* [MTD] NAND remove write_byte/word function from nand_chipThomas Gleixner2006-05-231-5/+0
| | | | | | | | The previous change of the command / hardware control allows to remove the write_byte/word functions completely, as their only user were nand_command and nand_command_lp. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* [MTD] Refactor NAND hwcontrol to cmd_ctrlThomas Gleixner2006-05-231-16/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | The hwcontrol function enforced a step by step state machine for any kind of hardware chip access. Let the hardware driver know which control bits are set and inform it about a change of the control lines. Let the hardware driver write out the command and address bytes directly. This gives a peformance advantage for address bus controlled chips and simplifies the quirks in the hardware drivers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

| * [MTD] Introduce MTD_BIT_WRITEABLEJoern Engel2006-05-221-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Add a flag MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE for devices that allow single bits to be cleared. o Replace MTD_PROGRAM_REGIONS with a cleared MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE flag for STMicro and Intel Sibley flashes with internal ECC. Those flashes disallow clearing of single bits, unlike regular NOR flashes, so the new flag models their behaviour better. o Remove MTD_ECC. After the STMicro/Sibley merge, this flag is only set and never checked. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@wh.fh-wedel.de>
| * [MTD] Introduce writesizeJoern Engel2006-05-222-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit, similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics. Therefore, rename the minimum write unit to "writesize" for all flashes, including NAND. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@wh.fh-wedel.de>
| * [MTD] Use single flag to mark writeable devices.Joern Engel2006-05-221-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two flags exist to decide whether a device is writeable or not. None of those two flags is checked for independently, so they are clearly redundant, if not an invitation to bugs. This patch removed both of them, replacing them with a single new flag.

| * | [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei2006-05-131-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

* | | [JFFS2] Support new device nodesDavid Woodhouse2006-05-191-0/+6
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it. We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo). This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it, it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we can expect. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | can_share_swap_page() is used to check if the page has the last reference. This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page. However, if CONFIG_SWAP is not set, can_share_swap_page() is defined as 0, thus always causes a copy for the last COW page. The below simple patch fixes it.

This deadlocks the kernel of course. This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address uses) ourselves.

| * | [NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.Simon Kelley2006-05-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff> ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete() neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code. Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate and often wrong. To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4 ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt to complete that entry by doing ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable Looking at the ARP tables by using ip neigh show will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp. This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family. The init call in clip.c is changed to call neigh_table_init_no_netlink(). Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with which to find the correct ARP table. [ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Simon Kelley <simon@thekelleys.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some of the work functions actually reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during ieee80211softmac_stop(). This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that rescheduling does not happen in this situation. I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac and before turning off the ZD1211 radio. (ZD1211 is now fixed as well!) Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region. EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable. If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range. AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for spotting some mistakes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example).
