Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes.
These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a
syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash.
This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log
buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages
are obtained by registering a console driver and checking
oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the
chances of a saving messages.
To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x
is the mtd device number to use).

With current desing erase_free_sem is locked every time the flash
block is being erased. For NOR flashes - ~1 second is needed to erase
single flash block. In the worst case scenario erase_free_sem may be
locked for a couple of seconds when the number of blocks is being
erased (e.g. after large file was removed). When erase_free_sem is
locked all read/write operations for given JFFS2 partition are locked
too - in effect from time to time access to the JFFS2 partition is
locked for a number of seconds. This fix makes critical section in
flash erasing procedure shorter - now erase_free_sem is locked around
erase_completion_lock spinlock only.

jffs2_add_physical_node_ref() should never really return error -- it's
an internal debugging check which triggered. We really need to work out
why and stop it happening. But in the meantime, let's make the failure

ATA_HORKAGE_DMA_RW_ONLY for TORiSAN is verified to be subset of using
DMA for ATAPI commands which aren't aligned to 16 bytes. As libata
now doesn't use DMA for unaligned ATAPI commands, the horkage is
redundant. Kill it.

The IDE driver used DMA for ATAPI commands if READ/WRITE command is
multiple of sector size or sg command is multiple of 16 bytes. For
libata, READ/WRITE sector alignment is guaranteed by the high level
driver (sr), so we only have to worry about the 16 byte alignment.
This patch makes ata_check_atapi_dma() always request PIO for all data
transfer commands which are not multiple of 16 bytes.
The following reports are related to this problem.

The infamous abnormal status message triggers on not so abnormal cases
including empty port and even when it's being triggered on actual
errors the info it provides is redundant and out of context - higher
level functions will print the info in better safe later anyway.
Also, by being triggered all the time, it leads people to think that
the abnormality is somehow related to all ATA and system problems
they're experiencing and gives owners of healthy systems unfounded
doubts about the integrity of the universe. Make it a DPRINTK and
save the universe.

Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and
irq_chip mask/unmask routines. This will result in some races(especially
the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state,
resulting in issues like stuck irq,..).
Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating
irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after.
This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong.
There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the
process context). For example,
1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq.
2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context.
We plan to look and close these in the near future.
Eric says:
In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one
nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs(). However we exercise that code
path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world,
and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged. And a
fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area
if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if
we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug
and layer on fixup_irqs(). So this may come up again.
