This patch (as739) adds the basic infrastructure for USB autosuspend
and autoresume. The main features are:
PM usage counters added to struct usb_device and struct
usb_interface, indicating whether it's okay to autosuspend
them or they are currently in use.
Flag added to usb_device indicating whether the current
suspend/resume operation originated from outside or as an
autosuspend/autoresume.
Flag added to usb_driver indicating whether the driver
supports autosuspend. If not, no device bound to the driver
will be autosuspended.
Mutex added to usb_device for protecting PM operations.
Unlike the device semaphore, the locking rule for the pm_mutex
is that you must acquire the locks going _up_ the device tree.
New routines handling autosuspend/autoresume requests for
interfaces and devices.
Suspend and resume requests are propagated up the device tree
(but not outside the USB subsystem).
work_struct added to usb_device, for carrying out delayed
autosuspend requests.
Autoresume added (and autosuspend prevented) during probe and
disconnect.

As part of the ongoing program to flatten out the HCD bus-glue layer,
this patch (as771b) eliminates the hcpriv, release, and kref fields
from struct usb_bus. hcpriv and release were not being used for
anything worthwhile, and kref has been moved into the enclosing
usb_hcd structure.
Along with those changes, the patch gets rid of usb_bus_get and
usb_bus_put, replacing them with usb_get_hcd and usb_put_hcd.
The one interesting aspect is that the dev_set_drvdata call was
removed from usb_put_hcd, where it clearly doesn't belong. This means
the driver private data won't get reset to NULL. It shouldn't cause
any problems, since the private data is undefined when no driver is
bound.

This driver is glue between the USB gadget interface
and the ALSA MIDI interface. It allows us to appear
as a MIDI Streaming device to a host system on the
other end of a USB cable.
This includes linux/usb/audio.h and linux/usb/midi.h
containing definitions from the relevant USB specifications
for USB audio and USB MIDI devices.
The following changes have been made since the first RFC
posting:
* Bug fixes to endpoint handling.
* Workaround for USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION handling,
not understood yet.
* Added SND and SND_RAWMIDI dependencies in Kconfig.
* Moved usb_audio.h and usb_midi.h to usb/*.h
* Added module parameters for ALSA card index and id.
* Added module parameters for USB descriptor IDs and strings.
* Removed some unneeded stuff inherited from zero.c, more to go.
* Provide DECLARE_* macros for the variable-length structs.
* Use kmalloc instead of usb_ep_alloc_buffer.
* Limit source to 80 columns.
* Return actual error code instead of -ENOMEM in a few places.

Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended. This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore. This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.
At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices. It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface. Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper. This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

This updates the PXA 25x UDC board-independent infrastructure for VBUS sensing
and the D+ pullup. The original code evolved from rather bizarre support on
Intel's "Lubbock" reference hardware, so that on more sensible hardware it
doesn't work as well as it could/should.
The change is just to teach the UDC driver how to use built-in PXA GPIO pins
directly. This reduces the amount of board-specfic object code needed, and
enables the use of a VBUS sensing IRQ on boards (like Gumstix) that have one.
With VBUS sensing, the UDC is unclocked until a host is actually connected.

In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.
Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being

Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.
The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
eisa:sTCM5093
and the in-module alias like:
eisa:sTCM5093*
The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.
The rationale for this patch is:
a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
support, to unify driver loading
b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
(who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

fork on UML has always somewhat subtle. The underlying cause has been the
need to initialize a stack for the new process. The only portable way to
initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a
signal. The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps
back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished. The basic
context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process. You switch to a
new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf.
Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke
around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a
much simpler mechanism is possible. The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by
hand.
This eliminates -
the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack
sending and handling a signal
the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since
there is no stack switching
setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original
stack after the new one is set up
In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be
embedded in the thread struct. This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on
the stack, where it used to be. It also simplifies interfaces, since the
switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions
which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it
from the void *.

Implement do_no_pfn() for handling mapping of memory without a struct page
backing it. This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which
are not backed by real memory.
This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is
highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for
instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in
parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data
corruption on some architectures, such as ia64).
This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than
expect all negative pfn values would be an error. It also bugs on cow
mappings as this would not work with the VM.

struct page *__page = (_page);
if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags))
page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page);

_page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs. Using
__page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes
yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well.
In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good
idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions.
Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate
header file for the struct page definition.

Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node
(pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was

is used lated on memory hot-add.
This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE
to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to
at *least* the requested boundary.

At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active
ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone
sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and
hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches
eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code.
The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the
active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have
been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and
zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture
independent manner.
Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges
Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed

It adjusts the watermarks slightly
Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig,
gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on
IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based
machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these
patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3.
There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code
for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes
but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present.
The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of
architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a
greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone
and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

This patch:
Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node
in an architecture independent manner. Architectures are expected to register
active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call
free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

un-, de-, -free, -destroy, -exit, etc functions should in general return
void. Also,
There is very little, say, filesystem driver code can do upon failed
kmem_cache_destroy(). If it will be decided to BUG in this case, BUG
should be put in generic code, instead.
