2007-07-17eHEA: Introducing support vor DLPAR memory addThomas Klein5-65/+275
This patch adds support for DLPAR memory add to the eHEA driver. To detect whether memory was added the driver uses its own memory mapping table and checks for kernel addresses whether they're located in already known memory sections. If not the function ehea_rereg_mrs() is triggered which performs a rebuild of the mapping table and a re-registration of the global memory region.

2007-07-16[SPARC64]: Abstract out mdesc accesses for better MD update handling.David S. Miller1-13/+21
Since we have to be able to handle MD updates, having an in-tree set of data structures representing the MD objects actually makes things more painful. The MD itself is easy to parse, and we can implement the existing interfaces using direct parsing of the MD binary image. The MD is now reference counted, so accesses have to now take the form: handle = mdesc_grab(); ... operations on MD ... mdesc_release(handle); The only remaining issue are cases where code holds on to references to MD property values. mdesc_get_property() returns a direct pointer to the property value, most cases just pull in the information they need and discard the pointer, but there are few that use the pointer directly over a long lifetime. Those will be fixed up in a subsequent changeset. A preliminary handler for MD update events from domain services is there, it is rudimentry but it works and handles all of the reference counting. It does not check the generation number of the MDs, and it does not generate a "add/delete" list for notification to interesting parties about MD changes but that will be forthcoming.

2007-07-12[TG3]: Fix the polarity bit.Matt Carlson1-19/+44
For most pre-5705 devices, multiple link interrupts were being generated for a single physical link change. The source of the interrupts was determined to be unnecessary toggling of the MAC link polarity bit. This patch changes the way the link polarity bit gets configured. Where possible, code that dynamically configures the bit in response to link changes has been replaced by code that configures the bit once during initialization time and then leaves the bit alone. For correctness, this patch also limits the use of the bit to those devices where it is defined, namely devices before the 5705. This patch also corrects the link polarity configurations for 5700 devices when paired against a bcm5411 phy.

2007-07-12[TG3]: Fix irq_sync race condition.Michael Chan1-3/+3
Gagan Arneja <gaagaan@gmail.com> pointed out that tg3_reset_task() could potentially race with another thread calling tg3_full_lock() such as the ethtool_set_xxx() functions. This may trigger the BUG_ON() in tg3_irq_quiesce() or cause the irq_sync flag to be out- of-sync. I think the easiest way to fix this is to get the tp->lock first before setting the irq_sync flag. This is safe to do because the tp->lock is never grabbed by the irq handler. This change will guarantee that the irq_sync flag updates will be serialized. We also have to change one spot to call tg3_netif_start() (which clears the irq_sync flag) before releasing the tp->lock. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that takes the rtnl itself completely useless. Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and change the existing users to take advantage of that.

2007-07-12sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo1-1/+1
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

2007-07-12PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revisionAuke Kok29-138/+58
Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member. This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all. In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance. Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

2007-07-12PCI: remove useless pci driver methodDavid Brownell4-13/+0
Remove pointless and never-called enable_wake() hook from pci_driver and from documentation.
