2010-05-09cpuidle: Fix incorrect optimizationArjan van de Ven
commit 672917dcc78 ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit") added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle. Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis. The fix is simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle. During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a local variable is always used instead.

2010-05-07md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down.NeilBrown
Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that it could spin down and say spun down. Device failure/removal etc are still recorded on spares. However commit 51d5668cb2e3fd1827a55 broke this 50% of the time, depending on whether the event count is even or odd. The change log entry said: This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and 'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it could take arbitrarily long. So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even, force a second metadata-update immediately. There are already cases where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a device fails during the metadata update). We just piggy-back on that.

2010-05-06V4L/DVB: saa7146: fix regression of the av7110/budget-av driverHans Verkuil
An earlier regression fix for the mxb driver (V4L/DVB: saa7146_vv: fix regression where v4l2_device was registered too late) caused a new regression in the av7110 driver. Reverted the old fix and fixed the problem in the mxb driver instead. Tested on mxb and budget-av cards. The real problem is that the saa7146 framework has separate probe() and attach() driver callbacks which should be rolled into one. This is now done for the mxb driver, but others should do the same. Lack of hardware makes this hard to do, though. I hope to get hold of some hexium cards and then I can try to improve the framework to prevent this from happening again.

With fa35b4926, I broke a lot of PNP resource assignment. That commit made PNPACPI include bridge windows as PNP resources, and PNP resource assignment treats any enabled overlapping PNP resources as conflicts. Since PCI host bridge windows typically include most of the I/O port space, this makes PNP port assigments fail. The PCI host bridge driver will eventually use those PNP window resources, so we should make PNP ignore them when checking for conflicts.

2010-05-05input: serio: add support for Amstrad Delta serial keyboardportJanusz Krzysztofik
The patch introduces a serio driver that supports a keyboard serial port found on the Amstrad Delta videophone board. After initializing the hardware, the driver reads its input data from a buffer filled in by the board FIQ (Fast Interrupt Request) handler. Standard AT keyboard driver (atkbd) will be used on top of the serio layer for handling the E3 keyboard (called mailboard) connected to the port. Since the device generated scancodes differ from what the atkbd expects, a custom key code to scan code table must be loaded from userspace for the keyboard to be useable.

Multiple Lenovo ThinkPad models with Intel Core i5/i7 CPUs can successfully suspend/resume once, and then hang on the second s/r cycle. We got confirmation that this was due to a BIOS defect. The BIOS did not properly set SCI_EN coming out of S3. The BIOS guys hinted that The Other Leading OS ignores the fact that hardware owns the bit and sets it manually. In any case, an existing DMI table exists for machines where this defect is a known problem. Lenovo promise to fix their BIOS, but for folks who either won't or can't upgrade their BIOS, allow Linux to workaround the issue. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15407 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532374 Confirmed by numerous testers in the launchpad bug that using acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable fixes the issue.

2010-05-05[SCSI] Retry commands with UNIT_ATTENTION sense codes to fix ext3/ext4 I/O errorJames Bottomley
There's nastyness in the way we currently handle barriers (and discards): They're effectively filesystem commands, but they get processed as BLOCK_PC commands. Unfortunately BLOCK_PC commands are taken by SCSI to be SG_IO commands and the issuer expects to see and handle any returned errors, however trivial. This leads to a huge problem, because the block layer doesn't expect this to happen and any trivially retryable error on a barrier causes an immediate I/O error to the filesystem. The only real way to hack around this is to take the usual class of offending errors (unit attentions) and make them all retryable in the case of a REQ_HARDBARRIER. A correct fix would involve a rework of the entire block and SCSI submit system, and so is out of scope for a quick fix.
