2009-04-29V4L/DVB (11652): au0828: fix kernel oops regression on USB disconnect.Devin Heitmueller
A regression was introduced in hg changeset 33810c734a0d, which resulted in a kernel panic whenever the device was disconnected from USB. The call to 4l2_device_register() was overwriting the pointer for usb_set_intfdata(), so when au0828_usb_disconnect() was called, the usb_get_intfdata() returned a pointer to the v4l2_device instead of the au0828_dev structure.

2009-04-29V4L/DVB (11561a): move media after i2cGuennadi Liakhovetski
Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire, usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem. The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be much bigger of a change, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2009-04-28e100: do not go D3 in shutdown unless system is powering offThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've had some problems when probing e100. It would not read the eeprom. After some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least 2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that suspend does and puts the device in D3 state. I couldn't find a way to get the device back to a sane state in the probe function. So, based on some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe, I wrote this one for e100.

2009-04-28netfilter: revised locking for x_tablesStephen Hemminger
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

2009-04-28hd: fix lockingTejun Heo
hd dance around local irq and HD_IRQ enable without achieving much. It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and HD_IRQ disabled. The only place it actually does something is while transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ disabled but local irq enabled. Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV. IRQ and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole machine pretty quickly. Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking in issue, irq and timeout paths. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2009-04-28Bluetooth: Fix connection establishment with low security requirementMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required since it causes interoperability issues. To support this properly the low security requirement translates into different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing a lot simpler. Based on a report by Ville Tervo <ville.tervo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-04-28Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy PairingMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within 10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is triggered. If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and broken devices now. Based on a report by Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2009-04-28net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()Eric Dumazet
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting. This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function.

Fixes build errors like these when CONFIG_SMP=n: arch/powerpc/platforms/ps3/setup.c:49: error: redefinition of 'smp_send_stop' include/linux/smp.h:125: error: previous definition of 'smp_send_stop' was here Reported-by: Subrata Modak <subrata@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2009-04-28powerpc/cell: Select PCI for IBM_CELL_BLADE AND CELLEBMichael Ellerman
Currently PPC_CELL_NATIVE selects PPC_OF_PLATFORM_PCI, but does not select PCI. This can lead to a config with the former and the latter disabled, which does not build. To fix this PPC_CELL_NATIVE should select PCI. However, that would force PCI on for QPACE, which also selects PPC_CELL_NATIVE. So instead move the select of PPC_OF_PLATFORM_PCI and PCI under both IBM_CELL_BLADE and CELLEB.

2009-04-28powerpc: ppc32 needs elf_read_implies_exec()Kumar Gala
On ppc64 we implemented elf_read_implies_exec() for 32-bit binaries because old toolchains had bugs where they didn't mark program segments executable that needed to be. For some reason we didn't do this on ppc32 builds. This hadn't been an issue until commit 8d30c14c ("powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)"), which had as a side effect that we are now enforcing execute permissions to some extent on 32-bit 4xx and Book E processors. This fixes it by defining elf_read_implies_exec on 32-bit to turn on the read-implies-exec behaviour on programs that are sufficiently old that they don't have a PT_GNU_STACK program header.

2009-04-27Remove unused support code for refok sections.Tim Abbott
The old refok sections .text.init.refok .data.init.refok .exit.text.refok have been deprecated since commit 312b1485fb509c9bc32eda28ad29537896658cb8. After the other patches in this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up by eliminating all the remaining references to them.

2009-04-27sparc: cleanup references to deprecated .text.init* sections.Tim Abbott
The section .text.init.refok is deprecated and __REF (.ref.text) should be used in assembly files instead. This patch cleans up a few uses of .text.init.refok in the sparc architecture. Also fix a reference to .text.init in a comment that wasn't updated to .init.text. Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Cc: David S.

The sh architecture has some code in the .text.init section, but it does not reference that section in its linker scripts. This change moves this code from the .text.init section to the .init.text section, which is presumably where it belongs.

2009-04-27powerpc: Use TEXT_TEXT macro in linker script.Tim Abbott
Rather than adding .ref.text to the powerpc linker script so that we can use __REF on the powerpc architecture, it seems simpler to switch to using the generic TEXT_TEXT macro.
