As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2, alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary. arch/s390/kernel/topology.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

Some macros in pgtable.h access members from struct task_struct. Currently always works since sched.h seems always to be included before asm/pgtable.h. Unfortunately that is not anymore true with Jeremy Fitzhardinge's ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction patch. So fix this. Signed-off-by:

Add support for new micro code load of CEX2C and CEX2A adapters, which uses different IDs. This patch just adds the IDs to the existing drivers. Signed-off-by:

Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL command line using the IPL PARM option. If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute 'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot. Examples: IPL C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1 IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm Signed-off-by:

The ap poll mechanism is converted to use a high-resolution timer for polling. This allows more specific polling. With this a new sysfs attribute is introduced to specify the polling rate in nanoseconds. Signed-off-by:

Fix a number of sclp_vt220 cleanup problems: * fix list_empty check after list_del() * mark init-only flag as __initdata * remove implicit dependency between slab_available() and num_pages * straighten multiple init handling (use init count) Signed-off-by:

The idle notifier chain consists of at most one element. So there's no point in having a notifier chain. Remove it and directly call the function. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a driver for subchannels of type chsc. A device /dev/chsc is created which may be used to issue ioctls to: - obtain information about the machine's I/O configuration - dynamically change the machine's I/O configuration via asynchronous chsc commands Signed-off-by:

Passing the affected chpid in chp_event() worked only by chance since chpid is the first element in res_acc_data. Make it work properly by generalizing res_acc_data as chp_link and always passing around a properly filled out chp_link structure in chp_event(). Signed-off-by:

Enhance the adapter interruption API so that device drivers can register a handler for a specific interruption subclass. This will allow different device drivers to move to differently prioritized subclasses in order to avoid congestion. Signed-off-by:

Replace the numeric values for I/O interruption subclass usage with abstract definitions and collect them all in asm/isc.h. This gives us a better overview of which iscs are actually used and makes it possible to better spread out isc usage in the future. Signed-off-by:

In case the initrd is located within the bss section it will be overwritten when the section is cleared. To prevent this just move the initrd right behind the bss section if it starts within the section. The current code already moves the initrd if the bootmem allocator bitmap would overwrite it. With this patch we should be safe against initrd corruptions. Cc: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

If qdio shutdown runs in parallel with a channel error, the qdio_timeout_handler might not be triggered. In this case neither state INACTIVE nor state ERR is reached and the following wait_event hangs forever. Solution: do not make use of ccw_device_set_timeout(), but add a timeout to the following wait_event. And make sure, wake_up is called in case of an i/o error on the qdio-device. Signed-off-by:
