Due to historical reasons, em28xx driver gets two consecutive frames and
fold them into an unique framing, doing interlacing. While this works
fine for TV images, this produces two bad effects with webcams:
1) webcam images are progressive. Merging two consecutive images produce
interlacing artifacts on the image;
2) since the driver needs to get two frames, it reduces the maximum
frame rate by two.

As reported by hermann pitton <hermann-pitton@arcor.de>, some devices
has a different chip id for em2710 (likely the older ones):
em28xx: New device @ 480 Mbps (eb1a:2710, interface 0, class 0)
em28xx #0: Identified as EM2710/EM2750/EM2751 webcam grabber (card=22)
em28xx #0: em28xx chip ID = 17

em28xx doesn't have temporal scaling. However, on webcams, sensors are
capable of changing the output rate. So, VIDIOC_[G|S]_PARM ioctls should
be passed to the sensor for it to properly set frame rate.

Implement g_parm/s_parm ioctls. Those are used to check the current
frame rate (in fps) and to set it to a value. In practice, there are
only 15 possible different speeds, due to chip limits.

A user discovered that the Geniatech x8000 encountered a regression when
the xc3028 power management was introduced. The xc3028 never recovers after
setting the powerdown register, which is probably because the xc3028 reset
GPIO is not properly configured. Since I do not have access to the hardware
and thus cannot determine the correct GPIO configuration, just disable xc3028
power management on this board, which fixes the regression.
Thanks to user "ritec" for reporting the issue and testing the fix.

Fixes stack corruption bug present in dump_regs function of zl10353 and
qt1010 drivers: the buffer buf was one byte smaller than required -
there are 4 chars for address prefix, 16 * 3 chars for dump of 16 eeprom
bytes per line and 1 byte for zero ending the string required, i.e. 53
bytes, but only 52 were provided.
The one byte missing in stack based buffer buf can cause stack

kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.
Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the
protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols.
Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not
likely.

A bug in (9f498cc: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.
[ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ]
# ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236)

0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)
Shows us that the test (27d028d perf report: Update for the new
FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:
/*
* A thread clone will have the same PID for both
* parent and child.
*/
if (thread == parent)
return 0;
Will clearly fail.
The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
parent, instead of the cloning thread.
Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
# ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)
0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590)
0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590)
0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)
Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report
anymore.

perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.
Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
disables as well.
This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
pending queue gets processed.

perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot
use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock,
this is unintended.
The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not
worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU
traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event().
This also fixes the hard lockups while opening a lockdep

r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r

This makes sure that the platform devices are
registered a bit earlier so the devices are

Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races. But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.
If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.
So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.
The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.
It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.
For 'reducing', we need to invert the test. For no-change we cannot
really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
starts such arrays works.

When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
counts as long as the difference is only '1'. This is to cope with
a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
devices.
However there are currently times when we update the event count by
2. This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
This is bad for the above reason. So change it to never increase by
two. This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
small cost. The spares will get a few more updates but that will
still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
mismatch.

Remove double removal of blktrace directory
|
|
commit fd51d251e4cdb21f68e9dbc4336514d64a105a79
Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Tue May 19 09:59:08 2009 +0200
blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in
blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.
With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
previously I could not get a single run to complete.
The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and
so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
should not rely upon that feature.)
