Some drivers set PF_NOFREEZE in their kthread functions which is completely unnecessary and racy - some part of freezer code doesn't consider cases where PF_NOFREEZE is set asynchronous to freezer operations. In general, there's no reason to allow setting PF_NOFREEZE explicitly.

2011-11-18USB: make the usbfs memory limit configurableAlan Stern
The 16-MB global limit on memory used by usbfs isn't suitable for all people. It's a reasonable default, but there are applications (especially for SuperSpeed devices) that need a lot more. This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to control the global limit. The default is still 16 MB, but users can change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded. As a special case, setting the value to 0 is treated the same as the hard limit of 2047 MB. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-11-18DMAEngine: Define interleaved transfer request apiJassi Brar
Define a new api that could be used for doing fancy data transfers like interleaved to contiguous copy and vice-versa. Traditional SG_list based transfers tend to be very inefficient in such cases as where the interleave and chunk are only a few bytes, which call for a very condensed api to convey pattern of the transfer. This api supports all 4 variants of scatter-gather and contiguous transfer. Of course, neither can this api help transfers that don't lend to DMA by nature, i.e, scattered tiny read/writes with no periodic pattern. Also since now we support SLAVE channels that might not provide device_prep_slave_sg callback but device_prep_interleaved_dma, remove the BUG_ON check.

2011-11-16cciss: auto engage SCSI mid layer at driver load timeStephen M. Cameron
A long time ago, probably in 2002, one of the distros, or maybe more than one, loaded block drivers prior to loading the SCSI mid layer. This meant that the cciss driver, being a block driver, could not engage the SCSI mid layer at init time without panicking, and relied on being poked by a userland program after the system was up (and the SCSI mid layer was therefore present) to engage the SCSI mid layer. This is no longer the case, and cciss can safely rely on the SCSI mid layer being present at init time and engage the SCSI mid layer straight away. This means that users will see their tape drives and medium changers at driver load time without need for a script in /etc/rc.d that does this: for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss* do echo "engage scsi" > $x done However, if no tape drives or medium changers are detected, the SCSI mid layer will not be engaged. If a tape drive or medium change is later hot-added to the system it will then be necessary to use the above script or similar for the device(s) to be acceesible. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

2011-11-15RS485: fix inconsistencies in the meaning of some variablesClaudio Scordino
The crisv10.c and the atmel_serial.c serial drivers intepret the fields of the serial_rs485 structure in a different way. In particular, crisv10.c uses SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND for the voltage of the RTS pin; atmel_serial.c, instead, uses these values to know if a delay must be set before and after sending. This patch makes the usage of these variables consistent across all drivers and fixes the Documentation as well. From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be used to set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the delay will be understood by looking only at the value of delay_rts_before_send and delay_rts_after_send.

2011-11-15USB: Add optional match for interface class to dynamic ID facilityJosua Dietze
When adding the ID of a composite device dynamically to a driver, all hitherto unbound interfaces are bound to this driver regardless of their class, which may not be intended. The patch adds the option to tell the targeted interface class to a driver via the "new_id" attribute, in addition to the device ID. Also, it appends the ABI documentation accordingly. Example: $ echo "1234 2a2a ff" >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id will bind only vendor-specific interfaces to the 3G driver.

2011-11-15ARM: gic: allow GIC to support non-banked setupsMarc Zyngier
The GIC support code is heavily using the fact that hardware implementations are exposing banked registers. Unfortunately, it looks like at least one GIC implementation (EXYNOS) offers both the distributor and the CPU interfaces at different addresses, depending on the CPU. This problem is solved by allowing the distributor and CPU interface addresses to be per-cpu variables for the platforms that require it. The EXYNOS code is updated not to mess with the GIC internals while handling interrupts, and struct gic_chip_data is back to being private. The DT binding for the gic is updated to allow an optional "cpu-offset" value, which is used to compute the various base addresses. Finally, a new config option (GIC_NON_BANKED) is used to control this feature, so the overhead is only present on kernels compiled with support for EXYNOS. Tested on Origen (EXYNOS4) and Panda (OMAP4).

2011-11-13net: introduce ethernet teaming deviceJiri Pirko
This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding driver. Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available here: https://github.com/jpirko/libteam Note it's still in its dipers atm. team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc. Python binding of libteam was recently introduced. Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in kernel team driver. v7->v8: - check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling them. - use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb() v6->v7: - transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths. That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is present v5->v6: - changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers v4->v5: - team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port list - mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and possibly other weird things with mac addresses. Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then enslaved. - Extended Kconfig text v3->v4: - remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode() - revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte" - extend comment of function __team_change_mode() v2->v3: - team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind - set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte - port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure - error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now - fixed rtln->rtnl v1->v2: - modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and extendable. - several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed - several other bugs were fixed. - note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode "random") in future.

2011-11-11[media] dvb: Allow select between DVB-C Annex A and Annex CMauro Carvalho Chehab
DVB-C, as defined by ITU-T J.83 has 3 annexes. The differences between Annex A and Annex C is that Annex C uses a subset of the modulation types, and uses a different rolloff factor. A different rolloff means that the bandwidth required is slicely different, and may affect the saw filter configuration at the tuners. Also, some demods have different configurations, depending on using Annex A or Annex C. So, allow userspace to specify it, by changing the rolloff factor.

2011-11-10block: Revert "[SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk"Tejun Heo
This reverts commit a72c5e5eb738033938ab30d6a634b74d1d060f10. The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet. This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot of problems. It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used universally or enforced. Everything internal including device lookup and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its alias. This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been upstreamed. Revert it. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1155104 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/68632 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/69776 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: "James E.J.

2011-11-09crypto: digital signature verification supportDmitry Kasatkin
This patch implements RSA digital signature verification using GnuPG library. The format of the signature and the public key is defined by their respective headers. The signature header contains version information, algorithm, and keyid, which was used to generate the signature. The key header contains version and algorythim type. The payload of the signature and the key are multi-precision integers. The signing and key management utilities evm-utils provide functionality to generate signatures and load keys into the kernel keyring. When the key is added to the kernel keyring, the keyid defines the name of the key. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com> Acked-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>
