The warning is because the alloc_pages is called with an order >= MAX_ORDER. The simplistic reason is that get_order(0) returns garbage values when given 0 as a size. The more complex reason is that the XD driver initialisation is broken. It's not clear why this ever worked. XD allocates a buffer for DMA based on the value of xd_maxsectors. This value is determined by the exact type of controller in use but the value is determined *after* an attempt has been made to allocate the buffer. i.e. the requested size of the DMA buffer will always be 0. This patch alters how XD is initialised slightly by allocating the buffer when and if a device has actually been detected. The error paths are updated to suit the new logic.

2009-12-09powerpc/macio: Rework hotplug media bay supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
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.

2009-11-23cciss: change Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma type to dma_addr_tAlex Chiang
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. Cc: Don Brace <brace@beardog.cce.hp.com> Cc: Stephen M.

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).)

2009-11-09ataflop: remove buggy/commented-out IRQ disable from do_fd_request()Jiri Kosina
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.
