Tejun Heo d6515e6ff4 libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resets
When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is
skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very
well.  However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only
blocks further event notification from the port but also causes
repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on
->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or
port.

This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv
nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR
access.  nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt
handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them.  When the hardreset was
there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always
thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that
there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are
skipped.  This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register
triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ.
As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on
every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't.

This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on
reset-skip path.

bko#11615 reports this problem.

FUJITA Tomonori 5825627c94 libata: fix dma_unmap_sg misuse
libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to
dma_unmap_sg(),which is the misuse of dma_unmap_sg().

DMA-mapping.txt says:

To unmap a scatterlist, just call:

	pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);

Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished.

PLEASE NOTE:  The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be
              the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call,
	      it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the
              pci_map_sg call.

Stuart Hayes e7d3ef13d5 libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to
be ready.  The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be
ready.

On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..."
message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly
timeout/error messages.

Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a
soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also
times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out,
and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which
will finally get things working.

SPORT sensitivity to noise (checked for BF561 only, though).

If that's not true for other BF variants, maybe the definition of
ANOMALY_05000265 for BF561 should be changed to '(1)' instead.

Eric Sandeen 7ce9d5d1f3 ext4: fix ext4_free_inode() vs. ext4_claim_inode() race
I was seeing fsck errors on inode bitmaps after a 4 thread
dbench run on a 4 cpu machine:

Inode bitmap differences: -50736 -(50752--50753) etc...

I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic
bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic 
bitops for synchronization, commit 
393418676a changed this to use
the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against
read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables.

However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops,
which I think leaves no synchronization between setting & 
unsetting bits in the inode table.

The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're 
getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...

David S. Miller d0cac39e4e sparc64: Fix lost interrupts on sun4u.
Based upon a report by Meelis Roos.

Sparc64 SBUS and PCI controllers use a combination of IMAP and ICLR
registers to manage device interrupts.

The IMAP register contains the "valid" enable bit as well as CPU
targetting information.  Whereas the ICLR register is written with
zero at the end of handling an interrupt to reset the state machine
for that interrupt to IDLE so it can be sent again.

For PCI slot and SBUS slot devices we can have multiple interrupts
sharing the same IMAP register.  There are individual ICLR registers
but only one IMAP register for managing those.

We represent each shared case with individual virtual IRQs so the
generic IRQ layer thinks there is only one user of the IRQ instance.

In such shared IMAP cases this is wrong, so if there are multiple
active users then a free_irq() call will prematurely turn off the
interrupt by clearing the Valid bit in the IMAP register even though
there are other active users.

Fix this by simply doing nothing in sun4u_disable_irq() and checking
IRQF_DISABLED during IRQ dispatch.

This situation doesn't exist in the hypervisor sun4v cases, so I left
those alone.

etienne 211a40c087 smack: fixes for unlabeled host support
The following patch (against 2.6.29rc5) fixes a few issues in the
smack/netlabel "unlabeled host support" functionnality that was added in
2.6.29rc.  It should go in before -final.

1) smack_host_label disregard a "0.0.0.0/0 @" rule (or other label),
preventing 'tagged' tasks to access Internet (many systems drop packets with
IP options)

2) netmasks were not handled correctly, they were stored in a way _not
equivalent_ to conversion to be32 (it was equivalent for /0, /8, /16, /24,
/32 masks but not other masks)

3) smack_netlbladdr prefixes (IP/mask) were not consistent (mask&IP was not
done), so there could have been different list entries for the same IP
prefix; if those entries had different labels, well ...

4) they were not sorted

1) 2) 3) are bugs, 4) is a more cosmetic issue.
The patch :

-creates a new helper smk_netlbladdr_insert to insert a smk_netlbladdr,
-sorted by netmask length

-use the new sorted nature of  smack_netlbladdrs list to simplify
 smack_host_label : the first match _will_ be the more specific

-corrects endianness issues in smk_write_netlbladdr &  netlbladdr_seq_show

Eric Dumazet 64ca5ab913 rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()
If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.

Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.

Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

Daniel Glöckner ab9e18587f x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace

init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.

This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.

An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.

The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

Huang Ying dd39ecf522 x86: EFI: Back efi_ioremap with init_memory_mapping instead of FIX_MAP
Impact: Fix boot failure on EFI system with large runtime memory range

Brian Maly reported that some EFI system with large runtime memory
range can not boot. Because the FIX_MAP used to map runtime memory
range is smaller than run time memory range.

This patch fixes this issue by re-implement efi_ioremap() with
init_memory_mapping().
