Kiyoshi Ueda [Fri, 17 Jun 2005 14:15:10 +0000 (16:15 +0200)]
When cfq I/O scheduler is selected, get_request() in __make_request() calls
__cfq_get_queue().  __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it.  If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.

On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time.  Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.

Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

[PATCH] Fix PCI BAR size interpretation on 64-bit arches

On 64-bit machines, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK and other mask constants
passed to pci_size() are 64-bit (for example ~0x0fUL).  However, pci_size
does comparisons between the u32 arguments and the mask, which will fail
even though any result from pci_size is still just 32-bit.

Changing the mask argument to u32 seems the obvious thing to do, since all
arithmetic in the function is 32-bit and having a larger mask makes no
sense.

This triggered on a PPC64 system here where an adapter (VGA, as it
happened) had a memory region base of 0xfe000000 and a sz of the same,
matching the if (max == maxbase ...) test at the bottom of pci_size but
failing the mask comparison.  Quite a corner case which I guess explains

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix nasty sleep/wakeup problem

Despite all the care lately in making the powermac sleep/wakeup as
robust as possible, there is still a nasty related to the use of cpufreq
on PMU based machines.  Unfortunately, it affects paulus old powerbook
so I have to fix it :)

We didn't manage to understand what is precisely going on, it leads to
memory corruption and might have to do with RAM not beeing properly
refreshed when a cpufreq transition is done right before the sleep.

The best workaround (and less intrusive at this point) we could come up
with is included in this patch.  We basically do _not_ force a switch to
high speed on suspend anymore (that is what is causing the problem) on
those machines.  We still force a speed switch on wakeup (since we don't
know what speed we are coming back from sleep at, and that seems to work
fine).

Since, during this short interval, the actual CPU speed might be
incorrect, we also hack around by multiplying loops_per_jiffy by 2 (max
speed factor on those machines) during early wakeup stage to make sure
udelay's during that time aren't too short.

For after 2.6.12, we'll change udelay implementation to use the CPU
timebase (which is always constant) instead like we do on ppc64 and thus
get rid of all those problems.

My patch from a few weeks back (now in mainline), called "Cleanup skbs to

fire on machines with lots of VLANs (because it takes > 2 seconds between
when we stop the queues and when we're finished stopping the connections).

When that happens the TX timeout code freaks out and does a WARN_ON()
because as far as it's concerned there shouldn't be a TX timeout happening,
which is fair enough.

I have a "proper" fix for this, which is to a) do refcounting on
connections and b) implement a proper ack timer so we don't keep unacked
skbs lying around for ever.  But for 2.6.12 I propose just supressing the

[PATCH] PCI: MSI functionality broken on Serverworks GC chipset

MSI functionality is broken on the GC_LE x86 chipset that Serverworks
developed and that is being used in various platforms today. Broadcom is
going to push out to the kernel MSI enabled Gigabit drivers (in the very
near future), and we would like to make sure that MSI does not get
enabled on any platforms using the GC_LE chipset (device id 0x17).
Following the AMD 8131 example, I am including a patch to disable MSI
functionality when a GCNB_LE is detected. Please let me know if there
are any issues with this. This is a permanent fix for this chipset, as
the hardware will not be updated.

Ian Abbott [Thu, 2 Jun 2005 09:34:11 +0000 (10:34 +0100)]
[PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio: avoid losing received data in tty-ldisc

ftdi_sio: Avoid losing bytes at tty-ldisc.

This patch was originally developed by Daniel Smertnig.  I
(Ian Abbott) made a few changes.  It has been tested by both
Daniel and I, at least for raw, non-canonical receive data
processing.

Here is Daniel's original description of the patch:

===
During a project in which I was using a FTDI 232BM to
transmit data at relative high speeds (625kBit/s), I
noticed a problem where data was lost even if flow
control was enabled: The FTDI-Driver receives 512 Bytes
of data over USB at a time, which consists of 8 64-Byte
packets. Subtracting the 2 bytes of status information
included in each packet this gives 496 "real" data
bytes per read.

This data is passed (indirectly, via the flip buffers)
to the tty line discipline which takes care of
throttling when there the free buffer space reaches
TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE (128). Because the FTDI driver
processes up to 496 bytes at a time, throttling won't
happen in time and the line discipline will discard the
remaining bytes.

To avoid this the patch passes data in 62-byte blocks
to the tty layer and checks the available space in the
ldisc-buffers. If there isn't enough free space,
processing the rest of the data is delayed using a
workqueue.

Note: The original problem should be easily
reproducible with a userspace program which does slow &
small reads.

[PATCH] ia64: fix floating-point preemption problem

There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high
floating point partition.  This is caused by the possibility of preemption
and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the
high partition.

The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in
switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception.  In switch_to()
preemption is off.  So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to
prevent preemption.

Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds
appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so.  In trap.c I use
preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where
the preemption flag will be checked anyway.
