* [PATCH] don't select CONFIG_HOTPLUGAndrew Morton2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's useful to be able to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG for compile-coverage testing and for section-checking coverage. But a few things go and select CONFIG_HOTPLUG, making it a royal PITA to turn the thing off. It's only turnable offable if CONFIG_EMBEDDED anyway. So let's make those things depend on HOTPLUG, not select it.

* | [PATCH] Use Zoned VM Counters for NUMA statisticsChristoph Lameter2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The numa statistics are really event counters. But they are per node and so we have had special treatment for these counters through additional fields on the pcp structure. We can now use the per zone nature of the zoned VM counters to realize these. This will shrink the size of the pcp structure on NUMA systems. We will have some room to add additional per zone counters that will all still fit in the same cacheline. Bits Prior pcp size Size after patch We can add ------------------------------------------------------------------ 64 128 bytes (16 words) 80 bytes (10 words) 48 32 76 bytes (19 words) 56 bytes (14 words) 8 (64 byte cacheline) 72 (128 byte) Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with zoned vm counters. This has the side effect that global sums of these events now show up in /proc/vmstat. Also take the opportunity to move the zone_statistics() function from page_alloc.c into vmstat.c.

* | [PATCH] zoned vm counters: split NR_ANON_PAGES off from NR_FILE_MAPPEDChristoph Lameter2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current NR_FILE_MAPPED is used by zone reclaim and the dirty load calculation as the number of mapped pagecache pages. However, that is not true. NR_FILE_MAPPED includes the mapped anonymous pages. This patch separates those and therefore allows an accurate tracking of the anonymous pages per zone. It then becomes possible to determine the number of unmapped pages per zone and we can avoid scanning for unmapped pages if there are none. Also it may now be possible to determine the mapped/unmapped ratio in get_dirty_limit. Isnt the number of anonymous pages irrelevant in that calculation? Note that this will change the meaning of the number of mapped pages reported in /proc/vmstat /proc/meminfo and in the per node statistics. This may affect user space tools that monitor these counters! NR_FILE_MAPPED works like NR_FILE_DIRTY. It is only valid for pagecache pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently a single atomic variable is used to establish the size of the page cache in the whole machine. The zoned VM counters have the same method of implementation as the nr_pagecache code but also allow the determination of the pagecache size per zone. Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter named NR_FILE_PAGES. Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off. We can therefore use the __ variant here.

* | [PATCH] zoned vm counters: convert nr_mapped to per zone counterChristoph Lameter2006-06-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining when we need to reclaim memory in a zone. We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off from NR_MAPPED in the next patch). We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations. This avoids the looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap + zone reclaim).

* [PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node structKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2006-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI. I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add. In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(), which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be there. This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu until node is onlined. This removes node arguments from register_cpu(). Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not necessary now. This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this. Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it. Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

* [PATCH] Driver model: add ISA busRene Herman2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the recent "isa drivers using platform devices" discussion it was pointed out that (ALSA) ISA drivers ran into the problem of not having the option to fail driver load (device registration rather) upon not finding their hardware due to a probe() error not being passed up through the driver model. In the course of that, I suggested a seperate ISA bus might be best; Russell King agreed and suggested this bus could use the .match() method for the actual device discovery. The attached does this. For this old non (generically) discoverable ISA hardware only the driver itself can do discovery so as a difference with the platform_bus, this isa_bus also distributes match() up to the driver. As another difference: these devices only exist in the driver model due to the driver creating them because it might want to drive them, meaning that all device creation has been made internal as well. The usage model this provides is nice, and has been acked from the ALSA side by Takashi Iwai and Jaroslav Kysela. The ALSA driver module_init's now (for oldisa-only drivers) become: static int __init alsa_card_foo_init(void) { return isa_register_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver, SNDRV_CARDS); } static void __exit alsa_card_foo_exit(void) { isa_unregister_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver); } Quite like the other bus models therefore. This removes a lot of duplicated init code from the ALSA ISA drivers. The passed in isa_driver struct is the regular driver struct embedding a struct device_driver, the normal probe/remove/shutdown/suspend/resume callbacks, and as indicated that .match callback. The "SNDRV_CARDS" you see being passed in is a "unsigned int ndev" parameter, indicating how many devices to create and call our methods with. The platform_driver callbacks are called with a platform_device param; the isa_driver callbacks are being called with a "struct device *dev, unsigned int id" pair directly -- with the device creation completely internal to the bus it's much cleaner to not leak isa_dev's by passing them in at all. The id is the only thing we ever want other then the struct device * anyways, and it makes for nicer code in the callbacks as well. With this additional .match() callback ISA drivers have all options. If ALSA would want to keep the old non-load behaviour, it could stick all of the old .probe in .match, which would only keep them registered after everything was found to be present and accounted for. If it wanted the behaviour of always loading as it inadvertently did for a bit after the changeover to platform devices, it could just not provide a .match() and do everything in .probe() as before. If it, as Takashi Iwai already suggested earlier as a way of following the model from saner buses more closely, wants to load when a later bind could conceivably succeed, it could use .match() for the prerequisites (such as checking the user wants the card enabled and that port/irq/dma values have been passed in) and .probe() for everything else. This is the nicest model. To the code... This exports only two functions; isa_{,un}register_driver(). isa_register_driver() register's the struct device_driver, and then loops over the passed in ndev creating devices and registering them. This causes the bus match method to be called for them, which is: int isa_bus_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *driver) { struct isa_driver *isa_driver = to_isa_driver(driver); if (dev->platform_data == isa_driver) { if (!isa_driver->match || isa_driver->match(dev, to_isa_dev(dev)->id)) return 1; dev->platform_data = NULL; } return 0; } The first thing this does is check if this device is in fact one of this driver's devices by seeing if the device's platform_data pointer is set to this driver. Platform devices compare strings, but we don't need to do that with everything being internal, so isa_register_driver() abuses dev->platform_data as a isa_driver pointer which we can then check here. I believe platform_data is available for this, but if rather not, moving the isa_driver pointer to the private struct isa_dev is ofcourse fine as well. Then, if the the driver did not provide a .match, it matches. If it did, the driver match() method is called to determine a match. If it did _not_ match, dev->platform_data is reset to indicate this to isa_register_driver which can then unregister the device again. If during all this, there's any error, or no devices matched at all everything is backed out again and the error, or -ENODEV, is returned. isa_unregister_driver() just unregisters the matched devices and the driver itself. More global points/questions... - I'm introducing include/linux/isa.h. It was available but is ofcourse a somewhat generic name. Moving more isa stuff over to it in time is ofcourse fine, so can I have it please? :) - I'm using device_initcall() and added the isa.o (dependent on CONFIG_ISA) after the base driver model things in the Makefile. Will this do, or I really need to stick it in drivers/base/init.c, inside #ifdef CONFIG_ISA? It's working fine. Lastly -- I also looked, a bit, into integrating with PnP. "Old ISA" could be another pnp_protocol, but this does not seem to be a good match, largely due to the same reason platform_devices weren't -- the devices do not have a life of their own outside the driver, meaning the pnp_protocol {get,set}_resources callbacks would need to callback into driver -- which again means you first need to _have_ that driver. Even if there's clean way around that, you only end up inventing fake but valid-form PnP IDs and generally catering to the PnP layer without any practical advantages over this very simple isa_bus. The thing I also suggested earlier about the user echoing values into /sys to set up the hardware from userspace first is... well, cute, but a horrible idea from a user standpoint. Comments ofcourse appreciated. Hope it's okay. As said, the usage model is nice at least. Signed-off-by: Rene Herman <rene.herman@keyaccess.nl>

| | | | | | | | | | | Like the SUBSYTEM= key we find in the environment of the uevent, this creates a generic "subsystem" link in sysfs for every device. Userspace usually doesn't care at all if its a "class" or a "bus" device. This provides an unified way to determine the subsytem of a device, regardless of the way the driver core has created it.

* [PATCH] Driver core: allow struct device to have a dev_tGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | This is the first step in moving class_device to being replaced by struct device. It allows struct device to export a dev_t and makes it easy to dynamically create and destroy struct device as long as they are associated with a specific class.

* [PATCH] Driver core: PM_DEBUG device suspend() messages become informativeDavid Brownell2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the driver model PM suspend debug messages more useful, by (a) explaining what event is being sent, since not all suspend() requests mean the same thing; (b) reporting when a PM_EVENT_SUSPEND call is allowing the device to issue wakeup events.

| | | | | | | | | | platform_device_add() should be using device_add() rather than device_register() - any platform device passed to platform_device_add() should have already been initialised, either by platform_device_alloc() or platform_device_register().

It broke APM suspend, probably because APM doesn't switch back to a VT when suspending. Tracked down by Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Rafael sayeth: "It only fixed the theoretical issue that a quick-handed user could switch to X after processes have been frozen and before the devices are suspended. With the current userland suspend tools it shouldn't be necessary." Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: "Rafael J.

* [CLASS DEVICE]: add attribute_group creationStephen Hemminger2006-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example).

* [PATCH] driver core: driver_bind attribute returns incorrect valueRyan Wilson2006-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device. driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string. A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1 and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that change. Signed-off-by: Ryan Wilson <hap9@epoch.ncsc.mil> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
