A recent patch in -mm3 titled
"gregkh-pci-pci-don-t-enable-device-if-already-enabled.patch" causes
pci_enable_device() to be a no-op if the kernel thinks that the device is
already enabled. This change breaks the PCI error recovery mechanism in
the e100 device driver, since, after PCI slot reset, the card is no longer
enabled. This is a trivial fix for this problem. Tested.

The following change from -mm is important to 2.6.18 (actually to 2.6.17
but its too late for that). This was contributed over three months ago
by VIA to Bartlomiej and nothing happened. As a result the new chipset
is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised
this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good
plan.
Tested in -mm for a while, its essentially a PCI ident update but for
the bridge chip because VIA do things in weird ways.

The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the
implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a
task. The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in
drivers.
This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create().
It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid.
Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch
renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task.
As an extension of these changes, the patch further:
- replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop()
- replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop()
- removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by
kthread_stop().

If we

- restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
- make some changes
- pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.
To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array

using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.
After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with

lock fixed the problem.

Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but
not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an

On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.
So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.
I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And
it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

In the cleanups of drivers/rtc/s3c-rtc.c, the base address for the
registers got broken. This patch fixes that by ensuring the readb/writeb
are all prefixed with the base returned from ioremap()ing the registers.
Also fix check for valid year range, which was the wrong way around.

The existing unusual_devs entry for the UCR-61S2B appears to have too
wide a revision range. It matches at least one device that doesn't
respond to the initialization sequence. Perhaps the sequence needs to
be updated, or perhaps something else can be done. For now, this patch
(as764) restricts the range to include only the revision mentioned in
the original comment.
This resolves (for now!) Bugzilla entry #6950.

This patch removes support for a clone of Nokia DKU-5 cable made by Ours
Technology Inc, as it turned out that the cable does not use the pl2303
chip, but OTI-6858 chip which is not compatible with the pl2303.

Here is a patch against the CPCI hotplug core to fix up PCI resource
assignment such that things will actually work when a hot inserted
device is enabled. I mentioned this patch to you way back in April at
ELC, but am only now out from under things enough to clean it up and
submit it. I've basically cribbed the corresponding code from
shpchp_pci.c, so there are no big surprises. If it's still possible, I
wouldn't mind this going into 2.6.18, but it wouldn't be the end of the
world if it went into 2.6.19.
