2007-07-10configfs: config item dependancies.Joel Becker
Sometimes other drivers depend on particular configfs items. For example, ocfs2 mounts depend on a heartbeat region item. If that region item is removed with rmdir(2), the ocfs2 mount must BUG or go readonly. Not happy. This provides two additional API calls: configfs_depend_item() and configfs_undepend_item(). A client driver can call configfs_depend_item() on an existing item to tell configfs that it is depended on. configfs will then return -EBUSY from rmdir(2) for that item. When the item is no longer depended on, the client driver calls configfs_undepend_item() on it. These API cannot be called underneath any configfs callbacks, as they will conflict. They can block and allocate. A client driver probably shouldn't calling them of its own gumption. Rather it should be providing an API that external subsystems call. How does this work? Imagine the ocfs2 mount process. When it mounts, it asks for a heart region item. This is done via a call into the heartbeat code. Inside the heartbeat code, the region item is looked up. Here, the heartbeat code calls configfs_depend_item(). If it succeeds, then heartbeat knows the region is safe to give to ocfs2. If it fails, it was being torn down anyway, and heartbeat can gracefully pass up an error.

2007-07-10configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2)Joel Becker
Add a notification callback, ops->disconnect_notify(). It has the same prototype as ->drop_item(), but it will be called just before the item linkage is broken. This way, configfs users who want to do work while the object is still in the heirarchy have a chance. Client drivers will still need to config_item_put() in their ->drop_item(), if they implement it. They need do nothing in ->disconnect_notify(). They don't have to provide it if they don't care. But someone who wants to be notified before ci_parent is set to NULL can now be notified. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2007-07-10ieee1394: remove old isochronous ABIStefan Richter
Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}" from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006. This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception and transmission. Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no longer useful for isochronous applications. raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

2007-07-09sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing codeIngo Molnar
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

2007-05-31ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groupsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in order to get the attributes more organized. This proved to be a really bad design decision. Maybe if attribute groups were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have been so bad. This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the documentation. These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to maintain. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
