      [PATCH] spi: simple SPI framework · 8ae12a0d
      David Brownell 提交于
      This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
      queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
      wrappers on top).
      
        - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM).  If there's got to be a
          mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget.  :)
      
        - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
          model tree.  (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)
      
        - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers.  At this writing there
          are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
          and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
          mentions of other drivers in development.
      
        - No userspace API.  There are several implementations to compare.
          Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.
      
      The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
      and include:
      
        - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
          names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.
      
        - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
          DMA drivers that want to be fancy.
      
        - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init.  Even though board init
          logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
          for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.
      
        - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
          with other folk.  It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
          who've helped nudge this framework into existence.
      
      As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
      that this driver framework will need to evolve.
      
      From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com>
      
        Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by
        reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.

      [NET]: Add netlink connector. · 7672d0b5
      Evgeniy Polyakov 提交于
      Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
      communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
      message bus using netlink as it's backend.  Connector was created to
      eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
      direction.
      
      Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
      one of it's backends netlink based network.  One must register
      callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
      with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
      
      From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
      
      	socket();
      	bind();
      	send();
      	recv();
      
      But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
      writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
      handling...  Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
      based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
      easier way:
      
      int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
      void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
      
      struct cb_id
      {
      	__u32			idx;
      	__u32			val;
      };
      
      idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
      connector.h for in-kernel usage.  void (*callback) (void *) - is a
      callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
      will be received by connector core.
      
      Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
      users.
      
      Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
