2010-04-08libata: Fix accesses at LBA28 boundary (old bug, but nasty) (v2)Mark Lord1-2/+2
Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands, do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1). So instead use LBA48 for such accesses. This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems, it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at 0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

2010-04-07x.25 attempts to negotiate invalid throughputJohn Hughes2-7/+28
The current X.25 code has some bugs in throughput negotiation: 1. It does negotiation in all cases, usually there is no need 2. It incorrectly attempts to negotiate the throughput class in one direction only. There are separate throughput classes for input and output and if either is negotiated both mist be negotiates. This is bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15681 This bug was first reported by Daniel Ferenci to the linux-x25 mailing list on 6/8/2004, but is still present. The current (2.6.34) x.25 code doesn't seem to know that the X.25 throughput facility includes two values, one for the required throughput outbound, one for inbound. This causes it to attempt to negotiate throughput 0x0A, which is throughput 9600 inbound and the illegal value "0" for inbound throughput. Because of this some X.25 devices (e.g. Cisco 1600) refuse to connect to Linux X.25. The following patch fixes this behaviour. Unless the user specifies a required throughput it does not attempt to negotiate. If the user does not specify a throughput it accepts the suggestion of the remote X.25 system. If the user requests a throughput then it validates both the input and output throughputs and correctly negotiates them with the remote end.

2010-04-08hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_removeAnton Blanchard1-4/+0
I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting. Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open: if (hp->count++ > 0) { tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags); hvc_kick(); return 0; } /* else count == 0 */ tty->driver_data = hp; hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0 But hvc_close has: tty_kref_get(tty); if (--hp->count == 0) { ... /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */ tty_kref_put(tty); ... } tty_kref_put(tty); Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when count reaches 0. The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

As reported in <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15355>, r6040_ multicast_list currently crashes. This is due a wrong maximum of multicast entries. This patch fixes the following issues with multicast: - number of maximum entries if off-by-one (4 instead of 3) - the writing of the hash table index is not necessary and leads to invalid values being written into the MCR1 register, so the MAC is simply put in a non coherent state - when we exceed the maximum number of mutlticast address, writing the broadcast address should be done in registers MID_1{L,M,H} instead of MID_O{L,M,H}, otherwise we would loose the adapter's MAC address Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

2010-04-07mb862xxfb: update Valentin's email addressAlexander Shishkin1-1/+1
Since Valentin's email address @siemens.com is no longer valid, it's time to change it to the one that actually works so that I don't have to manually forward patches against mb862xx to him every time.

2010-04-07mb862xxfb: fix acceleration module licenseRandy Dunlap1-0/+3
mb862xxfb_accel built as a separate module, but it does not have a MODULE_LICENSE, so it taints the kernel. Add a MODULE_LICENSE to it (same as mb862xxfb license). mb862xxfb_accel: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. Or should mb862xxfb_accel be built into the mb862xxfb binary file instead?

2010-04-07mm: revert "vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup"KOSAKI Motohiro1-14/+9
Shaohua Li reported his tmpfs streaming I/O test can lead to make oom. The test uses a 6G tmpfs in a system with 3G memory. In the tmpfs, there are 6 copies of kernel source and the test does kbuild for each copy. His investigation shows the test has a lot of rotated anon pages and quite few file pages, so get_scan_ratio calculates percent[0] (i.e. scanning percent for anon) to be zero. Actually the percent[0] shoule be a big value, but our calculation round it to zero. Although before commit 84b18490 ("vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup") , we have the same problem too. But the old logic can rescue percent[0]==0 case only when priority==0. It had hided the real issue. I didn't think merely streaming io can makes percent[0]==0 && priority==0 situation. but I was wrong. So, definitely we have to fix such tmpfs streaming io issue. but anyway I revert the regression commit at first. This reverts commit 84b18490d1f1bc7ed5095c929f78bc002eb70f26.

2010-04-07devmem: handle class_create() failureAnton Blanchard1-0/+3
I hit this when we had a bug in IDR for a few days. Basically sysfs would fail to create new inodes since it uses an IDR and therefore class_create would fail. While we are unlikely to see this fail we may as well handle it instead of oopsing.
