I was playing with LED triggers when I noticed that changing from heartbeat (or ide-disk) to "none" at the right moment would leave the LED stuck on. This is easy to reproduce by doing "find / >/dev/null" with the ide-disk trigger enabled and then switching to "none". Here is a patch that fixes the problem by explicitly turning the LED off after removing the existing trigger. Signed-off-by:

As we don't support hotplug we end up leaking an isa_dev reference which if unload was ever added we would drop at the end of unloading. This is fine because we do genuinely need the isa_dev pointer until unload. Signed-off-by:

The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in fact possible to build it as a module. In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was used to build vmlinux. But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to build your configs.o with a different .config. Signed-off-by:

One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; memcpy(dst, src, len); which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half. Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs done exactly because of diverged lenghts: Linux: [CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args. [PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes OpenBSD: kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4 If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such mistakes could be avoided. With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as: dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows 200+ places where kmemdup() can be used. Signed-off-by:

Add maximum latency tracking to the ALSA subsystem for PCM playback. In ALSA, the playback application controls the buffer size and thus indirectly the period of latency that it can deal with. This patch uses 75% of the total available latency as threshold to announce to the latency subsystem; While 75% is a crude heuristic it's a quite reasonable one; the remaining 25% can be used for all driver processing for the next samples which is also proportional to the size of the buffer. With ogg123 a latency setting of about 4msec was seen (at 44Khz), while with the "play" command a much longer maximum tolerable latency was seen. Other, more multimedia oriented players as well as games, will have a lot smaller buffers to allow better synchronization and those will actually get into the latency domains where there is impact on the power management rules.

Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving policies. The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings (deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm; however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide. An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100 wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of error. The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can * announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with * modify this latency * give up their constraint and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can query the current global desired maximum. This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched. A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you lose accurate time tracking after all). While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they can use.

In cases where the acpi memory-add event does not containe the pxm (node) infomation allow the driver to look up node info based on the address. The acpi_get_node call returns -1 if it can't decode the pxm info, this causes add_memory to panic. acpi_get_node would have to decode the resource from the handle (a lenghty proposition). This seems to be the cleanist point to interject the hook. [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: build fixes] [y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com: build fixes] Signed-off-by:

This fixes two things Firstly someone mistakenly used "errata" for the singular. This causes Dave Woodhouse to emit diagnostics whenever the string is read, and so should be fixed. Secondly the AMD AGP tunnel has an erratum which causes hangs if you try and do direct PCI to AGP transfers in some cases. We have a flag for PCI/PCI failures but we need a different flag for this really as in this case we don't want to stop PCI/PCI transfers using things like IOAT and the new RAID offload work. I'll post some updates to make proper use of the PCIAGP flag in the media/video drivers to Mauro. Signed-off-by:
