7a801184fa libata: Fixup n_elem initialization
Fixup the inialization of qc->n_elem. It currently gets
initialized to 1 for commands that do not transfer any data.
Fix this by initializing n_elem to 0 and only setting to 1
in ata_scsi_qc_new when there is data to transfer. This fixes
some problems seen with SATA devices attached to ipr adapters.

07c53dac49 ahci: don't enter slumber on power down
Some ATA/ATAPI devices act weirdly after the link is put into slumber
mode.  Some hang completely requiring physical power removal while
others fail to wake up till the link is hardreset a couple of times.

The addition of slumber on power down was never driven by real need.
It just followed what ahci spec said literally.  The spec itself seems
faulty in that it doesn't consider devices (not controllers) which
don't support link powersaving mode.

Theory never matches reality when it comes to dark allys of cheap
ATA/ATAPI world.  It's just unrealistic to expect vendors to test
rarely used link powersaving feature rigorously.  This patch makes
ahci more friendly to the coldness of reality.

This shouldn't have any negative effect - when suspend operation
succeeds, we power off the whole machine; otherwise, we wake up
everything.  I can't see any reason to be so elaborate with powering
down the link in the first place.

f740d1689d sata_nv: don't rely on NV_INT_DEV indication with ADMA
Several people reported issues with certain drive commands timing out on
sata_nv controllers running in ADMA mode. The commands in question were
non-DMA-mapped commands, usually FLUSH CACHE or FLUSH CACHE EXT.

 From experimentation it appears that the NV_INT_DEV indication isn't
always set when a legitimate command completion interrupt is received on
a legacy-mode command, at least not on these controllers in ADMA mode.
When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the
irq_stat value before calling nv_host_intr so that the drive busy state
is always checked by ata_host_intr.

This also fixes some questionable code in nv_host_intr which called
ata_check_status when a command was pending and ata_host_intr returned
"unhandled". If the device interrupted at just the wrong time this could
cause interrupts to be lost.

82490c0937 ahci: make ULi M5288 ignore interface fatal error bit
As with JMicron controllers, ULi M5288 sets interface fatal error bit
on device error including ATAPI CC.  This makes libata hardreset the
port on ATAPI CC thus making it impossible to use.  Ignore interface

2748e5dec7 [NETFILTER]: Fix iptables ABI breakage on (at least) CRIS
With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility
by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of
XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger.

On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have
any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure
layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following
members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align
data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility
with old iptables binaries.

Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled
against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been
there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

fb7e2399ec [TCP]: skb is unexpectedly freed.
I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.

The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server.  Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server.  (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)

This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().

When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process().  If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().

However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request().  But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed.  Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.

I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

Thanks to Herbet Xu for pointing this out. See:

There's also a general issue as well as a solution proposed

submitting a separate patch for that later.

I request that this be applied to 2.6.20 since it's

1b5180b651 [PATCH] notifiers: fix blocking_notifier_call_chain() scalability
while lock-profiling the -rt kernel i noticed weird contention during
mmap-intense workloads, and the tracer showed the following gem, in one
of our MM hotpaths:

 threaded-2771  1....   65us : sys_munmap (sysenter_do_call)
 threaded-2771  1....   66us : profile_munmap (sys_munmap)
 threaded-2771  1....   66us : blocking_notifier_call_chain (profile_munmap)
 threaded-2771  1....   66us : rt_down_read (blocking_notifier_call_chain)

ouch! a global rw-semaphore taken in one of the most performance-
sensitive codepaths of the kernel.  And i dont even have oprofile
enabled! All distro kernels have CONFIG_PROFILING enabled, so this
scalability problem affects the majority of Linux users.

The fix is to enhance blocking_notifier_call_chain() to only take the
lock if there appears to be work on the call-chain.

With this patch applied i get nicely saturated system, and much higher
munmap performance, on SMP systems.

And as a bonus this also fixes a similar scalability bottleneck in the
thread-exit codepath: profile_task_exit() ...

95543179f1 [PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier
A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset.  See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254

However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.

I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

ac8be95504 [MIPS] SMTC: Instant IPI replay.
SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.
