2006-06-23[PATCH] JBD: split checkpoint listsJan Kara2-181/+246
Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

2006-06-23[PATCH] adjust handle_IRR_event() return typeJan Beulich13-57/+31
Correct the return type of handle_IRQ_event() (inconsistency noticed during Xen development), and remove redundant declarations. The return type adjustment required breaking out the definition of irqreturn_t into a separate header, in order to satisfy current include order dependencies.

2006-06-23[PATCH] When CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=1, cascade() may enter an infinite loopPorpoise1-13/+9
When CONFIG_BASE_SAMLL=1, cascade() in may enter the infinite loop. Because of CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=1(TVR_BITS=6 and TVN_BITS=4), the list base->tv5 may cascade into base->tv5. So, the kernel enters the infinite loop in the function cascade(). I created a test module to verify this bug, and a patch to fix it. #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/timer.h> #if 0 #include <linux/kdb.h> #else #define kdb_printf printk #endif #define TVN_BITS (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6) #define TVR_BITS (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 6 : 8) #define TVN_SIZE (1 << TVN_BITS) #define TVR_SIZE (1 << TVR_BITS) #define TVN_MASK (TVN_SIZE - 1) #define TVR_MASK (TVR_SIZE - 1) #define TV_SIZE(N) (N*TVN_BITS + TVR_BITS) struct timer_list timer0; struct timer_list dummy_timer1; struct timer_list dummy_timer2; void dummy_timer_fun(unsigned long data) { } unsigned long j=0; void check_timer_base(unsigned long data) { kdb_printf("check_timer_base %08x\n",jiffies); mod_timer(&timer0,(jiffies & (~0xFFF)) + 0x1FFF); } int init_module(void) { init_timer(&timer0); timer0.data = (unsigned long)0; timer0.function = check_timer_base; mod_timer(&timer0,jiffies+1); init_timer(&dummy_timer1); dummy_timer1.data = (unsigned long)0; dummy_timer1.function = dummy_timer_fun; init_timer(&dummy_timer2); dummy_timer2.data = (unsigned long)0; dummy_timer2.function = dummy_timer_fun; j=jiffies; j&=(~((1<<TV_SIZE(3))-1)); j+=(1<<TV_SIZE(3)); j+=(1<<TV_SIZE(4)); kdb_printf("mod_timer %08x\n",j); mod_timer(&dummy_timer1, j ); mod_timer(&dummy_timer2, j ); return 0; } void cleanup_module() { del_timer_sync(&timer0); del_timer_sync(&dummy_timer1); del_timer_sync(&dummy_timer2); } (Cleanups from Oleg) [oleg@tv-sign.ru: use list_replace_init()] Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-06-23[PATCH] SGI IOC4: Detect IO card variantBrent Casavant4-5/+79
There are three different IO cards which an SGI IOC4 controller may find itself on. One of these variants does not bring out the IDE and serial signals, so we need to disable attaching the corresponding IOC4 subdrivers to such cards. Cleans up message clutter emitted during device probing.
