If you setserial a port which has never been initialised we change the type
but don't update the I/O method pointers. The same problem is true if you
change the io type of a port - but nobody ever does that so nobody noticed!
Remember the old type and when attaching if the type has changed reload the
port accessor pointers. We can't do it blindly as some 8250 drivers load custom
accessors and we must not stomp those.

The following patch fixes:
- re-initialization of host->col_addr which is used as byte index
between the successive READID flash commands.
- compile error when CONFIG_PM is enabled
- pass on the error code from clk_get()
- return -ENOMEM in case of failed ioremap()
- pass on the return value of platform_driver_probe() directly
- remove excessive printk
- let command line partition table parsing with mxc_nand name.
The cmd_line parsing is done via <mtd-id> name that differs
from mxc_nand by default and looks like "NAND 256MiB 1,8V 8-bit"

This reverts commit 26e1287594864169577327fef233befc9739be3b.
A larger patch (f7e7aa585) a few days after this one added the same line
to the Makefile, but in a different place. While it'd be more correct to
revert that one, it's easier to revert this one because this is a
one-liner.

This patch (as1244) fixes a crash in usb-serial that occurs when a
sub-driver returns a positive value from its attach method, indicating
that new firmware was loaded and the device will disconnect and
reconnect. The usb-serial core then skips the step of registering the
port devices; when the disconnect occurs, the attempt to unregister
the ports fails dramatically.
This problem shows up with Keyspan devices and it might affect others
as well.
When the attach method returns a positive value, the patch sets
num_ports to 0. This tells usb_serial_disconnect() not to try
unregistering any of the ports; instead they are cleaned up by
destroy_serial().

The option driver (and presumably others) allocates several URBs when it
opens and tries to free them when it closes. The isp1760_urb_dequeue
function gets called, but the packet being dequeued is not necessarily at
the
front of one of the 32 queues. If not, the isp1760_urb_done function doesn't
get called for the URB and the process trying to free it hangs forever on a
wait_queue. This patch does two things. If the URB being dequeued has others
queued behind it, it re-queues them. And it searches the queues looking for
the URB being dequeued rather than just looking at the one at the front of
the queue.

Sometimes devices send us their responses in time but due to
unfortunate scheduling decisions the receiving thread does not
get scheduled till much later and we erroneously decide that
device timed out. Work around this problem by checking whether we

When a GEM object is evicted from the GTT we set it to the CPU domain,
as it might get swapped in and out or ever mmapped regularly. If the
object is mmapped through the GTT it can still get evicted in this way
by other objects requiring GTT space. When the GTT mapping is touched
again we fault it back into the GTT, but fail to set it back to the
GTT domain. This means we fail to flush any cached CPU writes to the
pages backing the object which will then happen "eventually", typically
after we write to the page through the uncached GTT mapping.
[anholt: Note that userland does do a set_domain(GTT, GTT) when starting
to access the GTT mapping. That covers getting the existing mapping of the
object synchronized if it's bound to the GTT. But set_domain(GTT, GTT)
doesn't do anything if the object is currently unbound. This fix covers the
transition to being bound for GTT mapping.]

An oops can occur if a user attempts to use both PCI logical
hotplug and the ACPI physical hotplug driver (acpiphp) in this
sequence, where $slot/address == $device.
In other words, if acpiphp has claimed a PCI device, and that
device is logically removed, then acpiphp may oops when it
attempts to access it again.
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$device/remove

The root cause of this oops is that the logical remove ("echo 1 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/$device/remove") destroyed the pci_dev. The
pci_dev struct itself wasn't deallocated because acpiphp kept a
reference, but some of its fields became invalid.
acpiphp doesn't have any real reason to keep a pointer to a
pci_dev around. It can always derive it using pci_get_slot().
If a logical remove destroys the pci_dev, acpiphp won't find it
and is thus prevented from causing mischief.

On the 865, but not the 855, the clflush we do appears to not actually make
it out to the hardware all the time. An easy way to safely reproduce was
X -retro, which would show that some of the blits involved in drawing the
lovely root weave didn't make it out to the hardware. Those blits are 32
bytes each, and 1-2 would be missing at various points around the screen.
Other experimentation (doing more clflush, doing more AGP chipset flush,
poking at some more device registers to maybe trigger more flushing) didn't
help. krh came up with the wbinvd as a way to successfully get all those
blits to appear.

The pitch field is an exponent on pre-965, so we were rejecting buffers
on 8xx that we shouldn't have. 915 got lucky in that the largest legal
value happened to match (8KB / 512 = 0x10), but 8xx has a smaller tile width.
Additionally, we programmed that bad value into the register on 8xx, so the
only pitch that would work correctly was 4096 (512-1023 pixels), while others
would probably give bad rendering or hangs.

cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor
The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.
The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :
dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.
The following patch applies to, at least, 2.6.28.x, 2.6.29.1, 2.6.30-rc2.

use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.
The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :
dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.
Depends on patch
cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call
The following patch applies to 2.6.30-rc2. Stable kernels have a similar
issue which should also be fixed, but the code changed between 2.6.29
and 2.6.30, so this patch only applies to 2.6.30-rc.

The patches linked above depend on the following patch to remove
circular locking dependency :
cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call
(the following issue was faced when using cancel_delayed_work_sync() in the
timer teardown (which fixes a race).

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.
The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().
Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :
cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
if (cpufreq_driver->target)
__cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.
Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.
Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event
sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If
not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes
active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not
see a new interrupt.
The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the
NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we
can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all
activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always
ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all
sources quiescent.

Changeset ca17584bf2ad1b1e37a5c0e4386728cc5fc9dabc ("mac8390: update
to net_device_ops") broke mac8390 by adding 8390.o to the link. That
meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in mac8390.c and once in
8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by
avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. They seem to be of no value since
COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS is going away soon.
Tested with a Kinetics EtherPort card.

md has no need for the BKL - it does its own locking.
So md_ioctl doesn't need to be a locked_ioctl.

In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated
curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.
The reshape code updates both at the same time. However since
commit 97e4f42d62badb0f9fbc27c013e89bc1336a03bc
the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed
but is not in a position to update reshape_position.
So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is
happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update
curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality
reshape code.

As sector_t in unsigned, we cannot afford to let 'safepos' etc go
negative.
So replace
a -= b;
by
a -= min(b,a);

The md resync engine has a 'frozen' state which ensures that
no resync/recovery. This is used to avoid races.
Export this state through the 'sync_action' sysfs attribute
so that user-space can benefit and also avoid some races.

The code for checking which bits in the bitmap can be cleared
has 2 problems:
1/ it repeatedly takes and drops a spinlock, where it would make
more sense to just hold on to it most of the time.
2/ it doesn't make use of some opportunities to skip large sections
of the bitmap
This patch fixes those. It will only affect CPU consumption, not
correctness.
