The following change from -mm is important to 2.6.18 (actually to 2.6.17
but its too late for that). This was contributed over three months ago
by VIA to Bartlomiej and nothing happened. As a result the new chipset
is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised
this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good
plan.
Tested in -mm for a while, its essentially a PCI ident update but for
the bridge chip because VIA do things in weird ways.

If we
- shut down a clean array,
- restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
- make some changes
- pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.
To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested)

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.
After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this
lock fixed the problem.
Alan sayeth:
Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but
not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an
attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for

On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.
So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.
I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And
it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

This patch contains 2 sets of fixes for the abituguru:
1) Much improved timeout handling, drasticly reducing the amount of
timeout errors on some motherboards
2) Fix the exit paths in the bank1 sensor type detect code to always
restore the original settings even on an error. Without this our
special test settings could remain seriously confusing the system
BIOS's setup menu.
Both are very much related and are must haves, to avoid messing up the
uguru CMOS settings.
Detailed changes:
- Much improved timeout / wait for status handling. Many thanks to Sunil
Kumar, for all his testing, ideas and patches! The code now first busy
waits, polling the uguru for the expected status as this usually
succeeds pretty quickly (within 90 reads). To avoid unnecessary CPU burn
in timeout conditions, the amount of busy waiting has been halved from
previous versions (120 tries instead of 250). This is not a problem,
because this version goes to sleep after 120 attemps for 1 jiffy and
then tries again, it does this sleep and try again 5 times before
finally giving up. This (almost?) completly removes the timeout errors
some people have seen regulary. Apparently some older uguru versions
sometimes are distracted for a (relatively) long time. This solves this.
- These timeout errors not only occur in the sending address part of
reading the uguru but also in the wait for read state, so errors in
this state are now handled as retryable just like send address state
errors and are only logged and reported to userspace if 3 executive
tries fail.
- Fix a very nasty bug in the bank1 sensor type detection code, where it
would not restore the original settings in any of the error paths!
- Since not successfully restoring the original settings can seriously
confuse the system BIOS (hang when entering the relevant setup menu),
we now try restoring them 3 times before giving up.

The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer,
and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to
the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up
copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi
command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun
things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with
data and scatterlists.
This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of
scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd
can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this
