sysfs: add struct file* to bin_attr callbacks

2010-05-21T16:37:31+00:00

This allows bin_attr->read,write,mmap callbacks to check file specific data (such as inode owner) as part of any privilege validation. Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware loader: do not allocate firmare id separately

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

fw_id has the same life time as firmware_priv so it makes sense to move it into firmware_priv structure instead of allocating separately. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware loader: split out builtin firmware handling

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

Split builtin firmware handling into separate functions to clean up the main body of code. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware loader: rely on driver core to create class attribute

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

Do not create 'timeout' attribute manually, let driver core do it for us. This also ensures that attribute is cleaned up properly. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware class: export nowait to userspace

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

When we use request_firmware_nowait(), userspace may not want to answer negatively right away when for example it is answering from an initrd only, but with request_firmware() it has to in order to not delay the kernel boot until the request times out. This allows userspace to differentiate between the two in order to be able to reply negatively to async requests only when all filesystems have been mounted and have been checked for the requested firmware file.

Driver core: Reduce the level of request_firmware() messages

2010-05-21T16:37:29+00:00

The messages from _request_firmware() informing that firmware is being requested or built-in firmware is going to be used are printed at KERN_INFO, which produces lots of noise on systems with huge numbers of AMD CPUs. Reduce the level of these messages to KERN_DEBUG to get rid of that noise. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware_class: fix memory leak - free allocated pages

2010-05-21T16:37:28+00:00

fix memory leak introduced by the patch 6e03a201bbe: firmware: speed up request_firmware() 1. vfree won't release pages there were allocated explicitly and mapped using vmap. The memory has to be vunmap-ed and the pages needs to be freed explicitly 2. page array is moved into the 'struct firmware' so that we can free it from release_firmware() and not only in fw_dev_release() The fix doesn't break the firmware load speed.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
