gcc is not convinced that the floppy.c ioctl has sufficient bound checks:
In function `copy_from_user',
inlined from `fd_copyin' at drivers/block/floppy.c:3080,
inlined from `fd_ioctl' at drivers/block/floppy.c:3503:
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:211:
warning: call to `copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute
warning: copy_from_user buffer size is not provably correct
And frankly, as a human I have a hard time proving the same more or less
(the size comes from the ioctl argument. humpf. maybe. the code isn't
very nice)
This patch adds an explicit check to make 100% sure it's safe, better than
finding out later that there indeed was a gap.

The hotplug mediabay has tendrils deep into drivers/ide code
which makes a libata port reather difficult. In addition it's
ugly and could be done better.
This reworks the interface between the mediabay and the rest
of the world so that:
- Any macio_driver can now have a mediabay_event callback
which will be called when that driver sits on a mediabay and
it's been either plugged or unplugged. The device type is
passed as an argument. We can now move all the IDE cruft
into the IDE driver itself
- A check_media_bay() function can be used to take a peek
at the type of device currently in the bay if any, a cleaner
variant of the previous function with the same name.
- A pair of lock/unlock functions are exposed to allow the
IDE driver to block the hotplug callbacks during the initial
setup and probing of the bay in order to avoid nasty race
conditions.
- The mediabay code no longer needs to spin on the status
register of the IDE interface when it detects an IDE device,
this is done just fine by the IDE code itself
Overall, less code, simpler, and allows for another driver
than our old drivers/ide based one.

A recent commit broke the ia64 build:
Author: Don Brace <brace@beardog.cce.hp.com>
Date: Thu Nov 12 12:50:01 2009 -0600
cciss: Add enhanced scatter-gather support.
because of this hunk:
--- a/drivers/block/cciss.h
+++ b/drivers/block/cciss.h
+struct Cmd_sg_list {
+ SGDescriptor_struct *sgchain;
+ dma64_addr_t sg_chain_dma;
+ int chain_block_size;
+};
The issue is that dma64_addr_t isn't #define'd on ia64.
The way that we're using Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma is to hold an
address returned from pci_map_single().
+ temp64.val = pci_map_single(h->pdev,
+ h->cmd_sg_list[c->cmdindex]->sgchain,
+ len, dir);
+
+ h->cmd_sg_list[c->cmdindex]->sg_chain_dma = temp64.val;
pci_map_single() returns a dma_addr_t too.
This code will still work even on a 32-bit x86 build, where
dma_addr_t is defined to be a u32 because it will simply be
promoted to the __u64 that temp64.val is defined as.
Thus, declaring Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma as dma_addr_t is safe.

No need to export those device attributes.
In fact, without this patch, we can trip over a build error if cciss
is a built-in and another driver also declares and exports attributes
with the same name.
You'll see errors like:

drivers/block/built-in.o: first defined here

cciss: Do not automatically rescan on UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED
There are problems with doing this. If, say, several logical drives
are deleted at once, several such UNIT ATTENTIONS will be encountered,
often during the rescan triggered by the first such UNIT ATTENTION.
The block layer may be in the midst of trying to add logical drives
which were just deleted (resulting in the subsequent UNIT ATTENTION(s).)
Making the rescan code robust enough to tolerate this kind of thing
is too complicated for the moment. So, for now, we just don't do it.
Note: This UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED situation only occurs on
the MSA2012.

There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request()
void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q)
{
unsigned long flags;
DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid));
while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait );
fdc_busy = 1;
stdma_lock(floppy_irq, NULL);
atari_disable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
local_save_flags(flags); /* The request function is called with ints
local_irq_disable(); * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */
redo_fd_request();
local_irq_restore(flags);
atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
}
If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the
local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been
introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been
there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very
same way :)
I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole
stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all,
without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The
redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags
inconsistently.
[1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/27/58
Jens:
That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered
with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your
patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

When there are many blocks on the fly (ua), and the AL gets into "starving"
mode (random IO, scattered all over the device), and the connections gets
interrupted, the receiver thread deadlocks in the drbd_disconnect() code path.
Affected are only nodes in Primary role.
The bug triggers most likely on system that mirror over "long distances"

The current PS3 VRAM driver uses msleep() to wait for completion of RSX
DMA transfers between system memory and VRAM. Depending on the system
timing, the processing delay and overhead of this msleep() call can
significantly impact VRAM driver IO.
To avoid the condition, add a short duration (200 usec max) udelay()
polling loop before entering the msleep() polling loop.

moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.
In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance
regressions for Fedora users:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695
while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag
is wrong.
Rationale:
QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue
unplugged immediately. This is not a good behaviour for at least
qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every
I/O operations. Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO,
MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb
I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb
requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed.
If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes
sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host.

Add cciss_allow_hpsa module parameter. This parameter causes
the cciss driver to ignore any Smart Array devices known to be
supported by the hpsa driver.

Fix multiple calls to pci_release_regions. If cciss_pci_init
fails, it already does any necessary call to pci_release_regions,
so this does not need to be done again in cciss_init_one in that
case.

drbd_int.h uses __ratelimit(), so it needs to #include ratelimit.h:
