This patch is an attempt to cope with Genesys Logic's, shall we say, creative approach to implementing the USB protocols. Their high-speed mass storage devices sometimes add an excess 0-length packet to the end of a data phase transmission. Of course we don't read that packet as part of the data phase; we see it as a 0-length CSW message. The real CSW follows immediately after. (Or sometimes a STALL follows immediately after, with the real CSW coming after that!) The patch checks the results of the first attempt to read the CSW. If it sees a normal packet (not a STALL) with length 0, it retries the read. Reports from two users indicate that it improves the performance of their USB-2 DVD drives.

Contrary to the UHCI specification document, in real controllers the "HC Halted" bit in the status register cannot be cleared by writing a 1. It will persist for as long as the controller is halted. Hence the bit needs to be masked away before checking whether or not the controller initiated an interrupt. Without this patch, other devices sharing the same IRQ line might not get serviced while the host controller is suspended, because the always-on status bit would cause the UHCI driver to report that it had handled the interrupt.

This patch is an amalgam of 9 contributions from Stephen Hemminger. It begins the process of straightening out the use of semaphores and locking in the UHCI driver by removing unneeded irqsaves and irqrestores. It also removes an unnecessary list node and makes a couple of other small changes. clear_next_interrupt only called in IRQ context don't need irqsave/restore Since uhci_finish_completion is only called from IRQ routine, the irqsave/irqrestore is redundant and unnecessary. UHCI transfer_result is only called from IRQ context so irqsave/restore is unnecessary here. uhci_finish_urb is always called from irq so no need for irqsave/irqrestore. uhci_add_complete only called from IRQ context The complete_list element in the urb private data is redundant, since it is only used when the urb is on the complete list. And given the state transitions, an urb can't be on the complete list and any other list (remove, or urb_list). Therefore just use urb_list to link the complete_list Use list_move_tail to move between remove (or urb_list) and the complete_list. Save irq state in uhci_stop so that the irqsave/irqrestore's in all the free_pending and remove_pending code can be eliminated. Since uhci_stop now saves IRQ state, the free/remove pending routines no longer need irqsave/irqrestore.

Also included in this patch: change some confusing references from "high speed" to "full speed" and add proper hyphenation.

This patch evens out the distribution of interrupt transfers for the UHCI driver. It insures that no frame must handle interrupt queues for more than two different periods, thus improving the bandwidth utilization. It also simplifies the initialization code by replacing a multi-nested "if" statement with a simple bit-operation (thanks to Eric Piel for suggesting this approach).

This patch removes an unneeded "status" field from the UHCI driver's URB-private data structure. The driver had been storing the status of completed URBs there rather than in the URBs themselves. This not only is wasteful of space but is also a cause of bugs, since the USB core relies on urb->status for proper synchronization with the driver. The patch also takes care of a number of small things that have been bugging me for ages: Close a small loophole by allowing an URB to be unlinked even before the uhci_urb_enqueue() procedure has started. Remove some fossil code from back when interrupt URBs were automagically resubmitted. Giveback unlinked URBs in the order they were unlinked. Don't set urb->status for dequeued URBs; the core has already set it for us. Rename uhci_remove_pending_qhs to uhci_remove_pending_urbps. (That has _really_ bothered me!)

- swapRGB is already initialized to 0 - change "swapRGB_on == 1" to match in-source documentation - submit urb with GFP_ATOMIC (interrupt context) - this made driver unusable because of "might_sleep" messages. - group some "case"s - release vdev on fail - remove "kfree(0)" checking

This patch adds a couple of new PIDs for the ftdi_sio driver and changes the name of the USB-UIRT device to avoid the "/" character, as that appears as a directory separator in the sysfs namespace.

The line that IMHO triggers the bug is this: "writecount += usblp->writeurb->transfer_buffer_length;" It uses "usblp->writeurb->transfer_buffer_length" before initializing it, assuming that it will be zero on the first run. If it is not zero, but instead random *negative* garbage from memory, the loop will start printing endless data from user-space data.

Move ide-dma.c:__ide_dma_off() outside of #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI, so it can be used for all DMA capable hosts. Remove ide_hwif_t->ide_dma_off.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
->ide_dma_count() was introduced in kernel 2.5.35 and was meant to add support for host FIFO counters (for VDMA), but is only a wrapper for ->ide_dma_begin() (even for siimage.c b/c SIIMAGE_VIRTUAL_DMAPIO is undefined). Moreover it should be possible to add VDMA code directly to ->ide_dma_begin().

Use __ide_dma_{good,bad}_drive() directly and remove these wrappers.

I see only pros of removing OnStream support: - SCSI osst.c driver is actively maintained by Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org> - there is no functionality loss (OnStream IDE drives don't support DSC) - ide-tape.c driver is too ugly & complicated even without OnStream support - long term benefits (2.7.x plans on unifying storage drivers)

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch changes the mode bits on the selinuxfs enforce node so that non-root processes can read it. This is necessary to allow non-root userspace policy enforcers to check the enforcing flag upon a permission failure as well. A process must still have the appropriate SELinux permission in order to read the node.

Andrew Morton authored
From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch implements context mount support within SELinux. Three new mount options are provided: context=%s Label the entire filesystem with the specified security context during mount and change the labeling behavior to 'mountpoint labeling'. The /proc/self/attr/fscreate attribute will be ignored for file creation on the filesystem, although policy-specified transitions will still work normally. This also sets the aggregate filesystem security context. fscontext=%s Set the label of the aggregate filesystem to the specified security context, so that SELinux policy controls over the filesystem itself may be reinstated. Only works for filesystems without EA labeling support, and is not valid if 'context' has been specified. defcontext=%s Set the default security context for files created in this filesystem to the specified security context (as opposed to the current global default). Only works for filesystems without EA labeling support, and is not valid if 'context' has been specified. To set the context or fscontext options, the security policy must specify appropriate permissions for the filesystem relabelfrom and filesystem relabelto controls. For the defcontext option, the filesystem relablefrom and filesystem assoicate controls are invoked. The security mount options are parsed out and stripped from the normal mount option data so that no normal filesystems need to be aware of them. Filesystems with binary mount option data (e.g. NFS, SMBFS, AFS, Coda) need to be handled as special cases: only NFS is supprted at this stage per the previous patch.

Andrew Morton authored
From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch modifies the kernel's NFS mount data structure to include SELinux context mount data. It allows NFS fileystems to be labeled on a per-mountpoint basis, and should not affect existing versions of userspace mount. (A patch to the userspace mount code is available at http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/context_mounts/)

Andrew Morton authored
From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This series of patches adds support for SELinux 'context mounts', which allows filesystems to be assigned security context information at mount time. For example, some filesystems do not support extended attributes (e.g. NFS, vfat), and this feature allows security contexts to be assigned to them on a per-mountpoint basis. It is also useful when the existing labeling on a filesystem is untrusted or unwanted for some reason (e.g. removable media), and needs to be overridden with a safe default. The first patch below consists of infrastructure changes to the kernel: - A new LSM hook has been added, sb_copy_data, which allows the security module to copy security-specific mount data once the superblock has been setup by the filesystem. - The sb_kern_mount hook has been modified to take this security data as a parameter, and would typically be used at that point to configure the security parameters of the filesystem being mounted. - Allocation and freeing of the security data has been implemented in the core fs code as it is cleaner than trying to do it purely via LSM hooks, and should make maintenance easier. This code will be compiled away if LSM is not enabled.

This adds a limit on how much of the framebuffer is ioremap'ed by radeonfb, thus enabling it to work with 128Mb VRAM or more on an x86 with 900Mb of lowmem in the linear mapping. It also adds a significant amount of debug messages and adds a CONFIG option to enable the debugging output, that should help with diagnosing new problems. Among others, it dumps the connector info as I understand them (so far, they give "strange" informations on laptops, I need more data on more various laptops to see if there's a pattern I can really use to figure out on which connector the LVDS is) Regarding the "lid closed at boot", ultimately, we may want to default to the VGA output in those cases, though I'm not sure what logic to use here. Maybe we could standardize some way for the platform to provide this "environment" information to the driver, but i wouldn't rely on it. More reliably, if we can find out that there is an LVDS output, and LVDS is disabled, just ignore the flat panel... We could assume any mobility chip has LVDS, which is true, but that would still cause a problem for laptops with an additional DVI output (only Macs so far afaik).

This makes fbcon ask for notification of events from fbdev to deal with suspend/resume (stop cursor on suspend, refresh screen on resume). Could probably do more (like dealing better with the cursor timer), but this simple implementation works fine enough for now.
-
Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
This adds some "state" information for power management to fbdev's, along with a notifier mecanism to inform clients of state changes. It also "uses" this mecanism in the function fb_set_suspend() which was an empty placeholder previously, and "shields" various places that access the HW when state isn't running. (It's best to not call them in the first place, but the current state of fbcon makes that _very_ difficult)

This updates the aty128fb driver. It adds more PCI IDs, uses the new framebuffer alloc/release functions, make BIOS PLL data access more reliable (using ROM whenever possible, with a fallback to RAM BIOS image), cleanup the Power Management stuff (get rid of PowerMac specific stuffs, use real PCI ones instead), along with some style cleanups

This removes the broken locking code in the pixmaps, and rewrite the buffer access function to properly call fb_sync when needed. The old broken loocking is useless as we are covered by the console semaphore in all cases hopefully (except if I missed one :)
