* [SCSI] fc_transport: fix sysfs deadlock on vport deleteJames Smart2007-05-261-63/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the vport attribute "delete" is used to delete the vport, sysfs deadlocks waiting for the write to complete, which is waiting for the sysfs teardown to complete. Moved this effort to a work_q element. Took the opportunity to make some other cosmetic changes: - removed tabs in Doc file - replaced with expanded spaces - minor copyright text and author text updates - removed a bunch of trailing whitespace Signed-off-by: James Smart <James.Smart@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* [SCSI] FC Transport support for vports based on NPIVJames Smart2007-05-161-0/+450
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides support for FC virtual ports based on NPIV. For information on the interfaces and design, please read the Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt file enclosed within the patch. The RFC was originally posted here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=117226959918393&w=2 Changes from the initial RFC: - Bug fix: needed a transport_class_unregister() for the vport class - Create a symlink to the vport in the shost device if it is not the parent of the vport. - Made symbolic name writable so it can be set after creation - Made the temporary fc_vport_identifiers struct private to the transport. - Deleted the vport_id field from the vport. I couldn't find any good use for it (and symname is a good replacement). - Made the vport_state and vport_last_state "private" attributes. Added the fc_vport_set_state() helper function to manage state transitions - Updated vport_create() to allow a vport to be created in a disabled state. - Added INITIALIZING and FAILED vport states - Added VPCERR_xxx defines for errors to be returned from vport_create() - Created a Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt file that describes the interfaces and expected LLDD behaviors.

* libata: implement libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo2007-05-111-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming, some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so this double spinning down causes problem. This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which, when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down in all cases without modifying shutdown(8). shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be dangerous data integrity-wise. So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do. * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat exists. If it does, write 0 to it. * For each libata harddisk { * Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk down as before. } The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without it. To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by hours of tireless usability testing).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

In particular: * Remove the definitions related to hibernation from include/linux/pm.h * Introduce struct hibernation_ops and a new hibernate() function to hibernate the system, defined in include/linux/suspend.h * Separate suspend code in kernel/power/main.c from hibernation-related code in kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c (with the help of hibernation_ops) * Switch ACPI (the only user of pm_ops.pm_disk_mode) to hibernation_ops Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* | Documentation/i386/boot.txt: update and correctH. Peter Anvin2007-05-081-23/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol documentation. Revamp to make it more up to date. In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly) more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever. Thus, recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader maximizes the available space. Signed-off-by: H.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have the much better esp_scsi driver and low level drivers are easy to port over deprecate the old NCR53C9x driver. I've Cc'ed the m68k and mips lists because all but one bus glues are for these platforms. Chances stand bad for the remaining driver, mca_53c9x which hasn't gotten any non-trivial update since it was merge in late 2.1.x and whos maintainers mail address bounces.
