* 9p: fix endian issues [attempt 3]Eric Van Hensbergen2009-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | When the changes were done to the protocol last release, some endian bugs crept in. This patch fixes those endian problems and has been verified to run on 32/64 bit and x86/ppc architectures. This version of the patch incorporates the correct annotations for endian variables.

* 3c509: Fix resume from hibernation for PnP mode.Ondrej Zary2009-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ondrej Zary <linux@rainbow-software.org> last year, I posted a patch which fixed hibernation on 3c509 cards. That was back in 2.6.24. It worked fine in 2.6.25. But then I stopped using hibernation (as it did not work with my new IT8212 RAID controller). Now I fixed it and noticed that 3c509 does not wake up properly anymore (in 2.6.28) - neither in PnP nor in ISA modes. ifconfig down/up makes the card work again in PnP mode. However, in ISA mode, ifconfig up ends with "No such device" error. Comparing the 3c509 driver between 2.6.25 and 2.6.28, there's only some statistics-related change. So the cause of the problem must be somewhere else. This patch makes the resume work in PnP mode, but it's still not enough for ISA mode. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* sungem: Soft lockup in sungem on Netra AC200 when switching interface upIlkka Virta2009-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ilkka Virta <itvirta@iki.fi> In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this. Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to napi_enable(). I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break anything too obvious... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* r8169: Don't update statistics counters when interface is downIvan Vecera2009-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close). It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* udp: Fix potential wrong ip_hdr(skb) pointersJesper Dangaard Brouer2009-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Like the UDP header fix, pskb_may_pull() can potentially alter the SKB buffer. Thus the saddr and daddr, pointers may point to the old skb->data buffer. I haven't seen corruptions, as its only seen if the old skb->data buffer were reallocated by another user and written into very quickly (or poison'd by SLAB debugging).

Thus we should wait for such buses to settle after the reset, but it's not a good idea to wait that long (1.1 s) with interrupts off. On the other hand, we have never waited for buses in B2 and B3 during resume and it seems reasonable to go back to this well tested behaviour. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Devices that have MSI-X enabled before suspend to RAM or hibernation and that are in a low power state during resume will not be handled correctly by pci_restore_standard_config(). Namely, it first calls pci_restore_state() which calls pci_restore_msi_state(), which in turn executes __pci_restore_msix_state() that accesses the device's memory space to restore the contents of the MSI-X table. However, if the device is in a low power state at this point, it's memory space is not accessible. The easiest way to fix this potential problem is to make pci_restore_standard_config() call pci_restore_state() after it has put the device into the full power state, D0. Fortunately, all of this is done with interrupts off, so the change of ordering should not cause any trouble. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Some of these callbacks expect the device's configuration space to be restored if the device has been put into D3 before they are called. Unfortunately, this mechanism has been broken by recent changes moving the restoration of config spaces of some devices (most importantly, USB controllers and HDA Intel) into the resume callbacks executed with interrupts off. Obviously, these callbacks are not invoked in the suspend error path and, as a result, the system cannot be successfully brought back into the working state in case of a suspend error. The same thing happens in the hibernation error path right before putting the system into S4. Similarly, the suspend testing facility associated with the /sys/power/pm_test file is broken, because it uses the very same mechanism that is used in the suspend and hibernation error paths. Fix the breakage by making the PCI core restore the configuration spaces of PCI devices that haven't been restored already before pci_pm_resume() is called for those devices by the PM core.

When this array overflows and a struct is allocated by kmalloc(), it may have an address at the upper bound of this array. If this happens, it does not get freed and the per cpu kmem_cache_cpu_free pointer will be out of bounds after kmem_cache_destroy() or cpu offlining.

| | * | | kmalloc: return NULL instead of link failureJeff Mahoney2009-01-27
| | |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SLAB kmalloc with a constant value isn't consistent with the other implementations because it bails out with __you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much rather than returning NULL and properly allowing the caller to fall back to vmalloc or take other action. This doesn't happen with a non-constant value or with SLOB or SLUB. Starting with 2.6.28, I've been seeing build failures on s390x. This is due to init_section_page_cgroup trying to allocate 2.5MB when the max size for a kmalloc on s390x is 2MB. It's failing because the value is constant. The workarounds at the call size are ugly and the caller shouldn't have to change behavior depending on what the backend of the API is. So, this patch eliminates the link failure and returns NULL like the other implementations.

This seems to depend on a value (4) read from PLL_EXT_CNTL register, which leads to incorrect DSP config parameters to be written to the chip. This patch uses a value calculated by aty_init_pll_ct instead, as a starting point. There are questions as to whether this should be extended to other platforms or maybe made dependent on specific chip types, but in the meantime, this has been tested on various powermacs and works for them so let's commit it.

Without this patch, the memory window BAR is left at whatever value happened to be loaded into the BAR when Linux was booted. Without this patch, memory could end up getting mapped at any of the 1G address boundaries instead of at '0' where Linux expects it. Similarly, this patch also ensures that the internally memory mapped registers (IMMR) are mapped to the correct PCI address range. Without this patch, PCI appears to work correctly until a PCI device is inserted which DMAs into memory.
