Fix a memory leak due to allocation in the XDR layer. In cases where the RPC call needs to be retransmitted, we end up allocating new pages without clearing the old ones. Fix this by moving the allocation into nfs3_proc_setacls().

2009-03-10[SCSI] fcoe: Out of order tx frames was causing several check condition SCSI ↵Vasu Dev
status frames followed by these errors in log. [sdp] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK [sdp] Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] [sdp] Add. Sense: Data phase error This was causing some test apps to exit due to write failure under heavy load. This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in fcoe_pending_queue, Chris Leech helped me to find that brief unlocking period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts (fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris. This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of fcoe_pending_queue_active flag. This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals to clear and set lp->qfull. I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH will work better in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.

2009-03-09Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."Dave Jones
This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

2009-03-06[SCSI] libfc: rport retry on LS_RJT from certain ELSChris Leech
This allows any rport ELS to retry on LS_RJT. The rport error handling would only retry on resource allocation failures and exchange timeouts. I have a target that will occasionally reject PLOGI when we do a quick LOGO/PLOGI. When a critical ELS was rejected, libfc would fail silently leaving the rport in a dead state. The retry count and delay are managed by fc_rport_error_retry. If the retry count is exceeded fc_rport_error will be called. When retrying is not the correct course of action, fc_rport_error can be called directly.

2009-03-06[SCSI] libfc, fcoe: fixed locking issues with lport->lp_mutex around ↵Vasu Dev
lport->link_status The fcoe_xmit could call fc_pause in case the pending skb queue len is larger than FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH, the fc_pause was trying to grab lport->lp_muex to change lport->link_status and that had these issues :- 1. The fcoe_xmit was getting called with bh disabled, thus causing "BUG: scheduling while atomic" when grabbing lport->lp_muex with bh disabled. 2. fc_linkup and fc_linkdown function calls lport_enter function with lport->lp_mutex held and these enter function in turn calls fcoe_xmit to send lport related FC frame, e.g. fc_linkup => fc_lport_enter_flogi to send flogi req. In this case grabbing the same lport->lp_mutex again in fc_puase from fcoe_xmit would cause deadlock. The lport->lp_mutex was used for setting FC_PAUSE in fcoe_xmit path but FC_PAUSE bit was not used anywhere beside just setting and clear this bit in lport->link_status, instead used a separate field qfull in fc_lport to eliminate need for lport->lp_mutex to track pending queue full condition and in turn avoid above described two locking issues. Also added check for lp->qfull in fc_fcp_lport_queue_ready to trigger SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when lp->qfull is set to prevent more scsi-ml cmds while lp->qfull is set. This patch eliminated FC_LINK_UP and FC_PAUSE and instead used dedicated fields in fc_lport for this, this simplified all related conditional code. Also removed fc_pause and fc_unpause functions and instead used newly added lport->qfull directly in fcoe.

2009-03-05libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5sStuart Hayes
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be ready. On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..." message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly timeout/error messages. Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out, and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which will finally get things working.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code. Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice() will need to call this new function after doing so too.

2009-03-03netns: Remove net_aliveEric W. Biederman
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
