- fix broken IBM cyclone time interpolator support - add support for cyclic timers through an addition of a mask in the timer interpolator structure - Allow time_interpolator_update() and time_interpolator_get_offset() to be invoked without an active time interpolator (necessary since the cyclone clock is initialized late in ACPI processing) - remove obsolete function time_interpolator_resolution() - add a mask to all struct time_interpolator setups in the kernel - Make time interpolators work on 32bit platforms Signed-off-by:

Move hotplug_path[] out of kmod.[ch] to kobject_uevent.[ch] where it belongs now. At some time in the future we should fix the remaining bad hotplug calls (no SEQNUM, no netlink uevent): ./drivers/input/input.c (no DEVPATH on some hotplug events!) ./drivers/pnp/pnpbios/core.c ./drivers/s390/crypto/z90main.c Signed-off-by:

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Currently the device_pm_foo() functions are rather prone to deadlocks during suspend/resume. This is because the dpm_sem is held for the duration of device_suspend() and device_resume() as well as device_pm_add() and device_pm_remove(). If for any reason you get a device addition or removal triggered by a device's suspend or resume code, you get a deadlock. (The classic example is a USB host adaptor resuming and discovering that the mouse you used to have plugged in has gone away.) This patch fixes the problem by using a separate semaphore, called dpm_list_sem, to cover the places where we need the device pm lists to be stable, and by being careful about how we traverse the lists on suspend and resume. I have analysed the various cases that can occur and I am confident that I have handled them all correctly. I posted this patch together with a detailed analysis 10 days ago.

From: Simon Derr <Simon.Derr@bull.net> - fixes the race between threads by adding a semaphore in sysfs_buffer - allocates the buffer upon call to pread(). We still call again fill_read_buffer() if the file is "rewinded" to offset zero. - fixes the comparison in flush_read_buffer(). Signed-off-by:

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> o This patch stops the pinning of non-directory or leaf dentries and inodes. The leaf dentries and inodes are created during lookup based on the entries on sysfs_dirent tree. These leaves are removed from the dcache through the VFS dentry ageing process during shrink dcache operations. Thus reducing about 80% of sysfs lowmem needs. o This implments the ->lookup() for sysfs directory inodes and allocates dentry and inode if the lookup is successful and avoids the need of allocating and pinning of dentry and inodes during the creation of corresponding sysfs leaf entry. As of now the implementation has not required negative dentry creation on failed lookup. As sysfs is still a RAM based filesystem, negative dentries are not of any use IMO. o The leaf dentry allocated after successful lookup is connected to the existing corresponding sysfs_dirent through the d_fsdata field.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> o This patch implements the sysfs_dir_operations file_operations strucutre for sysfs directories. It uses the sysfs_dirent based tree for ->readdir() and ->lseek() methods instead of simple_dir_operations which use dentry based tree. Signed-off-by:

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> o This patch uses the sysfs_dirent based tree while removing sysfs files and directories. This avoids holding dcache_lock by not using dentry based vfs tree. Thus simplyfying the removal logic in sysfs. o It uses two helper routines sysfs_get_name(), to get the name for sysfs element and sysfs_drop_dentry() to delete the dentry given a sysfs_dirent.

Andrew Morton authored
From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> o This patch introduces the new sysfs_dirent data structure. The sysfs_dirent is added to the dentry corresponding to each of the element which can be represented in sysfs like, kobject (directory), text or binary attributes (files), attribute groups (directory) and symlinks. o It uses dentry's d_fsdata field to attach the corresponding sysfs_dirent. o The sysfs_dirents are maintained in a tree of all the sysfs entries using the s_children and s_sibling list pointers. o This patch also changes how we access attributes and kobjects in file_operations from a given dentry, basically introducing one more level of indirection. o The sysfs_dirents are freed and the sysfs_dirent tree is updated accordingly upon the deletion of corresponding dentry. The sysfs dirents are kept alive as long as there is corresponding dentry around. The are freed when the dentry is finally out of dcache using the ->d_iput() method. o This also fixes the dentry leaks in case of error paths after sysfs has got a newly alocated (and hashed) dentry from sysfs_get_dentry() by d_drop()'ing the dentry.
