2010-06-11PCI: clear bridge resource range if BIOS assigned bad oneYinghai Lu
Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34. The cause of this bug was that the BIOS had assigned the wrong range to the PCI bridge above the video device. Before 2.6.34 the kernel would have shrunk the size of the bridge window, but since d65245c PCI: don't shrink bridge resources the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges. So zero out the old range if we fail to claim it at boot time; this will cause us to allocate a new range at startup, restoring the 2.6.34 behavior. Fixes regression https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16009.

2010-06-11PCI: hotplug/cpqphp, fix NULL dereferenceJiri Slaby
There are devices out there which are PCI Hot-plug controllers with compaq PCI IDs, but are not bridges, hence have pdev->subordinate NULL. But cpqphp expects the pointer to be non-NULL. Add a check to the probe function to avoid oopses like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000050 IP: [<f82e3c41>] cpqhpc_probe+0x951/0x1120 [cpqphp] *pdpt = 0000000033779001 *pde = 0000000000000000 ...

This reverts commit 75568f8094eb0333e9c2109b23cbc8b82d318a3c. Since they're just a convenience anyway, remove these symlinks since they're causing duplicate filename errors in the wild. Acked-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
2010-06-11PCI: change resource collision messages from KERN_ERR to KERN_INFOBjorn Helgaas
We can often deal with PCI resource issues by moving devices around. In that case, there's no point in alarming the user with messages like these. There are many bug reports where the message itself is the only problem, e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/413419 .

If we have enough memory to allocate a new cap release message, do so, so that we can send a partial release message immediately.

cb->atapi.cdb is an array of 16 u8 elements. The call too memset() would set the first part of the sge array to zero as well. It's not a packed struct. This one has been around for five years. I found it with Smatch. I think the reason no one has seen it before is because we normally call sil24_fill_sg() and that overwrites sge with proper information?

2010-06-09FRV: Reinstate null behaviour for the GDB remote protocol 'p' commandDavid Howells
Reinstate the null behaviour that the in-kernel gdbstub had for the GDB remote protocol 'p' command (retrieve a single register value) prior to commit 7ca8b9c0dafd ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of gdb"). Before that, the 'p' command just returned an empty reply, which causes gdb to then go and use the 'g' command. However, since that commit, the 'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its connection to the target. Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

2010-06-08writeback: limit write_cache_pages integrity scanning to current EOFDave Chinner
sync can currently take a really long time if a concurrent writer is extending a file. The problem is that the dirty pages on the address space grow in the same direction as write_cache_pages scans, so if the writer keeps ahead of writeback, the writeback will not terminate until the writer stops adding dirty pages. For a data integrity sync, we only need to write the pages dirty at the time we start the writeback, so we can stop scanning once we get to the page that was at the end of the file at the time the scan started. This will prevent operations like copying a large file preventing sync from completing as it will not write back pages that were dirtied after the sync was started. This does not impact the existing integrity guarantees, as any dirty page (old or new) within the EOF range at the start of the scan will still be captured. This patch will not prevent sync from blocking on large writes into holes. That requires more complex intervention while this patch only addresses the common append-case of this sync holdoff.
