2006-01-10[PATCH] kdump: export per cpu crash notes pointer through sysfsVivek Goyal
- Kexec on panic functionality allocates memory for saving cpu registers in case of system crash event. Address of this allocated memory needs to be exported to user space, which is used by kexec-tools. - Previously, a single /sys/kernel/crash_notes entry was being exported as memory allocated was a single continuous array. Now memory allocation being dyanmic and per cpu based, address of per cpu buffer is exported through "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes" Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-04[PATCH] Allow overlapping resources for platform devicesKumar Gala
There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap with another device's memory mapped registers. On several PowerPC devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap with one of the ethernet controllers. By switching from request_resource to insert_resource we can register the MDIO bus as a proper platform device and not hack around how we handle its memory mapped registers.

2006-01-04[PATCH] Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and removeAlan Stern
This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove methods in a driver. This facility is needed by USB device drivers, owing to the peculiar way USB devices work: A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound to interfaces rather than to devices; Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces. Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child) prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock. The solution provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices (not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired. Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large. Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private semaphores. A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the device semaphores provided by the driver core. The code paths affected by this patch are: device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent lock, so no actual change is needed. driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing. driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will now lock both the parent and the device before binding or unbinding. bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent before probing a device. I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems. As far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote. Nevertheless, it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Manual #include fixups for clashes - there may be some unnecessary
2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-10-30[PATCH] introduce get_cpu_sysdev() to retrieve a sysfs entry for a cpu.Ashok Raj
Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu. sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes.

2005-10-28[PATCH] root hub changes (lesser half)David Brownell
This patch collects various small updates related to root hubs, to shrink later patches which build on them. - For root hub suspend/resume support: * Make the existing usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() routine respect pmcore locking, exporting and using the dpm_runtime_resume() method. * Add a new usb_hcd_suspend_root_hub() to pair with that routine. (Essential to make OHCI autosuspend behave again...) * HC_SUSPENDED by itself only refers to the root hub's downstream ports. So let HCDs see root hub URBs unless the parent device is suspended. - Remove an assertion we no longer need (and now, also don't want). - Generic suspend/resume updates to work better with swsusp. * Ignore the FREEZE vs SUSPEND distinction for hardware; trying to use it breaks the swsusp snapshots it's supposed to help (sigh). * On resume, mark devices as resumed right away, but then do nothing else if the device is marked NOTATTACHED. These changes shouldn't be very noticable by themselves.

2005-10-28[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacksRussell King
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

2005-10-28[PATCH] drivers/base - fix sparse warningsBen Dooks
There are a number of sparse warnings from the latest sparse snapshot being generated from the drivers/base build. The main culprits are due to the initialisation functions not being declared in a header file. Also, the firmware.c file should include <linux/device.h> to get the prototype of firmware_register() and firmware_unregister(). This patch moves the init function declerations from the init.c file to the base.h, and ensures it is included in all the relevant c sources. It also adds <linux/device.h> to the included headers for firmware.c.

2005-10-28[PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nestedGreg Kroah-Hartman
This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only having the struct class be the parent. This will allow us to (hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess. But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work (remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class device being added to the system.)

2005-09-22[PATCH] Driver Core: fis bus rescan devices raceDaniel Ritz
bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for !dev->driver(). device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set. What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time) is on the way binding the device to a driver. Another thread calls bus_rescan_devices(). Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet finished. But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again. device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the device). Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver. Rmmoding the driver later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list head in klist_devices still points to the device. And since dev->driver is NULL it's stuck with the same device forever. Boom. And rmmod hangs. Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card. Just loop modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia modules>. Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in device_bind_driver(). This avoids the double binding.

2005-09-07[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversalJames Bottomley
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers to the prior element to get the next. The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until the list relinquishes the reference to it.

2005-09-05[PATCH] klist: fix klist to have the same klist_add semantics as list_headJames Bottomley
at the moment, the list_head semantics are list_add(node, head) whereas current klist semantics are klist_add(head, node) This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it should follow the list_head semantics. I also added missing include guards to klist.h Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
