| * | can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local trafficOliver Hartkopp2010-10-211-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible for userspace to tell is a received CAN frame comes from another process on the local host, or from a remote CAN device. This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish between 'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. The distinction is made by returning flags in msg->msg_flags in the call to recvmsg(). The added documentation explains the introduced flags.

| * | Phonet: cleanup pipe enable socket optionRémi Denis-Courmont2010-10-081-12/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code works like this: int garbage, status; socklen_t len = sizeof(status); /* enable pipe */ setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage)); /* disable pipe */ setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_DISABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage)); /* get status */ getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_INQ, &status, &len); ...which does not follow the usual socket option pattern. This patch merges all three "options" into a single gettable&settable option, before Linux 2.6.37 gets out: int status; socklen_t len = sizeof(status); /* enable pipe */ status = 1; setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status)); /* disable pipe */ status = 0; setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status)); /* get status */ getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, &len); This also fixes the error code from EFAULT to ENOTCONN.

| * | | | | dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallbackGerrit Renker2010-08-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value. The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the sending rate. This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value, it allows to adapt to network conditions. The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by > ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0 (assuming HZ=1000).

| * | | | | dccp ccid-2: Share TCP's minimum RTO codeGerrit Renker2010-08-301-6/+20

It helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link. Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a" "[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics." available to DCCP. This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the expected way now also for CCID-2: > ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0 Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h, which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

Jiri Sladby points out that the tty structure we're using may already be gone, and Al Viro doesn't hold back in complaining about the random loading of 'filp->private_data' which doesn't have to be a pointer at all, nor does checking the magic field for TTY_MAGIC prove anything. Belated review by Al: "a) global variable depending on stdin of the last opener? Affecting output of read(2)? Really? b) iterator is broken; list should be locked in ->start(), unlocked in ->stop() and *NOT* unlocked/relocked in ->next() c) ->show() ought to do nothing in case of ->device == NULL, instead of skipping those in ->next()/->start() d) regardless of the merits of the bright idea about asterisk at that line in output *and* regardless of (a), the implementation is not only atrociously ugly, it's actually very likely to be a roothole. Verifying that Cthulhu knows what number happens to be address of a tty_struct by blindly dereferencing memory at that address... Ouch. Please revert that crap." And Christoph pipes in and NAK's the approach of walking fd tables etc too. So it's pretty unanimous.

MPC5121 Rev 2.0 silicon EHCI registers are in big endian format. The appropriate flags are set using the information in the platform data structure. MPC83xx system interface registers are not available on MPC512x, so the access to these registers is isolated in MPC512x case. Furthermore the USB controller clocks must be enabled before 512x register accesses which is done by providing platform specific init callback. The MPC512x internal USB PHY doesn't provide supply voltage. For boards using different power switches allow specifying DRVVBUS and PWR_FAULT signal polarity of the MPC5121 internal PHY using "fsl,invert-drvvbus" and "fsl,invert-pwr-fault" properties in the device tree USB nodes.

This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

All IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH are actually devices sitting on AMBA bus. Packet hub is a special converter device in Topcliff PCH that translate AMBA transactions to PCI Express transactions and vice versa. Thus packet hub helps present all IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH as PCIE devices to IA system. Topcliff PCH has MAC address and Option ROM data. These data are in SROM which is connected to PCIE bus. Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH can access MAC address and Option ROM data in SROM via sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks. This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param. When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be applied.

This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward progress. This is also to make it cleaner to add more semantics to WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim workqueues can be made highpri. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.
