2006-01-13[PATCH] spi: simple SPI frameworkDavid Brownell
This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous wrappers on top). - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :) - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.) - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire) and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML mentions of other drivers in development. - No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare. Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs. The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor, and include: - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect. - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for DMA drivers that want to be fancy. - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is for driver support, and the board init support uses static init. - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk who've helped nudge this framework into existence. As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support that this driver framework will need to evolve. From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com> Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.

2006-01-13[PATCH] Increase AT_VECTOR_SIZEPaul Mackerras
On PowerPC, we want to be able to provide an AT_PLATFORM aux table entry to userspace, so that glibc can choose optimized libraries for the processor we're running on. Unfortunately that would be the 21st aux table entry on powerpc, meaning that the aux table including the terminating null entry would overflow the mm->saved_auxv[] array, leading to userland programs segfaulting. This increases the size of the mm->saved_auxv array to be large enough to accommodate an AT_PLATFORM entry on powerpc.

2006-01-13[PATCH] Fix oops in ufs_fill_super at mount timeEvgeniy
There's a lack of parenthesis in fs/ufs/utils.h, so instead of the 512th byte of buffer, the usb2 pointer will point to the nth structure of type ufs_super_block_second. This can cause a mount-time oops if you're unlucky (especially with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is how Alexey Dobriyan saw this problem) Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@mail.ru> Acked-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-12[PATCH] via-velocity: use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM (hardware only support IPv4)John W. Linville
At least some versions of the via-velocity hardware only support checksumming IPv4 frames in hardware. However, the driver is currently setting the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag, which indicates support for more than just IPv4. This results in errors when trying to use IPv6 over via-velocity hardware.

2006-01-12[PATCH] bonding: UPDATED hash-table corruption in bond_alb.cJay Vosburgh
I believe I see the race Michael refers to (tlb_choose_channel may set head, which tlb_init_slave clears), although I was not able to reproduce it. I have updated his patch for the current netdev-2.6.git tree and added a version update. His original comment follows: Our systems have been crashing during testing of PCI HotPlug support in the various networking components. We've faulted in the bonding driver due to a bug in bond_alb.c:tlb_clear_slave() In that routine, the last modification to the TLB hash table is made without protection of the lock, allowing a race that can lead tlb_choose_channel() to select an invalid table element. -J Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2006-01-12[PATCH] wireless/atmel: add IWENCODEEXT, IWAUTH, and association event supportDan Williams
This patch allows the Atmel driver to work correctly with wpa_supplicant and other programs that require some conformance with WEXT-18. It should not affect current behavior of the driver. The patch does four things: 1) Implements SIOCSIWENCODEEXT, SIOCGIWENCODEEXT, SIOCSIWAUTH, and SIOCGIWAUTH calls for unencrypted and WEP operation 2) Accepts zero-filled addresses for SIOCSIWAP, which are legal and should turn off any previous forced WAP address 3) Sends association and de-association events to userspace at most of the appropriate times 4) Fixes erroneous order of CIPHER_SUITE_WEP_* arguments in one location which are actually unused anyway Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

2006-01-12[PATCH] corruption during e100 MDI register accessODonnell, Michael
We have identified two related bugs in the e100 driver. Both bugs are related to manipulation of the MDI control register. The first problem is that the Ready bit is being ignored when writing to the Control register; we noticed this because the Linux bonding driver would occasionally come to the spurious conclusion that the link was down when querying Link State. It turned out that by failing to wait for a previous command to complete it was selecting what was essentially a random register in the MDI register set. When we added code that waits for the Ready bit (as shown in the patch file below) all such problems ceased. The second problem is that, although access to the MDI registers involves multiple steps which must not be intermixed, nothing was defending against two or more threads attempting simultaneous access. The most obvious situation where such interference could occur involves the watchdog versus ioctl paths, but there are probably others, so we recommend the locking shown in our patch file.

2006-01-12[ARM] Allow r2 to be passed through the decompressor to the kernelRussell King
This is part of a patch from Marc Singer to allow r2 to be passed to the kernel. Marc's original comments follow: This revised R2 (atags pointer) patch incorporates comments from Nico Pitre and Ben Dooks. It modifies the head.S files such that the R2 value set by the bootloader is conveyed to the kernel startup code. The kernel head.S heuristically validates the pointer. It will set R2 to zero if it believes the pointer is invalid. Presently, it requires that the ATAGS list reside in the first 16KiB of physical RAM. Relaxing this contraint may be both desirable as well as tricky. Signed-off-by: Marc Singer <elf@buici.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
