      [libata] Remove ->port_disable() hook · ac8869d5
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      It was always set to ata_port_disable().  Removed the hook, and replaced
      the very few ap->ops->port_disable() callsites with direct calls to
      ata_port_disable().

      libata-link: introduce ata_link · 9af5c9c9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Introduce ata_link.  It abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and
      ata_device.  This new level of abstraction is necessary to support
      SATA Port Multiplier, which basically adds a bunch of links (PHYs) to
      a ATA host port.  Fields related to command execution, spd_limit and
      EH are per-link and thus moved to ata_link.
      
      This patch only defines the host link.  Multiple link handling will be
      added later.  Also, a lot of ap->link derefences are added but many of
      them will be removed as each part is converted to deal directly with
      ata_link instead of ata_port.
      
      This patch introduces no behavior change.

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

      sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes · 91a69029
      Zhang Rui 提交于
      Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
      
      What I do:
      Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
      .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
      
      In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
      include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
      But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
      to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
      I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
      
      Why I do this:
      For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
      struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
      while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
      I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
      so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
      So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
      
      Who benefits from it:
      The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
      requires such an improvement.
      All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
      Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
      the table signature and instance number which are used to
      distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
      
      Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
      for different ACPI table binary attributes.
      This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
      platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h> · 6473d160
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
      not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.
      
      In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
      files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
      or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
      compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
      false positives manually.
      
      My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
      positives remaining. Untested files are:

      I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
      the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
      changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.
      
      Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted
      to LKML yesterday:

      [SCSI] libsas: Don't BUG when connecting two expanders via wide port · 423f7cf4
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      libsas: Don't BUG when connecting two expanders via wide port
      
      When a device is connected to an expander, the discovery process goes through
      sas_ex_discover_dev to figure out what's attached to the phy.  If it is the
      case that the phy being discovered happens to be the second phy of a wide link
      to an expander, that discover_dev function will incorrectly call
      sas_ex_discover_expander, which creates another sas_port and tries to attach the
      other sas_phys to the new port, thus triggering a BUG.  The correct thing to do is
      to check the other ex_phys of the expander to see if there's a sas_port for this
      sas_phy, and attach the sas_phy to the existing sas_port.
      
      This is easily triggered if one enables the phys of a wide port between
      expanders one by one.
      
      This second version of the patch fixes a small regression in the case where
      all the phys show up at once and we accidentally try to attach to a port
      that hasn't been created yet.
