NAND: Fix NAND ECC errors on AMD Au1550
On AMD Au1550 the static bus controller fails to keep -CE asserted during
chip ready delay on read commands and the NAND chip being used requires this.
So, the current driver allows nand_base.c to drive -CE manually during the
entire sector read. When the PCMCIA driver is enabled however, occasionally
the ECC errors occur on NAND reads. This happens because the PCMCIA driver
polls sockets periodically and reads one of the board's control/status regs
(BCSRs) which are on the same static bus as the NAND flash, and just use
another chip select (and the NOR flash also resides on that bus), so as the
NAND driver forces NAND chip select asserted and the -RE signal is shared, a
contention occurs on the static bus when BCSR or NOR flash is read while we're
reading from NAND.
So, we either can't keep interrupts enabled during the whole NAND sector
read (which is hardly acceptable), or have to implement some interlocking
scheme between multiple drivers (which is painful, and makes me shudder :-).
There's a third way which has proven to work: to force -CE asserted only
while we're waiting for a NAND chip to become ready after a read command,
disabling interrupts for a maximum of 25 microseconds (according to Toshiba
TC58DVM92A1FT00 datasheet -- this chip is mentioned in the board schematics);
for Samsung NAND chip which seems to be actually used this delay is even less,
12 us.

side effect of enabling -RCS0/1 pin override (via bits 4/5 of this reg.), thus

[PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attempted
When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we
have tried to mount it with. This gives the user vital diagnostics as to
what is missing from their kernel.
For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled
into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect

This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page.

[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.
In the log, smb_file_read reports error=
4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.
In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:
if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
/*
* On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
* request from the recvq/xmitq.
*/
smb_lock_server(server);
if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
smb_rput(req);
}
smb_unlock_server(server);
}
[...]
if (signal_pending(current))
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;
I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.
Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).
If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.
I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel
Even since a previous patch:
Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=
92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe
The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.
symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course.
This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

[JFFS2] Don't pack on-medium structures, because GCC emits crappy code
If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the
structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with
that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal
on architectures like ARM.
Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any
padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that,
we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as
it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some
paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised
away completely in the normal case.

[JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files.
We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short
writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny
data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are
actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can
be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of
REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the
eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being
picked for GC.
One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL
space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both
towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the
offending nodes will be garbage collected.
The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do
eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're
written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page.
This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't
even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.
