The above commit added WRITE_SYNC and switched various places to using
that for committing writes that will be waited upon immediately after
submission. However, this causes a performance regression with AS and CFQ
for ext3 at least, since sync_dirty_buffer() will submit some writes with
WRITE_SYNC while ext3 has sumitted others dependent writes without the sync
flag set. This causes excessive anticipation/idling in the IO scheduler
because sync and async writes get interleaved, causing a big performance
regression for the below test case (which is meant to simulate sqlite
like behaviour).
---- test case ----
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fdes, i;
FILE *fp;
struct timeval start;
struct timeval end;
struct timeval res;
gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
for (i=0; i<ROWS; i++) {
fp = fopen("test_file", "a");
fprintf(fp, "Some Text Data\n");
fdes = fileno(fp);
fsync(fdes);
fclose(fp);
}
gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
timersub(&end, &start, &res);
fprintf(stdout, "time to write %d lines is %ld(msec)\n", ROWS,
(res.tv_sec*1000000 + res.tv_usec)/1000);
return 0;
}

regression and providing a test case.

The kexec kernel resets the CCISS hardware in three steps:
1. Use PCI power management states to reset the controller in the
kexec kernel.
2. Clear the MSI/MSI-X bits in PCI configuration space so that MSI
initialization in the kexec kernel doesn't fail.
3. Use the CCISS "No-op" message to determine when the controller
firmware has recovered from the PCI PM reset.

When submitting requests via SG_IO, which does a sync io, a
bsg_command is not allocated. So an in-Kernel sense_buffer was not
set. However when calling blk_execute_rq() with no sense buffer
one is provided from the stack. Now bsg at blk_complete_sgv4_hdr_rq()
would check if rq->sense_len and a sense was requested by sg_io_v4
the rq->sense was copy_user() back, but by now it is already mangled
stack memory.
I have fixed that by forcing a sense_buffer when calling bsg_map_hdr().
The bsg_command->sense is provided in the write/read path like before,
and on-the-stack buffer is provided when doing SG_IO.
I have also fixed a dprintk message to print rq->errors in hex because
of the scsi bit-field use of this member. For other block devices it
does not matter anyway.

If a USB PCI controller is behind a cardbus bridge, we are trying to
restore its configuration registers too early, before the cardbus
bridge is operational. To fix this, call pci_restore_state() from
usb_hcd_pci_resume() and remove usb_hcd_pci_resume_early() which is
no longer necessary (the configuration spaces of USB controllers that
are not behind cardbus bridges will be restored by the PCI PM core
with interrupts disabled anyway).
This patch fixes the regression from 2.6.28 tracked as

The GPIO interrupts can be configured as either level triggered or edge
triggered, with a default of level triggered. When an edge triggered
interrupt is requested, the gpio_irq_set_type method is called which
currently switches the given IRQ descriptor between two struct irq_chip
instances: orion_gpio_irq_level_chip and orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip. This
happens via __setup_irq() which also calls irq_chip_set_defaults() to
assign default methods to uninitialized ones. The problem is that
irq_chip_set_defaults() is called before the irq_chip reference is
switched, leaving the new irq_chip (orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip in this
case) with uninitialized methods such as chip->startup() causing a kernel
oops.
Many solutions are possible, such as making irq_chip_set_defaults() global
and calling it from gpio_irq_set_type(), or calling __irq_set_trigger()
before irq_chip_set_defaults() in __setup_irq(). But those require
modifications to the generic IRQ code which might have adverse effect on
other architectures, and that would still be a fragile arrangement.
Manually copying the missing methods from within gpio_irq_set_type()
would be really ugly and it would break again the day new methods with
automatic defaults are added.
A better solution is to have a single irq_chip instance which can deal
with both edge and level triggered interrupts. It is also a good idea
to switch the IRQ handler instead, as the edge IRQ handler allows for
one edge IRQ event to be queued as the IRQ is actually masked only when
that second IRQ is received, at which point the hardware can queue an
additional IRQ event, making edge triggered interrupts a bit more
reliable.

This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have
been seeing. Some chipsets neglect to report the RWBF "capability" --
the flag which says that we need to flush the chipset write-buffer when
changing the DMA page tables, to ensure that the change is visible to
the IOMMU.
Override that bit on the affected chipsets, and everything is happy
again.

Here's what we really want:

* we want the laziest equivalent of
spin_lock(&cpu_writer->lock);

spin_unlock(&cpu_writer->lock);

that would make sure we won't miss earlier setting of ->mnt done by
another CPU.

As reported by David Engel <david@istwok.net>, ATSC115 doesn't work
fine with mythtv. This software opens both analog and dvb interfaces of
saa7134.
What happens is that some tuner commands are going to the wrong place,
as shown at the logs:
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: using tuner params #0 (ntsc)
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: freq = 67.25 (1076), range = 0, config = 0xce, cb = 0x01
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: Freq= 67.25 MHz, V_IF=45.75 MHz, Offset=0.00 MHz, div=1808
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner 1-0061: tv freq set to 67.25
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: using tuner params #0 (ntsc)
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: freq = 67.25 (1076), range = 0, config = 0xce, cb = 0x01
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: Freq= 67.25 MHz, V_IF=45.75 MHz, Offset=0.00 MHz, div=1808
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: tv 0x07 0x10 0xce 0x01
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: tv 0x07 0x10 0xce 0x01
This happens due to a hack at TUV1236D analog setup, where it replaces
tuner address, at 0x61 for 0x0a, in order to save a few memory bytes.
The code assumes that nobody else would try to access the tuner during
that setup, but the point is that there's no lock to protect such
access. So, this opens the possibility of race conditions to happen.
Instead of hacking tuner address, this patch uses a temporary var with
the proper tuner value to be used during the setup. This should save
the issue, although we should consider to write some analog/digital
lock at saa7134 driver.
