* [PATCH] ibmasm driver: fix race in command refcount logicMax Asbock2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a race in the command reference counting logic by putting spinlocks around kobject_put() in the command_put function. - Also added debug messages. - Changed a memcpy to memcpy_fromio since we are reading from io space.

* [PATCH] ibmasm driver: redesign handling of remote control eventsMax Asbock2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch rewrites the handling of remote control events. Rather than making them available from a special file in the ibmasmfs, now the events from the RSA card get translated into kernel input events and injected into the input subsystem. The driver now will generate two /dev/input/eventX nodes -- one for the keyboard and one for the mouse. The mouse node generates absolute events more like a touch pad than a mouse.

* [PATCH] ibmasm driver: correctly wake up sleeping threadsMax Asbock2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | Due to my incomplete understanding of the wait_event_interruptible() function threads waiting for service processor events were not woken up. This patch fixes that problem.

* [PATCH] ibmasm driver: fix command buffer sizeMax Asbock2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First of a series of patches for the ibmasm driver. (that is the driver for the IBM xSeries RSA service processor) To summarize what they do: [1] change a #define for the buffer size for commands [2] Fix a bug where threads in the event handling code calling wait_event_interruptible() weren't woken up as expected. [3] Redesigned how remote mouse and keyboard events received by the driver are handled. [4] Fixed a race in the command reference counting logic.

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!
