2014-04-07res_counter: remove interface for locked charging and unchargingDavid Rientjes
The res_counter_{charge,uncharge}_locked() variants are not used in the kernel outside of the resource counter code itself, so remove the interface.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - a new jpeg codec driver for Samsung Exynos (jpeg-hw-exynos4) - a new dvb frontend for ds2103 chipset (m88ds2103) - a new sensor driver for Samsung S5K5BAF UXGA (s5k5baf) - new drivers for R-Car VSP1 - a new radio driver: radio-raremono - a new tuner driver for ts2022 chipset (m88ts2022) - the analog part of em28xx is now a separate module that only load/runs if the device is not a pure digital TV device - added a staging driver for bcm2048 radio devices - the omap 2 video driver (omap24xx) was moved to staging. This driver is for an old hardware and uses a deprecated Kernel internal API. If nobody cares enough to fix it, it would be removed on a couple Kernel releases - the sn9c102 driver was moved to staging. This driver was replaced by gspca, and disabled on some distros, as almost all devices are known to work properly with gspca. It should be removed from kernel on a couple Kernel releases - lots of driver fixes, improvements and cleanups * 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (421 commits) [media] media: v4l2-dev: fix video device index assignment [media] rc-core: reuse device numbers [media] em28xx-cards: properly initialize the device bitmap [media] Staging: media: Fix line length exceeding 80 characters in as102_drv.c [media] Staging: media: Fix line length exceeding 80 characters in as102_fe.c [media] Staging: media: Fix quoted string split across line in as102_fe.c [media] media: st-rc: Add reset support [media] m2m-deinterlace: fix allocated struct type [media] radio-usb-si4713: fix sparse non static symbol warnings [media] em28xx-audio: remove needless check before usb_free_coherent() [media] au0828: Fix sparse non static symbol warning Revert "[media] go7007-usb: only use go->dev after allocated" [media] em28xx-audio: provide an error code when URB submit fails [media] em28xx: fix check for audio only usb interfaces when changing the usb alternate setting [media] em28xx: fix usb alternate setting for analog and digital video endpoints > 0 [media] em28xx: make 'em28xx_ctrl_ops' static em28xx-alsa: Fix error patch for init/fini [media] em28xx-audio: flush work at .fini [media] drxk: remove the option to load firmware asynchronously [media] em28xx: adjust period size at runtime ...

2012-12-18res_counter: return amount of charges after res_counter_uncharge()Glauber Costa
It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to res_counter_uncharge. While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read after uncharge, this can be racy. If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics as the atomic variables in the kernel. Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only users appearing from now on will be checking this value.

2012-05-29rescounters: add res_counter_uncharge_until()Frederic Weisbecker
When killing a res_counter which is a child of other counter, we need to do res_counter_uncharge(child, xxx) res_counter_charge(parent, xxx) This is not atomic and wastes CPU. This patch adds res_counter_uncharge_until(). This function's uncharge propagates to ancestors until specified res_counter. res_counter_uncharge_until(child, parent, xxx) Now the operation is atomic and efficient.

2012-04-27res_counter: Merge res_counter_charge and res_counter_charge_nofailFrederic Weisbecker
These two functions do almost the same thing and duplicate some code. Merge their implementation into a single common function. res_counter_charge_locked() takes one more parameter but it doesn't seem to be used outside res_counter.c yet anyway. There is no (intended) change in the behaviour.

2009-04-13res_counter: update documentationAndrea Righi
After the introduction of resource counters hierarchies (28dbc4b6a01fb579a9441c7b81e3d3413dc452df) the prototypes of res_counter_init() and res_counter_charge() have been changed. Keep the documentation consistent with the actual function prototypes.
