Fix the cx23888 driver to use the new kfifo API. Using kfifo_reset()
may result in a possible race conditions. This patch fixes it by using
a spinlock around the kfifo_reset() function.Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifoSo I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warning]

This reverts commit 7bc7d637452383d56ba4368d4336b0dde1bb476d, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:"Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
nanoseconds field.He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
sub-nanosecond accumulated time.Details:
* At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
that rounding.* Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.* We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
known to work.* The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those
patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

The second parameter to alignf() in allocate_resource() must
reflect what new resource is attempted to be allocated, else
functions like pcibios_align_resource() (at least on x86) or
pcmcia_align() can't work correctly.Commit 1e5ad9679016275d422e36b12a98b0927d76f556 broke this by
setting the "new" resource until we're about to return success.
To keep the resource untouched when allocate_resource() fails,
a "tmp" resource is introduced.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

The direction of rounding is incorrect in the snd_interval_ratnum()
It was detected with following parameters (sb8 driver playing
8kHz stereo file):
- num is always 1000000
- requested frequency rate is from 7999 to 7999 (single frequency)The first loop calculates div_down(num, freq->min) which is 125.
Thus, a frequency range's minimum value is 1000000 / 125 = 8000 Hz.
The second loop calculates div_up(num, freq->max) which is 126
The frequency range's maximum value is 1000000 / 126 = 7936 Hz.
The range maximum is lower than the range minimum so the function
fails due to empty result range.Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt

The current Realtek code makes no specific provision for turning stuff
off. The codec chip is placed into low-power mode generically, but this
doesn't turn off any external hardware connected to it, in particular
external amplifiers.This patch creates a hook function that is called by the codec
suspend/resume functions. It ought to disable any external hardware in a
device-specific way. I've implemented a generic ALC889 function that
sets the EAPD pin properly, and used it for the Acer Aspire 8930G which
can benefit from this feature.On my laptop, this results in ~0.5W extra savings.

adev->dma_mode stores the transfer mode value not UDMA mode number
so the condition in cmd64x_set_dmamode() is always true and the higher
UDMA clock is always selected. This can potentially result in data
corruption when UDMA33 device is used, when 40-wire cable is used or
when the error recovery code decides to lower the device speed down.The issue was introduced in the commit 6a40da0 ("libata cmd64x: whack
