Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:
- Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set
the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.
- Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.
- Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.
- Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
/sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).
- Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with
udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.
So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

Move mtd_has_partitions() and mtd_has_cmdlinepart() inlines from a
DaVinci-specific driver to the <linux/mtd/partitions.h> header.
Use those to eliminate #ifdefs in two drivers which had their own
definitions of mtd_has_partitions().
Quite a lot of other MTD drivers could benefit from using use one or both
of these to remove #ifdeffery. Maybe some Janitors would like to help.

Since creating a device node is normally an operation requiring special
privilege, Igor Zhbanov points out that it is surprising (to say the
least) that a client can, for example, create a device node on a
filesystem exported with root_squash.
So, make sure CAP_MKNOD is among the capabilities dropped when an nfsd
thread handles a request from a non-root user.

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150
On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was

[sdp] Add. Sense: Data phase error
This was causing some test apps to exit due to write failure under heavy
load.
This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in
fcoe_pending_queue, Chris Leech helped me to find that brief unlocking
period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts
(fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue
up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in
fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris.
This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue
at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of
fcoe_pending_queue_active flag.
This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by
use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals
to clear and set lp->qfull.
I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH will work better
in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.

unneeded/undesirable cast of void*. There are probably zillions of
instances of this - there always are.
This whole inline function was unnecessary. The FCoE layer knows
that it's data structure is stored in the lport private data, it
can just access it from lport_priv().

1) Added '()' for function names in kerneldoc comments
2) Changed comment bookends from '**/' to '*/'. The comment on the the
mailing list was that '**/' "is consistently unconventional. Not
wrong, just odd." The Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt
states that kerneldoc comment blocks should end with '**/' but most
(if not all) instance I found under drivers/scsi/ were only using
the '*/' so I converted to that style.
3) Removed incorrect linebreaks in kerneldoc comments where found
4) Removed a few unnecessary blank comment lines in kerneldoc comment

[CPUFREQ] Add p4-clockmod sysfs-ui removal to feature-removal schedule.
Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."
|
|
This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6.
Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.
Course of action:
- Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

This allows any rport ELS to retry on LS_RJT.
The rport error handling would only retry on resource allocation failures
and exchange timeouts. I have a target that will occasionally reject PLOGI
when we do a quick LOGO/PLOGI. When a critical ELS was rejected, libfc would
fail silently leaving the rport in a dead state.
The retry count and delay are managed by fc_rport_error_retry. If the retry
count is exceeded fc_rport_error will be called. When retrying is not the
correct course of action, fc_rport_error can be called directly.

lport->link_status
The fcoe_xmit could call fc_pause in case the pending skb queue len is larger
than FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH, the fc_pause was trying to grab lport->lp_muex to
change lport->link_status and that had these issues :-
1. The fcoe_xmit was getting called with bh disabled, thus causing
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" when grabbing lport->lp_muex with bh disabled.
2. fc_linkup and fc_linkdown function calls lport_enter function with
lport->lp_mutex held and these enter function in turn calls fcoe_xmit to send
lport related FC frame, e.g. fc_linkup => fc_lport_enter_flogi to send flogi
req. In this case grabbing the same lport->lp_mutex again in fc_puase from
fcoe_xmit would cause deadlock.
The lport->lp_mutex was used for setting FC_PAUSE in fcoe_xmit path but
FC_PAUSE bit was not used anywhere beside just setting and clear this
bit in lport->link_status, instead used a separate field qfull in fc_lport
to eliminate need for lport->lp_mutex to track pending queue full condition
and in turn avoid above described two locking issues.
Also added check for lp->qfull in fc_fcp_lport_queue_ready to trigger
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when lp->qfull is set to prevent more scsi-ml cmds
while lp->qfull is set.
This patch eliminated FC_LINK_UP and FC_PAUSE and instead used dedicated
fields in fc_lport for this, this simplified all related conditional
code.
Also removed fc_pause and fc_unpause functions and instead used newly added
lport->qfull directly in fcoe.

libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to

To unmap a scatterlist, just call:
pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);
Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished.
PLEASE NOTE: The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be

it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the

This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to
be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be
ready.
On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..."
message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly
timeout/error messages.
Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a
soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also
times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out,
and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which
will finally get things working.

As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.
Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.
Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice()
will need to call this new function after doing so too.
With help from Patrick McHardy.

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.
Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.
Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.
