* [PATCH] sparc32: add offset in pci_map_sg()Jan Andersson2006-12-301-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add sg->offset to sg->dvma_address in pci_map_sg() on sparc32. Without the offset, transfers to buffers that do not begin on a page boundary will not work as expected.

* [PATCH] kvm: fix GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section in ↵Ingo Molnar2006-12-303-20/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu() fix an GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section: kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu() called kvm_mmu_init(), which calls alloc_pages(), while holding the vcpu. The fix is to set up the MMU state in two phases: kvm_mmu_create() and kvm_mmu_setup(). (NOTE: free_vcpus does an kvm_mmu_destroy() call so there's no need for any extra teardown branch on allocation/init failure here.)

* [PATCH] KVM: Initialize kvm_arch_ops on unloadYoshimi Ichiyanagi2006-12-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest version of kvm doesn't initialize kvm_arch_ops in kvm_init(), which causes an error with the following sequence. 1. Load the supported arch's module. 2. Load the unsupported arch's module.$B!!(B(loading error) 3. Unload the unsupported arch's module. You'll get the following error message after step 3. "BUG: unable to handle to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx" The problem here is that the unsupported arch's module overwrites kvm_arch_ops of the supported arch's module at step 2. This patch initializes kvm_arch_ops upon loading architecture specific kvm module, and prevents overwriting kvm_arch_ops when kvm_arch_ops is already set correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fallback to PIO mode in the hwif->dma_check() handler doesn't work in the Intel PIIX and SMsC SLC90E66 IDE drivers because: - config_drive_for_dma() calls the hwif->speedproc() handler with a wrong mode number (unbiased by XFER_PIO_0) in case of the PIO fallback; - hwif->tuneproc() handler doesn't really set the drive's own speed (this is not fixed as yet).

* [PATCH] SPI: define null tx_buf to mean "shift out zeroes"David Brownell2006-12-303-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are (from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads. Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from "undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing, and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels. This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

* [PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offsetIngo Molnar2006-12-301-14/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with two narrow exceptions: - if the system is booting - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()). Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.) The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to only allow the narrow exceptions.

* [PATCH] Fix lock inversion aio_kick_handler()Zach Brown2006-12-301-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO: 1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with interrupts enabled. An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B). 2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C). 3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock. This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the lock.

* [PATCH] Fix IPMI watchdog set_param_str() using kstrdupSebastien Dugué2006-12-301-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | set_param_str() cannot use kstrdup() to duplicate the parameter. That's fine when the driver is compiled as a module but it sure is not when built into the kernel as the kernel parameters are parsed before the kmalloc slabs are setup.
