| * | fix sg_phys to use dma_addr_tHugh Dickins2007-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86_32 CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G with 5GB RAM hung when booting, after issuing some "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000" messages in trying to exec /sbin/init. The binprm buf doesn't see the right ".ELF" header because sg_phys() is providing the wrong physical addresses for high pages: a 32-bit unsigned long is too small in this case, we need to use dma_addr_t.

The 4726 doesn't work as PMP but as a storage processor which can do hardware RAID on downstream ports. When no device is attached to the downstream port of the 4726, pseudo ATA device for configuration appears. Unfortunately, ATA emulation on the device is very lousy and causes long hang during boot. This patch implements workaround for the board. If the mainboard is P5W-DH Deluxe (matched using DMI), only hardreset is used on the second port of AHCI controller @ 1f.2 and the hardreset doesn't depend on receiving the first FIS and just proceed to IDENTIFY.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Local variable @action usage in ata_eh_reset() is a bit confusing. It's used only to cache ehc->i.action to test reset masks after clearing it; however, due to the generic name "action", it's easy to misinterpret the local variable as containing the selected reset method later. Also, the reason for caching the original value is easy to miss. This patch renames @action to @tmp_action and make it buffer newly selected value instead to improve readability.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance() function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that are called with two run queue locks held. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these operations. Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
