Due to incorrect function call sequence it can happen that a tape block
request is finished before the request is taken from the block request queue.
The following sequence leads to that condition:
* tapeblock_start_request() -> start CCW program
* Request finishes -> IO interrupt
* tapeblock_end_request()
* end_that_request_last()
If blkdev_dequeue_request() has not been called before end_that_request_last(),
a kernel bug is triggered in end_that_request_last() because the request is
still queued. To solve that problem blkdev_dequeue_request() has to be called
before starting the CCW program.

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).
There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.
It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.
We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

I looked into the virtio_net code for some time and I think the following
scenario happened. Please look at virtnet_poll:
[...]
/* Out of packets? */
if (received < budget) {
netif_rx_complete(vi->dev, napi);
if (unlikely(!vi->rvq->vq_ops->enable_cb(vi->rvq))
&& napi_schedule_prep(napi)) {
vi->rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(vi->rvq);
__netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, napi);
goto again;
}
}
If an interrupt arrives after netif_rx_complete, a second poll routine can run
on a different cpu. The second check for napi_schedule_prep would prevent any
harm in the network stack, but we have called enable_cb possibly after the
disable_cb in skb_recv_done.
static void skb_recv_done(struct virtqueue *rvq)
{
struct virtnet_info *vi = rvq->vdev->priv;
/* Schedule NAPI, Suppress further interrupts if successful. */
if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(vi->dev, &vi->napi)) {
rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(rvq);
__netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, &vi->napi);
}
}
That means that the second poll routine runs with interrupts enabled, which is
ok, since we can handle additional interrupts. The problem is now that the
second poll routine might also call enable_cb, triggering the BUG.
The only solution I can come up with, is to remove the BUG statement in
enable_cb - similar to disable_cb. Opinions or better ideas where the oops
could come from?

Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.
Included:
virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio
If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code,
but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field. In
theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be
duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created.
So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code
in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code.
The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify
the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is
called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier
for the printks.

This patch (as1099) fixes a performance regression in ehci-hcd. The
fundamental problem is that queue headers get removed from the
schedule too quickly, since the code checks for a counter advancing
rather than making an actual time-based check. The latency involved
in removing the queue header and then relinking it can severely
degrade certain kinds of workloads.
The patch replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the
controller's uframe value. In addition, the delay for unlinking an
idle queue header is increased from 5 ms to 10 ms; since some
controllers (nVidia) have a latency of up to 1 ms for unlinking, this
reduces the relative impact from 20% to 10%.
Finally, a logical error left over from the IAA watchdog-timer
conversion is corrected. Now the driver will always either unlink an
idle queue header or set up a timer to unlink it later. The old code
would sometimes fail to do either.

This patch (as1098) changes the way ehci-hcd schedules its periodic
Iso transfers. That the current scheduling code is wrong is clear on
the face of it: Sometimes it returns -EL2NSYNC (meaning that an URB
couldn't be scheduled because it was submitted too late), but it does
this even when the URB_ISO_ASAP flag is set (meaning the URB should be
scheduled as soon as possible).
The new code properly implements as-soon-as-possible scheduling,
assigning the next unexpired slot as the URB's starting point. It
also is more careful about checking for Iso URB completion: It doesn't
bother to check for activity during frames that are already over,
and it allows for the possibility that some of the URB's packets may
have raced the hardware when they were submitted and so never got used
(the packet status is set to -EXDEV).
This fixes problems several people have experienced with USB video
applications.

This patch (as1095) cleans up the HCD glue and several of the EHCI
bus-glue files. The ehci->is_tdi_rh_tt flag is redundant, since it
means the same thing as the hcd->has_tt flag, so it is removed and the
other flag used in its place.
Some of the bus-glue files didn't get the relinquish_port method added
to their hc_driver structures. Although that routine currently
doesn't do anything for controllers with an integrated TT, in the
future it might. So the patch adds it where it is missing.
Lastly, some of the bus-glue files have erroneous entries for their

This patch (as1094) changes the output of the "descriptors" binary
attribute. Now it will contain the device descriptor followed by all
the configuration descriptors, not just the descriptor for the current
config.
Userspace libraries want to have access to the kernel's cached
descriptor information, so they can learn about device characteristics
without having to wake up suspended devices. So far the only user of
this attribute is the new libusb-1.0 library; thus changing its
contents shouldn't cause any problems.
This should be considered for 2.6.26, if for no other reason than to
minimize the range of releases in which the attribute contains only the
current config descriptor.
Also, it doesn't hurt that the patch removes the device locking --
which was formerly needed in order to know for certain which config was
indeed current.

There is a potential deadlock when the usb_generic driver is unbound
from a device. The problem is that generic_disconnect() is called
with the device lock held, and it removes a bunch of device attributes
from sysfs. If a user task happens to be running an attribute method
at the time, the removal will block until the method returns. But at
least one of the attribute methods (the store routine for power/level)
needs to acquire the device lock!
This patch (as1093) eliminates the deadlock by moving the calls to
create and remove the sysfs attributes from the usb_generic driver
into usb_new_device() and usb_disconnect(), where they can be invoked
without holding the device lock.
Besides, the other sysfs attributes are created when the device is
registered and removed when the device is unregistered. So it seems
only fitting for the extra attributes to be created and removed at the
same time.

Uninitialised Apple iSight drivers present with a distinctive USB ID.
Once firmware has been uploaded, they disconnect and reconnect with a
new ID. At this point they can be driven by the uvcvideo driver. As this
is unique to the Apple cameras and not functionality shared by any other
UVC devices, it makes sense to provide the firmware loading
functionality in a separate driver. This driver will read an isight.fw
file extracted from the Apple driver using the tools at
http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/ and upload it to the camera. It will also
handle the case where the device loses its firmware during hibernation

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.19
2 1.11
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.22
2 6.69
in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:
wake-idle wake-idle+newidle

1: 830 834 +0.43%
2: 1391 1401 +0.65%

256: 8144 8384 +2.87%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21%
as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.
sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

Make sched_clock_cpu() return 0 before it has been initialized and avoid
corrupting its state due to doing so.
This fixes the weird printk timestamp jump reported.

Yanmin Zhang reported:
Comparing with 2.6.25, volanoMark has big regression with kernel 2.6.26-rc1.
It's about 50% on my 8-core stoakley, 16-core tigerton, and Itanium Montecito.
With bisect, I located the following patch:
| 18d95a2832 is first bad commit
| commit 18d95a2832

| sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group scheduling
Revert it so that we get v2.6.25 behavior.

The Coverity checker spotted a memleak introduced by commit
39106dcf85 (cpumask: use new cpus_scnprintf
function).
It seems the kfree() got lost between v2 and v3 of this patch...
