* [PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanismAbhay Salunke2005-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the user app dump every individual packet in to the driver. This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear again. Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump another packet. This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of large number of packets. I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will change the way we do packet updates; In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file. This driver also creates a new entry in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet size here before downloading the packet file. The user should do the following: create one single file which has all the packets stacked together. echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size. echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory. This makes packet update process very efficient and fast. As all the packet update happens in one single operation. The user can still read back the downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

* [PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completionHarald Welte2005-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid afterwards. In fact, there are three separate issues: 1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device. 2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct, task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile. 3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed, and we can no longer send it a signal. So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

* | [PATCH] ide: Workaround PM problemBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic in ide_do_request() doesn't guarantee that both drives will be serviced after a call. It may "forget" to service one in some circumstances, including when one of the drive is suspended (it will eventually fail to service the slave when the master is suspended for example). This prevents the wakeup requests that gets queued on wakeup from sleep from beeing serviced in some cases when 2 drives are sharing an IDE bus. The problem is deep enough in the way this code works (and there are probably a few other problematic but rare corner cases) and fixing it would require some major rethinking of the way IDE decides which channel to service. This is not 2.6.14 material. However, in the meantime, Bart has accepted this simple workaround that will fix the crash on wakeup from sleep since this specific corner case is actually hitting users to get into 2.6.14.

It turns out that the problem is one of padding (the firmware cksum engine works only on 32-bit chunks, yuck), so the special casing for length == 1 wasn't sufficient anyway. This patch addresses the issue, as well the other issue of i386 + CONFIG_HIGHMEM being broken. It is pretty much the same workaround that Adaptec themselves used in their Windows driver. I have yet to check if it fixes the problem when the skb is non-linear, but this patch _will_ solve the problem for 99% of the users out there (those not using sendfile).
