2008-03-26Revert "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 8fa5913d54f3b1e09948e6a0db34da887e05ff1f, which caused various interesting problems for people, including wrong resource allocations. See for example bugzilla entry "2.6.25-rc2: ohci1394 problem (MMIO broken)" at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080 And Gary Hade says: "The same change had also exposed an issue reported by Paul Martin that has been causing an Oops while hotplugging ThinkPads to a ThinkPad Dock II. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/405 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9961 I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal change I totally agree that it should be reverted." The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in the transparent bridge sizing calculations. A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation" change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which actually resolves the original issue in a different manner. So, even if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it is no longer needed anyway."

2008-03-25cxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lockRoland Dreier
Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.25-rc6 #50 --------------------------------- inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage. swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes: (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3] The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c. This is technically a false positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context. The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in sge.c. Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup slow paths.

o eliminate tx lock in netxen adapter struct, instead pound on netdev tx lock appropriately. o remove old "concurrent transmit" code that unnecessarily drops and reacquires tx lock in hard_xmit_frame(), this is already serialized the netdev xmit lock. o reduce scope of tx lock in tx cleanup. tx cleanup operates on different section of the ring than transmitting cpus and is guarded by producer and consumer indices.

2008-03-24PCI: iova: lockdep false alarm fixMark Gross
lockdep goes off on the iova copy_reserved_iova() because it and a function it calls grabs locks in the from, and the to of the copy operation. The function grab locks of the same lock classes triggering the warning. The first lock grabbed is for the constant reserved areas that is never accessed after early boot. Technically you could do without grabbing the locks for the "from" structure its copying reserved areas from. But dropping the from locks to me looks wrong, even though it would be ok. The affected code only runs in early boot as its setting up the DMAR engines. This patch gives the reserved_ioval_list locks special lockdep classes.

2008-03-24USB: ehci: stop vt6212 bus hoggingRene Herman
The VIA VT6212 defaults to only waiting 1us between passes over EHCI's async ring, which hammers PCI badly ... and by preventing other devices from accessing the bus, causes problems like drops in IDE throughput, a problem that's been bugging users of those chips for several years. A (partial) datasheet for this chip eventually turned up, letting us see how to make it use a VIA-specific register to switch over to the the normal 10us value instead, as suggested by the EHCI specification Solution noted by Lev A. Melnikovsky. It's not clear whether this register exists on other VIA chips; we know that it's ineffective on the vt8235.

2008-03-24sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2Mikael Pettersson
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up. This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue. The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.) This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw() that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock. We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement. The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses are inside the region protected by host->lock. Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4, FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks, with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current: - Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to. Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end. - Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file and better explains what this really does. Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with that important task.

2008-03-24mtd: memory corruption in block2mtd.cIngo van Lil
The block2mtd driver (drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c) will kfree an on-stack pointer when handling an invalid argument line (e.g. block2mtd=/dev/loop0,xxx). The kfree was added some time ago when "name" was dynamically allocated.
