People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as
used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of
data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530.
I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
actual cause.
The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c. What
happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty. That copies all
the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
which calls tasklet_schedule. So far so good. Since we are in
process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
tty->driver->write function to send some more output.
However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
tty->receive_room is still zero. We haven't returned from
check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
_after_ calling check_unthrottle. That means that the driver->write
call in ppp_async_process() returns 0. That would be fine if we were
going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
and the buffer is now empty).
The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
calling the driver unthrottle routine. The patch below does this.
With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
connection would always stall in under a minute.

According to Intel ICH spec, there are several rules that Base Address
should be programmed before IOSE (PCICMD register ) enabled.
For example ICH7:
12.1.3 SATA : the base address register for the bus master register
should be programmed before this bit is set.
11.1.3: PCICMD (USB): The base address register for USB should be
programmed before this bit is set.
....
To make sure kernel code follow this rule , and prevent unnecessary
confusion. I proposal this patch.

We currently don't handle errors properly when resuming a PCI device:
* In pci_default_resume() we capture the error code returned by
pci_enable_device() but don't pass it up to the caller.
Introduced by commit 95a629657d
* In pci_resume_device(), the errors possibly returned by the driver's
.resume method or by the generic pci_default_resume() function are
ignored.
This patch fixes both issues.

Get rid of all the SUN_570X logic and instead:
1) Make sure MEMARB_ENABLE is set when we probe the SRAM
for config information. If that is off we will get
timeouts.
2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no
firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead
just report it the first time we notice this condition.
3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device
is onboard by setting TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT.

Currently the hvc_rtas driver is painfully slow to use. Our "benchmark" is
ls -R /etc, which spits out about 27866 characters. The theoretical maximum
speed would be about 2.2 seconds, the current code takes ~50 seconds.
The core of the problem is that sometimes when the tty layer asks us to push
characters the firmware isn't able to handle some or all of them, and so
returns an error. The current code sees this and just returns to the tty code
with the buffer half sent.
The khvcd thread will eventually wake up and try to push more characters, which
will usually work because by then the firmware's had time to make room. But
the khvcd thread only wakes up every 10 milliseconds, which isn't fast enough.
So change the khvcd thread logic so that if there's an incomplete write we
yield() and then immediately try writing again. Doing so makes POLL_QUICK and
POLL_WRITE synonymous, so remove POLL_QUICK.
With this patch our "benchmark" takes ~2.8 seconds.

If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
calls sysfs_notify. However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
called in interrupt context.
This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
call, and uses that. A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
be called from user-context.
Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
itself, modify the sync_action attribute. (We do still need to
wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

Change the binary output format to actual ACPI TCPA log structure since the

verify the PCRs in TPM. tpm_binary_bios_measurements_show() uses
get_event_name() to convert the binary event-data to ascii format, and puts
them as binary. However, to verify the PCRs, the event-data must be a
actual binary event-data used by SHA1 calc. in BIOS.
So, I think actual ACPI TCPA log is good for this binary output format.
