* mtd: flash mapping support for Dreamcast VMU.Adrian McMenamin2009-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the Sega Dreamcast visual memory unit as a flash mapping. It requires changes in the maple bus driver (posted separately) to support block reads and writes. The VMU is a 'smart' flash device, with a built-in 8-bit controller - for instance there is an erase before a write but it is hidden from the user. But the device's overall behaviour means it works well with the mtd layer and it is appropriate to add it as an mtd mapping.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

However, sk->sk_err wants a positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error. Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the (usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :). This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
