* bsg: Remove bogus check against request_queue->max_sectorsBoaz Harrosh2009-03-261-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | bsg submits REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC so the right check is max_hw_sectors. But I've removed this check because right after, bsg proceeds with calling blk_rq_map_user() which does all the right checks.

* block: WARN in __blk_put_request() for potential bio leakBoaz Harrosh2009-03-263-17/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Put a WARN_ON in __blk_put_request if it is about to leak bio(s). This is a serious bug that can happen in error handling code paths. For this to work I have fixed a couple of places in block/ where request->bio != NULL ownership was not honored. And a small cleanup at sg_io() while at it.

* loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()Nikanth Karthikesan2009-03-261-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled $ losetup /dev/loop0 file $ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0 $ losetup -d /dev/loop1 $ losetup -d /dev/loop0 triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] I think this warning is a false positive. Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock. So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some other real bugs. @@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ static int lo_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, struct loop_device *lo = bdev->bd_disk->private_data; int err; - mutex_lock(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex); + mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1); switch (cmd) { case LOOP_SET_FD: err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg); Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be a better solution. Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex held, so no lockdep annotation is required. If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the LOOP_CLR_FD ioctl in lo_ioctl(), the mutex handling could be moved inside each of the individual ioctl handlers and I could send you another patch.

* loop: support barrier writesNikanth Karthikesan2009-03-241-2/+30
| | | | | | | | | | Honour barrier requests in the loop back block device driver. In case of barrier bios, flush the backing file once before processing the barrier and once after to guarantee ordering. In case of filesystems that does not support fsync, barrier bios would be failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.

* bsg: add support for tail queuingBoaz Harrosh2009-03-242-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause starvation of the first submitted requests. The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking compatibility with it is OK at this stage. sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just in case.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

| * dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell2009-03-221-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module is loaded. Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex. The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are correctly ignored by the hardware. Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib, but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

| * bonding: Fix updating of speed/duplex changesJay Vosburgh2009-03-181-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects an omission from the following commit: commit f0c76d61779b153dbfb955db3f144c62d02173c2 Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Date: Wed Jul 2 18:21:58 2008 -0700 bonding: refactor mii monitor The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so. The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date. This patch adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave device speed changes. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.Michael Chan2009-03-181-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix(). If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in INTA mode. This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler. Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns successfully. Also update version to 1.9.3. Thomas Chenault <thomas_chenault@dell.com> helped us find this problem.

| | * zd1211rw: Do not panic on device eject when associatedJouni Malinen2009-03-161-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zd_op_tx() must not return an arbitrary error value since that can leave mac80211 trying to retransmit the frame and with the extra data pushed into the beginning of the skb on every attempt, this will end up causing a kernel panic (skb_under_panic from skb_push call). This can happen, e.g., when ejecting the device when associated. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was possible to hit a kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference in dev_queue_xmit() when sending power save buffered frames to a STA that woke up from sleep. This happened when the buffered frame was requeued for transmission in ap_sta_ps_end(). In order to avoid the panic, copy the skb->dev and skb->iif values from the first fragment to all other fragments. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NEXTHDR_NONE doesn't has an IPv6 option header, so the first check for the length will always fail and results in a confusing message "too short" if debugging enabled. With this patch, we check for NEXTHDR_NONE before length sanity checkings are done.
