2009-03-24driver core: remove polling for driver_probe_done(v5)Ming Lei
This patch removes 100ms polling for driver_probe_done in wait_for_device_probe(), and uses wait_event() instead. Removing polling in fs initialization may lead to a faster boot. This patch also changes the return type of wait_for_device_done() from int to void. This patch is against Arjan's patch in linux-next tree.

2009-03-24sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filenameAlex Chiang
sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a duplicate file being created in sysfs. We now will display warnings such as: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs root, or: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a given directory in sysfs. The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'. Thanks to Alex Williamson for essentially writing sysfs_pathname.

2009-03-24driver-core: do not register a driver with bus_type not registeredDave Young
If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops. I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver) with 'nousb' cmdline params. In this patch: 1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd. 2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.

device_driver' This patch fixes the bug reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681. "Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong, since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver' to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early). The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann) Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Acked-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24UIO: Take offset into account when determining number of pages that can be ↵Ian Abbott
mapped If a UIO memory region does not start on a page boundary but straddles one, the number of actual pages that overlap the memory region may be calculated incorrectly because the offset isn't taken into account. If userspace sets the mmap length to offset+size, it may fail with -EINVAL if UIO thinks it's trying to allocate too many pages. Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Cc: Hans J.

2009-03-24uio: add the uio_aec driverBrandon Philips
UIO driver for the Adrienne Electronics Corporation PCI time code device. This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O ports instead of memory mapped I/O. In order to make it possible for UIO to work with this device a utility, uioport, can be used to read and write the ports. uioport is designed to be a setuid program and checks the permissions of the /dev/uio* node and if the user has write permissions it will use iopl and out*/in* to access the device.

2009-03-24UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch
If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings. Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene! To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers. The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is added there, too. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24platform: introduce module id table for platform devicesEric Miao
Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough. However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across a family of processors, even products from different companies. This makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or simply not straight-forward. Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data'). Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is defined. To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

2009-03-24driver core: check bus->match without holding device lockMing Lei
This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and does not hold device lock to check the match between a device and a driver. The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd495860901, which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd495860901 has the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long device id table (eg. usb-storage driver). This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match in all paths, and testes the match only once.

2009-03-24netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flagPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving ENOBUFS errors. Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things to the listener: a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt(). b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync. In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example: a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a given buffer size. b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization). Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down" effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following: 1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the receiver buffer. 2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0). 3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down. 4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state bit 0 is set off), goto step 1. This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer. You can find some results in [1] that show this problem. [1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/ This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in /proc/net/netlink.
