* V4L/DVB (11845): ir-kbd-i2c: Use initialization dataJean Delvare2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | For specific boards, pass initialization data to ir-kbd-i2c instead of modifying the settings after the device is initialized. This is more efficient and easier to read. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
* V4L/DVB (11844): ir-kbd-i2c: Switch to the new-style device binding modelJean Delvare2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let card drivers probe for IR receiver devices and instantiate them if found. Ultimately it would be better if we could stop probing completely, but I suspect this won't be possible for all card types. There's certainly room for cleanups. For example, some drivers are sharing I2C adapter IDs, so they also had to share the list of I2C addresses being probed for an IR receiver. Now that each driver explicitly says which addresses should be probed, maybe some addresses can be dropped from some drivers. Also, the special cases in saa7134-i2c should probably be handled on a per-board basis. This would be more efficient and less risky than always probing extra addresses on all boards. I'll give it a try later. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | In the standard device driver binding model, the name field of struct i2c_client is used to match devices to their drivers, so we must stop using it for internal purposes.

* V4L/DVB (11607): soc-camera: add a free_bus method to struct soc_camera_linkGuennadi Liakhovetski2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently pcm990 camera bus-width management functions request a GPIO and never free it again. With this approach the GPIO extender driver cannot be unloaded once camera drivers have been loaded, also unloading theb i2c-pxa bus driver produces errors, because the GPIO extender driver cannot unregister properly. Another problem is, that if camera drivers are once loaded before the GPIO extender driver, the platform code marks the GPIO unavailable and only a reboot helps to recover. Adding an explicit free_bus method and using it in mt9m001 and mt9v022 drivers fixes these problems.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem. This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed spinlocks to provide atomicity. For each atomic operation, the address of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16 spinlocks. That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock. On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable interrupts around each operation. In fact gcc eliminates the whole atomic64_lock variable as well.

The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level marker at all is two-fold: - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot, but perhaps because it expected a continuation) - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken for a log-level.

In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

| * | | | | | ntp: adjust SHIFT_PLL to improve NTP convergencejohn stultz2009-05-06

SHIFT_PLL, which reduces the stiffness of the freq adjustments, was designed to be inversely linked to HZ, and the reference value of 4 was designed for Unix systems using HZ=100. However Linux's clock steering code mostly independent of HZ. So this patch reduces the SHIFT_PLL value from 4 to 2, which causes NTPd behavior to match kernels prior to 2.6.19, greatly reducing convergence times, and improving close synchronization through environmental thermal changes. The patch also changes some l's to L's in nearby code to avoid misreading 50l as 501.

The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus, if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point. At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically, if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via /proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus the conntrack ID. The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to userspace. During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend. A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag) and invoke `conntrack -F'. For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch. Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation). In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement the same idea that is exposed in this patch. This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation and destroy time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the reliable event delivery that follows to this patch. BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although you can still disable event caching as compilation option.
