Summary of changes: - fixes: o legacy I/O region size is 64 bytes, not 8 bytes - general cleanup: o removed code for the unsupported I2C block data, block data, proc call and block proc call transfer modes o removed detail warnings about unsupported modes that are covered in a general warning (unsupported transaction...) anyway o removed necessity of a definition of struct i2c_adapter o moved definition of struct i2c_algorithm, making forward declarations of nforce2_access and nforce2_func unnecessary - minor changes: o in the description mention the nForce 5xx chipsets o changes my e-mail address in MODULE_AUTHOR Theses cleanups shrink the driver binary size from 4.0 kB to 2.7 kB on i386.

2006-12-10[PATCH] spi: stabilize PIO mode transfers on PXA2xx systemsStephen Street
Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues. 1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences. 2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions. 3) Setup function broken is multiple ways. 4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers. 5) False positive timeout are not errors. 6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup. 7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP. 8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading. Known issues: SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled. Testing: This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word, random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves (3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test. It is robust in PIO mode, using any combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which internally computes the thresholds). Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing. The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

2006-12-10V4L/DVB (4887): Remove the broken VIDEO_ZR36120 driverAdrian Bunk
The VIDEO_ZR36120 driver has: - already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and - is still marked as BROKEN. Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future. But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still present in the older kernel releases.

2006-12-08[PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filteringAkinobu Mita
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature. The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are interested in. For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call, but also indirect allocation, too. - e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone --> kmem_cache_alloc This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh helps it. The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be [/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text) So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth. Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation failures only for a specific module in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt [dwm@meer.net: reject failure if any caller lies within specified range] Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <dwm@meer.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-08[PATCH] fault injection: documentation and scriptsAkinobu Mita
This patch set provides some fault-injection capabilities. - kmalloc() failures - alloc_pages() failures - disk IO errors We can see what really happens if those failures happen. In order to enable these fault-injection capabilities: 1. Enable relevant config options (CONFIG_FAILSLAB, CONFIG_PAGE_ALLOC, CONFIG_MAKE_REQUEST) and if you want to configure them via debugfs, enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS. 2. Build and boot with this kernel 3. Configure fault-injection capabilities behavior by boot option or debugfs - Boot option failslab= fail_page_alloc= fail_make_request= - Debugfs /debug/failslab/* /debug/fail_page_alloc/* /debug/fail_make_request/* Please refer to the Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt for details. 4.

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Allow hot system interface removeCorey Minyard
This modifies the IPMI driver so that a lower-level interface can be dynamically removed while in use so it can support hot-removal of hardware. It also adds the ability to specify and dynamically change the IPMI interface the watchdog timer and the poweroff code use.

2006-12-07[PATCH] add ignore_loglevel boot optionIngo Molnar
Sometimes the kernel prints something interesting while userspace bootup keeps messages turned off via loglevel. Enable the printing of /all/ kernel messages via the "ignore_loglevel" boot option. Off by default. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync()Ralf Baechle
Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync() dma_cache_sync() is ill-designed in that it does not have a struct device pointer argument which makes proper support for systems that consist of a mix of coherent and non-coherent DMA devices hard. Change dma_cache_sync to take a struct device pointer as first argument and fix all its callers to pass it.

Change dma_is_consistent to take a struct device pointer as first argument and fix the sole caller to pass it.
