While pci_set_power_state() is called by the PCI core
unconditionally on all PCI devices, it is not called on _any_
PCI bridge device. Therefore, it is not surprising calling
pci_set_power_state() on CardBus devices causes trouble.

As all cards to pcmcia_device_add() are already locked by skt_mutex, and
the critical sections inside this function are further protected by
ops_mutex, there's no need to keep a third lock around. Therfore, remove
pcmcia_add_device_lock.

On the PCI root bus on the x86 architecture, the risk of hitting
some strange system devices is too high: If a driver isn't loaded,
the resources are not claimed; even if a driver is loaded, it
may not request all resources or even the wrong one. We can neither
trust the rest of the kernel nor ACPI/PNP and CRS parsing to get it
right.
Therefore, explicitly spell out what safeguards we provide, and add
a safeguard to only use resources which are set up exclusively for
the secondary PCI bus (non-subtractive mode): the risk of hitting
system devices is quite low, as they usually aren't connected to
the secondary PCI bus.

Clean up the alloc_io_space() function by moving most of it to
the actual resource_ops. This allows for a bit less re-directions.
Future cleanups will follow, and will make up for the code
duplication currently present between rsrc_iodyn and rsrc_nonstatic
(which are hardly ever built at the same time anyway, therefore no
increase in built size).

Instead of the old pcmcia_request_irq() interface, drivers may now
choose between:
- calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq.
- use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will
clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or
device ejection.
- drivers still not capable of IRQF_SHARED (or not telling us so) may
use the deprecated pcmcia_request_exclusive_irq() for the time
being; they might receive a shared IRQ nonetheless.

If the PCMCIA CIS changed before a resume event (e.g. due to

not fail.

Same issues as SD card detection: One of both is always triggering and the
handlers take care to shut it up and enable the other. To avoid messages
about "unbalanced interrupt enable/disable" they must not be automatically
enabled when initally requested.
This was not an issue with the db1200_defconfig due to fortunate timings;
on a build without network chip support the warnings appear.

pcmcia_dev_present is in and by itself buggy. Add a note specifying

is a bad idea in IRQ context, from which this function is rarely

pccard_validate_cis() nowadays destroys the CIS cache. Therefore,
calling it after card setup should be avoided. We can't control
the deprecated PCMCIA ioctl (which is only used on ARM nowadays),
but we can avoid -- and report -- any other calls.

- pcmcia_align() used a "start" variable twice. That's obviously a bad

- pcmcia_common_resource() doesn't use the size and align parameters,

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Instead of requiring PCMCIA socket drivers to call various functions
during their (bus) resume and suspend functions, register an own
dev_pm_ops for this class. This fixes several suspend/resume bugs
seen on db1xxx-ss, and probably on some other socket drivers, too.
With regard to the asymmetry with only _noirq suspend, but split up
resume, please see bug 14334 and commit 9905d1b411946fb3 .

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.
This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

The PCMCIA ioctl -- deprecated for years -- suffers from insufficient
locking. As it already has been deprecated for years, with its removal
long overdue, limit it to !SMP and !PREEMPT.
Furthermore, the last legitimate use of the ioctl to be reported
relates to the ARM architecture in 2008.[1] Attempts to resolve
this issue turned out unsuccessful so far.[2] Other usages have only
been reported as hear-say. If there are any legitiate and necessary
use-cases remaining, please speak out before the end of the grace
period until 2.6.3{5,6}(-rc1).
