* Revert "sky2: remove check for PCI wakeup setting from BIOS"Stephen Hemminger2008-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 84cd2dfb04d23a961c5f537baa243fa54d0987ac. Some BIOS's break if Wake On Lan is enabled, and the machine can't boot. Better to have some user's have to call ethtool to enable WOL than to break a single user's boot.

| * rt2x00: Fix ieee80211 payload alignmentIvo van Doorn2008-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Johannes Berg indicated, the NET_IP_ALIGN doesn't need to be used for ieee80211 frames. This means we can simplify the alignment calculation to just use the result of the header size modulus 4 as frame alignment. Furthermore we shouldn't use NET_IP_ALIGN in rt2x00usb because it could be 0 on some architectures and we absolutely need to have 2 bytes reserved for possible aligning.

Add it to the fact that the xmit handler does not check for a queue full condition and you have a recipe to leak quickly. Let's release every pending Tx descriptor which has been given back to the host CPU by the network controller. The xmit handler suggests that it is done through the IPG_TFC_TFDDONE bit.

The bond_change_active_slave and bond_select_active_slave functions both require rtnl, bond->lock for read and curr_slave_lock for write_bh, and no other locks. This is so that the lower level mode-specific functions (notably for balance-alb mode) can release locks down to just rtnl in order to call, e.g., dev_set_mac_address with the locks it expects (rtnl only).

This is done to synchronize the position of the mouse cursor on the client desktop with the mouse cursor position on the server. Mousedev is not designed to pass those absolute events directly to X, but it can translate them into relative movements. It currently does this for tablet like devices and touchpads. This patch merely tells it to also include a device with ABS_X, ABS_Y, and mouse buttons in its list of devices to process input for. This patch enables the mouse pointer to move when using the remote console. Signed-off-by: Micah Parrish <micah.parrish@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

This patch increases performance of the page fault microbenchmark in lmbench by 13% and overall dbench performance by 7% on s390x. pfn_valid() is an expensive operation on s390 that needs a high double digit amount of CPU cycles. Nick Piggin suggested that pfn_valid() involves an array lookup on systems with sparsemem, and therefore is an expensive operation there too. The check looks like a clear debug thing to me, it should never trigger on regular kernels. And if a pte is created for an invalid pfn, we'll find out once the memory gets accessed later on anyway.

This hurts when the governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its init function. This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the only possible choice. The performance governor is always initialized early because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default. Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue during boot-time.

This is not permitted in lockdep. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic. This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable name.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs_rename/move_dir() have the following bugs. - On dentry lookup failure, kfree() is called on ERR_PTR() value. - sysfs_move_dir() has an extra dput() on success path.

* | | sysfs: make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on failed lookupTejun Heo2008-01-16
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs tries to keep dcache a strict subset of sysfs_dirent tree by shooting down dentries when a node is removed, that is, no negative dentry for sysfs. However, the lookup function returned NULL and thus created negative dentries when the target node didn't exist. Make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on lookup failure. This fixes the NULL dereference bug in sysfs_get_dentry() discovered by bluetooth rfcomm device moving around.
