2006-09-25Driver core: add groups support to struct deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman
This is needed for the network class devices in order to be able to convert over to use struct device. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-25PM: platform_bus and late_suspend/early_resumeDavid Brownell
Teach platform_bus about the new suspend_late/resume_early PM calls, issued with IRQs off. Do we really need sysdev and friends any more, or can janitors start switching its users over to platform_device so we can do a minor code-ectomy?

2006-09-25PM: no suspend_prepare() phaseDavid Brownell
Remove the new suspend_prepare() phase. It doesn't seem very usable, has never been tested, doesn't address fault cleanup, and would need a sibling resume_complete(); plus there are no real use cases. It could be restored later if those issues get resolved.

2006-09-25PM: update docs for writing .../power/stateDavid Brownell
Updates to match current code: - Make writes to the /sys/devices/.../power/state files fail cleanly if the device requires the irqs-off call variants. - Fix comments describing the /sys/devices/.../power/state file writes to match the code; the last several releases have invalidated the previous text.

2006-09-25updated Documentation/power/devices.txtDavid Brownell
This turned into a rewrite of Documentation/power/devices.txt: - Provide more of the "big picture" - Fixup some of the horribly ancient/obsolete description of device suspend() semantics; lots of text just got deleted. - Add a decent description of PM_EVENT_* codes, including the new PRETHAW code needed in some swsusp scenarios. - Describe the new PM factorization from Linus: * class suspend, current suspend, then suspend_late * NOT suspend_prepare, it wasn't really usable * resume_early, current resume, class resume. - Updates power/state docs to be correct, and deprecate its usage except for driver testing.

2006-09-25PM: PCI and IDE handle PM_EVENT_PRETHAWDavid Brownell
Convert some framework code to handle the new PRETHAW message. - IDE just treats it like a FREEZE. - The pci_choose_state() thingie still doesn't use PCI_D0 when it gets a FREEZE (and now PRETHAW) event, which seems rather buglike but wasn't something to change with this patch.

2006-09-25PM: define PM_EVENT_PRETHAWDavid Brownell
This adds a new pm_message_t event type to use when preparing to restore a swsusp snapshot. Devices that have been initialized by Linux after resume (rather than left in power-up-reset state) may need to be reset; this new event type give drivers the chance to do that. The drivers that will care about this are those which understand more hardware states than just "on" and "reset", relying on hardware state during resume() methods to be either the state left by the preceding suspend(), or a power-lost reset. The best current example of this class of drivers are USB host controller drivers, which currently do not work through swsusp when they're statically linked. When the swsusp freeze/thaw mechanism kicks in, a troublesome third state could exist: one state set up by a different kernel instance, before a snapshot image is resumed. This mechanism lets drivers prevent that state. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Cc: "Rafael J.

2006-09-25fix broken/dubious driver suspend() methodsDavid Brownell
Small driver suspend() fixes in preparation for the PRETHAW events: - Only compare message events for equality against PM_EVENT_* codes; not against integers, or using greater/less-than comparisons. (PM_EVENT_* should really become a __bitwise thing.) - Explicitly test for SUSPEND events (rather than not-something-else) before suspending devices. - Removes more of the confusion between a pm_message_t (wraps event code) and a "state" ... suspend() originally took a target system state. These updates are correct and appropriate even without new PM_EVENT codes. benh: "I think in the Mesh case, we should handle the freeze case as well or we might get wild DMA."

2006-09-25[PATCH] VIDIOC_ENUMSTD bugJonathan Corbet
The v4l2 API documentation for VIDIOC_ENUMSTD says: To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL. The actual code, however, tests the index this way: if (index<=0 || index >= vfd->tvnormsize) { ret=-EINVAL; So any application which passes in index=0 gets EINVAL right off the bat - and, in fact, this is what happens to mplayer. So I think the following patch is called for, and maybe even appropriate for a 2.6.18.x stable release.

2006-09-25[PATCH] load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitializedEd Swierk
Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init initcall. Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch) moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular, topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race, but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module to load earlier still. The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

Problem description: We have additional_cpus= option for allocating possible_cpus. But nid for possible cpus are not fixed at boot time. cpus which is offlined at boot or cpus which is not on SRAT is not tied to its node. This will cause panic at cpu onlining. Usually, pxm_to_nid() mapping is fixed at boot time by SRAT. But, unfortunately, some system (my system!) do not include full SRAT table for possible cpus. (Then, I use additiona_cpus= option.) For such possible cpus, pxm<->nid should be fixed at hot-add. We now have acpi_map_pxm_to_node() which is also used at boot. It's suitable here.
