Input: elantech - fix touchpad initialization on Gigabyte U2442

2014-06-07T20:25:36+00:00

commit 36189cc3cd57ab0f1cd75241f93fe01de928ac06 upstream.

The hw_version 3 Elantech touchpad on the Gigabyte U2442 does not accept
0x0b as initialization value for r10, this stand-alone version of the
driver: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2

Uses 0x03 which does work, so this means not setting bit 3 of r10 which
sets: "Enable Real H/W Resolution In Absolute mode"

Which will result in half the x and y resolution we get with that bit set,
so simply not setting it everywhere is not a solution. We've been unable to
find a way to identify touchpads where setting the bit will fail, so this
patch uses a dmi based blacklist for this.

mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage

2014-02-13T21:48:02+00:00

commit 778c14affaf94a9e4953179d3e13a544ccce7707 upstream.

A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.

With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption.  But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes.  For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.

The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.

Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.

By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small.  In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

ata: sata_mv: introduce compatible string "marvell, armada-370-sata"

2014-02-06T19:08:15+00:00

commit b1f5c73bd5a4752efb7d7af019034044b08aafe9 upstream.

The sata_mv driver supports the SATA IP found in several Marvell SoCs.
As some new SATA registers have been introduced with the Armada 370/XP
SoCs, a way to identify them is needed.

This patch introduces a new compatible string for the SATA IP found in
Armada 370/XP SoCs.

packet: fix send path when running with proto == 0

2014-01-15T23:28:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 66e56cd46b93ef407c60adcac62cf33b06119d50 ]

Commit e40526cb20b5 introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets
hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to
update the device used for the send path.

We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with
sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0
passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind.

So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline
these helper functions automagically.

While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(),
and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is
not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware
of that in his reference example [1]). Tested with reproducer
from e40526cb20b5.

libata: disable a disk via libata.force params

2014-01-09T20:24:23+00:00

commit b8bd6dc36186fe99afa7b73e9e2d9a98ad5c4865 upstream.

A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly
onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option
to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the
BIOS.

The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this,
but that was never ported to the libata layer.

This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force.

Example use:

 libata.force=2.0:disable

[v2 of the patch, removed the nodisable flag per Tejun Heo]
