This reverts commit 0aed459e8487eb6ebdb4efe8cefe1eafbc704b30, which was
commit 916f676f8dc016103f983c7ec54c18ecdbb6e349 upstream.
It breaks some people's machines, so this will all get worked out in the
3.0 kernel release, it's not quite ready for 2.6.39 just yet.
Thanks to Maarten Lankhorst <m.b.lankhorst@gmail.com> for reporting the
issue.

commit 21c13a4f7bc185552c4b402b792c3bbb9aa69df0 upstream.
Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.
Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.
This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

commit d4dc210f69bcb0b4bef5a83b1c323817be89bad1 upstream.
Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress. This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.
This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

commit 333c5ae9948194428fe6c5ef5c088304fc98263b upstream.
Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.
I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:
- 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 95.65% pm_qos_request
menu_select
cpuidle_idle_call
- cpu_idle
99.98% start_secondary
A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.

commit 5db1256a5131d3b133946fa02ac9770a784e6eb2 upstream.
Move the smp_rmb after cpu_relax loop in read_seqlock and add
ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the test and return are consistent.
A multi-threaded core in the lab didn't like the update
from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36, to the point it would hang during
boot when multiple threads were active. Bisection showed
af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867 (clockevents:
Remove the per cpu tick skew) as the culprit and it is
supported with stack traces showing xtime_lock waits including
tick_do_update_jiffies64 and/or update_vsyscall.
Experimentation showed the combination of cpu_relax and smp_rmb
was significantly slowing the progress of other threads sharing
the core, and this patch is effective in avoiding the hang.
A theory is the rmb is affecting the whole core while the
cpu_relax is causing a resource rebalance flush, together they
cause an interfernce cadance that is unbroken when the seqlock
reader has interrupts disabled.
At first I was confused why the refactor in
3c22cd5709e8143444a6d08682a87f4c57902df3 (kernel: optimise
seqlock) didn't affect this patch application, but after some
study that affected seqcount not seqlock. The new seqcount was
not factored back into the seqlock. I defer that the future.
While the removal of the timer interrupt offset created
contention for the xtime lock while a cpu does the
additonal work to update the system clock, the seqlock
implementation with the tight rmb spin loop goes back much
further, and is just waiting for the right trigger.

commit 916f676f8dc016103f983c7ec54c18ecdbb6e349 upstream.
UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
mode. So far so dreadful.
The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
non-executable.
This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.
[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
hardware. However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

commit 9281b16caac1276817b77033c5b8a1f5ca30102c upstream.
The old IDE cmd64x checks the status of the CNTRL register to see if
the ports are enabled before probing them. pata_cmd64x doesn't do
this, which causes a HPMC on parisc when it tries to poke at the
secondary port because apparently the BAR isn't wired up (and a
non-responding piece of memory causes a HPMC).
Fix this by porting the CNTRL register port detection logic from IDE
cmd64x. In addition, following converns from Alan Cox, add a check to
see if a mobility electronics bridge is the immediate parent and forgo
the check if it is (prevents problems on hotplug controllers).

commit a934a00a69e940b126b9bdbf83e630ef5fe43523 upstream.
In some cases we would end up stacking discard_zeroes_data incorrectly.
Fix this by enabling the feature by default for stacking drivers and
clearing it for low-level drivers. Incorporating a device that does not
support dzd will then cause the feature to be disabled in the stacking
driver.
Also ensure that the maximum discard value does not overflow when
exported in sysfs and return 0 in the alignment and dzd fields for
devices that don't support discard.

commit 3ac0cc4508709d42ec9aa351086c7d38bfc0660c upstream.
In some drives, flush requests are non-queueable. When flush request is
running, normal read/write requests can't run. If block layer dispatches
such request, driver can't handle it and requeue it. Tejun suggested we
can hold the queue when flush is running. This can avoid unnecessary
requeue. Also this can improve performance. For example, we have
request flush1, write1, flush 2. flush1 is dispatched, then queue is
hold, write1 isn't inserted to queue. After flush1 is finished, flush2
will be dispatched. Since disk cache is already clean, flush2 will be
finished very soon, so looks like flush2 is folded to flush1.
In my test, the queue holding completely solves a regression introduced by
commit 53d63e6b0dfb95882ec0219ba6bbd50cde423794:
block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list
It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.
which causes about 20% regression running a sysbench fileio
workload.

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write
their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time.
Only write the result if the device matches.
In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery
failling.

FS_COW_FL and FS_NOCOW_FL were newly introduced to control per file
COW in btrfs, but FS_NOCOW_FL is sufficient.
The fact is we don't have corresponding BTRFS_INODE_COW flag.
COW is default, and FS_NOCOW_FL can be used to switch off COW for
a single file.
If we mount btrfs with nodatacow, a newly created file will be set with
the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. So to turn on COW for it, we can just clear the
FS_NOCOW_FL flag.

* fbmem:
fbmem: make read/write/ioctl use the frame buffer at open time
fbcon: add lifetime refcount to opened frame buffers
|
|
This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It
does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to
actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end
up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the
call.
Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a
framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a
fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame
buffer.
(The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems,
because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a
switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems
too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the
whole open-close sequence.)
This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu
11.04 boot sequence.

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with
down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack
and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too.
This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with
up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and
when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch.
[ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the
grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and
share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.

I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a
padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can

The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.
That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.
And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.
This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.
This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.
[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove
the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ]

Move the SMBus device ID definitions of recent devices from pci_ids.h
to the i2c-i801.c driver file. They don't have to be shared, as they
are clearly identified and only used in this driver. In the future,
such IDs will go to i2c-i801 directly. This will make adding support
for new devices much faster and easier, as it will avoid cross-
subsystem patch sets and merge conflicts.

Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space
should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users
and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before
they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a
different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that
folks apparently need.

The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
(which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).
So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).
After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file
check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend
to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

When readdir() returns a directory entry for the root of a mounted
filesystem, Linux follows the old convention of returning the inode
number of the covered directory (despite newer versions of POSIX declaring
that this is a bug).
To ensure this continues to work, the NFSv4 readdir implementation requests
the 'mounted-on-fileid' from the server.
However, readdirplus also needs to instantiate an inode for this entry, and
for that, we also need to request the real fileid as per this patch.

Now that the whole dcache_hash_bucket crap is gone, go all the way and
also remove the weird locking layering violations for locking the hash
buckets. Add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers to move the locking into the
list abstraction instead of requiring each caller to open code it.
After all allowing for the bit locks is the whole point of these helpers
over the plain hlist variant.

When we are waiting for the bit-lock to be released, and are looping
over the 'cpu_relax()' should not be doing anything else - otherwise we
miss the point of trying to do the whole 'cpu_relax()'.
Do the preemption enable/disable around the loop, rather than inside of
it.
Noticed when I was looking at the code generation for the dcache
__d_drop usage, and the code just looked very odd.

When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.
Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

On occasion, it is useful for the NFS layer to distinguish between
soft timeouts and other EIO errors due to (say) encoding errors,
or authentication errors.
The following patch ensures that the default behaviour of the RPC
layer remains to return EIO on soft timeouts (until we have
audited all the callers).

If a server for some reason keeps sending NFS4ERR_DELAY errors, we can end
up looping forever inside nfs4_proc_create_session, and so the usual
mechanisms for detecting if the nfs_client is dead don't work.
Fix this by ensuring that we loop inside the nfs4_state_manager thread
instead.
