2008-10-21[PATCH] beginning of methods conversionAl Viro1-3/+3
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-10-10[S390] 3215: Remove tasklet.Heiko Carstens1-20/+6
The 3215 console irq handler used to schedule a tasklet. However the console irq handler also gets called from the infamous cio_tpi() function. Which in turn does something like local_bh_disable() [call console irq handler] _local_bh_enable() _local_bh_enable() prevents execution of softirqs, which is intended within cio_tpi(). However there might be a new softirq pending because irq handler scheduled a tasklet. In order to prevent this behaviour we just get rid of the tasklet. It's not doing much anyway.

2008-10-10[S390] console flush on panic / rebootHolger Smolinski4-18/+86
The s390 console drivers use the unblank callback of the console structure to flush the console buffer. In case of a panic or a reboot the CPU doing the callback can block on the console i/o. The other CPUs in the system continue to work. For panic this is not a good idea. Replace the unblank callback with proper panic/reboot notifier. These get called after all but one CPU have been stopped. Signed-off-by: Holger Smolinski <Holger.Smolinski@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-08-21[S390] drivers/s390: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL testJulien Brunel2-2/+2
In case of error, functions dasd_kmalloc_request and idal_buffer_alloc return an ERR pointer, but never return the NULL pointer. So after a call to one of these functions, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @correct_null_test@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = ( dasd_kmalloc_request(...) | idal_buffer_alloc(...) ) <... when != x = E if ( ( - x@p2 != NULL + !

2008-07-14[S390] sclp_tty: Fix scheduling while atomic bug.Heiko Carstens1-19/+17
Finally fixes a possible scheduling while in atomic context bug. The driver used to wait on a waitqueue if no empty buffer was available. This could lead to a deadlock if the driver was called from non-schedulable context. So fix this. The write operation may fail now. It returns the number of characters accepted. put_char will never fail, since it writes characters to an intermediate buffer which gets flushed as soon as it is full. That means the driver now can busy wait if something is in the intermediate buffer and a write_string operation follows. Seems to be an acceptable compromise, since that shouldn't happen too often.
