* local_t Documentation updateMathieu Desnoyers2007-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grant Grundler was asking for more detail about correct usage of local atomic operations and suggested adding the resulting summary to local_ops.txt. "Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then there must be limits on how the local_t can be used in the kernel process and interrupt contexts. I'd like those rules spelled out very clearly since it's easy to get wrong and tracking down such a bug is quite painful."

* | [libata] Link power management infrastructureKristen Carlson Accardi2007-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it. This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link power management policy to "min_power". Additionally, libata drivers can define a function (enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to enable whatever power management policy the user set up for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM). This power management policy will be activated after all disks have been enumerated and intialized. Drivers should also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power management, but not change link power management policy. Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional information. Signed-off-by: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset. This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4 (LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3, but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently discard console and network input when the guest has no input buffers. This patch changes that, so that we simply stop listening to that fd until the guest refills its input buffers.
