Some Legacy megaraid cards can't actually cope with the scatter/gather
version of the READ CAPACITY command (which is what we now send them
since altering all SCSI internal I/O to go via the block layer). Fix
this (and a few other broken megaraid driver assumptions) by sending
the non-sg version of the command if the sg list only has a single
element.

In these drivers, scsi_remove_host() is called too late, at the point
it is called, the driver has already shut down too far to accept any
I/O that the shutdown might generate. Any generated I/O actually
triggers a panic.
Fix this by calling scsi_remove_host() as early as possible and not
calling scsi_host_put() until just before we kfree the ahc_softc.

There's a problem in our host release in that it calls
scsi_proc_hostdir_rm(). However, if you hold a reference to the host as
you remove the module, the host template (which proc uses) will be freed
and the system will panic when the host device is finally released.
Fix this by moving scsi_proc_hostdir_rm() to where it should be: in
scsi_remove_host().

This adds suspend support for the Radeon M11 chip in 12" iBooks
manufactured after July 2005. I don't know if the new 14" iBooks also
have that chip, so they might also be supported.
The chip identifies itself as "RV350 NV" (pci id 0x4e56), revision 0x80.
Apple calls it "Snowy", xfree86 names it "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M11)
NV (AGP)". So, we seem to be lucky here: The suspend-code for the M10
(which also is a "RV350 NV") works flawless for that chip.

We should always use bitmask ops, rather than depend on some ordering of
the different states. With the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag, the inequality
doesn't really work.
Oleg Nesterov argues (likely correctly) that this test is unnecessary in
the first place. However, the minimal fix for now is to at least make
it work in the presense of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE. Waiting for consensus
from Roland & co on potential bigger cleanups.

The old 550Mhz titanium powerbook can switch to a lower frequency
(500Mhz). A user has been repeately reporting overtemp conditions on his
machine at high speed so this simple patch adds support to PowerMac
cpufreq for this machine. The difference in frequency isn't big but seem
enough to fix that user's problems. The patch has been around for some

The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is
not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in
2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in
numa_init_array(). cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set
properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but
confusing the numa slab in the process.
Here is a quick fix for this. The right fix obviously is to have
cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array(). The following patch
will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when
cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly.
Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

Fix the BP node_to_cpumask. 2.6.14-rc* broke the boot cpu bit as the
cpu_to_node(0) is now not setup early enough for numa_init_array.
cpu_to_node[] is setup much later at srat_detect_node on acpi srat based

em64t though. /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap shows up sanely after

The up()/down() orders are incorrect in arch/x86_64/kprobes.c file.
kprobe_mutext is used to protect the free kprobe instruction slot list.
arch_prepare_kprobe applies for a slot from the free list, and
arch_remove_kprobe returns a slot to the free list. The incorrect up()/down()
orders to operate on kprobe_mutex fail to protect the free list. If 2 threads
try to get/return kprobe instruction slot at the same time, the free slot list
might be broken, or a free slot might be applied by 2 threads.

Fixes for deadlocks of the ieee1394 and scsi subsystems and long delays in
futile error recovery attempts when SBP-2 devices are removed or drivers are
unloaded.
- Complete commands quickly with DID_NO_CONNECT if the 1394 node is gone or if
the 1394 low-level driver was unloaded.
- Skip unnecessary work in the eh_abort_handler and eh_device_reset_handler if
the node or 1394 low-level driver is gone.
- Let scsi's high-level shut down gracefully when sbp2 is being unloaded or
detached from the 1394 unit. A call to scsi_remove_device is added for this
purpose, which requires us to store a scsi_device pointer.
- scsi_device pointer is obtained from slave_alloc hook and cleared by
slave_destroy. This avoids usage of the pointer after the scsi device was
deleted e.g. by the user via scsi_mod's sysfs interface.

This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver
interrupt handler.
This error message is bogus for two reasons. First, it can never occur
given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that
these "unknown" interrupts could never occur. Second, this code fails to
take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism
through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing".
Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt
occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby
effectively denying use of the console device. Given its bogosity in the
first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.

Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't
implemented here", but it still works fine.
Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything. But hostfs_setattr() ->
set_attr() correctly detects ATTR_SIZE and calls truncate() on the host. So
we should be safe (using ftruncate() may be better, in case the file is
unlinked on the host, but we aren't sure to have the file open for writing,
and reopening it would cause the same races; plus nobody should expect UML to
be so careful).
So, the warning is wrong, because the current implementation is working. Al,
am I correct, and can the warning be therefore dropped?

Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run
list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a
freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait
queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list.
The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it
could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the
iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check
could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on
the run list.
The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any
ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be
called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY
users, are updated.

Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run
list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a
freed iocb. The kick patch could set the Kicked bit before acquiring the
ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path, while holding
the ctx_lock, could see this partial kick and mistake it for a kick that
was deferred while it was doing work with the run_list NULLed out. It
would then race with the kick thread to add the iocb to the run list.
This patch moves the kick setting under the ctx_lock so that only one of
the kick or run path queues the iocb on the run list, as intended.
