2011-06-07x86/amd-iommu: Fix boot crash with hidden PCI devicesJoerg Roedel
Some PCIe cards ship with a PCI-PCIe bridge which is not visible as a PCI device in Linux. But the device-id of the bridge is present in the IOMMU tables which causes a boot crash in the IOMMU driver. This patch fixes by removing these cards from the IOMMU handling. This is a pure -stable fix, a real fix to handle this situation appriatly will follow for the next merge window. Cc: stable@kernel.org # > 2.6.32 Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2011-06-06x86/amd-iommu: Use only per-device dma_opsJoerg Roedel
Unfortunatly there are systems where the AMD IOMMU does not cover all devices. This breaks with the current driver as it initializes the global dma_ops variable. This patch limits the AMD IOMMU to the devices listed in the IVRS table fixing DMA for devices not covered by the IOMMU. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2011-06-06x86/amd-iommu: Fix 3 possible endless loopsJoerg Roedel
The driver contains several loops counting on an u16 value where the exit-condition is checked against variables that can have values up to 0xffff. In this case the loops will never exit. This patch fixed 3 such loops. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>

2011-06-04ARM: Tegra: Harmony: Fix conflicting GPIO numberingStephen Warren
Currently, both the WM8903 and TPS6586x chips attempt to register with gpiolib using the same GPIO numbers. This causes the audio driver to fail to initialize. To solve this, add a define to board-harmony.h for the TPS6586x, and make board-harmony-power.c use this define, instead of directly referencing TEGRA_NR_GPIOS. This fixes a regression introduced by commit 6f168f2fa60f87e85e0df25e87e2372f22f5eb7c.

2011-06-04btrfs: fix uninitialized variable warningDavid Sterba
With Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powercp ppc64_defconfig) produced this warning: fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c: In function 'btrfs_delayed_update_inode': fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c:1598:6: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function Introduced by commit 16cdcec736cd ("btrfs: implement delayed inode items operation"). This fixes a bug in btrfs_update_inode(): if the returned value from btrfs_delayed_update_inode is a nonzero garbage, inode stat data are not updated and several call paths may hit a BUG_ON or fail with strange code.

2011-06-04Btrfs: don't save the inode cache if we are deleting this rootJosef Bacik
With xfstest 254 I can panic the box every time with the inode number caching stuff on. This is because we clean the inodes out when we delete the subvolume, but then we write out the inode cache which adds an inode to the subvolume inode tree, and then when it gets evicted again the root gets added back on the dead roots list and is deleted again, so we have a double free. To stop this from happening just return 0 if refs is 0 (and we're not the tree root since tree root always has refs of 0). With this fix 254 no longer panics.

2011-06-04btrfs: scrub: don't reuse bios and pagesArne Jansen
The current scrub implementation reuses bios and pages as often as possible, allocating them only on start and releasing them when finished. This leads to more problems with the block layer than it's worth. The elevator gets confused when there are more pages added to the bio than bi_size suggests. This patch completely rips out the reuse of bios and pages and allocates them freshly for each submit.

2011-06-04Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

2011-06-03UBIFS: fix clean znode counter corruption in error casesArtem Bityutskiy
UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters ('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'. However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g., if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it, 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

2011-06-03UBIFS: fix shrinker object count reportsArtem Bityutskiy
Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink, and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case.

And I can observe the following warnings sometimes: shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788 This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.
