2005-09-22[PATCH] reboot: comment and factor the main reboot functionsEric W. Biederman
In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions. Making it very hard to get the various kinds of reboot out of sync. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2005-09-21[PATCH] mm: add a note about partially hardcoded VM_* flagsPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Hugh made me note this line for permission checking in mprotect(): if ((newflags & ~(newflags >> 4)) & 0xf) { after figuring out what's that about, I decided it's nasty enough. Btw Hugh itself didn't like the 0xf. We can safely change it to VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC because we never change VM_SHARED, so no need to check that.

Here's a patch to fix this -- compile tested only, since I have no idea what the hardware even is.

2005-09-13[PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API supportMauro Carvalho Chehab
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API VBI = Vertical Blank Interval. It is related with the way TV signals work. It sends a line, then, it has a retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next line. This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV. There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI. So, lots of TV systems use it to send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext. Also, broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content producer to their subsidiaries at each city. There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and Teletext. The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for analog TV signals, non encoded. Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e. 4x3, widescreen...). Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this kind of information.

2005-09-13[PATCH] set_current_state() commentaryAndrew Morton
Explain the mysteries of set_current_state(). Quoth Linus: The scheduler itself never needs the memory barrier at all. The barrier is needed only if the user itself ends up testing some other thing afterwards, ie if you have set_process_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (still_need_to_sleep()) schedule(); then the "still_need_to_sleep()" thing may test flags and wakeup events, and then you _may_ want to (and often do) make sure that the write of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is serialized wrt the reads of any wakeup data (since the wakeup may have happened on another CPU). So the comment is somewhat wrong. We don't really _care_ whether the state propagates out to other CPU's since all of our actions are purely local, and there is nothing we do that is conditional on any other CPU: we're going to sleep unconditionally, and the scheduler only cares about _our_ state, not about somebody elses state.

2005-09-12[NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROMRalf Baechle
NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being reset. An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in crashes of BPQ systems. An alternative approach of introducing a new transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter. Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl (net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

2005-09-11[NET]: Add netlink connector.Evgeniy Polyakov
Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus direction. Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called. From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward: socket(); bind(); send(); recv(); But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly easier way: int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *)); void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask); struct cb_id { __u32 idx; __u32 val; }; idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val will be received by connector core. Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's users. Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.
