2005-06-20[PATCH] Driver Core: driver model doc updateDavid Brownell
This updates some driver data documentation: - removes references to some fields that haven't been there for a long time now, e.g. pre-kobject or even older; - giving more information about the probe() method; - adding an example of how platform_data is used Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git This is a fixed-up version of the broken "upstream-2.6.13" branch, where I re-did the manual merge of drivers/net/r8169.c by hand, and made sure the history is all good.

This adds a clause that notes explicitly that the person doing the sign-off knows that the project (and his sign-off) is public and will possibly get archived and re-distributed.

2005-05-20[PATCH] x86_64: Add option to disable timer checkAndi Kleen
This works around the too fast timer seen on some ATI boards. I don't feel confident enough about it yet to enable it by default, but give users the option.

2005-05-20[PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt brokenPaul Jackson
This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

2005-05-17[PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.
