2009-03-24Driver core: Fix device_move() vs. dpm list ordering, v2Cornelia Huck2-1/+13
dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered one. This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

2009-03-24Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei2-1/+11
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

2009-03-24vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"Kay Sievers1-2/+2
During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless. A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m1.142s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.540s If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m0.152s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.072s Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24driver core: move platform_data into platform_deviceMing Lei2-2/+8
This patch moves platform_data from struct device into struct platform_device, based on the two ideas: 1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-03-24UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch1-0/+4
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 Miao2-0/+15
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().

2009-03-24netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flagPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+1
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.

2009-03-24usb-storage: prepare for subdriver separationAlan Stern1-17/+4
This patch (as1206) is the first step in converting usb-storage's subdrivers into separate modules. It makes the following large-scale changes: Remove a bunch of unnecessary #ifdef's from usb_usual.h. Not truly necessary, but it does clean things up. Move the USB device-ID table (which is duplicated between libusual and usb-storage) into its own source file, usual-tables.c, and arrange for this to be linked with either libusual or usb-storage according to whether USB_LIBUSUAL is configured. Add to usual-tables.c a new usb_usual_ignore_device() function to detect whether a particular device needs to be managed by a subdriver and not by the standard handlers in usb-storage. Export a whole bunch of functions in usb-storage, renaming some of them because their names don't already begin with "usb_stor_". These functions will be needed by the new subdriver modules. Split usb-storage's probe routine into two functions. The subdrivers will call the probe1 routine, then fill in their transport and protocol settings, and then call the probe2 routine. Take the default cases and error checking out of get_transport() and get_protocol(), which run during probe1, and instead put a check for invalid transport or protocol values into the probe2 function. Add a new probe routine to be used for standard devices, i.e., those that don't need a subdriver. This new routine checks whether the device should be ignored (because it should be handled by ub or by a subdriver), and if not, calls the probe1 and probe2 functions.

Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause starvation of the first submitted requests. The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking compatibility with it is OK at this stage. sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just in case.

The include/linux/genhd.h file, on line 338-352 declares some function prototypes in which the comment on line 338 states that the definition of these prototypes are to be found at drivers/block/genhd.c. The problem is that genhd.c has been relocated to block/genhd.c. See attached patch to correct this minor cosmetic typo.
