The memory into which we copy 'u1@u2' needs space for u1, @, u2, and a final \0 which strcat copies in. 2. Strsep changes the value of its first argument. So use a temporary variable to pass to it, so we pass the original value to kfree! 3. Allocate an extra char to user_buf, because we need a trailing \0 since we later kstrdup it.

| * libata: fix incorrect link online check during probeTejun Heo2009-10-061-18/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While trying to work around spurious detection retries for non-existent devices on slave links, commit 816ab89782ac139a8b65147cca990822bb7e8675 incorrectly added link offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called. This means that if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device. The offline check should be done after the port is thawed together with online check so that such link glitches can be detected by the interrupt handler and handled properly.

| * ahci: filter FPDMA non-zero offset enable for Aspire 3810TTejun Heo2009-10-061-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Curiously, Aspire 3810T issues many SATA feature enable commands via _GTF, of which one is invalid and another is not supported by the drive. In the process, it also enables FPDMA non-zero offset. However, the feature also needs to be supported and enabled from the controller and it's wrong to enable it from _GTF unless the controller can do it by default. Currently, this ends up enabling FPDMA non-zero offset only on the drive side leading to NCQ command failures and eventual disabling of NCQ. This patch makes libata filter out FPDMA non-zero offset enable for the machine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the AHCI driver to display all of the HBA capabilities defined in the AHCI 1.3 specification. Some of these are in a new CAP2 (HBA Capabilities Extended) register which is only defined on AHCI 1.2 or later. The spec says that undefined registers should always return 0 on read, but to be safe we assume a value of 0 unless the controller reports AHCI version 1.2 or later. The value can also be retrieved through sysfs as with the existing capability field. For example, on an Intel Ibex Peak (PCH) controller: ahci 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ncq sntf stag pm led clo pmp pio slum part ems sxs apst We don't do anything special with the new flags yet.

This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished. This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers.

The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the error handling path and retries without locking them again which makes the next unlock fail. Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry.

| * | panic: Fix panic message visibility by calling bust_spinlocks(0) before dyingAaro Koskinen2009-10-051-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ffd71da4e3f ("panic: decrease oops_in_progress only after having done the panic") moved bust_spinlocks(0) to the end of the function, which in practice is never reached. As a result console_unblank() is not called, and on some systems the user may not see the panic message. Move it back up to before the unblanking.

So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function pointer abstraction. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This group improves an existing abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU stall-warning bug found while making the other changes. o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing the need to declare them at each call site. o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf nodes of the rcu_node tree. o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA stepping through the array in index-number order. o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore, the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf rcu_node structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The new home for this #include also allows __rcu_init_preempt() to move into rcutree_plugin.h. o Fix rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() to be static.
