* [PATCH] node local per-cpu-pagesChristoph Lameter2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed. Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is not local to that zone. So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be done with information available locally. We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

* [PATCH] driver core: Fix races in driver_detach()Alan Stern2005-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is intended for your "driver" tree. It fixes several subtle races in driver_detach() and device_release_driver() in the driver-model core. The major change is to use klist_remove() rather than klist_del() when taking a device off its driver's list. There's no other way to guarantee that the list pointers will be updated before some other driver binds to the device. For this to work driver_detach() can't use a klist iterator, so the loop over the devices must be written out in full. In addition the patch protects against the possibility that, when a driver and a device are unregistered at the same time, one may be unloaded from memory before the other is finished using it.

* [PATCH] Driver Core: fix bk-driver-core kills ppc64Patrick Mochel2005-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which could do bad things. The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match a driver with a device already bound to one. In some cases (it appears with USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID devices) to match a device that is already bound. The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then driver_probe_device() does this: dev->driver = NULL; Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause hell to break loose. This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others. Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash. You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different places. The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against 2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following: - Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns: 1 - If device is bound 0 - If device not bound, and no error error - If there was an error. - Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time). - Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking. - Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach() - Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device around all of the operations. - Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as necessary. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

* [PATCH] drivers/base/bus.c: fix iteration in driver_detach()Roman Kagan2005-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With 2.6.11 and 2.6.12-rc2 (and perhaps a few versions before) usb drivers for multi-interface devices, which do usb_driver_release_interface() in their disconnect(), make rmmod hang. It turns out to be due to a bug in drivers/base/bus.c:driver_detach(), that iterates over the list of attached devices with list_for_each_safe() under an assumption that device_release_driver() only releases the current device, while it may also call device_release_driver() for other devices on the same list.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
