      ACPI, IO memory pre-mapping and atomic accessing · 15651291
      Huang Ying 提交于
      Some ACPI IO accessing need to be done in atomic context. For example,
      APEI ERST operations may be used for permanent storage in hardware
      error handler. That is, it may be called in atomic contexts such as
      IRQ or NMI, etc. And, ERST/EINJ implement their operations via IO
      memory/port accessing.  But the IO memory accessing method provided by
      ACPI (acpi_read/acpi_write) maps the IO memory during it is accessed,
      so it can not be used in atomic context. To solve the issue, the IO
      memory should be pre-mapped during EINJ/ERST initializing. A linked
      list is used to record which memory area has been mapped, when memory
      is accessed in hardware error handler, search the linked list for the
      mapped virtual address from the given physical address.

      Fix the regression created by "set S_DEAD on unlink()..." commit · d83c49f3
      Al Viro 提交于
      1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
      we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
      shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on.  To fix it
      right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
      upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
      i_mutex on the inode in question.  Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
      in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
      in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD.  Setting S_DEAD
      is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
      getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
      prevention.
      
      2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
      the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint.  Fixed.
      
      3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
      right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
      one.  Noticed and fixed.

      cpuidle: Fix incorrect optimization · 1c6fe036
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      commit 672917dc ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit")
      added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved
      from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle.
      
      Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key
      variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis.  The fix is
      simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle.
      
      During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was
      also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a
      local variable is always used instead.

      md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down. · 1176568d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
      from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
      it could spin down and say spun down.  Device failure/removal
      etc are still recorded on spares.
      
      However commit 51d5668c broke this 50% of the time,
      depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
      The change log entry said:
      
         This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
          'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,
      
      how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
      could take arbitrarily long.
      
      So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
      force a second metadata-update immediately.  There are already cases
      where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
      device fails during the metadata update).  We just piggy-back on that.
