b119dc3 i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removal Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this: - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had. This was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node. Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away. - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to fix this problem earlier. This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

For that matter, to get rid of that _option_ to initialize then, and always init that driver with subsystem_init() ... it's common with embedded systems to need I2C access to tweak a GPIO expander or do some other work when bringing up drivers, that's not specific to USB stacks. >> Signed-off-by: Vitaly Wool <vitalywool@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> 04 January 2007, 12:07:03 UTC

2e11c20 [PATCH] cdrom: set default timeout to 7 seconds It's a known fact that Windows times out commands after 7 seconds, so drives generally try and respond if they can before that happens. We default to 5 seconds, which sometimes is a bit too short. Jeremy Higdon reported here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/1/145 that his drive takes longer than 5 seconds for a "read track information" command, later confirming that it is about 6.7 seconds. So just do the sane thing and change the default command timeout to 7 seconds to avoid other surprises.

24ebead [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Always guess FSB This is patch that solves Ebox mini PC issue and make FSB code more specification compilant. At start guess_fsb function is guessing 200MHz FSB too. It is better to make it in this way because, thanks to this function, driver will fail for bogus FSB values caused by bogus multiplier value. For PowerSaver processors we can't depend on Max / MinMHzFSB because these values are only used for PowerSaver 2.0 and 3.0. Most processors on which Longhaul is used are PowerSaver 1.0 only. I'm changing code for older CPU's too, but not so much as previously, and this code was already used for Ezra. Using MinMHzBR for Ezra-T is outside spec. It is for voltage scaling purpose and don't have to be equal to minmult (but it is). Same for Nehemiah (it isn't for sure). Added mult - current multiplier value.

So we should use .section command to specifically mark .text.head section as AX (allocatable and executable) to solve the problem. This should be unnecessary with binutils 2.15 and later, which is already three years old, but it doesn't hurt supporting older toolchains where possible.

The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async io into sync requests.

dc3c337 [PATCH] libata: fix combined mode This is a slight variant on the patch I posted December 16th to fix libata combined mode handling. The only real change is that we now correctly also reserve BAR1,2,4. That is basically a neatness issue. Jeff was unhappy about two things 1. That it didn't work in the case of one channel native one channel legacy. This is a silly complaint because the SFF layer in libata doesn't handle this case yet anyway. 2. The case where combined mode is in use and IDE=n. In this case the libata quirk code reserves the resources in question correctly already. Once the combined mode stuff is redone properly (2.6.21) then the entire mess turns into a single pci_request_regions() for all cases and all the ugly resource hackery goes away. I'm sending this now rather than after running full test suites so that it can get the maximal testing in a short time. I'll be running tests on this after lunch.

09db28b [PATCH] KVM: Initialize kvm_arch_ops on unload The latest version of kvm doesn't initialize kvm_arch_ops in kvm_init(), which causes an error with the following sequence. 1. Load the supported arch's module. 2. Load the unsupported arch's module.$B!!(B(loading error) 3. Unload the unsupported arch's module. You'll get the following error message after step 3. "BUG: unable to handle to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx" The problem here is that the unsupported arch's module overwrites kvm_arch_ops of the supported arch's module at step 2.

4b1badf [PATCH] SPI: define null tx_buf to mean "shift out zeroes" Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are (from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads. Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from "undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing, and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels. This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

9414232 [PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offset Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with two narrow exceptions: - if the system is booting - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()). Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.) The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to only allow the narrow exceptions.
