Add a section count property to the memory_block struct to track the number of memory sections that have been added/removed from a memory block. This allows us to know when the last memory section of a memory block has been removed so we can remove the memory block.

This driver supports iLO, iLO2 and iLO3. However, comments and Kconfig reference only iLO and iLO2. Let's just call it "iLO" to avoid having to update strings for each iLO generation.

Modify link_mem_sections() to pass in the previous mem_block as a hint to locating the next mem_block. Since they are typically added in order this results in a massive saving in time during boot of a very large system. For example, on a 16TB x86_64 machine, it reduced the total time spent linking all node's memory sections from 1 hour, 27 minutes to 46 seconds.

One call chain getting to kset_find_obj is: link_mem_sections() find_mem_section() kset_find_obj() This is done during boot. The memory sections were added in a linearly increasing order and link_mem_sections tends to utilize them in that same linear order. Introduce a kset_find_obj_hinted which is passed the result of the previous kset_find_obj which it uses for a quick "is the next object our desired object" check before falling back to the old behavior.

bb->vm_ops is a cached copy of the vm_ops of the underlying sysfs bin file, which means that after sysfs_bin_remove_file completes it is only longer valid to deference bb->vm_ops.

It is not reasonably possible to wrap vma->close(). To correctly wrap close would imply calling close on any vmas that remain when sysfs_remove_bin_file is called. Finding the proper lists walking them getting the locking right etc, requires deep knowledge of the mm subsystem and as such would require assistence from the mm subsystem to implement. That assistence does not currently exist. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Fix kconfig dependency warning for FW_LOADER. Lots of drivers select FW_LOADER without bothering to depend on HOTPLUG and/or without selecting HOTPLUG. A kernel builds fine when FW_LOADER is enabled, whether HOTPLUG is enabled or not, and a kernel config file (make oldconfig) is not changed by this patch.

Instead of adding uio class attributes manually after the uio device has been created and we have sent a uevent to userspace, use the class attribute mechanism. This removes races and makes the code simpler. At the same time don't bother to dynamically allocate a struct class for uio, just declare one statically. Less code is needed and it is easier to set the class parameters.tune the class Signed-off-by: Eric W.

register_chrdev limits uio devices to 256 minor numbers which causes problems on one system I have with 384+ uio devices. So instead set UIO_MAX_DEVICES to the maximum number of minors and use alloc_chrdev_region to reserve the uio minors. The final result is that the code works the same but the uio driver now supports any minor the idr allocator comes up with. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Andi Kleen authored
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

Anton Vorontsov authored
Some users of platform_device_add_{data,resources}() assume that NULL data and resources will be handled specially, i.e. just ignored. But the platform core ends up calling kmemdup(NULL, 0, ...), which returns a non-NULL result (i.e. ZERO_SIZE_PTR), which causes drivers to oops on a valid code, something like: if (platform_data) stuff = platform_data->stuff; This patch makes the platform core a bit more safe for such cases.

Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH Topcliff PCH is the platform controller hub that is going to be used in Intel's upcoming general embedded platform. All IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH are actually devices sitting on AMBA bus. Packet hub is a special converter device in Topcliff PCH that translate AMBA transactions to PCI Express transactions and vice versa. Thus packet hub helps present all IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH as PCIE devices to IA system. Topcliff PCH has MAC address and Option ROM data. These data are in SROM which is connected to PCIE bus. Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH can access MAC address and Option ROM data in SROM via sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code can override them. The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary. Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the dev_pm_ops methods at runtime. NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should be removed from drivers/base/platform.c. AFAIK, this will only affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this runtime approach instead of the weak symbols. After SH & sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed. Tested on OMAP3.

Having the ddebug_query= boot parameter it makes sense to set up dynamic debug as soon as possible. I expect sysfs files cannot be set up via an arch_initcall, because this one is even before fs_initcall. Therefore I splitted the dynamic_debug_init function into an early one and a later one providing /sys/../dynamic_debug/control file. Possibly dynamic_debug can be initialized even earlier, not sure whether this still makes sense then. I picked up arch_initcall as it covers quite a lot already. Dynamic debug needs to allocate memory, therefore it's not easily possible to set it up even before the command line gets parsed. Therefore the boot param query string is stored in a temp string which is applied when dynamic debug gets set up. This has been tested with ddebug_query="file ec.c +p" and I could retrieve pr_debug() messages early at boot during ACPI setup: ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: transaction start ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80 ACPI: EC: ~~~> interrupt ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: <--- data = 0xa4 ...

Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time. One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks. This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param. When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be applied.

If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all, blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write() but the entire guest itself. To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given back the virtio ring element we passed it. Instead, send the buffer to the host and return to userspace. This operation then becomes similar to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this path as well. This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return -EAGAIN to userspace.
