Okay, I found the cause of the hang. It is a simple bug in the USB
scatter-gather library, caused by changes added in response to the S-G
chaining modification.
This patch (as1125) fixes a bug in the USB scatter-gather library.
Early exit from the S-G initialization loop does not reset the count of
outstanding URBs.

According to MMC-3 (or any later versions) READ TOCs are mandatory
commands and have nothing to do with CDC_PLAY_AUDIO. I have no idea why
the check was put there in the first place but it now only breaks
automatic actions on certain drives.
Note that this test was only effective when ide-cdrom was being used
as sr didn't mask CDC_PLAY_AUDIO according to the capabilities.

Aesthetic regards aside, commit e8e7b9eb11c34ee18bde8b7011af41938d1ad667
still leaves a bug in the error message, because it uses the unconverted
big-endian value for printk.
Fix this by using a local variable in machine byte order. The result is
correct, more readable, and also produces slightly shorter code on i386.

The guilty commit turned out to be 08da591e14cf87247ec09b17c350235157a92fc3
("ide: add ide_device_{get,put}() helpers"). ide_device_put() is called
before kref_put() in ide_cd_put() so IDE device is already gone by the time
ide_cd_release() is reached.
Fix it by calling ide_device_get() before kref_get() and ide_device_put()
after kref_put() in all affected device drivers.
v2:
Brown paper bag time. In v1 cd->drive was referenced after dropping last
reference on cd object (which could result in OOPS in ide_device_put() as
reported/debugged by Mariusz Kozlowski). Fix it by caching cd->drive in
the local variable (fix other device drivers too).

This patch fixes the 'scheduling while atomic' errors introduced by
commit 12dac0756d357325b107fe6ec24921ec38661839 ("tg3: adapt tg3 to
use reworked PCI PM code").
The first hunk of the patch removes an unnecessary
tg3_set_power_state() call. The chip will already be in the D0 state
either due to a chip reset or through a previous call to
tg3_set_power_state().
The second hunk of the patch moves the tg3_set_power_state() call
outside the critical section guarded by tg3_full_lock() and
tg3_full_unlock() functions. The power state of the device is and
should be outside the lock's domain and all other
tg3_set_power_state() calls support this.

dst_input() was doing something completely absurd, looping
on skb->dst->input() if NET_XMIT_BYPASS was seen, but these
functions never return such an error.
And as a result plain ole' NET_XMIT_BYPASS has no more
references and can be completely killed off.

Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed that it would be nice to
handle NET_XMIT_BYPASS by NET_XMIT_SUCCESS with an internal qdisc flag
__NET_XMIT_BYPASS and to remove the mapping from dev_queue_xmit().
David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> spotted a serious bug in the first
version of this patch.

Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
"The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
qlen counters."
and later explained:
"The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.
This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."
David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
"Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
attributes.
So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"
The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."
This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag
operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer
(!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked).
This also facilitates lockdeping of page lock.

2.6.26 corrected the mutex locking on tty resizing to fix the case where
you could get the tty/vt sizing out of sync. That turns out to have a
deadlock.
The actual fix is really major and I've got it lined up as part of the ops

======================================================
This testcase results in an mlock() failure with errno 14 that is EFAULT,
but it has nowhere been specified that mlock() will return EFAULT. When I
tested the same on older kernels like 2.6.18, I got the correct result i.e
errno 12 (ENOMEM).
I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in
do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure.
SUSv3 requires the following behavior frmo mlock(2).
[ENOMEM]
Some or all of the address range specified by the addr and
len arguments does not correspond to valid mapped pages
in the address space of the process.
[EAGAIN]
Some or all of the memory identified by the operation could not
be locked when the call was made.
This rule isn't so nice and slighly strange. but many people think
POSIX/SUS compliance is important.

For some time my at91sam9260 board with JFFS2 on serial flash (m25p80)
would hang when accessing the serial flash and SPI bus. Slowing the SPI
clock down to 9 MHz reduced the occurrence of the hang from "always"
during boot to a nuisance level that allowed other SW development to
continue. Finally had to address this issue when an application stresses
the I/O to always cause a hang.
Hang seems to be caused by a missed SPI interrupt, so that the task ends
up waiting forever after calling spi_sync(). The fix has 2 parts. First
is to halt the DMA engine before the "current" PDC registers are loaded.
This ensures that the "next" registers are loaded before the DMA operation
takes off. The second part of the fix is a kludge that adds a
"completion" interrupt in case the ENDRX interrupt for the last segment of
the DMA chaining operation was missed.
The patch allows the SPI clock for the serial flash to be increased from 9
MHz to 15 MHz (or more?). No hangs or SPI overruns were encountered.
Haavard: while this patch does indeed improve things, I still see overruns
and CRC errors on my NGW100 board when running the DataFlash at 10 MHz.
However, I think some improvement is better than nothing, so I'm passing
this on for inclusion in 2.6.27.
