| * [PATCH] isofs: show hidden files, add granularity for assoc/hidden files flagsJeremy White2005-06-211-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current isofs treatment of hidden files is flawed in two ways. First, it does not provide sufficient granularity; it hides both 'hidden' files and 'associated' files (resource fork for Mac files). Second, the default behavior to completely strip hidden files, while an admirable implementation of the spec, is a poor choice given the real world use of hidden files as a poor mans copy protection scheme for MSDOS and Windows based systems. A longer description of this is available here: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0205.3/0267.html This patch was originally built after a few private conversations with Alan Cox; I shamefully failed to persist in seeing it go forward, I hope to make amends now. This patch introduces granularity by allowing explicit control for both hidden and associated files. It also reverses the default so that by default, hidden files are treated as regular files on the iso9660 file system. This allow Wine to process Windows CDs, including those that are hybrid Mac/Windows CDs properly and completely, without our having to go muck up peoples fstabs as we do now. (I have tested this with such a hybrid + hidden CD and have verified that this patch works as claimed).

| * [PATCH] ioc4: Core driver rewriteBrent Casavant2005-06-211-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers. These changes are motivated by several factors: - The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e. multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable. - The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly. - All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable these drivers independently. - The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver) in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model. - IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken. This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also handled in this core driver. This patch: The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not all IOC4 hardware features are being used. This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly delineate module ownership of these items.

| * [PATCH] shmem: restore superblock infoHugh Dickins2005-06-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To improve shmem scalability, we allowed tmpfs instances which don't need their blocks or inodes limited not to count them, and not to allocate any sbinfo. Which was okay when the only use for the sbinfo was accounting blocks and inodes; but since then a couple of unrelated projects extending tmpfs want to store other data in the sbinfo. Whether either extension reaches mainline is beside the point: I'm guilty of a bad design decision, and should restore sbinfo to make any such future extensions easier. So, once again allocate a shmem_sb_info for every shmem/tmpfs instance, and now let max_blocks 0 indicate unlimited blocks, and max_inodes 0 unlimited inodes. Brent Casavant verified (many months ago) that this does not perceptibly impact the scalability (since the unlimited sbinfo cacheline is repeatedly accessed but only once dirtied). And merge shmem_set_size into its sole caller shmem_remount_fs.

Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.
