kernel: use non-racy method for proc entries creation

2008-04-29T15:06:22Z

Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that ->proc_fops and ->data be setup before gluing PDE to main tree. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Cc: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PCI: clean up resource alignment management

Besides, I removed IORESOURCE_BUS_HAS_VGA flag which was unused for ages. Signed-off-by: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Gary Hade Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[POWERPC] Add arch-specific walk_memory_remove() for 64-bit powerpc

2008-02-08T08:52:48Z

walk_memory_resource() verifies if there are holes in a given memory range, by checking against /proc/iomem. On x86/ia64 system memory is represented in /proc/iomem. On powerpc, we don't show system memory as IO resource in /proc/iomem - instead it's maintained in /proc/device-tree. This provides a way for an architecture to provide its own walk_memory_resource() function. On powerpc, the memory region is small (16MB), contiguous and non-overlapping. So extra checking against the device-tree is not needed.

Add IORESOUCE_BUSY flag for System RAM

2007-11-15T02:45:39Z

i386 and x86-64 registers System RAM as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY. But ia64 registers it as IORESOURCE_MEM only. In addition, memory hotplug code registers new memory as IORESOURCE_MEM too. This difference causes a failure of memory unplug of x86-64. This patch fixes it. This patch adds IORESOURCE_BUSY to avoid potential overlap mapping by PCI device.

memory unplug: memory hotplug cleanup

2007-10-16T16:43:01Z

A clean up patch for "scanning memory resource [start, end)" operation. Now, find_next_system_ram() function is used in memory hotplug, but this interface is not easy to use and codes are complicated. This patch adds walk_memory_resouce(start,len,arg,func) function. The function 'func' is called per valid memory resouce range in [start,pfn).

libata/IDE: remove combined mode quirk

2007-04-28T18:15:59Z

Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and devices found using normal resource reservation methods. This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode, and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode. Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM performance. For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware. In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54Z

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

devres: device resource management

2007-02-09T22:39:36Z

Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
