be forced to poll for new devices rather than relying on
interrupts, since each overcurrent event would generate a new
interrupt.
This patch (as826) is essentially a copy of David Brownell's ignore_oc
patch for ehci-hcd, ported to uhci-hcd.

When u132-hcd is built, it includes local header ohci.h, which appears
to have been intended only for use by ohci-hcd.
This throws warnings about functions which are defined and not used.
The warnings thrown are because three small functions are implemented in
the header, but not declared 'inline', a rather strange affair.
Since these functions are small, let's go ahead and define them as
'inline', just like the inline functions surrounding them. This makes
things more consistent, and kills the warnings.
