potential parse error in ifdef

2007-06-01T15:18:27+00:00

I have made a tool to parse the kernel that does not pre-process the source. That means that my parser tries to parse all the code, including code in the #else branch or code that is not often compiled because the driver is not very used (or not used at all). So, my parser sometimes reports parse error not originally detected by gcc. Here is my (first) patch.

mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

2007-05-07T19:12:51+00:00

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PCI: Cleanup the includes of

2007-05-03T02:02:35+00:00

I noticed that many source files include while they do not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up. In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all files including but without any other occurence of "pci" or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the false positives manually. My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false positives remaining. Untested files are: arch/alpha/kernel/err_common.c arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev6.c arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev7.c arch/ia64/sn/kernel/huberror.c arch/ia64/sn/kernel/xpnet.c arch/m68knommu/kernel/dma.c arch/mips/lib/iomap.c arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c arch/ppc/8260_io/enet.c arch/ppc/8260_io/fcc_enet.c arch/ppc/8xx_io/enet.c arch/ppc/syslib/ppc4xx_sgdma.c arch/sh64/mach-cayman/iomap.c arch/xtensa/kernel/xtensa_ksyms.c arch/xtensa/platform-iss/setup.c drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c drivers/media/video/saa711x.c drivers/misc/hdpuftrs/hdpu_cpustate.c drivers/misc/hdpuftrs/hdpu_nexus.c drivers/net/au1000_eth.c drivers/net/fec_8xx/fec_main.c drivers/net/fec_8xx/fec_mii.c drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c drivers/net/fs_enet/mac-fcc.c drivers/net/fs_enet/mac-fec.c drivers/net/fs_enet/mac-scc.c drivers/net/fs_enet/mii-bitbang.c drivers/net/fs_enet/mii-fec.c drivers/net/ibm_emac/ibm_emac_core.c drivers/net/lasi_82596.c drivers/parisc/hppb.c drivers/sbus/sbus.c drivers/video/g364fb.c drivers/video/platinumfb.c drivers/video/stifb.c drivers/video/valkyriefb.c include/asm-arm/arch-ixp4xx/dma.h sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

[MTD] Driver for AT26Fxxx dataflash devices

2007-04-17T17:42:56+00:00

Add support for AT26Fxxx dataflash devices. These devices have a quite different commandset than the AT45xxx chips, which are handled by at91_dataflash.c, so a combined driver turned out to be more ugly than useful. Tested only on AT26F004.

[PATCH] [MTD] block2mtd: remove readahead code

2007-02-20T19:22:22+00:00

Over the years there was a slow trickle of complaints against the readahead code. Most of them concerned performance, Peter Zijlstra stumbled over it when working unrelated changes and I believe there was an actual bug report. Oh, Andrew Morton also complained about duplicating code from mm/readahead.c. It is just not worth it. On flash media like usb sticks, readahead will make things go slow - very slow. On spinning disks, readahead may be a win, but this is definitely not the place to add it. Signed-off-by: Jörn Engel
