* [PATCH] fbdev: Sanitize ->fb_ioctl prototypeChristoph Hellwig2006-01-1427-109/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | The ioctl and file arguments to ->fb_mmap are totally unused and there's not reason a driver should need them. Also update the ->fb_compat_ioctl prototype to be the same as ->fb_mmap.

* [PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSesDavid Vrabel2006-01-142-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video device. Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by the BIOS. This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs mean. I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

* [PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as defaultChristian Trefzer2006-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut. A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the "external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only". An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being the only solution. The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module parameter.

* [PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854Abhay Salunke2006-01-141-22/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854 Root cause: The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu. The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the user action happens. If there is no user action happening the load average goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account. Also after downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu. This causes the thread to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1. Fix: The dell_rbu also creates the entry /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time. The image type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets. Also by echoing init in to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created. The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the callback function. The entries are only created by echoing init to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the entries to download the image monolithic or packet. This fixes the issue since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread and the load average goes back to normal.

* [PATCH] cpuset oom lock fixPaul Jackson2006-01-143-5/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem, reported in: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5859 and by various other email messages and lkml posts is that the cpuset hook in the oom (out of memory) code can try to take a cpuset semaphore while holding the tasklist_lock (a spinlock). One must not sleep while holding a spinlock. The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the tasklist_lock region. This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks, which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

* [PATCH] Add tmpfs options for memory placement policiesRobin Holt2006-01-146-15/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their site's situation. Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for preferred, bind, and interleave policies. The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a significantly reduced number of free pages. With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for that policy where they would prefer allocations. This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist mount option.

* [PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBCCalin A. Culianu2006-01-143-0/+239
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a 2.6 patch that adds support for the watchdog timer built into the EPX-C3 single board computer manufactured by Winsystems, Inc. Driver details: This is for x86 only. This watchdog is pretty basic and simple. It is only configurable via jumpers on the SBC, and it only has either a 1.5s or 200s interval. The watchdog can either be auto-configured to start as soon as the machine powers up (bad idea for the 1.5s interval!) or it can be enabled and disabled by writing to io port 0x1ee. Petting the watchdog involves writing any value to io port 0x1ef. The only unfortunate thing about this watchdog (and it is not at all uncommmon in watchdogs that linux supports) is that it is not a PCI or ISA-PNP device and as such it isn't at all probeable. Either the watchdog exists as 2 bytes at 0x1ee, or it doesn't. Thus, using this driver on a machine that doesn't have that watchdog can potentially hang/crash the system, etc. So only use this driver if you in fact are on a Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC. Anyway this driver fits into the already-existing watchdog framework quite nicely and I already tested it on my EPX-C3 and it works like a charm. Signed-off-by: Calin A.

* [PATCH] convert /proc/devices to use seq_file interfaceNeil Horman2006-01-144-53/+320
| | | | | | | | | | | | A Christoph suggested that the /proc/devices file be converted to use the seq_file interface. This patch does that. I've obxerved one or two installation that had sufficiently large sans that they overran the 4k limit on /proc/devices.

* [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_openAlexander Viro2006-01-141-26/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open() expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open() or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open(). Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open() same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly; that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on normal path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given the semantic changes in both the device-model and fc-transport APIs, the driver's handling of port-type RSCNs via a series of ADISCs and PLOGIs can cause series of badness ranging from unexpectedly device loss to devices not being discovered. In the interim, disable (via a module-parameter) this feature and allow RSCN management to continue to occur within the driver's DPC thread.
