f5358a172f IB/srp: Use FMRs to map gather/scatter lists
Create an SRP FMR pool on HCAs that support FMRs, and use FMRs to map
gather/scatter lists that have more than one entry into a single
memory region that appears virtually contiguous to the SRP target
(which is the RDMA initiator).

This patch bails out on FMR mapping for SCSI commands where the
gather/scatter list cannot be mapped into a single FMR because there
are sub-page-sized entries in middle of the list.  An unaligned
start or end of the list is OK.

f53ae1dc34 [PATCH] arm_timer: remove a racy and obsolete PF_EXITING check
arm_timer() checks PF_EXITING to prevent BUG_ON(->exit_state)
in run_posix_cpu_timers().

However, for some reason it does so only for CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
case (which is imho wrong).

Also, this check is not reliable, PF_EXITING could be set on
another cpu without any locks/barriers just after the check,
so it can't prevent from attaching the timer to the exiting
task.

The previous patch makes this check unneeded.

30f1e3dd8c [PATCH] run_posix_cpu_timers: remove a bogus BUG_ON()
do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.
arm_timer() tries to protect against this race, but the check
is racy.

After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.

At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were
cleanuped in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(),
so we can just return from irq.

John Stultz recently confirmed this bug, see

8f17fc20bf [PATCH] check_process_timers: fix possible lockup
If the local timer interrupt happens just after do_exit() sets PF_EXITING
(and before it clears ->it_xxx_expires) run_posix_cpu_timers() will call
check_process_timers() with tasklist_lock + ->siglock held and

	check_process_timers:

		t = tsk;
		do {
			....

			do {
				t = next_thread(t);
			} while (unlikely(t->flags & PF_EXITING));
		} while (t != tsk);

the outer loop will never stop.

Actually, the window is bigger.  Another process can attach the timer
after ->it_xxx_expires was cleared (see the next commit) and the 'if
(PF_EXITING)' check in arm_timer() is racy (see the one after that).

88d113601c [PATCH] sky2: netconsole suspend/resume interaction
A couple of fixes that should prevent crashes when using netconsole and

device is up; second, the NAPI poll should be disabled during suspend.

This is only an issue on sky2, because it has to have one NAPI poll
routine for both ports on dual port boards. Normal drivers use
netif_rx_schedule_prep and that checks for netif_running.

16070428d3 [PATCH] fix cdrom open
Some time ago the cdrom open routine was changed so that we call the
driver's open routine before checking to see if it is read only.  However,
if we discovered that a read write open was not possible and the open
flags required a writable open, we just returned -EROFS without calling
the driver's release routine.   This seems to work for most cdrom drivers,
but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly.

This just inserts the release call in the error path to balance the call
to "->open()" done by "open_for_data()".

cfd95a9cf5 [PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwards
I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.

A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.

After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.

Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super.  A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

79320d7e14 [TCP]: continued: reno sacked_out count fix
From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi>

IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
is incorrect.  it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).

with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
acked by the receiver.

without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.

think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
full.

with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were 
lost.

without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
actual cause.

The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c.  What
happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty.  That copies all
the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
which calls tasklet_schedule.  So far so good.  Since we are in
process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
tty->driver->write function to send some more output.

However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
tty->receive_room is still zero.  We haven't returned from
check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
_after_ calling check_unthrottle.  That means that the driver->write
call in ppp_async_process() returns 0.  That would be fine if we were
going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
and the buffer is now empty).

The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
calling the driver unthrottle routine.  The patch below does this.
With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
connection would always stall in under a minute.

2f9719b61e [PATCH] sata_mv: grab host lock inside eng_timeout
Bug fix:  mv_eng_timeout() calls mv_err_intr() without first grabbing the host lock,
which can lead to all sorts of interesting scenarios.

This whole error-handling portion of sata_mv is nasty (and will get fixed for
the new EH stuff), but for now this patch will help keep it on life-support.
