V4L/DVB (4763): Pvrusb2: Implement IR reception for 24xxx devices
Unlike 29xxx devices, the 24xxx model series does not have a dedicated
I2C device for reception of IR codes. Instead IR is handled directly
by the FX2 microcontroller and the results are communicated via
commands to the FX2. Rather than implement a whole new IR reception
pathway for 24xxx devices, this changeset instead emulates the
presence of the 29xxx device's I2C based IR receiver by intercepting
commands to that chip and issuing appropriate FX2 commands to do the
needed action. This has the result of allowing all the usual IR
frameworks (ir-kbd-i2c or lirc) to continue working unmodified for
24xxx devices.

V4L/DVB (4676): Dynamic cx88 mpeg port management for HVR1300 MPEG2/DVB-T support.
A series of patches to change the cx88 framework to allow the
PCI mpeg port to be shared dynamically between different
types of drivers or applications. This patch changes the cx88-dvb
and cx88-blackbird drivers to become 'sub drivers' of a higher
single cx88-mpeg driver.
The cx88-mpeg driver is a superset of the previous cx88-mpeg/blackbird
drivers and now owns the IRQ. cx88-dvb/blackbird now become mini drivers,
registering themselves with cx88-mpeg through a standard interface with
callbacks.
Sub drivers request access to hardware via the cx88-mpeg driver. In turn
the cx88-mpeg driver determines whether the hardware is busy and accepts
or refuses the request, grant access using callbacks into the sub drivers.
The net effect is that you are no longer able to tamper with the mpeg port
from multiple different applications at the same time, potentially breaking
a live mpeg2 hardware encoding or dvb stream.
The mechanism extends to enable multiple dvb frontends to be registered
and share the single resource.

IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus
to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)
and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes
the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could
potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

[PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg()
Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable
and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary.
The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of
which can actually occur:
(1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given
where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it
can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data().
Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue
is for it to be actually run.
If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer
because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be
cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its
timer started.
(2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases:
(a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're
protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock.
(b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been
started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can
access it (the pending bit protects us).
Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so
it can be assigned instead.
So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay
in most cases.
The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated
using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_
test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was
set.
If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required -
equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

[PATCH] dm: mpath: use noflush suspending
Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.
The pushback request is used when:
1) there are no valid paths;
2) queue_if_no_path was set;
3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.
To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.
The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().

[PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback
In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.
This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core. This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it. Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application. In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
----------------------
If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend(). It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.
The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.
Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().
A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.
Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same. This has been labelled 'pushback'.
The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.
dec_pending
-----------
dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error. Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list. Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.
It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt). dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.
pushdback list and pushback_lock
--------------------------------
The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.
md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.
Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag. Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.
Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.
The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above. So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.
Other notes on the current patch
--------------------------------
- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.
- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.
- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
the list already. (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())
Test results
------------
I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.
The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
- I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
- I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
set;
- I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set;
- The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
fail.
The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option;
- The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
resume is issued without path recovery;
- The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
or table load;
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.
The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
- When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
pushback list are flushed properly.
- When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

[PATCH] dm: ioctl: add noflush suspend
Provide a dm ioctl option to request noflush suspending. (See next patch for
what this is for.) As the interface is extended, the version number is
incremented.
Other than accepting the new option through the interface, There is no change
to existing behaviour.
Test results:
Confirmed the option is given from user-space correctly.

[PATCH] dm: map and endio return code clarification
Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no
existing targets using such values.
The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement
so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.
The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
< 0 : error
= 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
= 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
> 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
for similar reasons.
DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.
Test results:
I have tested by using the multipath target.
I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.
I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.
I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.

[PATCH] dm: suspend: parameter change
Change the interface of dm_suspend() so that we can pass several options
without increasing the number of parameters. The existing 'do_lockfs' integer
parameter is replaced by a flag DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG.
There is no functional change to the code.
Test results:
I have tested 'dmsetup suspend' command with/without the '--nolockfs'
option and confirmed the do_lockfs value is correctly set.

[PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregistering
ACPI drivers like ibm-acpi are moving to the backlight sysfs
infrastructure. During ibm-acpi testing, I have noticed that
backlight_device_unregister() sets the display brightness and power to
zero.
This causes the display to be dimmed on ibm-acpi module removal. It will
affect all other ACPI drivers that are being converted to use the backlight
class, as well. It also affects a number of framebuffer devices that are
used on desktops and laptops which might also not want such behaviour.
Since working around this behaviour requires undesireable hacks, Richard
Purdie decided that we would be better off reverting the changes in the
sysfs class, and adding the code to dim and power off the backlight device
to the drivers that want it. This patch is my attempt to do so.
Patch against latest linux-2.6.git. Changes untested, as I lack the
required hardware. Still, they are trivial enough that, apart from typos,
there is little chance of getting them wrong.

[PATCH] softcursor.c: avoid unaligned accesses
Fix some possible unaligned accesses when accessing fields of 'image'
pointer. Indeed this pointer was obtained by allocating a block of memory
that embeds a temporary array plus an image structure. The temporary
buffer was located at the start of the allocated block and depending on its
size, the image structure which comes right after can be unaligned.
For example when using mini fonts (4x6) (cursor's width is 4 and its height
is 6) the temporary buf size is 6 bytes.
Therefore this patch moves the image structure to the start of the block
and moves the temporary buffer right after. It makes 'image' pointer
always aligned and since the tempo buf is a buffer of char, it's always
correctly aligned as well.
It also fixes the file header alignement.
