2008-03-25ACPI: fix Medion _PRT quirk (use "ISA_", not "ISA")Bjorn Helgaas
This fixes the builtin RTL8139 NIC on the Medion MD9580-F laptop. The BIOS reports the interrupt routing incorrectly. I recently added a quirk to work around this, and this patch fixes a typo in the quirk. We pad every ACPI pathname component to four characters, so ".ISA." will never match anything. We need ".ISA_." instead. Thank you Johann-Nikolaus Andreae <johann-nikolaus.andreae@nacs.de> for patiently testing this patch.

While backporting 72dc67a69690288538142df73a7e3ac66fea68dc, a gfn_to_page() call was duplicated instead of moved (due to an unrelated patch not being present in mainline).

2008-03-25KVM: VMX: Restore tss even on x86_64Avi Kivity
The vmx hardware state restore restores the tss selector and base address, but not its length. Usually, this does not matter since most of the tss contents is within the default length of 0x67. However, if a process is using ioperm() to grant itself I/O port permissions, an additional bitmap within the tss, but outside the default length is consulted. The effect is that the process will receive a SIGSEGV instead of transparently accessing the port. Fix by restoring the tss length. Note that i386 had this working already. Closes bugzilla 10246.

2008-03-24PCI: iova: lockdep false alarm fixMark Gross
lockdep goes off on the iova copy_reserved_iova() because it and a function it calls grabs locks in the from, and the to of the copy operation. The function grab locks of the same lock classes triggering the warning. The first lock grabbed is for the constant reserved areas that is never accessed after early boot. Technically you could do without grabbing the locks for the "from" structure its copying reserved areas from. But dropping the from locks to me looks wrong, even though it would be ok. The affected code only runs in early boot as its setting up the DMAR engines. This patch gives the reserved_ioval_list locks special lockdep classes.

2008-03-24USB: ehci: stop vt6212 bus hoggingRene Herman
The VIA VT6212 defaults to only waiting 1us between passes over EHCI's async ring, which hammers PCI badly ... and by preventing other devices from accessing the bus, causes problems like drops in IDE throughput, a problem that's been bugging users of those chips for several years. A (partial) datasheet for this chip eventually turned up, letting us see how to make it use a VIA-specific register to switch over to the the normal 10us value instead, as suggested by the EHCI specification Solution noted by Lev A. Melnikovsky. It's not clear whether this register exists on other VIA chips; we know that it's ineffective on the vt8235. So this patch only applies to chips that seem to be incarnations of the (discrete) vt6212. Signed-off-by: Rene Herman <rene.herman@gmail.com> Tested-by: Lev A.

2008-03-24sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2Mikael Pettersson
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up. This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue. The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.) This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw() that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock. We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement. The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses are inside the region protected by host->lock. Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4, FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks, with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be written out.

2008-03-24mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_coreYinghai Lu
With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be freed wrongly. For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some range afterwards. With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes. This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx and eidx according the ram range that the node has. And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem directly.

The MDIO node in the lite5200b.dts file needs to also claim compatibility with the older mpc5200 chip. Otherwise the driver won't find the device. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-03-24libata: improve HPA error handlingTejun Heo
There's no point in retrying and eventually failing device detection when the device rejects READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT]. Disable HPA unlocking if READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT] is rejected as done when SET_MAX[_EXT] is rejected. This allows some old drives to work even if they aren't blacklisted.

2008-03-24libata: assume no device is attached if both IDENTIFYs are abortedTejun Heo
This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave. Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which makes EH retry. Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands. While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to help debugging obscure detection problems. This problem was reported by Jan Bücken.
