2011-09-19regmap: Add the indexed cache supportDimitris Papastamos
This is the simplest form of a cache available in regcache. Any registers whose default value is 0 are ignored. If any of those registers are modified in the future, they will be placed in the cache on demand. The cache layout is essentially using the provided register defaults by the regcache core directly and does not re-map it to another representation.

2011-09-19regmap: Introduce caching supportDimitris Papastamos
This patch introduces caching support for regmap. The regcache API has evolved essentially out of ASoC soc-cache so most of the actual caching types (except LZO) have been tested in the past. The purpose of regcache is to optimize in time and space the handling of register caches. Time optimization is achieved by not having to go over a slow bus like I2C to read the value of a register, instead it is cached locally in memory and can be retrieved faster. Regarding space optimization, some of the cache types are better at packing the caches, for e.g. the rbtree and the LZO caches. By doing this the sacrifice in time still wins over doing I2C transactions.

2011-09-19tracing: Add a counter clock for those that do not trust clocksSteven Rostedt
When debugging tight race conditions, it can be helpful to have a synchronized tracing method. Although in most cases the global clock provides this functionality, if timings is not the issue, it is more comforting to know that the order of events really happened in a precise order. Instead of using a clock, add a "counter" that is simply an incrementing atomic 64bit counter that orders the events as they are perceived to happen. The trace_clock_counter() is added from the attempt by Peter Zijlstra trying to convert the trace_clock_global() to it. I took Peter's counter code and made trace_clock_counter() instead, and added it to the choice of clocks. Just echo counter > /debug/tracing/trace_clock to activate it.

2011-09-18usb: Provide usb_speed_string() functionMichal Nazarewicz
In a few places in the kernel, the code prints a human-readable USB device speed (eg. "high speed"). This involves a switch statement sometimes wrapped around in ({ ... }) block leading to code repetition. To mitigate this issue, this commit introduces usb_speed_string() function, which returns a human-readable name of provided speed. It also changes a few places switch was used to use this new function. This changes a bit the way the speed is printed in few instances at the same time standardising it.

2011-09-16ethtool: Update ethtool_rxnfc::rule_cnt on return from ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALLBen Hutchings
A user-space process must use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT to find the number of classification rules, then allocate a buffer of the right size, then use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL to fill the buffer. If some other process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations, the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size. If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE. But if it's too large, there is no indication of this. Fix this by updating the rule_cnt field on return. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-09-16ethtool: Explicitly state that RX NFC rule locations are prioritiesBen Hutchings
The location of an RX flow classification rule is needed to identify it for retrieval, replacement or deletion. However it also defines the priority of the rule in the case that a flow is matched by multiple rules. This is what I intended to imply by referring to the use of a TCAM, commonly used to implement that behaviour. However there are other ways this can be done, and it is better to specify this explicitly. Further, I want to add the option for automatic selection of rule locations.

2011-09-16can-gw: add netlink based CAN routingOliver Hartkopp
This patch adds a CAN Gateway/Router to route (and modify) CAN frames. It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly. CAN frames can *only* be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop). They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables. From the netlink view this can-gw implements RTM_{NEW|DEL|GET}ROUTE for PF_CAN. The CAN specific userspace tool to manage CAN routing entries can be found in the CAN utils http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/cangw.c at the SocketCAN SVN on BerliOS.

2011-09-16sctp: deal with multiple COOKIE_ECHO chunksMax Matveev
Attempt to reduce the number of IP packets emitted in response to single SCTP packet (2e3216cd) introduced a complication - if a packet contains two COOKIE_ECHO chunks and nothing else then SCTP state machine corks the socket while processing first COOKIE_ECHO and then loses the association and forgets to uncork the socket. To deal with the issue add new SCTP command which can be used to set association explictly. Use this new command when processing second COOKIE_ECHO chunk to restore the context for SCTP state machine. Signed-off-by: Max Matveev <makc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-09-15net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings callingJiri Pirko
This patch does several things: - introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

When I last posted the patch, the ceph bit was ACK'ed by Sage Weil, so I've added that below. The pwc-ioctl change generated quite a bit of discussion about V4L version numbers in general, but as far as I can tell, no concensus was reached on what the long term solution should be, so in the mean time I think we could start by just removing the unneeded include, which is why I'm resending the patch with that hunk still included.

Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"). The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically. The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually, hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level representing the sum of itself and all its children. Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now, we can try again later.

2011-09-13cfg80211/nl80211: Indicate roaming feature capability to userspace.Vivek Natarajan
When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to associate. Since firmware based roaming is faster, inform wpa_supplicant to avoid roaming and let the firmware decide to roam if necessary. For fullmac drivers like ath6kl, it is just enough to provide the ESSID and the firmware will decide on the BSSID. Since it is not possible to do pre-auth during roaming for fullmac drivers, the wpa_supplicant needs to completely disconnect with the old AP and reconnect with the new AP. This consumes lot of time and it is better to leave the roaming decision to the firmware. Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan <nataraja@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
