2007-07-10pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe
The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh Dickins a bit. A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really there, and that the contents are good. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10Remove remnants of sendfile()Jens Axboe
There are now zero users of .sendfile() in the kernel, so kill it from the file_operations structure and in do_sendfile(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10xip sendfile removalCarsten Otte
This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform this could potentially be used on so far. Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it. At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

2007-07-10pipe: allow passing around of ops private pointerJens Axboe
relay needs this for proper consumption handling, and the network receive support needs it as well to lookup the sk_buff on pipe release. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-10vmsplice: add vmsplice-to-user supportJens Axboe
A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build on splice, with room for future improvement in performance. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: abstract out actor dataJens Axboe
For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file. So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top of that. This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-09ide: add short cables supportBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
This patch allows users to override both host and device side cable detection with "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter. Thanks to this it should be now possible to use UDMA > 2 modes on systems (laptops mainly) which use short 40-pin cable instead of 80-pin one. Next patches add automatic detection of some systems using short cables. Changes: * Rename hwif->udma_four to hwif->cbl and make it u8. * Convert all existing users accordingly (use ATA_CBL_* defines while at it). * Add ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT support to ide-iops.c:eighty_ninty_three(). * Use ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT for "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter.

2007-07-09sched: more agressive idle balancingIngo Molnar
the Linux scheduler is starving a number of workloads. So default to more agressive idle-balancing.

2007-07-09sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing codeIngo Molnar
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

2007-07-09HID: support for logitech cordless desktop LX500 special mappingRyo Dairiki
This keyboard has wireless mouse which has left, middle, right buttons and 2-dimensional scrolling wheel. Unfornetuly, this wheel reports side scrolling events and 11 or 12 button events at the same time. I've wrote a patch to fix this mapping. I'm not sure if this mapping is proper for buttons, because , for example, there is no entry for "burn cd" in input.h. The patch also supress 11 and 12 button events from mouse when you scroll the wheel left and right. With this patch, only side scrolling events are reported. (This mouse has only 4 buttons and 2D wheel. There is no such buttons like 11 and 12.) Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2007-07-09HID: separate quirks for report descriptor fixupJiri Kosina
Lately there have been quite a lot of bug reports against broken devices which require us to fix their report descriptor in the runtime, before it is passed to the HID parser. Those devices have eaten quite an amount of our quirks space, which isn't particularly necessary - the quirks are not needed after the report descriptor is parsed, and they just consume bits. Therefore this patch separates the quirks for report descriptor fixup, and moves their handling into separate code. The quirks are then forgotten as soon as the report descriptor has been parsed. Module parameter 'rdesc_quirks' is introduced to be able to modify these quirks in runtime in a similar way to 'quirks' parameter for ordinary HID quirks. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2007-07-09HID: support for Petalynx Maxter remote controlJiri Kosina
Petalynx Maxter remote control [1] 0x18b1/0x0037 emits 0xfa and 0xfc from consumer page (reserved in HUT 1.12) for back and more keys. It also emits a few usages from LOGIVENDOR page, which need adding. Also, this device has broken report descriptor - the reported maximum is too low - it doesn't contain the range for 'back' and 'more' keys, so we need to bump it up before the report descriptor is being parsed. Besides all this, it also requires NOGET quirk. This patch does so.

2007-07-09HID: force hid-input for Microsoft SideWinder GameVoice deviceJiri Kosina
Microsoft SideWinder GameVoice driver is a trivial device with a few buttons (0x09 HID usage) and an audio connector, which just forwards the audio input into oridinary sound card present in the computer. Despite this fact, the only interface of this device reports itself as a Telephony/Headset type of HID device. This is apparently incorrect - the device itself doesn't provide any audio/telephony functionality. This is achieved in userland application which only needs to receive the button events from the HID driver. This patch establishes a new quirk which forces hid-input to claim a device it will otherwise leave untouched.
