2008-08-21[S390] drivers/s390: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL testJulien Brunel
In case of error, functions dasd_kmalloc_request and idal_buffer_alloc return an ERR pointer, but never return the NULL pointer. So after a call to one of these functions, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @correct_null_test@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = ( dasd_kmalloc_request(...) | idal_buffer_alloc(...) ) <... when != x = E if ( ( - x@p2 != NULL + ! IS_ERR ( x ) | - x@p2 == NULL + IS_ERR( x ) ) ) S1 else S2 ...> ? x = E; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-08-21USB: automatically enable RHSC interruptsAlan Stern
This patch (as1069c) changes the way OHCI root-hub status-change interrupts are enabled. Currently a special HCD method, hub_irq_enable(), is called when the hub driver is finished using a root hub. This approach turns out to be subject to races, resulting in unnecessary polling. The patch does away with the method entirely. Instead, the driver automatically enables the RHSC interrupt when no more status changes are present. This scheme is safe with controllers using level-triggered semantics for their interrupt flags.

2008-08-21USB: Don't rebind before "complete" callbackAlan Stern
This patch (as1130) fixes an incompatibility between the new PM infrastructure and USB power management. We are not allowed to call drivers' probe routines during a system sleep transition between the "prepare" and "complete" callbacks, but that's exactly what we do when a driver doesn't have full suspend/resume support. Such drivers are unbound during the "suspend" call and reprobed during the "resume" call. The patch causes the reprobe step to be skipped if the "complete" callback hasn't been issued yet, i.e., if the interface's dev.power.status field is not equal to DPM_ON. Thus during the "resume" callback nothing bad will happen, and during the final "complete" callback the reprobing will occur as desired. This fixes the problem reported in Bugzilla #11263.

2008-08-21USB: Add new PM callback methods for USBAlan Stern
This patch (as1129) adds support for the new PM callbacks to usbcore. The new callbacks merely invoke the same old USB power management routines as the old ones did. A minor improvement is that the callbacks are present only in the "USB-device" device_type structure, rather than in the bus_type structure. This way they will be invoked only for USB devices, not for USB interfaces. The core USB PM routines automatically handle suspending and resuming interfaces along with their devices.

2008-08-21USB: Defer Set-Interface for suspended devicesAlan Stern
This patch (as1128) fixes one of the problems related to the new PM infrastructure. We are not allowed to register new child devices during the middle of a system sleep transition, but unbinding a USB driver causes the core to automatically install altsetting 0 and thereby create new endpoint pseudo-devices. The patch fixes this problem (and the related problem that installing altsetting 0 will fail if the device is suspended) by deferring the Set-Interface call until some later time when it is legal and can succeed. Possible later times are: when a new driver is being probed for the interface, and when the interface is being resumed.

2008-08-21USB: Add udev argument to interface suspend/resume functionsAlan Stern
This patch (as1127) makes a minor change to the prototypes of the usb_suspend_interface() and usb_resume_interface() routines. Now the usb_device structure is passed as an argument, instead of being computed on-the-fly from the usb_interface argument. It makes the code look simpler, even if it really isn't much different from before. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-08-21MUSB: Fix index register corruption seen with g_ether and Windows hostAnand Gadiyar
If Indexed Mode register accesses are enabled, the ep0_rxstate() function calls musb_g_ep0_giveback() before writing to the CSR register. When control returns to this ep0_rxstate, the index register contents are over-written. This causes the CSR register write to fail. Fixed by writing the correct value into the index register before writing to the CSR. This was observed only in ep0_rxstate() with g_ether loaded and the device connected to a MS Windows host PC.

2008-08-21UIO: generic irq handling for some uio platform devicesMagnus Damm
This is V3 of uio_pdrv_genirq.c, a platform driver for UIO with generic IRQ handling code. This driver is very similar to the regular UIO platform driver, but is only suitable for devices that are connected to the interrupt controller using unique interrupt lines. The uio_pdrv_genirq driver includes generic interrupt handling code which disables the serviced interrupt in the interrupt controller and makes the user space driver responsible for acknowledging the interrupt in the device and reenabling the interrupt in the interrupt controller. Shared interrupts are not supported since the in-kernel interrupt handler will disable the interrupt line in the interrupt controller, and in a shared interrupt configuration this will stop other devices from delivering interrupts.

The patch separates out the call to dpm_sysfs_add() from the call to device_pm_add(). As a result device_pm_add() can no longer return an error, so its return type is changed to void.

2008-08-20fbdefio: add set_page_dirty handler to deferred IO FBIan Campbell
Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473. Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was removed with: commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1 Author: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Date: Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700 tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem. v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise races per AKPM's concerns.

2008-08-20rtc: rtc-ds1374: fix 'no irq' case handlingAnton Vorontsov
On a PowerPC board with ds1374 RTC I'm getting this error while RTC tries to probe: rtc-ds1374 0-0068: unable to request IRQ This happens because I2C probing code (drivers/of/of_i2c.c) is specifying IRQ0 for 'no irq' case, which is correct. The driver handles this incorrectly, though. This patch fixes it.
