There are cases, when 80% max isochronous bandwidth is too limiting.
For example I have two USB video capture cards which stream uncompressed
video, and to stream full NTSC + PAL videos we'd needNTSC 640x480 YUV422 @30fps ~17.6 MB/s
PAL 720x576 YUV422 @25fps ~19.7 MB/sisoc bandwidth.
Now, due to limited alt settings in capture devices NTSC one ends up
streaming with max_pkt_size=2688 and PAL with max_pkt_size=2892, both
with interval=1. In terms of microframe time allocation this givesNTSC ~53us
PAL ~57usand together
~110us > 100us == 80% of 125us uframe time.
So those two devices can't work together simultaneously because the'd
over allocate isochronous bandwidth.80% seemed a bit arbitrary to me, and I've tried to raise it to 90% and
both devices started to work together, so I though sometimes it would be
a good idea for users to override hardcoded default of max 80% isoc
bandwidth.After all, isn't it a user who should decide how to load the bus? If I
can live with 10% or even 5% bulk bandwidth that should be ok. I'm a USB
newcomer, but that 80% set in stone by USB 2.0 specification seems to be
chosen pretty arbitrary to me, just to serve as a reasonable default.NOTE 1
~~~~~~for two streams with max_pkt_size=3072 (worst case) both time
allocation would be 60us+60us=120us which is 96% periodic bandwidth
leaving 4% for bulk and control. Alan Stern suggested that bulk then
would be problematic (less than 300*8 bittimes left per microframe), but
I think that is still enough for control traffic.NOTE 2
~~~~~~Sarah Sharp expressed concern that maxing out periodic bandwidth
could lead to vendor-specific hardware bugs on host controllers, because> It's entirely possible that you'll run into
> vendor-specific bugs if you try to pack the schedule with isochronous
> transfers. I don't think any hardware designer would seriously test or
> validate their hardware with a schedule that is basically a violation of
> the USB bus spec (more than 80% for periodic transfers).So far I've only tested this patch on my HP Mini 5103 with N10 chipset

~~~~~~This feature is off by default. I mean max periodic bandwidth is set to
100us/uframe by default exactly as it was before the patch. So only those of us
who need the extreme settings are taking the risk - normal users who do not
alter uframe_periodic_max sysfs attribute should not see any change at all.NOTE 4

This patchset introduces cleancache, an optional new feature exposed
by the VFS layer that potentially dramatically increases page cache
effectiveness for many workloads in many environments at a negligible
cost. It does this by providing an interface to transcendent memory,
which is memory/storage that is not otherwise visible to and/or directly
addressable by the kernel.Instead of being discarded, hooks in the reclaim code "put" clean
pages to cleancache. Filesystems that "opt-in" may "get" pages
from cleancache that were previously put, but pages in cleancache are
"ephemeral", meaning they may disappear at any time. And the size
of cleancache is entirely dynamic and unknowable to the kernel.
Filesystems currently supported by this patchset include ext3, ext4,
btrfs, and ocfs2. Other filesystems (especially those built entirely
on VFS) should be easy to add, but should first be thoroughly tested to
ensure coherency.Details and a FAQ are provided in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt
This first patch of eight in this cleancache series only adds two
new documentation files.[v8: minor documentation changes by author]

After remove the device from /sys, we have to rescan all or
find out the bridge and access /sys../device/rescan there.this patch add /sys/.../pci_bus/.../rescan. So user can rescan more easy.
that is more clean and easy to understand.like after remove 0000:c4:00.0, you can rescan 0000:c4 directly.
-v2: According to Jesse, use function instead of exposing attr, so could hide
#ifdef in header file.
also add code to remove rescan file in remove path.
-v3: GregKH pointed out that we should use dev_attrs to avoid racing.

This is sync with Linus' tree to receive KEY_IMAGES definition
that went in through input tree. -
startup_profile and actual_profile didn't work as expected. Also
as the actual profile is persistent, the distinction between the
two was ambiguous, so both use the same code now and startup_profile
has been deprecated. Also the event is now propagated through
chardev. The userland tool has been updated to support this change.Signed-off-by: Stefan Achatz

Martin reports that on his system hibernation occasionally fails due
to the lack of memory, because the radeon driver apparently allocates
too much of it during the device freeze stage. It turns out that the
amount of memory allocated by radeon during hibernation (and
presumably during system suspend too) depends on the utilization of
the GPU (e.g. hibernating while there are two KDE 4 sessions with
compositing enabled causes radeon to allocate more memory than for
one KDE 4 session).In principle it should be possible to use image_size to make the
memory preallocation mechanism free enough memory for the radeon
driver, but in practice it is not easy to guess the right value
because of the way the preallocation code uses image_size. For this
reason, it seems reasonable to allow users to control the amount of
memory reserved for driver allocations made after the hibernate
preallocation, which currently is constant and amounts to 1 MB.Introduce a new sysfs file, /sys/power/reserved_size, whose value
will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for the
post-preallocation reservations made by device drivers, in bytes.
For backwards compatibility, set its default (and initial) value to
the currently used number (1 MB).References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34102

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.Cc: Greg KH

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.Signed-off-by: San Mehat

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().Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie
