Just as Artem suggested: "Both UBI and JFFS2 are able to read verify what they wrote already. There are also MTD tests which do this verification. So I think there is no reason to keep this in the NAND layer, let alone wasting RAM in the driver to support this feature. Besides, it does not work for sub-pages and many drivers have it broken.

2012-09-29mtd: nand: allow NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE to be set from driverBrian Norris
The NAND_CHIPOPTIONS_MSK has limited utility and is causing real bugs. It silently masks off at least one flag that might be set by the driver (NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE). This breaks the GPMI NAND driver and possibly others. Really, as long as driver writers exercise a small amount of care with NAND_* options, this mask is not necessary at all; it was only here to prevent certain options from accidentally being set by the driver. But the original thought turns out to be a bad idea occasionally. Thus, kill it. Note, this patch fixes some major gpmi-nand breakage.

2012-08-20cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg
In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

2012-08-09Input: eeti_ts: pass gpio value instead of IRQArnd Bergmann
The EETI touchscreen asserts its IRQ line as soon as it has data in its internal buffers. The line is automatically deasserted once all data has been read via I2C. Hence, the driver has to monitor the GPIO line and cannot simply rely on the interrupt handler reception. In the current implementation of the driver, irq_to_gpio() is used to determine the GPIO number from the i2c_client's IRQ value. As irq_to_gpio() is not available on all platforms, this patch changes this and makes the driver ignore the passed in IRQ. Instead, a GPIO is added to the platform_data struct and gpio_to_irq is used to derive the IRQ from that GPIO. If this fails, bail out. The driver is only able to work in environments where the touchscreen GPIO can be mapped to an IRQ. Without this patch, building raumfeld_defconfig results in: drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c: In function 'eeti_ts_irq_active': drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c:65:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'irq_to_gpio' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Signed-off-by: Daniel Mack <zonque@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v3.2+) Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Cc: Sven Neumann <s.neumann@raumfeld.com> Cc: linux-input@vger.kernel.org Cc: Haojian Zhuang <haojian.zhuang@gmail.com>

2012-08-07canfd: remove redundant CAN FD flagOliver Hartkopp
The first idea of the CAN FD implementation started with a new struct canfd_frame to be used for both CAN FD frames and legacy CAN frames. The now mainlined implementation supports both CAN frame types simultaneously and distinguishes them only by their required sizes: CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU. Only the struct canfd_frame contains a flags element which is needed for the additional CAN FD information. As CAN FD implicitly means that the 'Extened Data Length' mode is enabled the formerly defined CANFD_EDL bit became redundant and also confusing as an unset bit would be an error and would always need to be tested. This patch removes the obsolete CANFD_EDL bit and clarifies the documentation for the use of struct canfd_frame and the CAN FD relevant flags.

2012-08-04vfs: kill write_super and sync_supersArtem Bityutskiy
Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.
