      ACPICA: Major update for acpi_get_object_info external interface · 15b8dd53
      Bob Moore 提交于
      Completed a major update for the acpi_get_object_info external interface.
      Changes include:
       - Support for variable, unlimited length HID, UID, and CID strings
       - Support Processor objects the same as Devices (HID,UID,CID,ADR,STA, etc.)
       - Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object
       - Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge
       - Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO.
      These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface.
      See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for details.
      
      Also, update all invocations of acpi_get_object_info interface

      rfkill: rewrite · 19d337df
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
      the following deficiencies:
      
       * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
         rather than having one central implementation
      
       * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
         contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
         lots of code
      
       * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
         internally -- the core should do this
      
       * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
         asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
      
       * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
         driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
         should be avoided
      
       * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
      
       * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
         depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
         that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
      
       * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
         it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
         force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
      
       * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
         reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
      
       * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
         operations in locked sections
      
       * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
         changes -- this wasn't done before

      Rationalize fasync return values · 60aa4924
      Jonathan Corbet 提交于
      Most fasync implementations do something like:
      
           return fasync_helper(...);
      
      But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
      in at least one place.  Thus, a number of other drivers do:
      
           err = fasync_helper(...);
           if (err < 0)
                   return err;
           return 0;
      
      In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
      map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

      create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/ · 41b16dce
      Len Brown 提交于
      Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
      to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.
      
      The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
      platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
      The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
      They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
      implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
      use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.
      
      In the future we anticipate...
      drivers/misc/ will go away.
      other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>

      saner FASYNC handling on file close · 233e70f4
      Al Viro 提交于
      As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
      need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
      creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
      
      So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
      file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
      crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
      don't have to bother anymore.
