9b833e428a [SCSI] ibmvscsi: prevent scsi commands being sent in invalid state
There is a window where we can be re-enabling an adapter, but
still allow SCSI commands to be sent to the target.  This fix
sets our window (request_limit) to -1 as soon as we know the
adapter is being reenabled, and closes a very teeny tiny
window where we could set the window back to 1 before we
grab a lock.

21b2f0c803 [SCSI] unify SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND implementations
We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code.  Both of them have drawbacks.

This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:

 - argument checking
 - use scatterlist I/O
 - set number of retries based on the submitted command

This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path.  Jens, what do you think about adding a check
for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer?

Thanks to  Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

9227c33de8 [PATCH] move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class
Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as

Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is

9b41046cd0 [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).

And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().

	start_kernel()
		-> parse_args()
			-> unknown_bootoption()
				-> obsolete_checksetup()

If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.

If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].

Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

63af2a5c59 [PATCH] sata_mv: three bug fixes
(1) A DMA transfer size of 0x10000 was not being written
as 0x0000 in the PRDs.  Fixed.

(1) The DEV_IRQ interrupt cause bit happens spuriously
during EDMA operation, and was not being ignored by the driver.
This led to various "drive busy" errors being reported,
with associated unpredictable behaviour.  Fixed.

(2) If a SATA or PCI interrupt was received with no outstanding
command, the interrupt handler still attempted to invoke
ata_qc_complete(), triggering assert()/BUG_ON() behaviour
elsewhere in libata.  Fixed.

The driver still has issues with confusion after error-recovery,
but should now  be reliable in the absence of drive errors.
I will be looking more into the error-handling bugs next.

5444a6f405 [PATCH] libata: Simplex and other mode filtering logic
Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed

Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
Filter according to simplex state
Filter cable in core

This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.

Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.

4e5ec5dba2 [PATCH] libata: BMDMA handling updates
This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with
a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers)
safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not
assigned by the BIOS for some reason.

Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
hardware. A following diff will deal with that.

The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual
Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not
compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this
later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the

board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

This patch implements ata_dev_disable() which prints a warning message

incrementing dev->class with case-by-case warning messages.  Giving
user clear indication when libata gives up will be more important as
libata will be doing more retries.

1f7dd3e9d6 [PATCH] libata: check if port is disabled after internal command
libata core is being changed to disallow port/device disable on lower
layers.  However, some LLDDs (sata_mv) directly disable port on
command failure.  This patch makes ata_exec_internal() check whether a
port got disabled after an internal command.  If it is, AC_ERR_SYSTEM
is added to err_mask and the port gets re-enabled.

As internal command failure results in device disable for drivers
which don't implement newer reset/EH callbacks, this change results in
no behavior change for single device per port controllers.  For
slave-possible LLDDs which disable port on command failure, (1) such
drivers don't exist currently, (2) issuing command to the other device
of once-disabled port shouldn't result in catastrophe even if such
driver exists.  So, this should be enough as a temporary measure.

ac2b898ca6 [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option
SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)

Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

4d4681f6b9 [libata] fix oops on non-DMA bmdma hardware
Alan noted: "bmdma may be zero but the bmdma_irq_clear function gets
called even in this case during pure PIO operation. Check we have a
bmdma before we use it."

I fixed this by adding a check for zero.  While was I there, I fixed the
non-standard indentation of the small function's code.

d33d44facc [PATCH] libata: two new PCI helpers
The first performs the simplex clearing relevant to some chipsets that
report simplex by default but can in fact do more if poked. The second
is used to strip DMA modes from a PCI control with no BAR4 allocation.

806a6e7a99 [libata] sata_mv: off-by-1 fix
This patch addresses a number of weird behaviours observed
for the sata_mv driver, by fixing an "off by one" bug in processing
of the EDMA response queue.

Basically, sata_mv was looking in the wrong place for
command results, and this produced a lot of unpredictable behaviour.
