2009-01-09Revert "driver core: create a private portion of struct device"Greg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit 2831fe6f9cc4e16c103504ee09a47a084297c0f3. Turns out that device_initialize shouldn't fail silently. This series needs to be reworked in order to get into proper shape.

2009-01-09x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirksAndi Kleen
We found a situation on Linus' machine that the Nvidia timer quirk hit on a Intel chipset system. The problem is that the system has a fancy Nvidia card with an own PCI bridge, and the early-quirks code looking for any NVidia bridge triggered on it incorrectly. This didn't lead a boot failure by luck, but the timer routing code selecting the wrong timer first and some ugly messages. It might lead to real problems on other systems. I checked all the devices which are currently checked for by early_quirks and it turns out they are all located in the root bus zero. So change the early-quirks loop to only scan bus 0. This incidently also saves quite some unnecessary scanning work, because early_quirks doesn't go through all the non root busses. The graphics card is not on bus 0, so it is not matched anymore.

2009-01-09block: fix bug in ptbl lookup cacheNeil Brown
Neil writes: Hi Jens, I've found a little bug for you. It was introduced by a6f23657d3072bde6844055bbc2290e497f33fbc block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble an md array :-( One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it can cause confusion). The next IO to that device locks the machine. I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in disk_map_sector_rcu(). This patch fixes it. Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup data. So clear that when we delete a partition. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-01-09Btrfs: explicitly mark the tree log root for writebackChris Mason
Each subvolume has an extent_state_tree used to mark metadata that needs to be sent to disk while syncing the tree. This is used in addition to the dirty bits on the pages themselves so that a single subvolume can be sent to disk efficiently in disk order. Normally this marking happens in btrfs_alloc_free_block, which also does special recording of dirty tree blocks for the tree log roots. Yan Zheng noticed that when the root of the log tree is allocated, it is added to the wrong writeback list. The fix used here is to explicitly set it dirty as part of tree log creation.

2009-01-09fujitsu-laptop: Simplify SBLL/SBL2 backlight handlingTony Vroon
GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the BLNF check has disappeared. As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.

2009-01-09fujitsu-laptop: Add BL power, LED control and radio state informationTony Vroon
The FUNC interface in the Fujitsu-Siemens DSDT was unused until now. It exposes state information that is now reported in additional platform files (whether the radios are killed by the hardware switch or operational, whether the machine is docked and whether the lid is open). Support for the backlight class is now extended with the ability to power the backlight on & off. Optional support for the LED class allows the keyboard headlamps found on the U810 netbook and the Fujitsu logo illumination on the P8010 notebook to be turned on & off. This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, P8010 & U810 platforms.
