2008-02-02power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVELAndres Salomon
The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what is the difference between them? What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL, LOW and CRITICAL, etc? As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy decisions in the kernel (or in hardware). This is the sort of decision that should be made in userspace, not in the kernel. If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated, then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute; however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing, and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL stubs. The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL. The OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's removed from there as well.

2008-02-01ACPI suspend: Call _PTS before suspending devicesRafael J. Wysocki
The ACPI 1.0 specification wants us to put devices into low power states after executing the _PTS global control method, while ACPI 2.0 and later want us to do that in the reverse order. The current suspend code follows ACPI 2.0 in that respect which causes some ACPI 1.0x systems to hang during suspend (ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528). Make the suspend code execute _PTS before putting devices into low power states (ie. in accordance with ACPI 1.0x) and provide a command line option to override the default if need be.

Modify the hibernation userland interface by adding two new ioctls to it, SNAPSHOT_PLATFORM_SUPPORT and SNAPSHOT_POWER_OFF, that can be used, respectively, to switch the hibernation platform support on/off and to make the kernel transition the system to the hibernation state (eg. ACPI S4) using the platform (eg. ACPI) driver. These ioctls are intended to replace the misdesigned SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl, which from now is regarded as obsolete and will be removed in the future.

2008-01-31[IPV4] route cache: Introduce rt_genid for smooth cache invalidationEric Dumazet
Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches. We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list. A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry, so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table identifier, without having to scan all entries. No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires. Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found in a chain when an insert is done. Thus we keep a normal equilibrium. This patch : - renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t) - Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit) - Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :
