2009-04-23GFS2: Fix bug in block allocationSteven Whitehouse1-2/+1
The new bitfit algorithm was counting from the wrong end of 64 bit words in the bitfield. This fixes it by using __ffs64 instead of fls64 Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-04-23bitops: Add __ffs64 bitopSteven Whitehouse1-0/+19
Finds the first set bit in a 64 bit word. This is required in order to fix a bug in GFS2, but I think it should be a generic function in case of future users. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Reviewed-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

2009-04-23ACPI: delete obsolete "bus master activity" proc fieldLen Brown2-4/+1
Linux-2.6.29 deleted the legacy ACPI idle handler, leaving the CPU_IDLE handler, which does not track bus master activity. So delete the unused bm_activity field -- it is confusing to print an always zero value.

Um, when?:-) Move this check to init-time to remove the unnecessary run-time overhead, and also to have the check complete before the first entry into the idle handler. ff69f2bba67bd45514923aaedbf40fe351787c59 (acpi: fix of pmtimer overflow that make Cx states time incorrect) replaced the hard-coded use of the PM-timer inside idle, with ktime_get_readl(), which possibly uses the TSC -- so it is now especially prudent to detect a broken TSC before entering idle. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13087 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-04-23eCryptfs: Larger buffer for encrypted symlink targetsTyler Hicks1-6/+18
When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet. This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't encrypted. Users were reporting these messages in their syslog: [ 45.653441] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real packet size is [51] [ 45.653444] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag 70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is This was due to bufsiz, one the arguments in readlink(), being used to when allocating the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink(). That symlink target may be very large, but when decoded and decrypted, could end up being smaller than bufsize. To fix this, the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink() will always be PATH_MAX in size when filename encryption is enabled. Any necessary truncation occurs after the decoding and decrypting.

2009-04-22palm_bk3710: UDMA performance fixDavid Brownell1-14/+12
Fix UDMA throughput bug: tCYC averages t2CYCTYP/2, but the code previously assumed it was the same as t2CYCTYP. (That is, it was using just one clock edge, not both.) Move the table's type declaration so it's adjacent to the table, making it more clear what those numbers mean. On one system this change increased throughput by almost 4x: UDMA/66 sometimes topped 23 MB/sec (on a drive known to do much better). On another system it was around a 10% win (UDMA/66 up to 7+ MB/sec). The difference might be caused by the ratio between memory and IDE clocks. In the system with large speedup, this was exactly 2 (as a workaround for a rev 1.1 silicon bug). The other system used a more standard ratio of 1.63 (and rev 2.1 silicon) ... clock domain synch might have some issues, they're not unheard-of.

2009-04-22sparc: Fix bus type probing for ESP and LE devices.David S. Miller2-4/+38
If there is a dummy "espdma" or "ledma" parent device above ESP scsi or LE ethernet device nodes, we have to match the bus as SBUS. Otherwise the address and size cell counts are wrong and we don't calculate the final physical device resource values correctly at all. Commit 5280267c1dddb8d413595b87dc406624bb497946 ("sparc: Fix handling of LANCE and ESP parent nodes in of_device.c") was meant to fix this problem, but that only influences the inner loop of build_device_resources(). We need this logic to also kick in at the beginning of build_device_resources() as well, when we make the first attempt to determine the device's immediate parent bus type for 'reg' property element extraction.

2009-04-22eCryptfs: Fix data corruption when using ecryptfs_passthroughTyler Hicks4-32/+41
ecryptfs_passthrough is a mount option that allows eCryptfs to allow data to be written to non-eCryptfs files in the lower filesystem. The passthrough option was causing data corruption due to it not always being treated as a non-eCryptfs file. The first 8 bytes of an eCryptfs file contains the decrypted file size. This value was being written to the non-eCryptfs files, too. Also, extra 0x00 characters were being written to make the file size a multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.

2009-04-22eCryptfs: NULL pointer dereference in ecryptfs_send_miscdev()Tyler Hicks2-99/+11

AF_IUCV runs into a race when queuing incoming iucv messages and receiving the resulting backlog. If the Linux system is under pressure (high load or steal time), the message queue grows up, but messages are not received and queued onto the backlog queue. In that case, applications do not receive any data with recvmsg() even if AF_IUCV puts incoming messages onto the message queue. The race can be avoided if the message queue spinlock in the message_pending callback is spreaded across the entire callback function.

2009-04-22block: make blk_abort_queue() ignore non-request based devicesJens Axboe1-0/+6
There's nothing to do for those devices, since the timeout handling is based on requests. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-22block: include empty disks in /proc/diskstatsTejun Heo2-4/+9
/proc/diskstats used to show stats for all disks whether they're zero-sized or not and their non-zero partitions. Commit 074a7aca7afa6f230104e8e65eba3420263714a5 accidentally changed the behavior such that it doesn't print out zero sized disks. This patch implements DISK_PITER_INCL_EMPTY_PART0 flag to partition iterator and uses it in diskstats_show() such that empty part0 is shown in /proc/diskstats. Reported and bisectd by Dianel Collins.

2009-04-22bio: use bio_kmalloc() in copy/map functionsTejun Heo1-3/+3
Impact: remove possible deadlock condition There is no reason to use mempool backed allocation for map functions. Also, because kern mapping is used inside LLDs (e.g. for EH), using mempool backed allocation can lead to deadlock under extreme conditions (mempool already consumed by the time a request reached EH and requests are blocked on EH). Switch copy/map functions to bio_kmalloc(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
