2009-10-22virtio_blk: revert QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT additionChristoph Hellwig
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.

2009-10-16libata: fix internal command failure handlingTejun Heo
When an internal command fails, it should be failed directly without invoking EH. In the original implemetation, this was accomplished by letting internal command bypass failure handling in ata_qc_complete(). However, later changes added post-successful-completion handling to that code path and the success path is no longer adequate as internal command failure path. One of the visible problems is that internal command failure due to timeout or other freeze conditions would spuriously trigger WARN_ON_ONCE() in the success path. This patch updates failure path such that internal command failure handling is contained there.

2009-10-16libata: fix PMP initializationTejun Heo
Commit 842faa6c1a1d6faddf3377948e5cf214812c6c90 fixed error handling during attach by not committing detected device class to dev->class while attaching a new device. However, this change missed the PMP class check in the configuration loop causing a new PMP device to go through ata_dev_configure() as if it were an ATA or ATAPI device. As PMP device doesn't have a regular IDENTIFY data, this makes ata_dev_configure() tries to configure a PMP device using an invalid data. For the most part, it wasn't too harmful and went unnoticed but this ends up clearing dev->flags which may have ATA_DFLAG_AN set by sata_pmp_attach(). This means that SATA_PMP_FEAT_NOTIFY ends up being disabled on PMPs and on PMPs which honor the flag breaks hotplug support. This problem was discovered and reported by Ethan Hsiao.

2009-10-16sata_nv: make sure link is brough up online when skipping hardresetTejun Heo
prereset doesn't bring link online if hardreset is about to happen and nv_hardreset() may skip if conditions are not right so softreset may be entered with non-working link status if the system firmware didn't bring it up before entering OS code which can happen during resume. This patch makes nv_hardreset() to bring up the link if it's skipping reset.

2009-10-14net/fec_mpc52xx: Fix kernel panic on FEC errorJohn Bonesio
The MDIO bus cannot be accessed at interrupt context, but on an FEC error, the fec_mpc52xx driver reset function also tries to reset the PHY. Since the error is detected at IRQ context, and the PHY functions try to sleep, the kernel ends up panicking. Resetting the PHY on an FEC error isn't even necessary. This patch solves the problem by removing the PHY reset entirely. Signed-off-by: John Bonesio <bones@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-14usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense sizeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense size Some devices, such as Huawei E169, advertise more than the standard amount of sense data, causing us to set US_FL_SANE_SENSE, assuming they support it. However, they subsequently fail the request sense with that size. This works around it generically. When a sense request fails due to a device returning an error, US_FL_SANE_SENSE was set, and that sense request used a larger sense size, we retry with a smaller size before giving up.

2009-10-14USB: ehci: Fix IST boundary checking interval math.Sarah Sharp
When the EHCI driver falls behind in its scheduling, the active stream's first empty microframe may be in the past with respect to the current microframe. The code attempts to move the starting microframe ("start") N number of microframes forward, where N is the interval of endpoint. However, stream->interval is a copy of the endpoint's bInterval, which is designated in frames for FS devices, and microframes for HS devices. Convert stream->interval to microframes before using it to move the starting microframe forward.
