| * [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernelAlan Stern2005-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA: This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't been used for anything other than printing warning messages." An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so quickly." Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial" subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked. "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag is removed." Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

| * [PATCH] USB: isp116x-hcd: remove clock() and reset()Olav Kongas2005-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes support for user-provided platform-specific hardware reset and clock starting/stopping functions. Hardware reset was needed earlier as getting the software reset working was tricky due to the lack of documentation. Recently, a number of people using isp116x have said the software reset is working for them. I haven't heard of anybody using the clock starting/stopping.

This patch adds a function to the PCI core that traverses all the PCI devices on a PCI bus and under any PCI-PCI bridges on that bus (and so on), calling a given function for each device. This provides a way for the error recovery code to iterate through all devices that are affected by an error event. This version is not implemented as a recursive function. Instead, when we reach a PCI-PCI bridge, we set the pointers to start doing the devices on the bus under the bridge, and when we reach the end of a bus's devices, we use the bus->self pointer to go back up to the next higher bus and continue doing its devices.

| * | | [PATCH] PCI: restore BAR values after D3hot->D0 for devices that need itJohn W. Linville2005-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration (including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0. This leaves such a device in an inaccessible state. The patch below causes the BARs to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will be able to access it. The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that. Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a (re)boot. Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition will be inaccessible to their drivers. Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would be difficult to know which drivers need modification. This is especially true since often many devices are covered by the same driver. It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens of drivers. The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0 (or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit cleared in the PM control register. I believe it is safe to include this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure. The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call pci_update_resource. Unfortunately, that does not currently exist for the sparc64 architecture. The patch below includes a null implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64. Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed modules. Signed-off-by: John W.

The failure case is when traversal of a list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers to the prior element to get the next. The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until the list relinquishes the reference to it.

To do that, I've made this class a transport class that's entirely subsystem independent (although the matching routines have to match per subsystem, as you'll see looking at the code). I put it in the scsi subdirectory purely because I needed somewhere to play with it, but it's not a scsi specific module. I used a fusion raid card as the test bed for this; with that kind of card, this is the type of class output you get: jejb@titanic> ls -l /sys/class/raid_devices/20\:0\:0\:0/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 component-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:0/20:1:0:0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 component-1 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:1/20:1:1:0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:0:0/20:0:0:0/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 level -r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 resync -r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 state So it's really simple: for a SCSI device representing a hardware raid, it shows the raid level, the array state, the resync % complete (if the state is resyncing) and the underlying components of the RAID (these are exposed in fusion on the virtual channel 1). As you can see, this type of information can be exported by almost anything, including software raid. The more difficult trick, of course, is going to be getting it to perform configuration type actions with writable attributes. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

All requests having bios should allow scsi to use scatter lists for all IO and allow it to use block layer functions. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

It was supposed to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small. The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take advantage ot it ? It includes : o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback. o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at peace with it. o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it was not even painful. o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's now gone for good. o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11 stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-) All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on my web pages for a while... Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective maintainers. Have fun...

It is integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades. The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it won't compile on platforms other than ppc64. This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.
