| * [MMC] MMC_CAP_BYTEBLOCK flag for non-log2 block sizes capable hostsRussell King2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some MMC hosts can only handle log2 block sizes. Unfortunately, the MMC password support needs to be able to send non-log2 block sizes. Provide a capability so that the MMC password support can decide whether it should use this support or not. The unfortunate side effect of this host limitation is that any MMC card protected by a password which is not a log2 block size can not be accessed on a host which only allows a log2 block size. This change just adds the flag. The MMC password support code needs updating to use it (if and when it is finally submitted.) Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a capability flag for drivers to set when they can perform multi- block transfers to cards _and_ correctly report the number of bytes transferred should an error occur. The last point is very important - if a driver reports more bytes than were actually accepted by the card and an error occurs, there is the possibility for data loss.

The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic. For example, if multiple hosts running bonding are behind a common switch, the probe traffic from the multiple instances of bonding will update the tx/rx times on each other's slave devices.

The main features are: PM usage counters added to struct usb_device and struct usb_interface, indicating whether it's okay to autosuspend them or they are currently in use. Flag added to usb_device indicating whether the current suspend/resume operation originated from outside or as an autosuspend/autoresume. Flag added to usb_driver indicating whether the driver supports autosuspend. If not, no device bound to the driver will be autosuspended. Mutex added to usb_device for protecting PM operations. Unlike the device semaphore, the locking rule for the pm_mutex is that you must acquire the locks going _up_ the device tree. New routines handling autosuspend/autoresume requests for interfaces and devices. Suspend and resume requests are propagated up the device tree (but not outside the USB subsystem). work_struct added to usb_device, for carrying out delayed autosuspend requests. Autoresume added (and autosuspend prevented) during probe and disconnect. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* | | | | usbcore: trim down usb_bus structureAlan Stern2006-09-27

Along with those changes, the patch gets rid of usb_bus_get and usb_bus_put, replacing them with usb_get_hcd and usb_put_hcd. The one interesting aspect is that the dev_set_drvdata call was removed from usb_put_hcd, where it clearly doesn't belong. This means the driver private data won't get reset to NULL. It shouldn't cause any problems, since the private data is undefined when no driver is bound. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

As part of the program for flattening out the glue layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure. All function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed to remain within the "usb_" namespace). The patch also removes usb_alloc_bus(), because it's not useful in the HCD framework and it wasn't referenced anywhere.

This includes linux/usb/audio.h and linux/usb/midi.h containing definitions from the relevant USB specifications for USB audio and USB MIDI devices. The following changes have been made since the first RFC posting: * Bug fixes to endpoint handling. * Workaround for USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION handling, not understood yet. * Added SND and SND_RAWMIDI dependencies in Kconfig. * Moved usb_audio.h and usb_midi.h to usb/*.h * Added module parameters for ALSA card index and id. * Added module parameters for USB descriptor IDs and strings. * Removed some unneeded stuff inherited from zero.c, more to go. * Provide DECLARE_* macros for the variable-length structs. * Use kmalloc instead of usb_ep_alloc_buffer. * Limit source to 80 columns. * Return actual error code instead of -ENOMEM in a few places.

This is not a reliable technique because that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore. This patch (as718b) adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are suspended and which aren't. At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces will be suspended along with their devices. It turns out there are a couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as while processing a remote-wakeup request.

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper.

The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner. Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being in cache. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC): eisa:sTCM5093 and the in-module alias like: eisa:sTCM5093* The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated. There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those maps are obsolete anyway. The rationale for this patch is: a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias support, to unify driver loading b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

(It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

This option can be used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset during initialization. This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.

This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which are not backed by real memory. This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data corruption on some architectures, such as ia64). This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than expect all negative pfn values would be an error. It also bugs on cow mappings as this would not work with the VM.
