2008-05-14block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>Kay Sievers
Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access, so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting. This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and broke some users machines :( Acked-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Tested-by: Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@nonada.if.usp.br> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-05-13[SCSI] qla1280: Fix queue depth problemJeremy Higdon
The qla1280 driver was ANDing the output value of mailbox register 0 with (1 << target-number) to determine whether to enable queueing on the target in question. But mailbox register 0 has the status code for the mailbox command (in this case, Set Target Parameters). Potential values are: /* * ISP mailbox command complete status codes */ So clearly that is in error. I can't think what the author of that line was looking for in a mailbox register, so I just eliminated the AND. flag is used later in the function, and I think that the later usage was also wrong, though it was used to set values that aren't used. Oh well, an overhaul of this driver is not what I want to do now -- just a bugfix. After the fix, I found that my disks were getting a queue depth of 255, which is far too many. Most SCSI disks are limited to 32 or 64. In any case, there's no point, queueing up a bunch of commands to the adapter that will just result in queue full or starve other targets from being issued commands due to running out of internal memory. So I dropped default queue depth to 32 (from which 1 is subtracted elsewhere, giving net of 31). I tested with a Seagate ST336753LC, and results look good, so I'm satisfied with this patch.

The acpi_query_osc() function can be called for the ACPI object that doesn't have _OSC method. In this case, acpi_get_osc_data() would allocate a useless memory region.

2008-05-13x86/PCI: X86_PAT & mprotectVenki Pallipadi
Some versions of X used the mprotect workaround to change caching type from UC to WB, so that it can then use mtrr to program WC for that region [1]. Change the mmap of pci space through /sys or /proc interfaces from UC to UC_MINUS. With this change, X will not need to use mprotect workaround to get WC type since the MTRR mapping type will be honored. The bug in mprotect that clobbers PAT bits is fixed in a follow on patch. So, this X workaround will stop working as well.

2008-05-13PCI ACPI: fix uninitialized variable in __pci_osc_support_setKenji Kaneshige
Fix uninitialized variable in __pci_osc_support_set(). If the ACPI namespace doesn't have any device object corresponding to the specified hid, 'retval' in __pci_osc_support_set() is not changed by the acpi_query_osc() callback. Since 'retval' is not initizlized in the current implementation, the contents of 'retval' is undefined in this case. This causes a mis-handling of ctrlset_buf[OSC_SUPPORT_TYPE] and will cause an unexpected result in the subsequent pci_osc_control_set() call as a result.

Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests. In theory all fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's nothing in the API to prevent it. Unfortunately there's a known case in NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption. There could also be other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would result in bugs. To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default, but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

2008-05-13spi_mpc83xx: much improved driverJoakim Tjernlund
The current driver may cause glitches on SPI CLK line since one must disable the SPI controller before changing any HW settings. Fix this by implementing a local spi_transfer function that won't change speed and/or word size while CS is active. While doing that heavy lifting a few other issues were addressed too: - Make word size 16 and 32 work too. - Honor bits_per_word and speed_hz in spi transaction. - Optimize the common path. This also stops using the "bitbang" framework (except for a few constants).

2008-05-13rtc: rtc_time_to_tm: use unsigned arithmeticMaciej W. Rozycki
The input argument to rtc_time_to_tm() is unsigned as well as are members of the output structure. However signed arithmetic is used within for calculations leading to incorrect results for input values outside the signed positive range. If this happens the time of day returned is out of range. Found the problem when fiddling with the RTC and the driver where year was set to an unexpectedly large value like 2070, e.g.: rtc0: setting system clock to 2070-01-01 1193046:71582832:26 UTC (3155760954) while it should be: rtc0: setting system clock to 2070-01-01 00:15:54 UTC (3155760954) Changing types to unsigned fixes the problem.

2008-05-13drivers/video/pnx4008: eliminate double freeJulia Lawall
The function framebuffer_release just calls kfree, so calling kfree subsequently on the same argument represents a double free. The comments with the definition of framebuffer_release in drivers/video/fbsysfs.c suggest that a more elaborate definition of this function is planned, such that the splitting up of framebuffer_release and kfree as done in the second instance might someday make sense, but it does not make sense now.

2008-05-13md: fix raid5 'repair' operationsDan Williams
commit bd2ab67030e9116f1e4aae1289220255412b37fd "md: close a livelock window in handle_parity_checks5" introduced a bug in handling 'repair' operations. After a repair operation completes we clear the state bits tracking this operation. However, they are cleared too early and this results in the code deciding to re-run the parity check operation. Since we have done the repair in memory the second check does not find a mismatch and thus does not do a writeback. Test results: $ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 51072 $ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 0 (also fix incorrect indentation) Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Tested-by: George Spelvin <linux@horizon.com> Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-05-13quota: don't call sync_fs() from vfs_quota_off() when there's no quota turn offJan Kara
Sometimes, vfs_quota_off() is called on a partially set up super block (for example when fill_super() fails for some reason). In such cases we cannot call ->sync_fs() because it can Oops because of not properly filled in super block. So in case we find there's not quota to turn off, we just skip everything and return which fixes the above problem.

When accessing cpu_online_map, we should prevent dynamic changing of cpu_online_map by get_online_cpus(). Unfortunately, all_vm_events() doesn't do that.

2008-05-13m68knommu: ColdFire add support for kernel preemption (missing chunk)Sebastian Siewior
As the subject says this patch adds the support for kernel preemption on m68knommu Coldfire. I thing the same changes could be applied to 68360 & 68328 but since I don't have the HW, I don't touch it. Kconfig enables the preemption item only on coldfire. This is a missing chunk from Sebastian's original patch that I lost from the first submission.

Make XP return values more generic to XP and not so tied to XPC by changing enum xpc_retval to xp_retval, along with changing return value prefixes from xpc to xp. Also, cleanup a comment block that referenced some of these return values as well as the handling of BTE related return values.
