2007-05-17libata: remove libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo
With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't necessary anymore. If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata warns. If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does the right thing. Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

2007-05-11libata: implement libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo
Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming, some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so this double spinning down causes problem. This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which, when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down in all cases without modifying shutdown(8). shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be dangerous data integrity-wise. So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do. * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat exists. If it does, write 0 to it. * For each libata harddisk { * Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk down as before. } The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without it. To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by hours of tireless usability testing).

Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev. Instead, set the class of i2c_adapter.dev to i2c_adapter_class, so that a symlink will be created for every i2c_adapter in /sys/class/i2c-adapter. The same change must be mirrored to i2c-isa as it duplicates some of the i2c-core functionalities. User-space tools and libraries might need some adjustments. In particular, libsensors from lm_sensors 2.10.3 or later is required for proper discovery of i2c adapter names after this change. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this: - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had. This was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node. Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away. - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to fix this problem earlier.

2006-12-07ieee1394: conditionally export ieee1394_bus_typeStefan Richter
Follow-up to patch "Consolidate driver registering": Since I plan the lifetime of Linux 2.6.20 to be the deprecation phase of CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API, it seems fair to keep all previously exported symbols available with this option until this phase is over.
