2009-12-23Staging: comedi: jr3_pci: Don't ioremap too much space. Check result.Ian Abbott
For the JR3/PCI cards, the size of the PCIBAR0 region depends on the number of channels. Don't try and ioremap space for 4 channels if the card has fewer channels. Also check for ioremap failure.

2009-12-23Staging: comedi: removed "depricated" from COMEDI_CB_BLOCKBernd Porr
The flag COMEDI_CB_BLOCK was marked as "depricated in the header file". However, this flag is important to wake up the data-reader (and writer) after new data has arrived from(for) the DAQ card. Signed-off-by: Bernd Porr <berndporr@f2s.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-12-23Staging: comedi: usbdux.c: fix locking up of the driver when the comedi ↵Bernd Porr
ringbuffer runs empty Jan-Matthias Braun spotted a bug which locks up the driver when the comedi ring buffer runs empty and provided a patch. The driver would still send the data to comedi but the reader won't wake up any more. What's required is setting the flag COMEDI_CB_BLOCK after new data has arrived which wakes up the reader and therefore the read() command.

Yeeloong netbook has a sm712 video card, need this driver, but it is not ready to upstream yet, so, go to drivers/staing at first. This source code is originally from Silicon Motion Technology Corp, and maintained at http://dev.lemote.com/code/linux_loongson for YeeLoong netbook. I have done a lot of cleanups for it and merged it into my git repository at http://dev.lemote.com/code/rt4ls. Thanks to Simon for testing it on a little-endian x86 platform. Thanks to Olivier Croset <olivier.croset@actis-computer.com> for reporting the problem about __BIG_ENDIAN compiling problem and send a relative patch.

2009-12-22kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.
