2007-02-21libata: fix ata_scsi_change_queue_depth()Tejun Heo
Fix ata_scsi_change_queue_depth() such that... * NCQ on/off is exactly determined using the same logic as the issue path. * queue depth is adjusted to 1 if NCQ is not enabled. * -EINVAL is returned if requested action is ignored due to limitations. This fixes the bug which allows queue depth to be increased on blacklisted NCQ hosts/devices. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-21libata: fix ata_scmd_need_defer()Tejun Heo
Fix ata_scmd_need_defer() such that... * whether NCQ is used or not is exactly determined using the same criteria as the issue path. * defer-check is performed in all cases. This fixes race condition where turning off NCQ on the fly causes non-NCQ commands sneak into NCQ phase. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-02-21libata: disable pdev on all suspend eventsTejun Heo
libata used disable pdev only on PM_EVENT_SUSPEND while re-enable pdev unconditionally. This was okay before ref-counted pdev enable update but it now makes the pdev pinned after swsusp cycle (enabled twice but disabled only once) and devres sanity check whines about it. Fix it by unconditionally disabling pdev on all suspend events. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-21sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commandsRobert Hancock
This patch appears to solve some problems with commands timing out in cases where an NCQ command is immediately followed by a non-NCQ command (or possibly vice versa). This is a rather ugly solution, but until we know more about why this is needed, this is about all we can do.

2007-02-21libata: fix probe_ent alloc/free bugsTejun Heo
ata_probe_ent_alloc() had a temporary hack such that devm_kzalloc() was used for allocation if devres had been previously initialized on the device; otherwise, plain kzalloc() was used. This was to make the code useable from both the old and devres-aware libata drivers during transition. This hack made ata_sas_port_alloc() unable to determine how the probe_ent is allocated, causing double free in some cases. Remove the now-unneeded hack and make ata_sas_port_alloc() use devm_kfree().

Some debug output in the ADMA error_handler function was removed recently, but it may be useful in certain cases, like NCQ commands timing out.

2007-02-21libata bugfix: HDIO_DRIVE_TASKMark Lord
I was trying to use HDIO_DRIVE_TASK for something today, and discovered that the libata implementation does not copy over the upper four LBA bits from args[6]. This is serious, as any tools using this ioctl would have their commands applied to the wrong sectors on the drive, possibly resulting in disk corruption. Ideally, newer apps should use SG_IO/ATA_16 directly, avoiding this bug. But with libata poised to displace drivers/ide, better compatibility here is a must. This patch fixes libata to use the upper four LBA bits passed in from the ioctl. The original drivers/ide implementation copies over all bits except for the master/slave select bit. With this patch, libata will copy only the four high-order LBA bits, just in case there are assumptions elsewhere in libata (?).

2007-02-21libata: put some intelligence into EH speed down sequenceTejun Heo
The current EH speed down code is more of a proof that the EH framework is capable of adjusting transfer speed in response to error. This patch puts some intelligence into EH speed down sequence. The rules are.. * If there have been more than three timeout, HSM violation or unclassified DEV errors for known supported commands during last 10 mins, NCQ is turned off. * If there have been more than three timeout or HSM violation for known supported command, transfer mode is slowed down. If DMA is active, it is first slowered by one grade (e.g. UDMA133->100). If that doesn't help, it's slowered to 40c limit (UDMA33). If PIO is active, it's slowered by one grade first. If that doesn't help, PIO0 is forced. Note that this rule does not change transfer mode. DMA is never degraded into PIO by this rule. * If there have been more than ten ATA bus, timeout, HSM violation or unclassified device errors for known supported commands && speeding down DMA mode didn't help, the device is forced into PIO mode. Note that this rule is considered only for PATA devices and is pretty difficult to trigger. One error can only trigger one rule at a time. After a rule is triggered, error history is cleared such that the next speed down happens only after some number of errors are accumulated. This makes sense because now speed down is done in bigger stride. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-21libata: improve probe failure handlingTejun Heo
* Move forcing device to PIO0 on device disable into ata_dev_disable(). This makes both old and new EHs act the same way. * Speed down only PIO mode on probe failure. All commands used during probing are PIO commands. There's no point in speeding down DMA. * Retry at least once after -ENODEV. Some devices report garbled IDENTIFY data after certain events. This shouldn't cause device detach and re-attach. * Rearrange EH failure path for simplicity. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-21libata: improve ata_down_xfermask_limit()Tejun Heo
Make ata_down_xfermask_limit() accept @sel instead of @force_pio0. @sel selects how the xfermask limit will be adjusted. The following selectors are defined. * ATA_DNXFER_PIO : only speed down PIO * ATA_DNXFER_DMA : only speed down DMA, don't cause transfer mode change * ATA_DNXFER_40C : apply 40c cable limit * ATA_DNXFER_FORCE_PIO : force PIO * ATA_DNXFER_FORCE_PIO0 : force PIO0 (same as original with @force_pio0 == 1) * ATA_DNXFER_ANY : same as original with @force_pio0 == 0 Currently, only ANY and FORCE_PIO0 are used to maintain the original behavior. Other selectors will be used later to improve EH speed down sequence. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-02-20[PATCH] remove modpost false warnings on ARMDavid Brownell
This patch stops "modpost" from issuing erroneous modpost warnings on ARM builds, which it's been doing since since maybe last summer. A canonical example would be driver method table entries: WARNING: <path> - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text:<name>_remove from .data after '$d' (at offset 0x4) That "$d" symbol is generated by tools conformant with ARM ABI specs; in this case it's a symbol **in the middle of** a "<name>_driver" struct. The erroneous warnings appear to be issued because "modpost" whitelists references from "<name>_driver" data into init and exit sections ... but doesn't know should also include those "$d" mapping symbols, which are not otherwise associated with "<name>_driver" symbols. This patch prevents the modpost symbol lookup code from ever returning those mapping symbols, so it will return a whitelisted symbol instead. Then things work as expected. Now to revert various code-bloating "fixes" that got merged because of this modpost bug....

2007-02-20[PATCH] at91_rtc updatesDavid Brownell
Various bug fixes to the at91rm9200 RTC: - alarm: setalarm() should pay attention to the "enabled" flag - init: cleaner handling of the wakeup flags, which cpu init should really have set up. Doing it here is just a workaround. - linkage: since the at91_rtc driver probe() routine is in the init section, it should use platform_driver_probe() instead of leaving that pointer around in the driver struct after init section removal. - linkage: likewise, remove() belongs in the exit section.

This patch is already in the handhelds.org tree. - And the set_alarm() method now handles that flag correctly, rather than making mismatched {en,dis}able_irq_wake() calls, which trigger runtime warning messages. (Those calls are best made in suspend/resume methods.) Note that while this SA1100/PXA RTC is fully capable of waking those ARM processors from sleep states, that mechanism isn't properly supported on either processor family, or in this driver.

2007-02-20[PATCH] autofs4: check for directory re-create in lookupIan Kent
This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell through the cracks somehow. It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a directory during a request. To avoid returning a failure from lookup incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead of a fail.

2007-02-20[PATCH] autofs4: fix another race between mount and expireIan Kent
Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire. What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request. The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of mount fails removed earlier in development.

Again, this could break weird use-cases, but none appear to exist in the tree. We can safely remove the set_page_dirty, because as the comment says, nobh_commit_write does set_page_dirty.

2007-02-20[PATCH] fs: fix libfs data leakNick Piggin
simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to. Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those exists in the tree.

2007-02-20[PATCH] cfag12864b: fix crash when built-in and no parport presentMiguel Ojeda
The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load (as there is no parallel port to use). After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an uninitialized pointer. Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when built-in?
