2009-02-18pm: fix build for CONFIG_PM unsetRafael J. Wysocki2-1/+2

2009-02-18mm: task dirty accounting fixNick Piggin3-10/+5
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty). Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for __set_page_dirty_no_writeback. So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

2009-02-18timerfd: add flags checkDavide Libenzi2-10/+18
As requested by Michael, add a missing check for valid flags in timerfd_settime(), and make it return EINVAL in case some extra bits are set. Michael said: If this is to be any use to userland apps that want to check flag support (perhaps it is too late already), then the sooner we get it into the kernel the better: 2.6.29 would be good; earlier stables as well would be even better.

2009-02-18seq_file: properly cope with preadEric Biederman2-4/+33
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the offset it passed to user space. In the case pread this assumption is broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread. To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we know where our logical file position is. Then in seq_read if we try to read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to the offset user space wanted.

2009-02-18vfs: separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flagsPaul Turner1-6/+12
Separate FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags to reflect the reality that the read and write paths may have independent restrictions. A git grep verifies that these flags are always cleared together so this new behavior will only apply to interfaces that change to clear flags individually. This is required for "seq_file: properly cope with pread", a post-2.6.25 regression fix.

We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not __get_vm_area_caller() On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses given to vmalloc vs. ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order to be able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I need a "_caller" variant of it.

2009-02-17USB/PCI: Fix resume breakage of controllers behind cardbus bridgesRafael J. Wysocki5-17/+2
If a USB PCI controller is behind a cardbus bridge, we are trying to restore its configuration registers too early, before the cardbus bridge is operational. To fix this, call pci_restore_state() from usb_hcd_pci_resume() and remove usb_hcd_pci_resume_early() which is no longer necessary (the configuration spaces of USB controllers that are not behind cardbus bridges will be restored by the PCI PM core with interrupts disabled anyway). This patch fixes the regression from 2.6.28 tracked as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12659 [ Side note: the proper long-term fix is probably to just force the unplug event at suspend time instead of doing a plug/unplug at resume time, but this patch is fine regardless - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have been seeing.

2009-02-17V4L/DVB (10527): tuner: fix TUV1236D analog/digital setupMauro Carvalho Chehab1-6/+4
As reported by David Engel <david@istwok.net>, ATSC115 doesn't work fine with mythtv. This software opens both analog and dvb interfaces of saa7134. What happens is that some tuner commands are going to the wrong place, as shown at the logs: Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: using tuner params #0 (ntsc) Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: freq = 67.25 (1076), range = 0, config = 0xce, cb = 0x01 Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: Freq= 67.25 MHz, V_IF=45.75 MHz, Offset=0.00 MHz, div=1808 Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner 1-0061: tv freq set to 67.25 Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: using tuner params #0 (ntsc) Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: freq = 67.25 (1076), range = 0, config = 0xce, cb = 0x01 Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: Freq= 67.25 MHz, V_IF=45.75 MHz, Offset=0.00 MHz, div=1808 Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: tv 0x07 0x10 0xce 0x01 Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: tv 0x07 0x10 0xce 0x01 This happens due to a hack at TUV1236D analog setup, where it replaces tuner address, at 0x61 for 0x0a, in order to save a few memory bytes. The code assumes that nobody else would try to access the tuner during that setup, but the point is that there's no lock to protect such access. So, this opens the possibility of race conditions to happen. Instead of hacking tuner address, this patch uses a temporary var with the proper tuner value to be used during the setup. This should save the issue, although we should consider to write some analog/digital lock at saa7134 driver. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2009-02-17HID: move tmff and zpff devices from ignore_list to blacklistAnssi Hannula1-6/+6
The devices handled by hid-tmff and hid-zpff were added in the hid_ignore_list[] instead of hid_blacklist[] in hid-core.c, thus disabling them completely. hid_ignore_list[] causes hid layer to skip the device, while hid_blacklist[] indicates there is a specific driver in hid bus. Re-enable the devices by moving them to the correct list. Signed-off-by: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2009-02-17HID: blacklist Powercom USB UPSMichael Tokarev2-0/+4
For quite some time users with various UPSes from Powercom were forced to play magic with bind/unbind in /sys in order to be able to see the UPSes. The beasts does not work as HID devices, even if claims to do so. cypress_m8 driver works with the devices instead, creating a normal serial port with which normal UPS controlling software works. The manufacturer confirmed the upcoming models with proper HID support will have different device IDs. In any way, it's wrong to have two completely different modules for one device in kernel. Blacklist the device in HID (add it to hid_ignore_list) to stop this mess, finally. Signed-off-By: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
