  • 4d389dcea   [WATCHDOG] clean-up watchdog documentation ... Browse Code »

    Random sampling of some URLs in the Documentation tree to see how many were
    stale found that one watchdog driver was now a porn site. In fact if the
    watchdogs document directory was any older it would be written in latin

    Clean it up somewhat and add Last reviewed headers, something all the
    Documentation could do with IMHO.

  • dec04cff5   Further update of the i386 boot documentation ... Browse Code »

    A number of items in the i386 boot documentation have been either
    vague, outdated or hard to read. This text revision adds several more
    examples, including a memory map for a modern kernel load. It also
    adds a field-by-field detailed description of the setup header, and a
    bootloader ID for Qemu.

  • 83c6590cb   gpio interface loosens call restrictions ... Browse Code »

    Loosen gpio_{request,free}() and gpio_direction_{in,out}put() call context
    restrictions slightly, so a common idiom is no longer an error: board init
    code setting up spinlock-safe GPIOs before tasking is enabled.

    The issue was caught by some paranoid code with might_sleep() checks. The
    legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this
    change reflects current implementations and won't break anything.

  • 621e59a77   docbook: make kernel-locking table readable ... Browse Code »

    Andi Kleen pointed out to me that the kernel locking cheat sheet
    table entries are unreadable.

    Make table entries smaller so that pdf and ps output is readable
    (columns were being overwritten and garbled) by using abbreviations.
    This allows the tables to fit on one page cleanly.
    Add a Legend for the abbreviations:
    SLIS: spin_lock_irqsave
    SLI: spin_lock_irq
    SL: spin_lock
    SLBH: spin_lock_bh
    DI: down_interruptible

  • 920a4b103   libata: implement libata.spindown_compat ... Browse Code »

    Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
    shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
    some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
    shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
    STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
    this double spinning down causes problem.

    This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
    when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
    disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that
    libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
    libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
    in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).

    shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on
    SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks
    currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
    then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
    head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
    dangerous data integrity-wise.

    So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
    the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.

    * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
    exists. If it does, write 0 to it.

    * For each libata harddisk {
    * Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
    exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
    down as before.
    }

    The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
    before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
    it.

    To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
    patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
    optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
    hours of tireless usability testing).

  • 08a02ecd2   md: allow reshape_position for md arrays to be set via sysfs ... Browse Code »

    "reshape_position" records how much progress has been made on a "reshape"
    (adding drives, changing layout or chunksize).

    When it is set, the number of drives, layout and chunksize can have
    two possible values, an old an a new.

    So allow these different values to be visible, and allow both old and new to
    be set: Set the old ones first, then the reshape_position, then the new
    values.

  • 8bb784428   Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug ... Browse Code »

    Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
    frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
    special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
    subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
    related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
    patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
    suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
    CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
    (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
    ones).
