* Fix platform drivers that crash on suspend/resumeDarrick J. Wong2008-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the platform device code expects that platform_device.device->driver points to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver. This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into nowhere, causing a crash. Make this assumption hold true for these three drivers. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro2008-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

* ipmi: add MODULE_ALIAS to load ipmi_devintf with ipmi_siScott James Remnant2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI devices, yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler driver. Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the ipmi_si driver, so that userspace knows of the recommendation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects the handling of write operations to the IPMI watchdog to work as intended by returning the number of characters actually processed.

And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional optimizations on the part of the compiler. The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others, it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is only called at init time and only happens if the BIOS screws something up, so the leak is slight and it is probably not worth sending to 2.6.22.x. The driver would not initialize the interface in the case, and I have no reports of this happening. I have booted and run tests on a system with this patch. Note that the original patch was munged by the mailer, here's a new one. If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(), then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'info'.
