2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-12i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototypeJean Delvare
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense. Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging, to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that. I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used, which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far. There are some obvious compatiblity considerations: * This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will have to update their code. * User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

2007-05-04CUDA ADB fixesFinn Thain
Fix the flakiness in the CUDA ADB driver on m68k macs (keypresses getting wedged down or ADB just going AWOL altogether). The only IRQ used by this driver is the VIA shift register IRQ. The PowerMac conditional code disables the other VIA IRQ sources, so don't mess with the other IRQ flags in the common code -- m68k macs need them. When polling, don't disable local interrupts when we only need to disable the CUDA interrupt. Unless polling, don't clear the shift register IRQ flag. On m68k macs this creates a race that often breaks CUDA ADB. Tested on Quadra 840av and LC630 (both m68k); also Beige G3 (powerpc).

2007-05-04m68k: Mac II ADB fixesFinn Thain
Fix a crash caused by requests placed in the queue with the completed flag already set. This lead to some ADB_SYNC requests returning early and their request structs being popped off the stack while still queued. Stack corruption ensued or an invalid request callback pointer was invoked or both. Eliminate macii_retransmit() and its buggy implementation of macii_write(). Have macii_queue_poll() fully initialise the request queues. Fix a bug in macii_queue_poll() where the last_req pointer was not being set. This caused some requests to leave the queue before being completed (and would also corrupt the stack under certain conditions). Fix a race in macii_start that could set the state machine to "reading" while current_req was null. No longer send poll commands with the ADBREQ_REPLY flag -- doing that caused the replies to be stored in the request buffer where they were forgotten about. Don't autopoll by continuously sending new Talk commands. Get the controller to do that for us. This reduces the ADB interrupt rate on an idle bus to about 5 per second. Only autopoll the devices that were probed. Explicitly clear the interrupt flag when polling. Use disable_irq rather than local_irq_save when polling. Remove excess local_irq_save/restore pairs. Improve bus timeout and service request detection. Remove unused code (last_reply, adb_dir etc) and unneeded code (prefix_len, first_byte etc). Change TIP and TACK to their correct names on this ADB controller (ST_EVEN and ST_ODD). Add some commentry. Add a generous quantity of sanity checks (BUG_ONs). Let m68k macs use the adb_sync boot param too.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
