[PATCH] SPI: Freescale iMX SPI controller driver (BIS+)

Add the SPI controller driver for Freescale i.MX(S/L/1).
Main features summary:

 > Per chip setup via board specific code and/or protocol driver.
 > Per transfer setup.
 > PIO transfers.
 > DMA transfers.
 > Managing of NULL tx / rx buffer for rd only / wr only transfers.

This patch replace patch-2.6.20-rc4-spi_imx with the following changes:
 > Few cosmetic changes.
 > Function map_dma_buffers now return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
 > Solved a bug inside spi_imx_probe function (wrong error path).
 > Solved a bug inside setup function (bad undo setup for max_speed_hz).
 > For read-only transfers, always write zero bytes.

This is almost the same as the 'BIS' version sent by Andrea, except for
updating the 'DUMMY' byte so that read-only transfers shift out zeroes.
That part of the API changed recently, since some half duplex peripheral
chips require that semantic.

[PATCH] SPI controller driver for OMAP Microwire

This adds a SPI driver for the Microwire controller on OMAP1 chips.  This
driver has been used in the Linux-OMAP tree for some time now, including
with some of those displays using standardized 9-bit commands followed by
data with 8-bit words.

Microwire only supports half duplex transfers, but that's all that most SPI
protocols need.  When full duplex, or higher speeds, are needed there are
several other controllers that can be used on OMAP.

[PATCH] FS: speed up rw_verify_area()

oprofile hunting showed a stall in rw_verify_area(), because of triple
indirection and potential cache misses.
(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_flock)

By moving initialization of 'struct inode' pointer before the pos/count
sanity tests, we allow the compiler and processor to perform two loads by
anticipation, reducing stall, without prefetch() hints.  Even x86 arch has
enough registers to not use temporary variables and not increase text size.

I validated this patch running a bench and studied oprofile changes, and
absolute perf of the test program.

Results of my epoll_pipe_bench (source available on request) on a Pentium-M
1.6 GHz machine

Before :
# ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20

[PATCH] ipc: save the ipc namespace while reading proc files

The problem we were assuming that current->nsproxy->ipc_ns would never
change while someone has our file in /proc/sysvipc/ file open.  Given that
this can change with both unshare and by passing the file descriptor to
another process that assumption is occasionally wrong.

Therefore this patch causes /proc/sysvipc/* to cache the namespace and
increment it's count when we open the file and to decrement the count when
we close the file, ensuring consistent operation with no surprises.

[PATCH] kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messages

The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim
IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging
spew when the types clash.

Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out
the if clause that checks for mismatches.  It'll then just do the right
thing and work sanely.

For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared
irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful).  I've had a
variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the
mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

[PATCH] inotify: read return val fix

Fix for inotify read bug (bugzilla.kernel.org #6999)

Problem Description:
When reading from an inotify device with an insufficient sized buffer, read(2)
will return 0 with no errno set. This is because of an logically incorrect
action from the user program thus should return an more logical value. My
suggestion is return -EINVAL as for bind(2).

This patch is based on the proposal from Ryan <wolf0403@hotmail.com>, and
feedback from John McCutchan <john@johnmccutchan.com>.

Return -EINVAL if we have not passed in enough buffer space to read a single
inotify event, rather than 0 which indicates that there is nothing to read.

[PATCH] Fix d_path for lazy unmounts

Here is a bugfix to d_path.

First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to
prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name.  It gets
this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name from the
following pathname component.  This is demonstrated by the attached test
case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir" with the bug.  The
correct result would be "getcwd returned d_path-bug/subdir".

It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part of
the result of d_path in the first place.  On the other hand, what the
unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful hints
to users, and so that seems okay.

Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether
the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy
unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a
non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce a
path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths.

The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping
pathname components.  It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows
to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd().  Grabbing the dcache_lock
can then also be moved into __d_path().  The patch also makes sure that
paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the
root and rootmnt.

The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would
allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the
ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames.
This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.

[PATCH] Make BH_Unwritten a first class bufferhead flag V2

Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead.  Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF.  See
here for a full explaination:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html

The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.

Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html

The following patch makes BH_Unwritten a first class citizen.

[PATCH] rapidio: fix multi-switch enumeration

This patch contains two fixes for RapisIO enumeration logic:

1. Fix enumeration in configurations with multiple switches. The patch adds:

   a. Enumeration of an empty switch.  Empty switch is a switch that
      does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device
      or previous switch in a chain).  New code assigns a phony destination
      ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes.

   b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to
      devices discovered after switch was scanned.

2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value.
   Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has
   destination ID other that 0.

[PATCH] order of lockdep off/on in vprintk() should be changed

The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in
vprintk() should be changed.

* In kernel/printk.c :

vprintk() does :

preempt_disable()
local_irq_save()
lockdep_off()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
   up(&console_sem)
lockdep_on()
local_irq_restore()
preempt_enable()

The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from
kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from
kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save).
It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock.

It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it
does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive
printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the
mark_lock() error handing path.

We should change the locking so it becomes correct :

preempt_disable()
lockdep_off()
local_irq_save()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
   up(&console_sem)
local_irq_restore()
lockdep_on()
preempt_enable()

[PATCH] buffer: memorder fix

unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without
ensuring that the critical section is closed.

Mingming later sent the same patch, saying:

  We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended
  attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in
  ext3_xattr_release_block()).  The problem could also been triggered by
  multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree.

  The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the
  lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update.
  That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that
  we have seen.

  Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock
  bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is
  cleared.  On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit
  instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered.

  The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1,

  cpu 0:                                   cpu1
  --------------------------------------   -----------------------------------
  lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */
  clear_buffer_locked(bh);
                                          lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */
  h_refcount = h_refcount+1; /* = 2*/     h_refcount = h_refcount + 1; /*= 2 */
                                          clear_buffer_locked(bh);
  ....                                    ......

  We lost a h_refcount here. We need a memory barrier before the buffer head lock
  bit being cleared to force the order of the two writes.  Please apply.
