* [PATCH] ia64: note requirement for 8250_pnp, now that 8250_acpi is goneBjorn Helgaas2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We removed 8250_acpi in 2.6.17. If we don't have PNPACPI turned on, we won't find any ACPI serial devices, so mention this requirement in the troubleshooting part of the documentation. CONFIG_PNPACPI is already turned on in all the relevant defconfigs.

* [PATCH] IPMI: allow user to override the kernel IPMI daemon enableCorey Minyard2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the previous patch to disable the kernel IPMI daemon if interrupts were available, the issue of broken hardware was raised, and a reasonable request to add an override was mode. So here it is. Allow the user to force the kernel ipmi daemon on or off. This way, hardware with broken interrupts or users that are not concerned with performance can turn it on or off to their liking.

| * | | V4L/DVB (4609): Improved i2c performance on software bitbang algoritmMauro Carvalho Chehab2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Software I2C were using a very conservative value of udelay=16, meaning about 20Kbps. According with Philips I2C datasheet, the i2c should answer well for times at the order of 4.7 us. So, using udelay=5 should work for all devices. After this patch, the speed should be close to 66,67 Kbps, with the current kernel software bitbang, with 30/60 duty cycle. Anyway, added a new parameter (i2c_udelay) that would allow using conservative values, if eventually a hardware doesn't support the datasheet values.

* | | | | | | [PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_mapPaul Jackson2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which automatically tracks the cpu_online_map. This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing, little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change (the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change, that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they haven't. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes allowed by their cpuset.
