2006-04-11[PATCH] RTC subsystem: VR41XX driverYoichi Yuasa
This patch updates VR4100 series RTC driver. * This driver supports new RTC subsystem. * Simple set time/read time test worked fine. Signed-off-by: Yoichi Yuasa <yoichi_yuasa@tripeaks.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-04-11[PATCH] Wrong out of range check in drivers/char/applicom.cEric Sesterhenn
This fixes coverity bug id #469. The out of range check didnt work as intended, as seen by the printk(), which states that boardno has to be 1 <= boardno <= MAX_BOARD.

2006-04-11[PATCH] ipmi: fix event queue limitCorey Minyard
The event handler mechanism in the IPMI driver had a limit on the number of received events, but the counts were not being updated. Update the counts to impose a limit. This is not a critical fix, as this function (the sending of the events) has to be turned on by the user, anyway. This avoids problems if they forget to turn it back off.

2006-04-11[PATCH] MPBL0010 driver sysfs permissions wide openMark Bellon
The MPBL0010 Telco clock driver (drivers/char/tlclk.c) uses 0222 (anyone can write) permissions on its writable sysfs entries. Alter the permissions to 0220 (owner and group can write). The use case for this driver is to configure the fail over behavior of the clock hardware. That should be done by the more privileged users.

2006-04-11[PATCH] ptmx: fix duplicate idr_removePaul Fulghum
Remove duplicate call to idr_remove() in ptmx_open. Error during open can result in call to release_dev() followed by call to idr_remove(). release_dev already calls idr_remove so the second call can cause a stack dump in idr_remove()->sub_remove() flagging an attempt to release an already released entry. I reproduces this on a machine with a misconfigured X server (attempting to restart multiple times rapidly) getting the same error as the 1st link below. This also seems to be related to: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=110536513426735&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=110596994916785&w=2 The stack dump can occur on close (as well as open) as shown in the 1st instance above, possible from something like: process A - open (index=0), open fail to out1, release_dev calls idr_remove (index 0), down(sem) sleeps process B - open (index=0), open OK (idr allocated) process A - wake and call idr_remove on index 0 ... process B - close, release_dev, stack dump on idr_remove (index=0) because entry already removed Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-04-11[PATCH] make tty_insert_flip_string_flags() a non gpl exportAndrew Morton
We changed the wrong symbol. It's tty_insert_flip_string_flags() which is called from the previously-non-GPL'ed now-inlined tty_insert_flip_char().

2006-03-31[PATCH] pcmcia: use bitfield instead of p_state and stateDominik Brodowski
Instead of the two status values struct pcmcia_device->p_state and state, use descriptive bitfields. Most value-checking in drivers was invalid, as the core now only calls the ->remove() (a.k.a. detach) function in case the attachement _and_ configuration was successful.

2006-03-31[PATCH] pcmcia: add pcmcia_disable_deviceDominik Brodowski

I'm not really certain what the thinking was but the code obviously wanted to walk processes other than just those in it's session, for purposes of do_SAK.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.
