2006-12-01Driver core: fix "driver" symlink timingKay Sievers
Create the "driver" link before the child device may be created by the probing logic.

2006-12-01Driver core: add notification of bus eventsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
I finally did as you suggested and added the notifier to the struct bus_type itself. There are still problems to be expected is something attaches to a bus type where the code can hook in different struct device sub-classes (which is imho a big bogosity but I won't even try to argue that case now) but it will solve nicely a number of issues I've had so far. That also means that clients interested in registering for such notifications have to do it before devices are added and after bus types are registered. Fortunately, most bus types that matter for the various usage scenarios I have in mind are registerd at postcore_initcall time, which means I have a really nice spot at arch_initcall time to add my notifiers. There are 4 notifications provided. Device being added (before hooked to the bus) and removed (failure of previous case or after being unhooked from the bus), along with driver being bound to a device and about to be unbound. The usage I have for these are: - The 2 first ones are used to maintain a struct device_ext that is hooked to struct device.firmware_data. This structure contains for now a pointer to the Open Firmware node related to the device (if any), the NUMA node ID (for quick access to it) and the DMA operations pointers & iommu table instance for DMA to/from this device. For bus types I own (like IBM VIO or EBUS), I just maintain that structure directly from the bus code when creating the devices. But for bus types managed by generic code like PCI or platform (actually, of_platform which is a variation of platform linked to Open Firmware device-tree), I need this notifier. - The other two ones have a completely different usage scenario. I have cases where multiple devices and their drivers depend on each other. For example, the IBM EMAC network driver needs to attach to a MAL DMA engine which is a separate device, and a PHY interface which is also a separate device. They are all of_platform_device's (well, about to be with my upcoming patches) but there is no say in what precise order the core will "probe" them and instanciate the various modules. The solution I found for that is to have the drivers for emac to use multithread_probe, and wait for a driver to be bound to the target MAL and PHY control devices (the device-tree contains reference to the MAL and PHY interface nodes, which I can then match to of_platform_devices). Right now, I've been polling, but with that notifier, I can more cleanly wait (with a timeout of course).

I got a lockdep warning when running "rtctest" so I though it'd be good to see what was up. - The warning was for rtc->irq_task_lock, gotten from rtc_update_irq() by irq handlerss ... but in a handful of other cases, grabbed without blocking IRQs. - Some callers to rtc_update_irq() were not ensuring IRQs were blocked, yet the routine expects that; make sure all callers block IRQs.

2006-11-22[AGP] Allocate AGP pages with GFP_DMA32 by defaultLinus Torvalds
Not all graphic page remappers support physical addresses over the 4GB mark for remapping, so while some do (the AMD64 GART always did, and I just fixed the i965 to do so properly), we're safest off just forcing GFP_DMA32 allocations to make sure graphics pages get allocated in the low 32-bit address space by default. AGP sub-drivers that really care, and can do better, could just choose to implement their own allocator (or we could add another "64-bit safe" default allocator for their use), but quite frankly, you're not likely to care in practice. So for now, this trivial change means that we won't be allocating pages that we can't map correctly by mistake on x86-64. [ On traditional 32-bit x86, this could never happen, because GFP_KERNEL would never allocate any highmem memory anyway ] Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Cc: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-11-22[AGP] Fix intel 965 AGP memory mapping functionLinus Torvalds
This introduces a i965-specific "mask_memory()" function that knows about the extended physical addresses that the i965 supports. This allows us to correctly map in physical memory in the >4GB range into the GTT. Also simplify/clean-up the i965 case for the aperture sizing by just returning the fixed 512kB size from "fetch_size()". We don't really care that not all of the aperture may be visible - the only thing that cares about the aperture size is the Intel "stolen memory" calculation, which depends on the fixed size.

This reverts commit 37605a6900f6b4d886d995751fcfeef88c4e462c. Again. This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by commit b8d35192c55fb055792ff0641408eaaec7c88988, only to be reverted last time in commit 72945b2b90a5554975b8f72673ab7139d232a121. We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or threads. Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically throttles the events properly. At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal event without this patch reverted.
