Darrick J. Wong fe3b5bfe73 [SCSI] libsas: sysfs phy control attributes should not be S_IWUGO
Allowing the phy reset controls to be world-triggerable does not seem like
a terribly good idea because SAS devices can be disrupted (and ATA devices
are really disrupted) by a phy reset.  By default only root should be able
to do things like that.

Darrick J. Wong 57ba07dc54 [SCSI] aic94xx: Lock DDB read/write accesses
Extend the use of the DDB lock to include all DDB accesses, because
DDB updates now occur from multiple threads.  This fixes the SMP timeout
problems that we were occasionally seeing with a x260, because the
controller got confused when the DDBs got corrupted.

Darrick J. Wong 396819fba8 [SCSI] libsas: Delay issuing ABORT TASK TMF until the error handler
sas_task_abort() should simply abort the upper-level SCSI command and wait
until the error handler to send the actual ABORT TASK command.  By
deferring things to the EH we simplify the concurrency coordination and
eliminate some race conditions.  Note that sas_task_abort has a few hooks
to handle libsas internal commands properly too.

Also rename do_sas_task_abort to __sas_task_abort just in case we really
want to abort the task *right now* and we don't have a scsi_cmnd attached
to the command.  This is a hook for libata internal commands to abort.

Darrick J. Wong 3ebf6922b0 [SCSI] libsas: Enable the EH strategy handler to reset a phy after a command
When a SAS LLDD needs to request a device port reset, it needs to have all
commands aborted before it can reset the port.  Since commands are put on
the EH's list in the order that they were queued, the LLDD can set a "need
reset" flag in the last task to be aborted so that the EH can reset the
port after all commands are aborted.

Darrick J. Wong 8f3b8fa9af [SCSI] aic94xx: Don't eat TMF_QUERY_TASK results
In this driver, TMF_QUERY_TASK translates to QUERY_SSP_TASK.  The
sequencer, it seems, is perfectly happy sending us a SSP response, which
this function promptly "converts" into TMF_RESP_FUNC_FAILED.  This leads to
the SAS EH making bad decisions based on bad data, so we should not perform
the conversion in this case.

Darrick J. Wong 6d4dcd4dae [SCSI] libsas: Reset timer on taskless scsi_cmnds in sas_scsi_timed_out
Every so often, a scsi_cmnd will time out, and the libsas timeout handler
will discover that the scsi_cmnd does not have a sas_task attached to it.
This can happen in two cases: (1) the scsi_cmnd actually made it through
libsas to the HBA and is now going through scsi_done, or (2) the
scsi_cmnd has been held up (host lock, slab alloc, etc) and libsas has
not yet attached a sas_task.  In both cases, it is safe to ask SCSI for
more time to process the command via EH_RESET_TIMER; we cannot blindly
return EH_HANDLED because if (2) happens, we could end up calling
scsi_done while another CPU is heading towards sas_queuecommand, which
causes slab corruption when sas_task_done updates the freed scsi_cmnd.

Darrick J. Wong b218a0d8e2 [SCSI] libsas: Don't give scsi_cmnds to the EH if they never made it to the SAS LLDD or have already returned
On a system with many SAS targets, it appears possible that a scsi_cmnd
can time out without ever making it to the SAS LLDD or at the same time
that a completion is occurring.  In both of these cases, telling the
LLDD to abort the sas_task makes no sense because the LLDD won't know
about the sas_task; what we really want to do is to increase the timer.
Note that this involves creating another sas_task bit to indicate
whether or not the task has been sent to the LLDD; I could have
implemented this by slightly redefining SAS_TASK_STATE_PENDING, but
this way seems cleaner.

This second version amends the aic94xx portion to set the
TASK_AT_INITIATOR flag for all sas_tasks that were passed to
lldd_execute_task.

Hi,

Minor typo ...
In my first iteration of patches (that got merged), the
BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 actually had the value 0x800000, but that
got changed later to avoid conflicts. This piece must have
been overlooked.
You could obviously do something like %x and then add the

not tend to change.

Please merge.
(Patch applied against latest 2.6.20rc version that I tested.)

    Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
    can no longer be dirtied.
    In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
    to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
    call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
    reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
    to the inode or dentry.

    Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
    attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

    Also, the bare SetPageDirty() can skew all sort of accounting leading to
    other nasties.

Lars Ellenberg e3881a6816 [PATCH] md: pass down BIO_RW_SYNC in raid{1,10}
md raidX make_request functions strip off the BIO_RW_SYNC flag, thus
introducing additional latency.

Fixing this in raid1 and raid10 seems to be straightforward enough.

For our particular usage case in DRBD, passing this flag improved some
initialization time from ~5 minutes to ~5 seconds.

Gautham R Shenoy b282b6f8a8 [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit
Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up
from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'

This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.

This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.

Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.

Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.
