2011-05-06Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameterJan Kara
Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This requires changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to be too large for kmalloc). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-04-29Introduce CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWAREMike Waychison

2011-04-29driver: Google Memory ConsoleMike Waychison
This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver. Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines as to what the firmware is doing. The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in the file /sys/firmware/log.

2011-04-29driver: Google EFI SMIMike Waychison
The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for accessing hardware. Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information. Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used. This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various limitations over time, but all are included herein. This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in gsmi_system_valid().

2011-04-22driver-core: fix race between device_register and driver_registerSebastian Ott
When a device is registered to a bus it will be a) added to the list of devices of the bus and b) bind to a driver (if one matches). As a result of a driver being registered at this bus between a) and b) this device could already be bound to a driver. This leads to a warning and incorrect refcounting. To fix this add a check to device_attach to identify an already bound device. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-04-22drivers:misc:ti-st: handle delayed tty receivePavan Savoy
When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered. This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered. This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which bluetooth would have unregistered from the system. OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt data coming in after the driver is unregistered.

2011-04-18next_pidmap: fix overflow conditionLinus Torvalds
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

2011-04-18Input: xen-kbdfront - fix mouse getting stuck after save/restoreIgor Mammedov
Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working condition. If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get into user-space. Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of 5ea5254aa0ad269cfbd2875c973ef25ab5b5e9db ("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates").

2011-04-18md: incorporate new plugging into raid5.NeilBrown
In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things: 1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update 2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full stripes - or at least more-full. We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt is zero.

2011-04-18md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.NeilBrown
When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call mddev_check_plugged. If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some processing can be delayed. If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-04-18md - remove old plugging code.NeilBrown
