[PATCH] NET: Don't export linux/random.h outside KERNEL

2007-01-10T19:05:21+00:00

Don't add it there please; add it lower down inside the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__. You just made the _userspace_ net.h include random.h, which then fails to compile unless was already included. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] libata: handle 0xff status properly

2007-01-10T19:05:18+00:00

libata waits for !BSY even when the status register reports 0xff. This causes long boot delays when D8 isn't pulled down properly. This patch does the followings. * don't wait if status register is 0xff in all wait functions * make ata_busy_sleep() return 0 on success and -errno on failure. -ENODEV is returned on 0xff status and -EBUSY on other failures. * make ata_bus_softreset() succeed on 0xff status. 0xff status is not reset failure. It indicates no device. This removes unnecessary retries on such ports. Note that the code change assumes unoccupied port reporting 0xff status does not produce valid device signature.

[PATCH] NETLINK: Put {IFA,IFLA}_{RTA,PAYLOAD} macros back for userspace.

2006-12-11T19:32:41+00:00

GLIBC uses them etc. They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for userspace. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] add bottom_half.h

2006-12-11T19:32:40+00:00

With CONFIG_SMP=n: drivers/input/ff-memless.c:384: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_disable' drivers/input/ff-memless.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_enable' Really linux/spinlock.h should include linux/interrupt.h. But interrupt.h includes sched.h which will need spinlock.h. So the patch breaks the _bh declarations out into a separate header and includes it in bothj interrupt.h and spinlock.h.

[PATCH] NETLINK: Restore API compatibility of address and neighbour bits

Restore API compatibility due to bits moved from rtnetlink.h to separate headers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[NET]: Fix MAX_HEADER setting.

2006-11-29T04:59:39+00:00

MAX_HEADER is either set to LL_MAX_HEADER or LL_MAX_HEADER + 48, and this is controlled by a set of CONFIG_* ifdef tests. It is trying to use LL_MAX_HEADER + 48 when any of the tunnels are enabled which set hard_header_len like this: dev->hard_header_len = LL_MAX_HEADER + sizeof(struct xxx); The correct set of tunnel drivers which do this are: ipip ip_gre ip6_tunnel sit so make the ifdef test match. Noticed by Patrick McHardy and with help from Herbert Xu. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Fix 'ALIGN()' macro, take 2

2006-11-27T03:05:22+00:00

You wouldn't think that doing an ALIGN() macro that aligns something up to a power-of-two boundary would be likely to have bugs, would you? But hey, in the wonderful world of mixing integer types, you have to be careful. This just makes sure that the alignment is interpreted in the same type as the thing to be aligned. Thanks to Roland Dreier, who noticed that the amso1100 driver got broken by the previous fix (that just extended the mask to "unsigned long", but was still broken in "unsigned long long" - it just happened to be the same on 64-bit architectures). See commit 4c8bd7eeee4c8f157fb61fb64b57500990b42e0e for the history of bugs here... Acked-by: Roland Dreier Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: David Miller Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Revert "[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking"

2006-11-27T00:27:17+00:00

This reverts commit ee3ce191e8eaa4cc15c51a28b34143b36404c4f5, since it broke on at least ARM, MIPS and PA-RISC due to complicated header file dependencies. Conflicts in include/linux/spinlock.h (due to the "nested" variety fixes) fixed up by hand. Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Ralf Baechle Cc: Kyle McMartin Cc: Russell King Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking

2006-11-25T21:28:34+00:00

Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends something different from "unsigned long flags;". Suprisingly large amount of these was caught by recent commit c53421b18f205c5f97c604ae55c6a921f034b0f6 and others. Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton. All stupid typos in first version fixed. Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config. Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive. Note #2: techically, we should break only if sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long), however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel, the better.
