  • Random sampling of some URLs in the Documentation tree to see how many were
    stale found that one watchdog driver was now a porn site. In fact if the
    watchdogs document directory was any older it would be written in latin

    Clean it up somewhat and add Last reviewed headers, something all the
    Documentation could do with IMHO.

  • Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem
    on a cciss device is still active. The cciss_remove_one function only
    properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its
    users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called.

    This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern
    used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches.
    It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the
    __devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as
    the pci_driver.shutdown method.

  • A number of items in the i386 boot documentation have been either
    vague, outdated or hard to read. This text revision adds several more
    examples, including a memory map for a modern kernel load. It also
    adds a field-by-field detailed description of the setup header, and a
    bootloader ID for Qemu.

    in case the argument is a variable but in case it's a constant it behaves
    wrong and returns 0. Probably nobody ever did it so this was never noticed.

  • As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch

    [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
    commit: 071b638689464c6b39407025eedd810d5b5e6f5d

    was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that.

    From the changelog:

    after this patch:
    ...
    delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

    The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,

    it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after
    cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this
    work_struct.

  • This reverts commit c8fdd247255a3a027cd9f66dcf93e6847d1d2f85.

    It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc
    bug. The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the
    the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2"
    is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64
    will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that
    the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to
    generate 32-bit code.

  • As with all other drivers, sata_nv's hpriv is allocated with

    and use ata_pci_remove_one() directly.

  • pci_enable_msi failure is a normal event so we should not print any error.
    Going over the code I spotted a missing pci_disable_msi() leak when irq
    allocation fails. The whole code also needed a cleanup, so I combined the
    two different calls to pci_request_irq into a single call making this
    look a lot better. All #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_MSI's have been removed.

    Compile tested with both CONFIG_PCI_MSI enabled and disabled.

  • The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is
    completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer,
    it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final
    state. Thus, I/O barriers are added where required.

    Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of
    bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb. Hardware reordering
    was also theoretically possible.

  • Original patch is from Jeff Haran with my minor style
    fixes. His comments follow:

    The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
    autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a
    read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4),
    followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While
    the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE
    specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843)
    the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set
    (bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the
    write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software
    reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its
    power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating
    the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to
    spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear
    before doing the modify/write.
    The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
    forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a
    software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control
    register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same
    register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY
    itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset
    is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this
    software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of
    mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on
    some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the
    function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing
    the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.
