2005-09-05[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+deviceHugh Dickins1-8/+7
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all, is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split. The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series). valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere overhead in the common case of a single swap device. So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock (generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro). If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as to help the case of the single swap device too.

2005-08-31[SERIAL] Clean up and fix tty transmission start/stopingRussell King1-11/+4
The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a feature.) There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would allow the transmitter to drain before stopping. There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters to send. Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and allow transmitter to drain" case.

no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets (like some VIA) with these behaviors: 1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force it to 0, to reenable (not recommended). 2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c Thanks to Bodo Eggert <7eggert@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@brturbo.com.br> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

- Fixed some bttv card numbers. - BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes. - pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c - Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for saa7134-i2c.c - It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c - Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c - Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c - Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module: show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners. - BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module: 0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated. VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still requiring IOCTL implementation. - Added two more tuners. - Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.
