* [PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch: mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4, but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6. On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm, so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there. Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under and sometimes not?).

* [PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swapHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time; yet we keep on breaking it more and more. If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all. I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

| * [PATCH] USB: Always do usb-handoffAlan Stern2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This revised patch (as586b) makes usb-handoff permanently true and no longer a kernel boot parameter. It also removes the piix3_usb quirk code; that was nothing more than an early version of the USB handoff code (written at a time when Intel's PIIX3 was about the only motherboard with USB support). And it adds identifiers for the three PCI USB controller classes to pci_ids.h. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add PEC support to the lm90 driver. Only the ADM1032 chip supports it, and in a rather tricky way, which is why this patch comes with documentation reinforcements. At least, this demonstrates that the new PEC support logic in i2c-core can properly deal with chips with partial PEC support. As enabling PEC causes a significant performance drop, it can be disabled through a sysfs file (unsurprisingly named "pec").

Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear again. Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump another packet. This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of large number of packets. I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will change the way we do packet updates; In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file. This driver also creates a new entry in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet size here before downloading the packet file. The user should do the following: create one single file which has all the packets stacked together. echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size. echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory. This makes packet update process very efficient and fast. As all the packet update happens in one single operation. The user can still read back the downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.
