Paul E. McKenney ae66be9b71 rcu: fix misplaced mb() in rcu_enter/exit_nohz()
In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the
dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in
rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz().

This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment.  The key thing to
keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally
execute RCU read-side critical sections.

The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical
sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus
must come -before- this increment.  And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz().

The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment.

Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

Stefan Bauer b691da35ba i810fb: fix console switch regression
Since 4c7ffe0b9f ("fbdev: prevent drivers that
have hardware cursors from calling software cursor code") every call of
i810fb_cursor fails with -ENXIO because of a incorrect "!".

This hasn't struck until eaa0ff15c3 ("fix !
versus & precedence in various places") surrounded the expression with braces,
so that the intended behavior was inverted.  That caused 'pixel waste' - the
same line of multi-colored pixels repeated over the whole screen - during
console switch.

This switches back to the original pre-4c7ffe0 behavior.

In the SYSV ipc msgctl(),semctl(),shmctl() family, if the user passed *_INFO
as the desired operation, no specific object is meant to be controlled and
only system-wide information is returned.  This leads to a NULL IPC object in

David Howells 4ebf89845b ROMFS: Fix up an error in iget removal
Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful
call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously
the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case):

 (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the
     need for specific negative-inode handling.  This means the positive
     success handling now flows straight through.

 (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean.

Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid
32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends.

Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.

Quentin Barnes 6cb2a21049 aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hang
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process
sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come
and it never would.

We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP.  The hang only occurred on a Xeon box
("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe").  On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't
shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all
two processors on the Core2Duo we use.

My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop
in read_events(), what happens on processor #1:
	1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait
	2) aio_read_evt() to check tail
	3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep

In aio_complete() with processor #2:
	A) info->tail = tail;
	B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait)
	C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up()

The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors
before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by
step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors
(checked in step 2) before step B is done.

The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were
effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2
cache not shared by some of the other processors.  Imagine:
proc 2: just before step A
proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet
proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events
proc 2, step A: updates tail
proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps
proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup
                so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely

My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B.  It ensures that the
update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing.  If processor 1
was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update
tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail).

Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time.  After
the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

Michael Ellerman ebf3a65092 [POWERPC] Hide resources on Axon PCIE root complex nodes
The PCI bridge representing the PCIE root complex on Axon, contains
device BARs for a memory range and ROM that define inbound accesses.
This confuses the kernel resource management code -- the resources
need to be hidden when Axon is a host bridge.

Michael Ellerman 3a4295d101 [POWERPC] Fix cell IOMMU code to cope with empty dma-ranges and non-PCI devices
The cell IOMMU code to parse the dma-ranges properties, used for the fixed
mapping, was broken in two ways for some devices.

Firstly it didn't cope with empty dma-ranges properties. An empty property
implies no translation so can be safely skipped.

The code also wrongly assumed it would be looking at PCI devices, and hard
coded the number of address and size cells.

Anton Blanchard 44387e9ff2 [POWERPC] Fix PMU + soft interrupt disable bug
Since the PMU is an NMI now, it can come at any time we are only soft
disabled.  We must hard disable around the two places we allow the kernel
stack SLB and r1 to go out of sync.  Otherwise the PMU exception can
force a kernel stack SLB into another slot, which can lead to it
getting evicted, which can lead to a nasty unrecoverable SLB miss
in the exception entry code.

Roland McGrath c2372eb9bc [POWERPC] user_regset PTRACE_SETREGS regression fix
The PTRACE_SETREGS request was only recently added on powerpc,
and gdb does not use it.  So it slipped through without getting
all the testing it should have had.

The user_regset changes had a simple bug in storing to all of
the 32-bit general registers block on 64-bit kernels.  This bug
only comes up with PTRACE_SETREGS, not PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS.
It causes a BUG_ON to hit, so this fix needs to go in ASAP.

Fred Isaman f8512ad0da nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_request
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks.

In read path:
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request.
  BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has
    been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked.
  do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock

In write path:
  page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write
  nfs_writepages is called
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback,
    clearing dirty marks.
  The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as
    nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request

Kay Sievers 4d1566ed21 [SCSI] fix media change events for polled devices
Commit:
  a341cd0f (SCSI: add asynchronous event notification API)
breaks:
  285e9670 (sr,sd: send media state change modification events)
by introducing an event filter, which is removed here, to make
events, we are depending on, happen again.

Fix this by removing the event filter.  It's pretty much broken at the
moment, since a user can't set it (the attribute being read only).  A
proper fix will be to make the event discriminator distinguish between
AN and Polled media change events.

Linus Torvalds 6c3c3158a8 IDE: Make taskfile interface more robust wrt unexpected end-of-command
Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE
rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also
emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command
model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl
rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls).

In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the
more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did.  It allows
commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we
thought we had for them.

This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART
commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his
machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the
command had completed.
