Roland Dreier 44ea66879d [PATCH] IB/mthca: fix MTT allocation in mem-free mode
Fix bug in MTT allocation in mem-free mode.

I misunderstood the MTT size value returned by the firmware -- it is really
the size of a single MTT entry, since mem-free mode does not segment the MTT
as the original firmware did.  This meant that our MTT addresses ended up
being off by a factor of 8.  This meant that our MTT allocations might
overlap, and so we could overwrite and corrupt earlier memory regions when
writing new MTT entries.

We fix this by always using our 64-byte MTT segment size.  This allows some
simplification of the code as well, since there's no reason to put the MTT
segment size in a variable -- we can always use our enum value directly.

a const function to return void."

Lennert Buytenhek b52402c783 [PATCH] pci enumeration on ixp2000: overflow in kernel/resource.c
IXP2000 (ARM-based) platforms use a separate 'struct resource' for PCI MEM
space.  Resource allocation for PCI BARs always fails because the 'root'
resource (the IXP2000 PCI MEM resource) always has the entire address space
(00000000-ffffffff) free, and find_resource() calculates the size of that
range as ffffffff-00000000+1=0, so all allocations fail because it thinks
there is no space.

James Bottomley dae409a277 [PATCH] add Big Endian variants of ioread/iowrite
In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the
underlying device to be little endian (because the PCI bus, their main
consumer, is LE).

However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are
actually Big Endian.  There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and
chip types are attached to LE systems.  Thus, there's a need for a BE
equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations.

The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be.  When it's in,
I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).

Daniel McNeil 29504ff3be [PATCH] Direct IO async short read fix
The direct I/O code is mapping the read request to the file system block.  If
the file size was not on a block boundary, the result would show the the read
reading past EOF.  This was only happening for the AIO case.  The non-AIO case
truncates the result to match file size (in direct_io_worker).  This patch
does the same thing for the AIO case, it truncates the result to match the
file size if the read reads past EOF.

When I/O completes the result can be truncated to match the file size
without using i_size_read(), thus the aio result now matches the number of
bytes read to the end of file.

Bernard Blackham e072c6f2af [PATCH] ext2 corruption - regression between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10
Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across
some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved
creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent
fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck
would always return with errors.

This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and
2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into
ext2_clear_inode.  The attached patch reverses this change, and
eliminated the source of corruption.

Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said:

I think his patch for ext2 is correct.  The corruption on ext3 is not the same
issue he saw on ext2.  I believe that's the race between discard reservation
and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1.

For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation for
ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file
close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final- >ext3_clear_inode.

The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard the
preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's
unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we did
for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput().  So we moved the
ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode.

Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is possible
that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode, so
the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those blocks
allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map, so
fsck will catch/fix that error later.

This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done in
memory.

Christoph Hellwig 614a7d6a76 [PATCH] fix up newly added jsm driver
- plug various leaks and use after frees in the remove and
   initialization failure path (some still left)
 - remove useless global list of boards and use pci_set_drvdata instead
 - unobsfucate init path by merging functions together
 - kill various totally useless state variables
 - .. probably more I forgot

Note that the tty part still generates lots of sparse warnings and there's
still a totally useless layer of function pointer indirections, but maybe
someone else will fix that bit up.

Ken Chen a299738283 [PATCH] use cheaper elv_queue_empty when unplug a device
In function __generic_unplug_device(), kernel can use a cheaper function
elv_queue_empty() instead of more expensive elv_next_request to find
whether the queue is empty or not.  blk_run_queue can also made conditional
on whether queue's emptiness before calling request_fn().
