9a8bc9b84b [SCSI] update spi transport class so that u320 Domain Validation works
There are several extra things that have to be considered when running
Domain Validation on a u320 target (notably how you fall back).

Hopefully this should help us when someone adds this transport class to
aic79xx.

I've tested this on the lsi1030, so I know it works correctly up to
u320.

521314c122 [SCSI] sg: Command completion after remove oops
A problem exists todayin the sg driver that if an SG_IO request is
outstanding to a device when it is removed from the system. The
system may oops if that command completes later in time.

1. sg_remove gets called
2. sg_remove calls sg_finish_req_req on all pending requests
   This removes the Sg_request's from the headrp list in the Sg_fd
3. The sleeping SG_IO ioctl is woken. It does nothing and returns.
4. The caller closes the fd, which invokes sg_release
5. sg_release calls sg_remove_sfp. It finds no outstanding commands
   since the headrp list is empty, so it calls __sg_remove_sfp,
   which frees the sfp.
6. Now when sg_cmd_done gets called, sg uses upper_private_data in
   the Scsi_Request, which should point to the srp, which has been
   freed, so it points to freed memory.
7. sg then dereferences the srp pointer to get the sfp, and we oops.

The fix is to NULL out the upper_private_data field in this path,
which sg_cmd_done already checks for, which will prevent the oops
from occurring.

b1abb4d67f [SCSI] aic7xxx: remove separate target and device allocations
Since the aic driver is now taught to speak in terms of the generic

routines (since we update the parameters when the driver sees they

284e423811 [PATCH] timeout at boottime with NEC3500A (and possibly others) when inserted a CD in it
From: Marcello Maggioni <hayarms@gmail.com>

Problem: Some drives (NEC 3500, TDK 1616N, Mad-dog MD-16XDVD9, RICOH
MP5163DA, Memorex DVD9 drive and IO-DATA's too for sure), if a
CD/DVD is inserted into the tray when the system is booted and if
before the OS bootup the BIOS checked for the presence of a bootable
CD/DVD into the drive, during the IDE probe phase the drive may
result busy and remain so for the next 25/30 seconds . This cause the
drive to be skipped during the booting phase and not begin usable
until the next reboot (if the reboot goes well and the drive doesn't
timeout again).

Solution: Rising the timeout time from 10 seconds to 35 seconds
(during these 35 seconds every drive should wake up for sure
according to the tests I've done).

631e8a1398 [SCSI] TYPE_RBC cache fixes (sbp2.c affected)
a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
	b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
	c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
	d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
	e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents.  And screams if
mismatch had happened.  Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one".  For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
	f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.

	Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones.  I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

32529e0128 [PATCH] libata: Fix zero sg_dma_len() on 64-bit platform
When testing ATAPI PIO data transfer on the ppc64 platform,  __atapi_pio_bytes() got zero when
sg_dma_len() is used. I checked the <asm-ppc64/scatterlish.h>, the struct scatterlist is defined as:

struct scatterlist {
	struct page *page;
	unsigned int offset;
	unsigned int length;

	/* For TCE support */
	u32 dma_address;
	u32 dma_length;
};

#define sg_dma_address(sg)	((sg)->dma_address)
#define sg_dma_len(sg)		((sg)->dma_length)

So, if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped, sg_dma_len() will return zero on ppc64.
The same problem should occur on the x86-64 platform.
On the i386 platform, sg_dma_len() returns sg->length, that's why the problem does not occur on an i386.

Changes:
- Use sg->length if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped (yet).

and 0 timeout on unload, which is usually fine since the delete completes
successfully.  However, if ib_sa is unloaded immediately afterwards, the
delete will be canceled and ib_sa will try to call the (now already
unloaded) ib_ipoib module back with the cancel completion, which triggers
the oops.

d0e8e29100 [PATCH] ppc64 iSeries: fix boot time setting
For quite a while, there has existed a hypervisor bug on legacy iSeries
which means that we do not get the boot time set in the kernel.  This
patch works around that bug.  This was most noticable when the root
partition needed to be checked at every boot as the kernel thought it
was some time in 1905 until user mode reset the time correctly.

8f80e5c911 [PATCH] ppc64: fix initialisation of gettimeofday calculations
On PPC64, we keep track of when we need to update jiffies (and the
variables used to calculate the time of day) based on the time base.

If the time base frequence is sufficiently high compared to the
processor clock frequency, then it is possible for the time of day
variables to be corrupted at the time of the first decrementer interrupt
we take.  This became obvious on a legacy iSeries where the time base
frequency is the same as the processor clock.

This one line patch fixes the initialisation so that the time of day
variables and the indicator we use to tell when updates are due are
better synchronised.

cafdd8ba08 [PATCH] try_to_unmap_cluster() passes out-of-bounds pte to pte_unmap()
try_to_unmap_cluster() does:
        for (pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address);
                        address < end; pte++, address += PAGE_SIZE) {
		...
	}

	pte_unmap(pte);

It may take a little staring to notice, but pte can actually fall off the
end of the pte page in this iteration, which makes life difficult for
kmap_atomic() and the users not expecting it to BUG().  Of course, we're
somewhat lucky in that arithmetic elsewhere in the function guarantees that
at least one iteration is made, lest this force larger rearrangements to be
made.  This issue and patch also apply to non-mm mainline and with trivial
adjustments, at least two related kernels.

Discovered during internal testing at Oracle.

c33880aadd [PATCH] sigkill priority fix
If SIGKILL does not have priority, we cannot instantly kill task before it
makes some unexpected job.  It can be critical, but we were unable to
reproduce this easily until Heiko Carstens <Heiko.Carstens@de.ibm.com>
reported this problem on LKML.
