5d0360ee96 rd: fix data corruption on memory pressure
We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure.  This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them
dirty all the time.

It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean,
without telling the ramdisk driver.  On memory pressure shrink_zone runs
and it starts to run shrink_active_list.  There is a check for
buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page.  If the mapping has no releasepage
callback, try_to_free_buffers is called.  try_to_free_buffers has now a
special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all
buffers are clean.  Thats what happened in our test case.

The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver.  This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

e62aa046e1 paride: pf driver fixes
The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken.  At least
with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and
pi_disconnect after each transferred sector.  At least with EPAT, this
operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration.  Thus, transferring
even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20
seconds, making the driver useless.

The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except
when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and
do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once.

The following patch fixes this problem.  It also fixes swapped descriptions in
pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

Add a helper, and then define the SHUT_* enum to ensure that kernel users

  fa05f1286b ("Update net/ to use sg helpers")

converted many files to use the scatter gather helpers without ensuring
that the necessary headerfile <linux/scatterlist> is included.  This
happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they
happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>.

On most of the others this probably broke.

Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include
<linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

e467cde238 Block driver using virtio.
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.

We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
patch.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in

fdc1ca8aba floppy: remove register keyword use from floppy driver
The floppy drive is slow.  These days I see absolutely no good reason why the
floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to
optimize access to some variables via the register keyword.  Better to just
leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not
hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special
and need to be fast (they don't).

1a614f5051 cciss: fix error reporting for SG_IO
This fixes a problem with the way cciss was filling out the "errors" field
of the request structure upon completion of requests.  Previously, it just
put a 1 or a 0 in there and used the negation of this as the uptodate
parameter to one of the functions in the block layer, being a block device.
 For the SG_IO ioctl, this was not sufficient, and we noticed that, for
example, sg_turs from sg3_utils did not correctly detect problems due to
cciss having set rq->errors incorrectly.

7fdfd4065c NBD: allow hung network I/O to be cancelled
Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs.  Previously, I/O
would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least
user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes)
occurred.

The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit
timeout value (in seconds) to be specified.  Any network send that exceeds the
timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down.  I've
tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for
the timeout.  If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O
hang) behavior.

# vgscan
   Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
   /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 0: Input/output error
   /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 509804544: Input/output error

   /dev/nbd1: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error

 From now on, uninitialized nbd devices will have size zero, which
prevents these errors.

In the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called, the
parameter served should be transformed accordingly.

8bf50f71cb cciss: disable DMA refetch on Smart Array P600
This patch disables DMA refetch in the PCI bridge. We have disabled DMA
prefetch for quite some time. Testing with XEN revealed another ASIC bug. If
dom0 resides on a P600 the board can can an MCA bi accessing invalid memory
addresses. Apparently, we need to disable both prefetch and refetch.
My understanding is a refetch operation should not occur but it is a valid
thing to do if prefetched data is no longer available for whatever reason.
Please consider this patch for inclusion.

8268f5a741 deny partial write for loop dev fd
Partial write can be easily supported by LO_CRYPT_NONE mode, but it is not
easy in LO_CRYPT_CRYPTOAPI case, because of its block nature.  I don't know
who still used cryptoapi, but theoretically it is possible.  So let's leave
things as they are.  Loop device doesn't support partial write before
Nick's "write_begin/write_end" patch set, and let's it behave the same way
after.

These are intended to replace prepare_write and commit_write with more
flexible alternatives that are also able to avoid the buffered write
deadlock problems efficiently (which prepare_write is unable to do).

a683d652d3 Panic in blk_rq_map_sg() from CCISS driver
New scatter/gather list chaining [sg_next()] treats 'page' member of
struct scatterlist with low bit set [0x01] as a chain pointer to
another struct scatterlist [array].  The CCISS driver request function
passes an uninitialized, temporary, on-stack scatterlist array to
blk_rq_map_sq().  sg_next() interprets random data on the stack as a
chain pointer and eventually tries to de-reference an invalid pointer,
resulting in:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

This patch initializes the tmp_sg array to zeroes.  Perhaps not the ultimate
fix, but an effective work-around.  I can now boot 23-rc6-mm1 on an HP
Proliant x86_64 with CCISS boot disk.
