Patch: fix wrong HD activity control by ahci driver
The ahci driver 1.0 sets the SActive bit on every transaction,
causing the LED to light up. The SActive bit is used only for
native command queuing (NCQ) which the current driver version
doesn't implement. Resetting the SActive bit is the device's
responsibility (by sending a "Set Device Bits FIS" to the
host adapter) but this is not required in response to
non-NCQ commands, and (most) devices don't. Thus the LED
stays always on. This patch fixes the LED behavior.

Description:
After calling the completion callback, the libata error handler might be
running and getting atapi sense data. Clearing the ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE flag
at this point might interfere with the libata error handler.
Changes:
- Clear the ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE flag before calling the completion callback
(and also before the error handler)
- Add some comment

sata_sx4 directly references sg->length to calculate total_len in
pdc20621_dma_prep(). This is incorrect as dma_map_sg() could have
merged multiple sg's into one and, in such case, sg->length doesn't
reflect true size of the entry. This patch makes it use
sg_dma_len(sg).

sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!
This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
new iovec structure. Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.
I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
problem:
http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c
Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

Remove new configuration API from i2o_config
The API-patch is still available from the I2O website (which is mentioned in
the kernel config now). It is removed because it creates a new binary
sysfs-attribute, which doesn't have the limitiation of 4k. Expect for the
Adaptec controllers, which has a limitation in the hardware this attribute
doesn't make sense anywhere else. Until the sysfs API provides an attribute
which doesn't buffer (like firmware) and let access to at least 64k blocks i
provide a separate patch...

it out before 2.6.13).

Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set.
For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly
frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock
can be seen every few days. If you are not using the cpuset
notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock.
The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did:
get cpuset_sem
if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
drop cpuset_sem
Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and
allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values
changed in the interim. This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain
cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task.
To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding
cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper
call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem.
So the new logic is:
get cpuset_sem
if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
stash path in kmalloc'd buffer
drop cpuset_sem
call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
free path
The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any
calls to kmalloc. The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was
already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path. In the old code, it
just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call
that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper(). In the new code, with the
application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char
**ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(),
which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped. Whereas the old code has just
one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release()
routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the
various places that a cpuset can be released.
This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that
previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.
