* nfsd: formally deprecate legacy nfsd syscall interfaceNeilBrown2010-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | The syscall interface is has been replaced by a more flexible interface since 2.6.0. It is time to work towards discarding the old interface. So add a entry in feature-removal-schedule.txt and print a warning when the interface is used. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
* docbook: skip files with no docs since they generate scary warningsRandy Dunlap2010-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix docbook templates that reference files that do not contain the expected kernel-doc notation. Fixes these warnings: Warning(arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h): no structured comments found Warning(lib/vsprintf.c): no structured comments found These cause errors in the generated html output, like below, so drop these lines. Name arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h - Document generation inconsistency Oops Warning The template for this document tried to insert the structured comment from the file arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h at this point, but none was found. This dummy section is inserted to allow generation to continue. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* docbook: warn on unused doc entriesJohannes Berg2010-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss including some functions, structs etc. in documentation. To help finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as warnings. For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this: Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_conf when generating the documentation for it.

First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the _OSC features depending on it at the same time. Second, the BIOS may assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave incorrectly if that doesn't happen. For this reason, control of the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER). Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it requests control of all these services simultaneously. In particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe Root Complex the given port belongs to. If that happens, ASPM is disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure has not been received. Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native' (use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native services at all). Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that they don't request control of the services directly. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for the 6 temperature monitoring channels of the PC87427. Note that the sensors resolution can vary, and I couldn't find a way to figure it out, so we might have to compensate in user-space.

Though this is not an ideal use of the chip, some hardware engineers may decide that the LTC4245 meets their design requirements when studying the datasheet. The GPIO pins are sampled in round-robin fashion, meaning that a slow reader will see stale data. A userspace application can detect this, because it will get -EAGAIN when reading from a sysfs file which contains stale data. Users can choose to use this feature on a per-chip basis by using either platform data or the OF device tree (where applicable). Signed-off-by: Ira W.
