* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [PATCH] proc: remove useless (and buggy) ->nlink settingsAlexey Dobriyan2007-02-111-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug: pnx8550 code creates directory but resets ->nlink to 1. create_proc_entry() et al will correctly set ->nlink for you.

* [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_tChristoph Lameter2006-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizesJohn Rose2006-11-101-10/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware. RTAS assumes 4k for flash block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure, even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement. This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to RTAS. The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with 4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for the flash blocks and lists. The 4k alignment requirement is specified in PAPR. Signed-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: reorg RTAS delay codeJohn Rose2006-06-091-21/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple and consistent manner. Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to manage wait times and delay calls. This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay() when a runtime delay is necessary. This will avoid CPU soft lockups for extended delay conditions.

* [PATCH] Don't check pointer for NULL before passing it to kfree ↵Jesper Juhl2006-02-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | [arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c] Checking a pointer for NULL before passing it to kfree is pointless, kfree does its own NULL checking of input. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Merge remaining RTAS codePaul Mackerras2005-11-031-0/+834
This moves rtas-proc.c and rtas_flash.c into arch/powerpc/kernel, since cell wants them as well as pseries (and chrp can use rtas-proc.c too, at least in principle). rtas_fw.c is gone, with its bits moved into rtas_flash.c and rtas.c. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
