dd5b06c490 [PATCH] libata: implement dummy port
Implement dummy port which can be requested by setting appropriate bit
in probe_ent->dummy_port_mask.  The dummy port is used as placeholder
for stolen legacy port.  This allows libata to guarantee that
index_of(ap) == ap->port_no == actual_device_port_no, and thus to
remove error-prone ap->hard_port_no.

As it's used only when one port of a legacy controller is reserved by
some other entity (e.g. IDE), the focus is on keeping the added *code*
complexity at minimum, so dummy port allocates all libata core
resources and acts as a normal port.  It just has all dummy port_ops.

This patch only implements dummy port.  The following patch will make
libata use it for stolen legacy ports.

2ec7df0457 [PATCH] libata: rework legacy handling to remove much of the cruft
Kill host_set->next
Fix simplex support
Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.

tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...

* ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
* broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
* fix-new-legacy-handling:
	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
          incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
          probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.

	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.

	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
	  the first irq.

37deecb513 [PATCH] libata: implement per-dev xfermask
Implement per-dev xfermask.  libata used to determine xfermask
per-port - the fastest mode of the slowest device on the port.  This
patch enables per-dev xfermask.

Original patch is from Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>.  The following
changes are made by me.

* simplex warning message is added
* remove disabled device handling code which is never invoked
  (originally for choosing port-wide lowest PIO mode)

22aac0896b [PATCH] libata: clear sdev->locked on door lock failure
SCSI EH locks door if sdev->locked is set.  Sometimes door lock
command fails continuously (e.g. when medium is not present) and as
libata uses EH to acquire sense data, this easily creates a loop where
a failed lock door invokes EH and EH issues lock door on completion.

This patch clears sdev->locked on door lock failure to break this
loop.  This problem has been spotted and diagnosed by Unicorn Chang
<uchang@tw.ibm.com>.

80289167fd [PATCH] libata: Add support for SATA attachment to SAS adapters
The following patch enhances libata to allow SAS device drivers
to utilize libata to talk to SATA devices. It introduces some
new APIs which allow libata to be used without allocating a
virtual scsi host.

New APIs:

ata_sas_port_alloc - Allocate an ata_port
ata_sas_port_init - Initialize an ata_port (probe device, etc)
ata_sas_port_destroy - Free an ata_port allocated by ata_sas_port_alloc
ata_sas_slave_configure - configure scsi device
ata_sas_queuecmd - queue a scsi command, similar to ata_scsi_queuecomand

These new APIs can be used either directly by a SAS LLDD or could be used
by the SAS transport class.

Possible usage for a SAS LLDD would be:

scsi_scan_host
	target_alloc
		ata_sas_port_alloc
	slave_alloc
		ata_sas_port_init
	slave_configure
		ata_sas_slave_configure

Commands received by the LLDD for SATA devices would call ata_sas_queuecmd.

Device teardown would occur with:

slave_destroy
	port_disable
target_destroy
	ata_sas_port_destroy

3e3183bab0 [PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errors
While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling;
don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_.  If the yield()
took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy),
we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready.

This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because
we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it.  I see nice
tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds
between successive phases.

Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all.  We should be using
interrupts.  That's an exercise for another day though.

225add6196 [PATCH] udf: initialize parts of inode earlier in create
I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF
filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw:

udf_create
        udf_new_inode
                new_inode
                        alloc_inode
                        	udf_alloc_inode
                udf_new_block
                        returns EIO due to readonlyness
                iput (on error)
                        udf_put_inode
                                udf_discard_prealloc
                                        udf_next_aext
                                                udf_current_aext
                                                        udf_get_fileshortad
                                                                OOPS

the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the
udf inode.

udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard
path if no extents are preallocated:

        if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB ||
                inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode))
        {
                return;
        }

so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode,
we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match
the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

2b8de5f50e [PATCH] pnpacpi: reject ACPI_PRODUCER resources
A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi.
Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO.

But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type
that are not handled by pnp layer.  So we should ignore the producer
resources.

This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292).
Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer
resources.

Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was
harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be
IO.

With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device
that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound
card).

The solution is to ignore producer resources

94f563c426 [PATCH] Fix BeFS slab corruption
In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported:

"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption.  This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length.  [...]

Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I
believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable
for me.  (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has
been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).)

Steps to reproduce:
Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g.,
"1", "22", "333", "4444", ...  Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find""

This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for
debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

e31f59ce59 [PATCH] ieee1394: sbp2: enable auto spin-up for Maxtor disks
At least Maxtor OneTouch III require a "start stop unit" command after auto
spin-down before the next access can proceed.  This patch activates the
responsible code in scsi_mod for all Maxtor SBP-2 disks.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=183011

Maybe that should be done for all SBP-2 disks, but better be cautious.

855f46ad15 [PATCH] Add stable branch to maintainers file
While helping someone to submit a patch to the stable branch, I noticed
that the stable branch is not listed in the MAINTAINERS file.  This was
after I went there to look for the email addresses for the stable branch
list (stable@kernel.org).

This patch adds the stable branch to the maintainers file so that people
can find where to send patches when they have a fix for the stable team.

757be18612 [PATCH] sh: fix proc file removal for superh store queue module
Clean up proc file removal in sq module for superh arch.  currently on a
failed module load or on module unload a proc file is left registered which
can cause a random memory execution or oopses if read after unload.  This
patch cleans up that deregistration.

64e0cc38b6 [PATCH] pSeries: hvsi char driver janitorial cleanup
A set of tty line discipline cleanup patches were introduced before the
dawn of time, in kernel version 2.4.21.  This patch performs that cleanup
for the hvsi driver.

The hvsi driver is used only on IBM pSeries PowerPC boxes.  The driver was
originally written by Hollis Blanchard, who has delegated maintainership to
me.  So this my first and maybe only patch in this official new role,
because this driver is otherwise bug-free :-)

Alan: "Actually its also a bug fix, tty->ldisc should be locked by refcounting
and the helpers do this for you."

2f34931fdc [PATCH] knfsd: fix race related problem when adding items to and svcrpc auth cache
If we don't find the item we are lookng for, we allocate a new one, and
then grab the lock again and search to see if it has been added while we
did the alloc.  If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly
created item that we are never going to use.  But as it hasn't been
initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops.

So move the ->init call earlier to that it will always be fully initilised
if we have to put it.

Thanks to Philipp Matthias Hahn <pmhahn@svs.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.de>
for reporting the problem.

60c371bc75 [PATCH] fadvise() make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op
The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the
file a single time".  It seems to be intended that the implementation will use
this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application
gets around to reading or writing it.

However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped
POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED.  ie: it does readahead.

That's daft.  So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op.

This is a non-back-compatible change.  If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
to perform readahead, they lose.  The likelihood is low.

If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to
do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all
sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data
structures will be interesting..

A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would
simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.
