[PATCH] i2o: block IO errors on i2o disk

2007-03-27T16:05:16Z

I2O subsystem has been broken in mainstream several months ago (after 2.6.18). Commit 4aff5e2333c9a1609662f2091f55c3f6fffdad36 from Jens Axboe split struct request ->flags into two parts: cmd_type and cmd_flags. In i2o layer this patch has replaced flag REQ_SPECIAL by the according cmd_type. However i2o has used REQ_SPECIAL not as command type but as driver-specific flag for the debug purposes. As result all i2o requests have type "special" now, are not processed to the hardware and fail with I/O error: i2o/hda:<3>Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 unable to read partition table block-osm: device added (TID: 207): i2o/hda The following patch removes the extra debug checks without any drawbacks and restores the normal driver's work.

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5

2007-02-12T17:48:45Z

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58Z

Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "$[^$]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?$[^$]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] i2o_exec_exit and i2o_driver_exit should not be __exit.

2006-12-13T17:05:47Z

i2o_exec_exit and i2o_driver_exit were marked as __exit which is a bug because both are invoked from __init and __exit functions. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Cc: Markus Lidel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] I2O: fix I2O_CONFIG without Adaptec extension

2006-12-07T16:39:39Z

With I2O_CONFIG=y and I2O_EXT_ADAPTEC=n, kernel build gets: drivers/message/i2o/i2o_config.c:1115: error: 'i2o_cfg_compat_ioctl' undeclared here (not in a function) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: Markus Lidel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Handle __copy_from_user() return value. Noticed by inspection, not from build warning. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: Markus Lidel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] I2O: more error checking

2006-12-07T16:39:31Z

i2o_scsi: handle sysfs failure i2o_device: * convert i2o_device_add() to return integer error code rather than pointer. Fortunately -nobody- checks the return code of this function, so changing has nil impact. * handle errors thrown by device_register() More work in i2o_device remains.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
