A NACK is probably the right thing. I was mostly converting a few
other drivers which used some simple, common patterns to use my new
common code, but this driver was missing it altogether. It looks like
there may be bigger issues, though, as you point out.

As noted earlier, I don't have much interest in this driver. I agree
that there are some other issues with the driver; I think it leaks
memory if it is ever allowed to unload, for one. Feel free to submit
an alternative patch to prevent this driver from being built as a
module.

AHCI platform devices may provide an exit() routine, via
ahci_platform_data, that powers off the SATA core. Such a routine should
be executed from the ata_port_operations host_stop() hook. That way, the
ATA subsystem can perform any last-minute hardware cleanup (via devres,
for example), then trigger the power-off at the appropriate time.
This patch fixes bus errors triggered during module removal or device
unbinding, seen on an SoC SATA core.

platform_driver_probe() should be used for registering this driver only
if we want to
"...remove its run-once probe() infrastructure from memory after the
driver has bound to the device."
However, we may want to leave the probe infrastructure in place in order
to support binding/unbinding a device dynamically. This is useful, for
instance, as a power management mechanism, where a device can be totally
powered down when unbound (whereas with runtime power management,
powering down the SATA core would incur unacceptable loss of
functionality).
Thus, convert this driver to use platform_driver_register().

Commit 66fa7f215 "libata-acpi: improve ACPI disabling" introdcued the
behaviour of disabling ATA ACPI if ata_acpi_on_devcfg failed the 2nd
time, but commit 30dcf76ac dropped this behaviour and this caused
problem for Dimitris Damigos, where his laptop can not resume correctly.
The bugzilla page for it is:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49331
The problem is, ata_dev_push_id will fail the 2nd time it is invoked,
and due to disabling ACPI code is dropped, ata_acpi_on_devcfg which
calls ata_dev_push_id will keep failing and eventually made the device
disabled.
This patch restores the original behaviour, if acpi failed the 2nd time,
disable acpi functionality for the device(and we do not event need to
add a debug message for this as it is still there ;-).

used libata.dma=0 to disable dma completely.
Now we are switching to a coreboot/seabios based BIOS where we

An earlier commit cd006086fa ("ata_piix:
defer disks to the Hyper-V drivers by default") broke MS Virtual PC
guests. Hyper-V guests and Virtual PC guests have nearly identical DMI
info. As a result the driver does currently ignore the emulated hardware
in Virtual PC guests and defers the handling to hv_blkvsc. Since Virtual
PC does not offer paravirtualized drivers no disks will be found in the
guest.
One difference in the DMI info is the product version. This patch adds a
match for MS Virtual PC 2007 and "unignores" the emulated hardware.

sata_promise's pdc_hard_reset_port() needs to serialize because it
flips a port-specific bit in controller register that's shared by
all ports. The code takes the ata host lock for this, but that's
broken because an interrupt may arrive on our irq during the hard
reset sequence, and that too will take the ata host lock. With
lockdep enabled a big nasty warning is seen.
Fixed by adding private state to the ata host structure, containing
a second lock used only for serializing the hard reset sequences.
This eliminated the lockdep warnings both on my test rig and on
the original reporter's machine.

Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test

While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with
a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a
futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and
futex_requeue() do not perform the same test.
Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and
q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future
breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition
is true.
This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an
x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

Commit 169ebd9013 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 5515061d22 ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.
Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.
If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.

those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)

The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Commit 7b540d0646 ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings
the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

Strip the _UAPI prefix from header guards during header installation so
that any userspace dependencies aren't affected. glibc, for example,
checks for linux/types.h, linux/kernel.h, linux/compiler.h and
linux/list.h by their guards - though the last two aren't actually
exported.
