| * [PATCH] Modularize generic HDLCKrzysztof Halasa2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables building of individual WAN protocol support routines (parts of generic HDLC) as separate modules. All protocol-private definitions are moved from hdlc.h file to protocol drivers. User-space interface and interface between generic HDLC and underlying low-level HDLC drivers are unchanged.

| * | | [PATCH] bonding: Validate probe replies in ARP monitorJay Vosburgh2006-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add logic to check ARP request / reply packets used for ARP monitor link integrity checking. 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.

* | | | usbcore: add autosuspend/autoresume infrastructureAlan Stern2006-09-27

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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as778) adds a field to struct usb_device to store the device's level in the USB tree. In itself this number isn't really important. But the overhead is very low, and in a later patch it will be used for preventing bogus warnings from the lockdep checker.

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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as770b) introduces a new field to usb_bus: a flag indicating whether or not the host controller uses DMA.

* | | | USB: remove struct usb_operationsAlan Stern2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD bus-glue framework. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's generally a bad idea for USB interface drivers to try to change a device's configuration, and usbcore doesn't provide any way for them to do it.

It allows us to appear as a MIDI Streaming device to a host system on the other end of a USB cable. 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.

* | | | usbcore: track whether interfaces are suspendedAlan Stern2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking whether intf is suspended. 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.

Support routines like usb_register_device_driver, usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device are also added. 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. This enables the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs to a device driver or to an interface driver.

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.

* | | | [PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes supportMichael Tokarev2006-09-27

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>

(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 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.

* | | | [PATCH] own header file for struct pageHeiko Carstens2006-09-27

This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on s390: #define SetPageUptodate(_page) do { struct page *__page = (_page); if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags)) page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page); } while (0) _page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs. Using __page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well. In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions. Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate header file for the struct page definition.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the LRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates). But we don't actually have a clear way of showing how true this is. So add `nr_vmscan_write' to /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo - the number of pages which have been written by the vm scanner in this zone and globally.

However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add. This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to at *least* the requested boundary.

* | | | [PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memoryMel Gorman2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

Architectures are expected to register active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.
