2007-08-31sata_promise: FastTrack TX4200 is a second-generation chipMikael Pettersson1-3/+3
This patch corrects sata_promise to classify FastTrack TX4200 (DID 3515/3519) as a second-generation chip. Promise's partial- source FT TX4200 driver confirms this classification. Treating it as a first-generation chip causes several problems: 1. Detection failures. This is a recent regression triggered by the hotplug-enabling changes in 2.6.23-rc1. 2. Various "failed to resume link for reset" warnings. This patch fixes <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8936>. Thanks to Stephen Ziemba for reporting the bug and for testing the fix.

2007-08-30[SPARC64]: Fix several bugs in MSI handling.David S. Miller5-16/+33
1) sun4{u,v}_build_msi() have improper return value handling. We should always return negative error codes, instead of using the magic value "0" which could in fact be a valid MSI number. 2) sun4{u,v}_build_msi() should return -ENOMEM instead of calling prom_prom() halt with kzalloc() of the interrupt data fails. 3) We 'remembered' the MSI number using a singleton in the struct device archdata area, this doesn't work for MSI-X which can cause multiple MSIs assosciated with one device. Delete that archdata member, and instead store the MSI number in the IRQ chip data area. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-08-30[NET_SCHED] sch_prio.c: remove duplicate call of tc_classify()Lucas Nussbaum1-1/+1
When CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is enabled, tc_classify() is called twice in prio_classify(). This causes "interesting" behaviour: with the setup below, packets are duplicated, sent twice to ifb0, and then loop in and out of ifb0. The patch uses the previously calculated return value in the switch, which is probably what Patrick had in mind in commit bdba91ec70fb5ccbdeb1c7068319adc6ea9e1a7d -- maybe Patrick can double-check this? -- example setup -- ifconfig ifb0 up tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root netem delay 2s tc qdisc add dev $ETH root handle 1: prio tc filter add dev $ETH parent 1: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \ match ip dst 172.24.110.6/32 flowid 1:1 \ action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0 ping -c1 172.24.110.6 Signed-off-by: Lucas Nussbaum <lucas.nussbaum@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-08-30[BRIDGE]: Fix OOPS when bridging device without ethtool.Stephen Hemminger1-8/+8
Bridge code calls ethtool to get speed. The conversion to using only ethtool_ops broke the case of devices without ethtool_ops. This is a new regression in 2.6.23. Rearranged the switch to a logical order, and use gcc initializer. Ps: speed should have been part of the network device structure from the start rather than burying it in ethtool.

2007-08-30fix maxcpus=1 oops in show_stat()Hugh Dickins1-8/+0
Alexey Dobriyan reports that maxcpus=1 is still broken in 2.6.23-rc4: if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, x86_64 bootup oopses in show_stat() - for_each_possible_cpu accesses a per-cpu area which was never set up. Alexey identified commit 61ec7567db103d537329b0db9a887db570431ff4 (ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0") as the origin; but it's not really to blame, just exposes a bug in 2.6.23-rc1's commit 8b3b295502444340dd0701855ac422fbf32e161d (Especially when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, avoid needlessy allocating resources for CPUs that can never become available). rc1's test for max_cpus < 2 in start_kernel() wasn't working because max_cpus was still NR_CPUS at that point: until rc4 moved the maxcpus parsing earlier. Now it sets cpu_possible_map to 1 before allocating all possible per-cpu areas; then smp_init() expands cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map (0xf in my case) later on. rc1's commit has good intentions, but expects cpu_present_map to be limited by maxcpus, which is only the case on i386. cpus_and(possible, possible,present) might be good, but needs an audit of cpu_present_map uses - there may well be assumptions that any cpu present is possible. So stay safe for now and just revert those #ifndef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU optimizations in rc1's commit.

2007-08-30SCTP: Fix to encode PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause correctlyWei Yongjun4-24/+56
PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause in ABORT is bad encode when make abort chunk. When SCTP encode ABORT chunk with PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause, it just add the error messages to PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause, the rest four bytes(struct sctp_paramhdr) is just add to the chunk, not change the length of error cause. This cause the ABORT chunk to be a bad format. The chunk is like this: ABORT chunk Chunk type: ABORT (6) Chunk flags: 0x00 Chunk length: 72 (*1) Protocol violation cause Cause code: Protocol violation (0x000d) Cause length: 62 (*2) Cause information: 5468652063756D756C61746976652074736E2061636B2062...

This fixes a major bug which was happening when a SPU thread advances its execution right after being restored to a SPU. A potentially outdated NPC value was being (re)written to the SPU.

This fixes a regression introduced with 2.6.23-rc4 after on some confusion about the device tree interfaces. IBM QS21 device trees provide "physical-id", so we changed the code to run on that and remain compatible with all IBM machines. However, the Toshiba Celleb device tree provides the "unit-id" property, which was in the Linux code, but never used in this way on IBM hardware. Legacy device tree used the reg property for the physical id of an spe. This patch fixes find_spu_unit_number to look for the spu id in that order. The length is checked to avoid misinterpretation in case the attributes unit-id or reg do not contain the id.

Currently we only assign the sequence number to a packet that we are about to transmit. This however breaks the Partial Reliability extensions, because it's possible for us to never transmit a packet, i.e. it expires before we get to send it.
