Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

2010-07-19PM: Make it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system sleepRafael J. Wysocki
One of the arguments during the suspend blockers discussion was that the mainline kernel didn't contain any mechanisms making it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system suspend. Generally, there are two problems in that area. First, if a wakeup event occurs exactly when /sys/power/state is being written to, it may be delivered to user space right before the freezer kicks in, so the user space consumer of the event may not be able to process it before the system is suspended. Second, if a wakeup event occurs after user space has been frozen, it is not generally guaranteed that the ongoing transition of the system into a sleep state will be aborted. To address these issues introduce a new global sysfs attribute, /sys/power/wakeup_count, associated with a running counter of wakeup events and three helper functions, pm_stay_awake(), pm_relax(), and pm_wakeup_event(), that may be used by kernel subsystems to control the behavior of this attribute and to request the PM core to abort system transitions into a sleep state already in progress. The /sys/power/wakeup_count file may be read from or written to by user space. Reads will always succeed (unless interrupted by a signal) and return the current value of the wakeup events counter. Writes, however, will only succeed if the written number is equal to the current value of the wakeup events counter. If a write is successful, it will cause the kernel to save the current value of the wakeup events counter and to abort the subsequent system transition into a sleep state if any wakeup events are reported after the write has returned. [The assumption is that before writing to /sys/power/state user space will first read from /sys/power/wakeup_count. Next, user space consumers of wakeup events will have a chance to acknowledge or veto the upcoming system transition to a sleep state. Finally, if the transition is allowed to proceed, /sys/power/wakeup_count will be written to and if that succeeds, /sys/power/state will be written to as well. Still, if any wakeup events are reported to the PM core by kernel subsystems after that point, the transition will be aborted.] Additionally, put a wakeup events counter into struct dev_pm_info and make these per-device wakeup event counters available via sysfs, so that it's possible to check the activity of various wakeup event sources within the kernel. To illustrate how subsystems can use pm_wakeup_event(), make the low-level PCI runtime PM wakeup-handling code use it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-03-22HID: add driver for Roccat Kone gaming mouseStefan Achatz
This Patch adds support for Kone gaming mouse from Roccat. It provides access to profiles, settings, firmware, weight, actual settings etc. through sysfs attributes. Event handling of this mouse differs from standard hid behaviour in that tilt button press is reported in each move event which results in strange behaviour if not handled by the driver. This is a heavily reworked version of the previously introduced driver. The changes include most of the previously raised concerns, memory leak and other fixes, code cleanups, adoption of additional achieved knowlege about the hardware and is (IMHO) a much better version than before even when I exchanged reduced USB-IO with a bigger memory consumption. I refused to implement one mentioned point: Removing the 'just-because-we-can' attributes. Motivation: Reading the clipped in weight: I'm no gamer and can't determine the usefulness of this feature but if the manufacturer implements such a feature it might make sense to someone and I would unwillingly limit the functionality besides its such a small feature. Reading the actual profile and dpi settings: Here I can testify that one can get lost of the actual settings when switching back and forth. The manufacturers windows driver has the ability for on-screen-display of the values and there is a mouse in the market that has an lcd on the underside of it to show these values. So I think this feature makes sense not only for me and shouldn't be removed. Signed-off-by: Stefan Achatz <erazor_de@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2010-01-29block: Added in stricter no merge semantics for block I/OAlan D. Brunelle
Updated 'nomerges' tunable to accept a value of '2' - indicating that _no_ merges at all are to be attempted (not even the simple one-hit cache). The following table illustrates the additional benefit - 5 minute runs of a random I/O load were applied to a dozen devices on a 16-way x86_64 system. nomerges Throughput %System Improvement (tput / %sys) -------- ------------ ----------- ------------------------- 0 12.45 MB/sec 0.669365609 1 12.50 MB/sec 0.641519199 0.40% / 2.71% 2 12.52 MB/sec 0.639849750 0.56% / 2.96% Signed-off-by: Alan D.

2009-12-16HWPOISON: Add soft page offline supportAndi Kleen
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

2009-12-15mm: add numa node symlink for memory section in sysfsAlex Chiang
Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g. /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but it's a little cumbersome. Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the node to which it belongs.
