2008-02-07VFS: factor out three helpers for FIBMAP/FIONBIO/FIOASYNC file ioctlsErez Zadok1-54/+75
Factor out file-specific ioctl code into smaller helper functions, away from file_ioctl(). This helps code readability and also reduces indentation inside case statements.

2008-02-07VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl namesErez Zadok3-10/+24
Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules; therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl is exported in fs.h but not to modules. Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook for new vfs_ioctl.

2008-02-07DS1WM: decouple host IRQ and INTR active state settingsPhilipp Zabel2-4/+6
The DS1WM driver incorrectly infers the IAS bit (1-wire interrupt active high) from IRQ settings. There are devices that have IAS=0 but still need the IRQ to trigger on a rising edge. With this patch, machines with DS1WM that need IAS=1 have to set .active_high=1 in the ds1wm_platform_data.

2008-02-07power_supply: remove capacity_level from list of sysfs attributesThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo1-1/+0
This commit: commit 8efe444038a205e79b38b7ad03878824901849a8 Author: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net> Date: Wed Dec 12 14:12:56 2007 -0500 power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL Removed CAPACITY_LEVEL from every other code, leaving the array with sysfs attributes with one more entry than the number of enums in power_supply.h. This leads to some attributes containing the value of the attribute right after it. For example, temp_ambient would have the value of time_to_empty_now. In my case, I had time_to_full_avg have the value which should be in model_name, when the former was usually empty.

2008-02-069p: transport API reorganizationEric Van Hensbergen11-1253/+1208
This merges the mux.c (including the connection interface) with trans_fd in preparation for transport API changes. Ultimately, trans_fd will need to be rewritten to clean it up and simplify the implementation, but this reorganization is viewed as the first step.

Request from rusty: Just cleaning up patches for 2.6.25 merge, and noticed that net/9p/trans_virtio.c doesn't have a remove function. This will crash when removing the module (console doesn't have one because it can't really be removed). Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2008-02-069p: Convert semaphore to spinlock for p9_idpoolAnthony Liguori1-12/+8
When booting from v9fs, down_interruptible in p9_idpool_get() triggered a BUG as it was being called with IRQs disabled. A spinlock seems like the right thing to be using since the idr functions go out of their way not to sleep. This patch eliminates the BUG by converting the semaphore to a spinlock.

2008-02-069p: fix mmap to be read-onlyEric Van Hensbergen1-2/+2
v9fs was allowing writable mmap which could lead to kernel BUG() cases. This sets the mmap function to generic_file_readonly_mmap which (correctly) returns an error to applications which open mmap for writing. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

GDM gets unhappy if /var/gdm doesn't have the sticky bit set. This patch adds support for the sticky bit in much the same way setuid/setgid is supported.

2008-02-069p: fix bug in attach-per-userEric Van Hensbergen1-2/+2
When a new user attached at a directory other than the root, he would end up in the parent directory of the cwd. This was due to a logic error in the code which attaches the user at the mount point and walks back to the cwd. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

2008-02-06x86: make traps on entry code be debuggable in user space, 64-bitRoland McGrath1-6/+15
Unify the x86-64 behavior for 32-bit processes that set bogus %cs/%ss values (the only ones that can fault in iret) match what the native i386 behavior is. (do not kill the task via do_exit but generate a SIGSEGV signal) [ tglx@linutronix.de: build fix ] Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
