I found a problem of handling of modem status of atmel_serial driver.
With the commit 1ecc26 ("atmel_serial: split the interrupt handler"),
handling of modem status signal was splitted into two parts. The
atmel_tasklet_func() compares new status with irq_status_prev, but
irq_status_prev is not correct if signal status was changed while the port
is closed.
Here is a sequence to cause problem:
1. Remote side sets CTS (and DSR).
2. Local side close the port.
3. Local side clears RTS and DTR.
4. Remote side clears CTS and DSR.
5. Local side reopen the port. hw_stopped becomes 1.
6. Local side sets RTS and DTR.
7. Remote side sets CTS and DSR.
Then CTS change interrupt can be received, but since CTS bit in
irq_status_prev and new status is same, uart_handle_cts_change() will not
be called (so hw_stopped will not be cleared, i.e. cannot send any data).
I suppose irq_status_prev should be initialized at somewhere in open
sequence.
Itai Levi pointed out that we need to initialize atmel_port->irq_status
as well here. His analysis is as follows:
> Regarding the second part of the patch (which resets irq_status_prev),
> it turns out that both versions of the patch (mine and Atsushi's)
> still leave enough room for faulty behavior when opening the port.
>
> This is because we are not resetting both irq_status_prev and
> irq_status in atmel_startup() to CSR, which leads faulty behavior in
> the following sequences:
>
> First case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. transmitting one char
> 5. Cannot transmit more chars, although CTS line is 0
>
> Second case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. receiving some chars
> 5. Now we can transmit, although CTS line is 1
>
> This reason for this is that the tasklet is scheduled as a result of
> TX or RX interrupts (not a status change!), in steps 4 above. Inside
> the tasklet, the atmel_port->irq_status (which holds the value from
> the previous session) is compared to atmel_port->irq_status_prev.
> Hence, a status-change of the CTS line is faultily detected.
>
> Both cases were verified on 9260 hardware.

The conversion of atmel-mci to dma_request_channel missed the

to dma_request_channel is responsible for initializing the channel's

Sensors responding with 0x3B to WHO_AM_I only have one data register per
direction, thus returning a signed byte from the position which is
occupied by the MSB in sensors responding with 0x3A.
Since multiple sensors share the reply to WHO_AM_I, we rename the defines
to better indicate what they identify (family of single and double
precision sensors).
We support both kind of sensors by checking for the sensor type on init
and defining appropriate data-access routines and sensor limits (for the
joystick) depending on what we find.

YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for
cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty).
Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is
called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback.
So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to
exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

Hi Tejun,
it looks like your commit:
block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
f331c0296f
broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices.
That is the second time this has been broken recently. The previous
time was fixed by
block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>
30f2f0eb4b
Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created
(we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition
scan finds nothing. It is not until the device is opened that
another partition scan happens and finds something.
So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is
being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not.
However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number
even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it
will successfully find the partition.
I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to
be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible
(at the time). I don't remember the details, and could possibly
revisit it. However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt
could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.

The above commit added WRITE_SYNC and switched various places to using
that for committing writes that will be waited upon immediately after
submission. However, this causes a performance regression with AS and CFQ
for ext3 at least, since sync_dirty_buffer() will submit some writes with
WRITE_SYNC while ext3 has sumitted others dependent writes without the sync
flag set. This causes excessive anticipation/idling in the IO scheduler
because sync and async writes get interleaved, causing a big performance
regression for the below test case (which is meant to simulate sqlite
like behaviour).

When submitting requests via SG_IO, which does a sync io, a

one is provided from the stack. Now bsg at blk_complete_sgv4_hdr_rq()
would check if rq->sense_len and a sense was requested by sg_io_v4
the rq->sense was copy_user() back, but by now it is already mangled

I have fixed that by forcing a sense_buffer when calling bsg_map_hdr().
The bsg_command->sense is provided in the write/read path like before,
and on-the-stack buffer is provided when doing SG_IO.
I have also fixed a dprintk message to print rq->errors in hex because
of the scsi bit-field use of this member. For other block devices it

Impact: Higher priority bug fix
The machine check poller runs a single timer and then broadcasted an
IPI to all CPUs to check them. This leads to unnecessary
synchronization between CPUs. The original CPU running the timer has
to wait potentially a long time for all other CPUs answering. This is
also real time unfriendly and in general inefficient.
This was especially a problem on systems with a lot of events where
the poller run with a higher frequency after processing some events.
There could be more and more CPU time wasted with this, to
the point of significantly slowing down machines.
The machine check polling is actually fully independent per CPU, so
there's no reason to not just do this all with per CPU timers. This
patch implements that.
Also switch the poller also to use standard timers instead of work
queues. It was using work queues to be able to execute a user program
on a event, but mce_notify_user() handles this case now with a
separate callback. So instead always run the poll code in in a
standard per CPU timer, which means that in the common case of not
having to execute a trigger there will be less overhead.
This allows to clean up the initialization significantly, because
standard timers are already up when machine checks get init'ed. No
multiple initialization functions.
Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for some help.

Impact: Needed for bug fix in next patch
This relaxes the requirement that mce_notify_user has to run in process
context. Useful for future changes, but also leads to cleaner
behaviour now. Now instead mce_notify_user can be called directly
from interrupt (but not NMI) context.
The work queue only uses a single global work struct, which can be done safely
because it is always free to reuse before the trigger function is executed.
This way no events can be lost.

Impact: low priority bug fix
This removes part of a a patch I added myself some time ago. After some
consideration the patch was a bad idea. In particular it stopped machine check
exceptions during code patching.
To quote the comment:
* MCEs only happen when something got corrupted and in this
* case we must do something about the corruption.
* Ignoring it is worse than a unlikely patching race.
* Also machine checks tend to be broadcast and if one CPU
* goes into machine check the others follow quickly, so we don't
* expect a machine check to cause undue problems during to code
* patching.
So undo the machine check related parts of
8f4e956b31 NMIs are still disabled.
This only removes code, the only additions are a new comment.

Impact: Bug fix
During suspend it is not reliable to process machine check
exceptions, because CPUs disappear but can still get machine check
broadcasts. Also the system is slightly more likely to
machine check them, but the handler is typically not a position
to handle them in a meaningfull way.
So disable them during suspend and enable them during resume.
Also make sure they are always disabled on hot-unplugged CPUs.
This new code assumes that suspend always hotunplugs all
non BP CPUs.
v2: Remove the WARN_ONs Thomas objected to.

Impact: Bugfix
The ifdef for the apic clear on shutdown for the 64bit intel thermal
vector was incorrect and never triggered. Fix that.

Impact: bug fix (with tolerant == 3)
do_exit cannot be called directly from the exception handler because
it can sleep and the exception handler runs on the exception stack.
Use force_sig() instead.
Based on a earlier patch by Ying Huang who debugged the problem.

Impact: Bug fix
This fixes a long standing bug in the machine check code. On resume the
boot CPU wouldn't get its vendor specific state like thermal handling
reinitialized. This means the boot cpu wouldn't ever get any thermal
events reported again.
Call the respective initialization functions on resume
v2: Remove ancient init because they don't have a resume device anyways.
Pointed out by Thomas Gleixner.
v3: Now fix the Subject too to reflect v2 change

The GPIO interrupts can be configured as either level triggered or edge
triggered, with a default of level triggered. When an edge triggered
interrupt is requested, the gpio_irq_set_type method is called which
currently switches the given IRQ descriptor between two struct irq_chip
instances: orion_gpio_irq_level_chip and orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip. This
happens via __setup_irq() which also calls irq_chip_set_defaults() to
assign default methods to uninitialized ones. The problem is that
irq_chip_set_defaults() is called before the irq_chip reference is
switched, leaving the new irq_chip (orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip in this
case) with uninitialized methods such as chip->startup() causing a kernel
oops.
Many solutions are possible, such as making irq_chip_set_defaults() global
and calling it from gpio_irq_set_type(), or calling __irq_set_trigger()
before irq_chip_set_defaults() in __setup_irq(). But those require
modifications to the generic IRQ code which might have adverse effect on
other architectures, and that would still be a fragile arrangement.
Manually copying the missing methods from within gpio_irq_set_type()
would be really ugly and it would break again the day new methods with
automatic defaults are added.
A better solution is to have a single irq_chip instance which can deal
with both edge and level triggered interrupts. It is also a good idea
to switch the IRQ handler instead, as the edge IRQ handler allows for
one edge IRQ event to be queued as the IRQ is actually masked only when
that second IRQ is received, at which point the hardware can queue an
additional IRQ event, making edge triggered interrupts a bit more
reliable.
