[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).
Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

[PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/
dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64.
Currently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64

architectures already set CONFIG_DMI in their top-level Kconfig files.

[PATCH] dma doc updates
This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.
- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

[PATCH] arch/i386/pci/irq.c - new VIA chipsets (fwd)
I use 2.6.15.6 Linux kernel and found some problems. I have about 100
Linux boxes (all with the same (binary the same) kernel). Last time I have
upgraded all those boxes from 2.4.32 to 2.6.15.6 (first 2.6.15.1, next .2,
.4 and .6) and I have found some problems on VIA based PC's. Probably the
reason of this is that some VIA chipsets are unrecognized by IRQ router.
In line 586 there is: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
There were only a few of chipsets ID's there, some of my VIA chipsets were
not present and kernel used default IRQ router.
I have added three entries, so that the code looks like:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C596:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8231:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237_SATA:
/* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
r->name = "VIA";
r->get = pirq_via_get;
r->set = pirq_via_set;
return 1;
}
The kernel goes fine but I haven't testes it for weeks, I'm just a moment
after reboot :)
One thing is different (better?):
Using previus kernel I had:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0
now I have:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 11
Maybe it is good idea to add there some more VIA chipsets?
The ones I have added seem to be OK.

[PATCH] driver core: driver_bind attribute returns incorrect value
The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return
the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device.
driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the
device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the
device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just
return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf
or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing
was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and
failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in
which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string.
A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate
the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1
and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that
change.

Events are signaled by an object manager calling

If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which

one int per open file.

[PATCH] de_thread: Don't change our parents and ptrace flags.
This is two distinct changes.
- Not changing our real parents.
- Not changing our ptrace parents.
Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks
have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group. Now that
we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change
it's parentage.
Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone
looks hard enough. I don't think user space applications will care or
even notice.
In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached
to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags. From my quick skim
of strace and gdb that appears to be the case. Which if true means
debuggers will not notice a change.
Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit
that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a
debugger. Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags
around appears excessive.
By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between
de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for
fixing the ptrace locking.
This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the
problems caused by reparenting. Oleg's second concern is essentially a
race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we
get to force_sig_specific. There is nothing special about de_thread
with respect to that race.

[IA64] Make show_mem() skip holes in a pgdat
This patch modifies ia64's show_mem() to walk the vmem_map page tables and
rapidly skip forward across regions where the page tables are missing.
This prevents the pfn_valid() check from causing numerous unnecessary
page faults.
Without this patch on a 512 node 512 cpu system where every node has four
memory holes, the show_mem() call takes 1 hour 18 minutes. With this
patch, it takes less than 3 seconds.

ia64_wait_for_slaves() was changed in 2.6.17-rc1 to report the slave
state. It incorrectly assumes that all slaves are for MCA, but
ia64_wait_for_slaves() is also called from the INIT monarch handler.
The existing message is very misleading, so correct it.

scsi_kill_request() completes requests via normal SCSI completion path
which decrements busy counts; however, requests which get passed to
scsi_kill_request() aren't holding busy counts and scsi_kill_request()
don't increment them before invoking completion path resulting in
incorrect busy counts. Bump up busy counts before invoking completion
path.

[SCSI] FC transport: fixes for workq deadlocks
As previously reported via Michael Reed, the FC transport took a hit
in 2.6.15 (perhaps a little earlier) when we solved a recursion error.
There are 2 deadlocks occurring:
- With scan and the delete items sharing the same workq, flushing the
workq for the delete code was getting it stalled behind a very long
running scan code path.
- There's a deadlock where scsi_remove_target() has to sit behind
scsi_scan_target() due to contention over the scan_lock().
This patch resolves the 1st deadlock and significantly reduces the
odds of the second. So far, we have only replicated the 2nd deadlock
on a highly-parallel SMP system. More on the 2nd deadlock in a following
email.
This patch reworks the transport to:
- Only use the scsi host workq for scanning
- Use 2 other workq's internally. One for deletions, the other for
scheduled deletions. Originally, we tried this with a single workq,
but the occassional flushes of the scheduled queues was hitting the
second deadlock with a slightly higher frequency. In the future, we'll
look at the LLDD's and the transport to see if we can get rid of this
extra overhead.
- When moving to the other workq's we tightened up some object states
and some lock handling.
- Properly syncs adds/deletes
- minor code cleanups
- directly reference fc_host_attrs, rather than through attribute
macros
- flush the right workq on delayed work cancel failures.
Large kudos to Michael Reed who has been working this issue for the last
month.

[SCSI] aic79xx: target hotplug fixes
When a target is added aic79xx tries to be overly clever: it changes
the command on the fly to TEST UNIT READY and tries to requeue the
original command. Sadly this breaks SCSI compability and of course
the midlayer is getting a bit confused by it.
So we're just removing that bit of code and let the midlayer deal with
it. It's clever enough by now. And the driver code is getting simpler.

[SCSI] aic79xx bus reset update
As James B. correctly noted, ahd_reset_channel() in
ahd_linux_bus_reset() should be protected by ahd_lock(). However, the
main reason for not doing so was a deadlock with the interesting
polling mechanism to detect the end a bus reset.
This patch replaces the polling mechanism with a saner signalling via
flags; it also gives us the benefit of detecting any multiple calls to
ahd_reset_channel().

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

[SCSI] Simplify error handling
Use wait_for_completion_timeout() instead of using a timer (as
Christoph Hellwig did for aic7xxx).
That lets me eliminate the sym_eh_wait structure; the struct completion,
the old_done pointer and the to_do flag can be folded into the sym_ucmd
(which overrides the scsi_pointer in scsi_cmnd).
The sym_eh_done() function becomes much simpler as the timeout handling
is done in sym_eh_handler() directly.
The host_lock can be unlocked earlier, and I cache the host in
a local variable to make accesses to it quicker.
