2009-03-24block: genhd.h cleanup patchPetros Koutoupis
In include/linux/genhd.h: Line 335 has a comment that needs to be updated from: /* drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c */ to /* block/blk-core.c */. Also as of kernel 2.6.16, the function definition for get_blkdev_list was removed from block/genhd.c but the function declaration is still present on line 339. This patch addresses both those fixes, by updating the comment and removing the declaration.

2009-03-24block: genhd.h comment needs updatingPetros Koutoupis
The include/linux/genhd.h file, on line 338-352 declares some function prototypes in which the comment on line 338 states that the definition of these prototypes are to be found at drivers/block/genhd.c. The problem is that genhd.c has been relocated to block/genhd.c. See attached patch to correct this minor cosmetic typo.

2009-03-17nfsd: nfsd should drop CAP_MKNOD for non-rootJ. Bruce Fields
Since creating a device node is normally an operation requiring special privilege, Igor Zhbanov points out that it is surprising (to say the least) that a client can, for example, create a device node on a filesystem exported with root_squash. So, make sure CAP_MKNOD is among the capabilities dropped when an nfsd thread handles a request from a non-root user.

2009-03-09Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."Dave Jones
This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

2009-03-05libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5sStuart Hayes
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be ready. On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..." message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly timeout/error messages. Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out, and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which will finally get things working.

2009-02-26rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at bootPaul E. McKenney
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin, Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name and function-name language. ;-) The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up. During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time. This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks() function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to determine if it should believe idle_cpu(). Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical section may be preeempted. In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the system_state global variable be __read_mostly. Changes since v4: o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to be less emotional. ;-) Changes since v3: o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU switches out of boot-time mode before the first context switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin. Changes since v2: o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself a grace period. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if the system is still in early boot. This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running on a single CPU after booting is complete. o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there being but one online CPU. Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

2009-02-25ide: fix refcounting in device driversBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
During host driver module removal del_gendisk() results in a final put on drive->gendev and freeing the drive by drive_release_dev(). Convert device drivers from using struct kref to use struct device so device driver's object holds reference on ->gendev and prevents drive from prematurely going away. Also fix ->remove methods to not erroneously drop reference on a host driver by using only put_device() instead of ide*_put().

2009-02-25gpu/drm, x86, PAT: io_mapping_create_wc and resource_size_tVenkatesh Pallipadi
io_mapping_create_wc should take a resource_size_t parameter in place of unsigned long. With unsigned long, there will be no way to map greater than 4GB address in i386/32 bit. On x86, greater than 4GB addresses cannot be mapped on i386 without PAE. Return error for such a case. Patch also adds a structure for io_mapping, that saves the base, size and type on HAVE_ATOMIC_IOMAP archs, that can be used to verify the offset on io_mapping_map calls.

2009-02-24i2c-dev: Clarify the unit of ioctl I2C_TIMEOUTJean Delvare
The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>
