2006-12-07[PATCH] Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync()Ralf Baechle
Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync() dma_cache_sync() is ill-designed in that it does not have a struct device pointer argument which makes proper support for systems that consist of a mix of coherent and non-coherent DMA devices hard. Change dma_cache_sync to take a struct device pointer as first argument and fix all its callers to pass it.

2006-12-07[PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpusDerek Fults
This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed to command line helper function, get_options. Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a list of cpus. Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number> Valid values of <cpu_number> include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the command line format for 'isolcpus=' Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number> or <cpu number>-<cpu number> (must be a positive range in ascending order.) or a mixture <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number> Signed-off-by: Derek Fults <dfults@sgi.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystemsMiklos Szeredi
I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

2006-12-07ACPI: ibm-acpi: implement fan watchdog commandHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
This patch implements a fan control safety watchdog, by request of the authors of userspace fan control scripts. When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable" command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself. This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace problems. Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely, anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead. The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero disables the watchdog.

The patch also updates the documentation, explaining levels auto and disengaged. ABI changes: 1. Support level 0 as an equivalent to disable 2. Add support for level auto and level disengaged when doing EC 0x2f fan control 3. Support enable/disable for all level-based write access modes 4.

2006-12-07ACPI: ibm-acpi: Implement direct-ec-access thermal reading modes for up to ↵Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
16 sensors This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly through ACPI EC register access. It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward- compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7. Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature. The code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss. Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors. A documentation update is also provided. The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist. Futher information was gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in recent ThinkPads. DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second range of sensors.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer checkZachary Amsden
Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option. The VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires 100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs have not yet been delivered. In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs. While here, make check_timer be __init.

2006-12-02[DCCP]: Add sysctls to control retransmission behaviourGerrit Renker
This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation). It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code. The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values. This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet. Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries (also a bit like in TCP). Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2006-12-02[DCCP]: Support for partial checksums (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2)Gerrit Renker

(3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it). (4) fixes an outstanding TODO item: * If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return. The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion control choices. The default is reno and what ever has been configured as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time. For example, to allow any choice: cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-12-02[PATCH] PHY: Add support for configuring the PHY connection interfaceAndy Fleming
Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII interface. However, a growing number are connected over different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII. The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect (or phy_attach). Changes include: * Updates to documentation * Updates to PHY Lib consumers * Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support * Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h * gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate value to PHY Lib Signed-off-by: Andrew Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
