aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs

2009-09-09T12:10:18Z

Andy Whitcroft reported an oops in aoe triggered by use of an incorrectly initialised request_queue object: [ 2645.959090] kobject '' (ffff880059ca22c0): tried to add an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong. [ 2645.959104] Pid: 6, comm: events/0 Not tainted 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu [ 2645.959107] Call Trace: [ 2645.959139] [] kobject_add+0x5f/0x70 [ 2645.959151] [] blk_register_queue+0x8b/0xf0 [ 2645.959155] [] add_disk+0x8f/0x160 [ 2645.959161] [] aoeblk_gdalloc+0x164/0x1c0 [aoe] The request queue of an aoe device is not used but can be allocated in code that does not sleep. Bruno bisected this regression down to cd43e26f071524647e660706b784ebcbefbd2e44 block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs "This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for everyone who is using queues, not just for those queues that have a non-NULL queue->request_fn." Addresses http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410198 Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942 Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was always buggy in this respect (Jens). Signed-off-by: Ed Cashin Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Cc: Bruno Premont Cc: Martin K.

i915: disable interrupts before tearing down GEM state

2009-09-09T00:09:24Z

Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs) when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops turned out to be BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084 IP: [] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915] and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do i915_gem_idle() -> i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() -> i915_gem_cleanup_hws() -> dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL; but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference. And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt, and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is simply a silently hung machine. Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than after.

drm/radeon/kms: add LTE/GTE discard + rv515 two sided stencil register.

2009-09-07T05:26:19Z

This adds some rv350+ register for LTE/GTE discard, and enables the rv515 two sided stencil register. It also disables the DEPTHXY_OFFSET register which can be used to workaround the CS checker. Moves rs690 to proper place in rs600 and uses correct table on rs600. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie
