| * [PATCH] PCI Error Recovery: documentationlinas@austin.ibm.com2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various PCI bus errors can be signaled by newer PCI controllers. Recovering from those errors requires an infrastructure to notify affected device drivers of the error, and a way of walking through a reset sequence. This patch adds documentation describing the current error recovery proposal. Signed-off-by: Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
| * [PATCH] PCI: document sysfs rom file interfaceJesse Barnes2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | idr gently pointed out today that not only is the sysfs rom file interface somewhat unintuitive (despite my efforts and initial implementation), but it's also undocumented! This patch to Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt corrects the latter problem; the former is a userland ABI now though, so we're stuck with it for awhile at least.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also add a nr_uarts module option to the 8250 code to override this, up to a maximum of CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS This should appease people who complain about a proliferation of /dev/ttyS & /sysfs nodes whilst at the same time allowing a single kernel image to support the rarer occasions of lots of devices.

This release is almost identical to the version for the 2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part of the Cell BE Linux distribution from http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/. The first patch provides all the interfaces for running spu application, but does not have any support for debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these functionalities are added in the subsequent patches. See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use spufs.
