Prakash Punnoor 7726c3308a pci: don't disable too many HT MSI mapping
Prakash's system needs MSI disabled on some bridges, but not all.
This seems to be the minimal fix for 2.6.29, but should be replaced
during 2.6.30.

Alex Chiang cb4cb4ac73 PCIe: AER: during disable, check subordinate before walking
Commit 47a8b0cc (Enable PCIe AER only after checking firmware
support) wants to walk the PCI bus in the remove path to disable
AER, and calls pci_walk_bus for downstream bridges.

Unfortunately, in the remove path, we remove devices and bridges
in a depth-first manner, starting with the furthest downstream
bridge and working our way backwards.

The furthest downstream bridges will not have a dev->subordinate,
and we hit a NULL deref in pci_walk_bus.

Check for dev->subordinate first before attempting to walk the
PCI hierarchy below us.

Alexander Duyck 649426efcf PCI: Add PCI quirk to disable L0s ASPM state for 82575 and 82598
This patch is intended to disable L0s ASPM link state for 82598 (ixgbe)
parts due to the fact that it is possible to corrupt TX data when coming
back out of L0s on some systems.  The workaround had been added for 82575
(igb) previously, but did not use the ASPM api.  This quirk uses the ASPM
api to prevent the ASPM subsystem from re-enabling the L0s state.

Instead of adding the fix in igb to the ixgbe driver as well it was
decided to move it into a pci quirk.  It is necessary to move the fix out
of the driver and into a pci quirk in order to prevent the issue from
occuring prior to driver load to handle the possibility of the device being
passed to a VM via direct assignment.

Andrew Klossner 51b3e27001 hwmon: (f75375s) Remove unnecessary and confusing initialization
f75375_probe calls i2c_get_clientdata to initialize the data pointer,
but there isn't yet any client data to get, and the value is never
used before the variable is assigned a new value seven lines later.

The call doesn't hurt anything and wastes only a couple of cycles.
The reason to fix it is because this module serves as an example to
hackers writing new hwmon drivers, and this part of the example is
confusing.

Phillip Lougher 363911d027 Squashfs: Valid filesystems are flagged as bad by the corrupted fs patch
The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption.  This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available.  This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.

This patch does a number of things.  It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption.  It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

Shinya Kuribayashi a644b2774d MIPS: NEC VR5500 processor support fixup
Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.

Here're some VR5500A spec notes:

* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.

* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
  it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
  request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected.  In other words,
  if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
  even when interrupts are internally asserted.

  Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
  insn is in the branch delay slot.  The operation is also undefined
  if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.

* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.

With these changes, it boots fine.

sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because
there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to
be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same
socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6
sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and
sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because
"link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

Suresh Jayaraman a71ee337b3 NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()
Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

lockd happens to be using a PF_INET6 listener, the nlm_cmp_addr() in
nlmclnt_grant() will fail to match requests from that host because they

misparsing of nfsv4 fs_locations attribute) causes the mountpath that is
calculated at the beginning of try_location() to be clobbered when we
later strncpy a non-nul terminated hostname using an incorrect buffer
length.

Trond Myklebust eb9b55ab4d SUNRPC: Tighten up the task locking rules in __rpc_execute()
We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the
RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag, since rpc_make_runnable() is then free to assign the
rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it.

We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only
clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that
the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not
the task really is sleeping).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt d801cec70d radeonfb/aty128fb: Disable broken early resume hook for PowerBooks
radeonfb and aty128fb have a special hook called by the PowerMac platform
code very very early on resume from sleep to bring the screen back. This
is useful for debugging wakup problems, but unfortunately, this also became
a source of problems of its own.

The hook is called extremely early, with interrupts still off, and the code
path involved with that code nowadays rely on things like taking mutexes,
GFP_KERNEL allocations, etc...

In addition, the driver now relies on the PCI core to restore the standard
config space before calling resume which doesn't happen with this early
code path.

I'm keeping the code in but commented out along with a fixup call to
pci_restore_state(). The reason is that I still want to make it easy to
re-enable temporarily to track wake up problems, and it's possible that
I can revive it at some stage if we make sleeping things save to call
in early resume using a system state.

In the meantime, this should fix several reported regressions.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 187cfc439f hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency on pseries backends
The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along
with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would
happen if not doing so.

However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where
it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it
may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is
set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled).

This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition,
we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately
if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

Samuel CUELLA 16b71fdf97 i810: fix kernel crash fix when struct fb_var_screeninfo is supplied
Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when
supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland.

Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global
'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter
value holder (i810_main.c:2174).  If i810fb is compiled-in or if this
param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a
divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params).  The patch simply
replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given
parameter structure lookup.

This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.
It was also reported ( but non solved ) at:
