| * ACPI, i915: Register ACPI video even when not modesettingMatthew Garrett2009-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ACPI video driver defers registration to the i915 driver if the system supports opregion-mediated backlight control. This registration was only being performed in the KMS case. Ensure it's done even if we don't have modesetting enabled. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13048 Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

| * | ACPI/hpet: prevent boot hang when hpet=force used on ICH-4MLen Brown2009-04-23
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux tells ICH4 users that they can (manually) invoke "hpet=force" to enable the undocumented ICH-4M HPET. The HPET becomes available for both clocksource and clockevents. But as of ff69f2bba67bd45514923aaedbf40fe351787c59 (acpi: fix of pmtimer overflow that make Cx states time incorrect) the HPET may be used via clocksource for idle accounting, and hpet=force on an ICH4 box hangs boot. It turns out that touching the MMIO HPET withing the ARB_DIS part of C3 will hang the hardware. The fix is to simply move the timer access outside the ARB_DIS region. This is a no-op on modern hardware because ARB_DIS is no longer used. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13087 Acked-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

| * | ACPI video: handle indexed _BQC correctlyZhang Rui2009-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the current code, for a box with an indexed _BQC method, we 1. get the current brightness level by evaluating _BQC 2. set the value gotten in step 1 to _BCM 3. get the current brightness level again 4. set the _BQC_use_index flag if the results gotten in step 1 and in step 3 don't equal. But this logic doesn't work actually, because the _BQC_use_index is not set when acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level is invoked. This results in a failure in step 2. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12249#c83 Now, we set the _BQC_use_index flag after invoking _BQC for the first time. And reevaluate the _BQC to get the correct brightness level. Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The consequence of this is that the "timer" trigger would not cause the LED to blink if given default parameters. This problem exists since 2.6.26-rc1. To fix it, switch the deferred LED work handling to use the thinkpad-acpi-specific LED status (off/on/blink) directly. This also makes the code easier to read, and to extend later.

Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Strictly speaking it was using join_transaction which would be safe, but it is better to move the transaction outside of the lock. When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was being called on an unlocked buffer. This was triggering an assertion and oops because the lock is supposed to be held. The bug was calling btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty on a leaf after btrfs_del_item had been run. btrfs_del_item takes care of dirtying things, so the solution is a to skip the btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty call in this case.

We never directly used the results of the read done by this function because the btree search is started over at the end. This fixes reada_for_balance to reada in the correct node and to avoid searching past the last slot in the node. It also makes sure to hold the parent lock while we are finding the nodes to read.

But, it was doing the update after unlocking the page, which isn't legal because page->mapping can't be trusted once the page is unlocked. This lead to an oops, especially common with compression turned on. The fix here is to update the writeback index before unlocking the page. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it from being fully effective. There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second, the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO. But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay the higher priority IO. This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list. The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data or metadata integrity. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

This patch mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for other latency critical writes. Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done, and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe. This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.
