* fuse: fix bdi naming conflictMiklos Szeredi2008-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev). This works fine for anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a real block device. In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned device is being mounted. Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems. Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.

* i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentationDavid Brownell2008-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat: - Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0 specification), not made-up-for-Linux names. - Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute different protocol operations than their names specify. The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

Only if the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated. Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range, ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

We were using "tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to userland. Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary, and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named "ktpacpi_nvramd"). Also, register a module alias with the shorthand. One can refer to the module using the shorthand name.

The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least once. When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware. thinkpad-acpi will: 1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode if one is available 2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode 3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up). Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers. Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.
