  • e04232360   [RAPIDIO] Auto-probe the RapidIO system size ... Browse Code »

    The RapidIO system size will auto probe in RIO setup. The route table
    and rionet_active in rionet.c are changed to be allocated dynamically
    according to the size of the system.

  • 91a690295   sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes ... Browse Code »

    Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

    What I do:
    Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
    .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

    In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
    include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
    But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
    to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
    I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

    Why I do this:
    For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
    struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
    while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
    I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
    so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
    So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

    Who benefits from it:
    The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
    requires such an improvement.
    All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
    Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
    the table signature and instance number which are used to
    distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

    Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
    for different ACPI table binary attributes.
    This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
    platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

  • 7b595756e   sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner ... Browse Code »

    sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
    deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
    so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
    often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
    accessing removed modules.

    This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
    this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
    backing module from being unloaded.

    For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
    following message.

  • cd354f1ae   [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h ... Browse Code »

    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).

  • de25968cc   [PATCH] fix more missing includes ... Browse Code »

    Include fixes for 2.6.14-git11. Should allow to remove sched.h from
    module.h on i386, x86_64, arm, ia64, ppc, ppc64, and s390. Probably more
    to come since I haven't yet checked the other archs.

  • 394b701ce   [PATCH] RapidIO support: core base ... Browse Code »

    Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect
    used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs
    over at http://www.rapidio.org

    The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of
    devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers.

    There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features.
    However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start
    contributing.
