* fbdev: fix info->lock deadlock in fbcon_event_notify()Andrea Righi2009-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fb_notifier_call_chain() is called with info->lock held, i.e. in do_fb_ioctl() => FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO => fb_set_var() and the some notifier callbacks, like fbcon_event_notify(), try to re-acquire info->lock again. Remove the lock/unlock_fb_info() in all the framebuffer notifier callbacks' and be sure to always call fb_notifier_call_chain() with info->lock held.

* fbmem: fix fb_info->lock and mm->mmap_sem circular locking dependencyAndrea Righi2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a circular locking dependency in the frame buffer console driver pushing down the mutex fb_info->lock. Circular locking dependecies occur calling the blocking fb_notifier_call_chain() with fb_info->lock held. Notifier callbacks can try to acquire mm->mmap_sem, while fb_mmap() acquires the locks in the reverse order mm->mmap_sem => fb_info->lock.

* lcd: fix oops if driver only interested in .set_powerBen Dooks2008-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The LCD driver core calls LCD drivers when either the blanking state or the display mode has changed, but does not make any check to see if the called driver has a .set_mode method. This means if a driver only has a .set_power method then the system will OOPS on changing mode (and with the console semaphore held so you cannot easily see the problem). Fix the problem by ensuring that either callback is valid before use.

* lcd: allow lcd device to handle mode change eventsEric Miao2008-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | Some LCD panels are capable of different resolutions, and is allowed to change at run-time, so to make "struct lcd_device" to be able to handle mode change events here.

* lcd: add lcd_device to check_fb() entry in lcd_opsBen Dooks2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Add the lcd_device being checked to the check_fb entry of lcd_ops. This ensures that any driver using this to check against it's own state can do so, and also makes all the calls in lcd_ops more orthogonal in their arguments.

* backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct deviceRichard Purdie2007-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal. One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see a way around this. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

* backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointersRichard Purdie2007-02-20
| | | | | | | | | Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and allows simplifcation of some code. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

* backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie2007-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3 #defines are unused in most of the touched files. A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is unfortunatly in linux/version.h. There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used. quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'` search pattern: /UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
