I couldn't find any memory policy documentation in the Documentation
directory, so here is my attempt to document it.
There's lots more that could be written about the internal design--including
data structures, functions, etc. However, if you agree that this is better
that the nothing that exists now, perhaps it could be merged. This will
provide a baseline for updates to document the many policy patches that are
currently being worked.

Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:

This occurs because the section to node id mapping is not being
setup correctly during init under SPARSEMEM_STATIC, leading to an
attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.
When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new
section to node mapping table was introduced:
commit 89689ae7f9
[PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]
That conversion inadvertantly only initialised the node mapping in

The k8t_sound_hostbridge PCI quick fires on my motherboard (Jetway
K8M8MS) while it shouldn't: the on-board sound chip is not disabled
and is working just fine. Looking at the code, I see that we are
running the quirk for two distinct register values (0x88 and 0xc8)
and then clear bit 6 (0x40). However value 0x88 already has bit 6
cleared so this is a no-op. This is what happens on my board. Thus I
believe that the quirk should only be run for register value 0xc8.

Ok, lets kill the message. As Alois Nešpor also saw, that's fixed up by Yenta,
so PCI does not have to warn about it. PCI could still warn about it if
is_cardbus is 0 in that instance of pci_scan_bridge(), but so far I have
not seen a report where this would have been the case so I think we can
spare the kernel of that check (removes ~300 lines of asm) unless debugging
is done.
History: The whole check was added in the days before we had the fixup
for this in Yenta and pci=assign-busses was the only way to get CardBus
cards detected on many (not all) of the machines which give this warning.
In theory, there could be cases when this warning would be triggered and
it's not cardbus, then the warning should still apply, but I think this
should only be the case when working on a completely broken PCI setup,
but one may have already enabled the debug code in drivers/pci and the
patched check would then trigger.
I do not sign this off yet because it's completely untested so far, but
everyone is free to test it (with the #ifdef DEBUG replaced by #if 1 and
pr_debug( changed to printk(.
We may also dump the whole check (remove everything within the #ifdef from
the source) if that's perferred.
On Alois Nešpor's machine this would then (only when debugging) this message:
"PCI: Bus #0b (-#0e) is partially hidden behind transparent bridge #0a (-#0b)"
"partially" should be in the message on his machine because #0b of #0b-#0e
is reachable behind #0a-#0b, but not #0c-#0e.
But that differentiation is now moot anyway because the fixup in Yenta takes
care of it as far as I could see so far, which means that unless somebody
is debugging a totally broken PCI setup, this message is not needed anymore,
not even for debugging PCI.
Ok, here the patch with the following changes:
* Refined to say that the bus is only partially hidden when the parent
bus numbers are not totally way off (outside of) the child bus range
* remove the reference to pci=assign-busses and the plea to report it
We could add a pure source code-only comment to keep a reference to
pci=assign-busses the in case when this is triggered by someone who
is debugging the cause of this message and looking the way to solve it.

windows than those set by firmware quirk_e100_interrupt() is causing
kernel panic as it tries to read from device BAR0 offets which at this

After this happens to the Canon EOS 5D camera, the camera's interrupt endpoints

A similar fix is probably necessary for this camera in PTP mode, which

This patch (as961) fixes a couple of bugs in the disconnect pathway of
usb-storage.
The first problem, which apparently has been around for a while
although nobody noticed it, shows up when an aborted command is still
pending when a disconnect occurs. The SCSI error-handler will
continue to wait in command_abort() until the us->notify completion is
signalled. Thus quiesce_and_remove_host() needs to signal it.
The second problem was introduced recently along with autosuspend
support. Since usb_stor_scan_thread() now calls
usb_autopm_put_interface() before exiting, we can't simply leave the
scanning thread running after a disconnect; we must wait until the
thread exits. This is solved by adding a new struct completion to the
private data structure. Fortuitously, it allows the removal of the
rather clunky mechanism used in the past to insure that all threads
have finished before the module is unloaded.

Some devices have a bug which causes them to send a 1-byte reply to
Get-Device-Status requests instead of 2 bytes as required by the
spec. This doesn't play well with autosuspend, since we look for a
valid status reply to make sure the device is still present when it
resumes. Without both bytes, we assume the device has been
disconnected.
Lack of the second byte shouldn't matter much, since the spec requires
it always to be equal to 0. Hence this patch (as959) causes
finish_port_resume() to accept a 1-byte reply as valid.
