      resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers · e8de1481
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
      reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
      As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
      bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
      had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
      
      This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
      regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
      and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
      NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
      
      In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
      provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
      drivers issues from userspace.

      netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-2 · 4cf1653a
      Wang Chen 提交于
      We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
      1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
      2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
         netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
      But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
      directly.
      
      This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
      Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
      But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
      I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
      which is max size allowed by vger.

      e1000e: Fix incorrect debug warning · 95b866d5
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would
      cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the
      initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the
      preempt count.
      
      At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't
      check that interrupts were enabled.
      
      The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants
      a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.
