* Remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD hack from init_hwif_default() ("hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters should be used instead if somebody wishes to use the old "hd" driver). * Make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY config option available also when IDE subsystem is used and update help entry. * Remove no longer needed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option. v2: * Update documentation to suggest "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" instead of obsoleted "ide0=noprobe". * Update Documentation/ide/ide.txt.

* Add 'struct class ide_port_class' ('ide_port' class) and a 'struct device *portdev' ('ide_port' class device) in ide_hwif_t. * Register 'ide_port' class in ide_init() and unregister it in cleanup_module(). * Create ->portdev in ide_register_port () and unregister it in ide_unregister(). * Add "delete_devices" class device attribute for unregistering IDE devices on a port and "scan" one for probing+registering IDE devices on a port. * Add ide_sysfs_register_port() helper for registering "delete_devices" and "scan" attributes with ->portdev. Call it in ide_device_add_all(). * Document IDE warm-plug support in Documentation/ide/warm-plug-howto.txt. v2: * Convert patch from using 'struct class_device' to use 'struct device'.

As shown by Gurudas Pai recently, we can put hugepages into the surplus state (by echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages), even when /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages is 0. This is actually correct, to allow the original goal (shrink the static pool to 0) to succeed (we are converting hugepages to surplus because they are in use). However, the documentation does not accurately reflect this case. Update it.

The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
Some time ago it turned out that our suspend code ordering broke some NVidia-based systems that hung if _PTS was executed with one of the PCI devices, specifically a USB controller, in a low power state. Then, it was noticed that the suspend code ordering was not compliant with ACPI 1.0, although it was compliant with ACPI 2.0 (and later), and it was argued that the code had to be changed for that reason (ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528). So we did, but evidently we did wrong, because it's now turning out that some systems have been broken by this change. Refs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10340 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217#c16 [ I said at that time that something like this might happend, but the majority of people involved thought that it was improbable due to the necessity to preserve the compliance of hardware with ACPI 1.0. ] This actually is a quite serious regression from 2.6.24. Moreover, the ACPI 1.0 ordering of suspend code introduced another issue that I have only noticed recently. Namely, if the suspend of one of devices fails, the already suspended devices will be resumed without executing _WAK before, which leads to problems on some systems (for example, in such situations thermal management is broken on my HP nx6325). Consequently, it also breaks suspend debugging on the affected systems. Note also, that the requirement to execute _PTS before suspending devices does not really make sense, because the device in question may be put into a low power state at run time for a reason unrelated to a system-wide suspend. For the reasons outlined above, the change of the suspend ordering should be reverted, which is done by the patch below. [ Felix Möller: "I am the reporter from the original Novell Bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217 I just tried current git head (two hours ago) with the patch (the one from the beginning of this thread) from Rafael and without it. With the patch my MacBook does suspend without it does not." ] Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current: - Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to. Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end. - Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file and better explains what this really does. Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with that important task.

Implement support for the E-Ink Metronome controller. It provides an mmapable interface to the controller using defio support. It was tested with a gumstix pxa255 with Vizplex media using Xfbdev and various X clients such as xeyes, xpdf, xloadimage. This patch also fixes the following bug: Defio would cause a hang on write access to the framebuffer as the page fault would be called ad-infinitum.

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9 ("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply isn't ready. It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this shouldn't be done at all. For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this concept later if necessary.
