Subject: [GIT PULL] arch/microblaze fixes for 2.6.35-rc3 v2

Hi Linus,

here are only fixes for Microblaze. There is no any new features.
(flush_dcache_page patch fix problem on WB system)
Just note: Some new patches broke Microblaze arch that's why I would
like to add at least these patches to your tree.

Thanks,
Michal

Sorry, my scatterlist patchset breaks microblaze?

Seems that microblaze can simply remove sg->dma_length instead of
enabling NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH. If sg->dma_length is always equal to
sg->length on your architecture, you don't need to waste memory for
sg->dma_length.

Please correct me if I am wrong. dma_length is used for 64bit machines.
Microblaze is "only" 32bit.

Can you please generate proper patch?

Thanks,
Michal

Sorry about that.

dma_length is used for 32bit machines too.

dma_length is necessary if sg->dma_length can be different to
sg->length, that is, some IOMMU implementations merge several sg
entries to one sg entry.

There are not many 32bit architectures that support an IOMMU so
NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH is usually used on 64bit archs though.

Sure. With this patch, you don't need to enable NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH.

Subject: [PATCH] microblaze: fix sg_dma_len() regression

The commit 8e98307de0d746cb0845ebf66535ce2184c25a2 broke microblaze.

dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't
set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include
dma_length.

sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we
don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use
sg->length.

This _still_ doesn't seem to be "just regressions and major bugfixes for
things like oopses and security issues".

Why do I even have to send this email?

Seems like you will have written more angry emails than there will be
new commits in 2.6.35-rc3 ;-)

Well, partly in order to be fair. I did consider letting architectures
like microblaze just off the hook entirely - it's not like it will affect
a lot of people. But at the same time, I don't want to be in the situation
that some people get to send me patches just because I don't happen to
think that their changes will matter to most others.

And at this stage, I'd rather be too strict than too lenient. If -rc3 has
no new regressions, and fixes the ones that hit people worst, I'll be very
happy. I can be more open to patches after I get back, if it turns out
that I was _too_ strict for -rc3.

As to the number of "no, I won't take it" emails, I suspect a large part
of that is simply because most developers (understandably) do not read
lkml, stauing mostly on the development lists that are more specific to
their particular area. As a result, there's no real way to reliably reach
people, and I end up sending basically the same message several times.

Which obviously tends to also then make the messages more cross ;)

First of all let me apologize for this situation. There is no excuse
that I sent new features in requests after rc.

I've changed my workflow and I will send new pull request with the
strict regression fixes only. There will be only two patches which I
would like to add to your tree.

Thanks and sorry for hassle,
Michal
