  • After the reference count becomes 0 when put_device() is called, it will
    execute the release callback where we are freeing all the allocated
    memory associated with the device. So if we just continue on the error
    path then we are again freeing devname and trying to dereference par_dev
    which has already been free-ed in the release callback.

  • After registering the device if exclusive access fails for any reason
    then we need to unregister the device to remove all references.

  • As of now we were starting the registration process and after the device
    is registered we were checking if the device can be used by the
    parport. Now lets check it first so that we do not need to go through
    the registration process only to fail at the end.
    The original exclusive access check at the end is still there so that we
    do not get any surprises if two different process registers its device
    with same parport and with exclusive access at the same time.

  • parport subsystem starts using the device-model. Drivers using the
    device-model has to define devmodel as true and should register the
    device with parport using parport_register_dev_model().

  • The interruptible_sleep_on function is can still lead to the
    deadlock mentioned in the comment above the caller, and we want
    to remove it soon, so replace it now with the race-free
    wait_event_interruptible.

  • parport_unregister_device() should never be used when interrupts are
    enabled in hardware and irq handler is registered so there is no need to
    disable interrupts when using waitlist_lock. But there is no way to
    explain this subtle semantics to lockdep analyzer.

    So disable interrupts here too to simplify things. The price is
    negligible.

  • Ideally we should have a directory of drivers and a link to the 'active'
    driver. For now just show the first device which is effectively the existing
    semantics without a warning.

    This is an update on the original buggy patch that I then forgot to
    resubmit. Confusingly it was proposed by Red Hat, written by Etched Pixels
    fixed and submitted by Intel ...

  • Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the
    underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of
    sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management.

    This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and
    updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field
    replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc.

  • Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
    of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
    Linux kernel.

    The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
    space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
    from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
    (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

    Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
    something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
    maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
    handling.

    Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
    through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
    device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
    interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
    device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
    layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

    I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
    main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
    I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
    with minimal configurations.

    This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
    Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

    struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

    And put the old one back at the end:

    set_irq_regs(old_regs);

    Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

    In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

    - update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
    - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
    + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
    + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

    I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
    except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

    Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

    (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
    the input_dev struct.

    (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
    something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
    pointer or not.

    (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
    irq_handler_t.

  • Semaphore to mutex conversion.

    The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
    automatically via a script as well.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
