* Merge by hand (conflicts in scsi_lib.c)James Bottomley2005-12-15
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This merge is pretty extensive. The conflict is over the new req->retries parameter, so I had to change the prototype to scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd() and the usage in sd, sr and st. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ERR_SEVERITY item is defined as a 8 bits item in SAL documentation ($B.2.1 rev december 2003), but as an u16 in sal.h. This has the side effect that current code in mca.c may not call ia64_sal_clear_state_info() upon receiving corrected platform errors if there are bits set in the validation byte.

* | | | [SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectorsMike Christie2005-12-15

Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

* | | | [SCSI] add retries field to request for REQ_BLOCK_PC useMike Christie2005-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For tape we need to control the retries. This patch adds a retries counter on the request for REQ_BLOCK_PC commands originating from scsi_execute* to use. REQ_BLOCK_PC commands comming from the block layer SG_IO path continue to use the retires set in the ULD init_command.

Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c. I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so I removed the warning on the function header. I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel.

* | | [PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced versionKnut Petersen2005-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

The problem arises when a driver attempts to call do_munmap on an area which is mapped, but because current->thread.task_size has been set to 0xC0000000, the call to do_munmap fails thinking it is an unmap beyond the user's address space. The comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c in load_elf_library() before the call to SET_PERSONALITY() indicates that task_size must not be changed for the running application until flush_thread, but is for ia64 executing ia32 binaries. This patch moves the setting of task_size from SET_PERSONALITY() to flush_thread() as indicated. The customer application no longer is able to trip the bug.

Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU callbacks are executed.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.
