2009-08-01thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh1-127/+0
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently broken anyway... Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely, but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers, either. That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong enough reason to find a way to fix this code. Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3 support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is indeed useful for them.

2009-07-29sysrq, kdump: make sysrq-c consistentHidetoshi Seto1-3/+4
commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

2009-07-16netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack_alloc() fixesEric Dumazet1-1/+6
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-06-30spi: new spi->mode bitsDavid Brownell1-1/+9
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and pass them through to usermode drivers: * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still full duplex. This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state transitions with the SPI master. * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal 4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus each of the 3-wire flavors). Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not many host controllers support it today. The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support (unlike SPI_READY).

2009-06-26kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak fileCatalin Marinas1-2/+7
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now).

2009-06-26kmemleak: Simplify the reports logged by the scanning threadCatalin Marinas1-3/+3
Because of false positives, the memory scanning thread may print too much information. This patch changes the scanning thread to only print the number of newly suspected leaks. Further information can be read from the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2009-06-25kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.Catalin Marinas1-0/+4
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

2009-06-24Revert "PCI: use ACPI _CRS data by default"Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This reverts commit 9e9f46c44e487af0a82eb61b624553e2f7118f5b. Quoting from the commit message: "At this point, it seems to solve more problems than it causes, so let's try using it by default. It's an easy revert if it ends up causing trouble." And guess what? The _CRS code causes trouble. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
