As all in-tree drivers have been converted to not use cs_error() any more,
drop these functions and definitions, and update the Documentation.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski
-
As a replacement to pcmcia_get_{first,next}_tuple() and
pcmcia_get_tuple_data(), three new -- and easier to use --
functions are added:- pcmcia_get_tuple() to get the very first CIS entry of one
type.- pcmcia_loop_tuple() to loop over all CIS entries of one type.
- pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis() to read out the hardware MAC address
from CISTPL_FUNCE.Only a handful of drivers need these functions anyway, as most
CIS access is already handled by pcmcia_loop_config(), which
now shares the same backed (pccard_loop_tuple()) with
pcmcia_loop_tuple().A pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis() bug noted by Komuro
has been fixed in this revision.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

On FSC laptops, the sound gets muted gradually when the volume is chnaged.
This is due to the wrong volume-knob widget setup. The delta bit (bit 7)
shouldn't be set for these devices.This patch adds a new quirk to set the value 0x7f to the widget 0x24
instead of 0xff.Reference: Novell bnc#546006

Update documentation of cgroups tasks and procs files
Document the cgroup.procs file.
Clarify the semantics of the cgroup.procs and tasks files. Although the
current cgroup.procs interface returns a sorted and uniqified list of
pids, potential future performance enhancements could result in those
properties being removed - explicitly document this aspect of the API.There are no existing users of cgroup.procs, so compatibility isn't an
issue. There are users of the "tasks" file, but none that would appear to
break in the event of the sorted property being broken. The standard
"libcpuset" explicitly sorts the results of reading from the tasks file,
and "libcg" and other users don't appear to care about ordering.Signed-off-by: Paul Menage

Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not
enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE.Update KSM Documentation and Kconfig to reflect the new defaults.

It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.
When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.
Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215
and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely
to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now
we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same.So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect
callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%,
respectively.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare
