Update the schedule for the removal of drivers depending on
OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER as follows:
- adjust OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencie
- from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17:
approx. two months for users to report problems with the ALSA
drivers for the same hardware
- after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18):
remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without
known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware
Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.

[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).
Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.
- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT
hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later.
There are a few restrictions:
- Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node
The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables
that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything
suspicious.
Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK
and also contributions from Andrew Morton
[ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>:
1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.
Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory <
4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32,
ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system
doesn't have memory >4G at boot.
[AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us]
2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented.
They should be.
For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory
from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have
possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory
in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will
not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;)
[AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory]

The LED class/subsystem takes John Lenz's work and extends and alters it to
give what I think should be a fairly universal LED implementation.
The series consists of several logical units:
* LED Core + Class implementation
* LED Trigger Core implementation
* LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger)
* LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models
* LED device driver for locomo LEDs
* LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs
* Zaurus charging LED trigger
* IDE disk activity LED trigger
* NAND MTD activity LED trigger
Why?
====
LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned
on and off so why do we need all this code? On handheld or embedded devices
they're an important part of an often limited user interface. Both users and
developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the
number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large.
A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in
an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner.
The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away
in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent
interface to userspace.
Other Implementations
=====================
I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation. Currently the new subsystem
and the arm code can coexist quite happily. Its up to the arm community to
decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them. As far as I can see,
the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with
the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more
generic, configurable and scalable.
I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it)
if appropriate.
Implementation Details
======================
I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class. Colours were
removed as LED colour is now part of the device name. Multiple colours are to
be handled as multiple led devices. This means you get full control over each
colour. I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't
going to add much overhead and is just as useful. I also decided to have the
LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling)
removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers.
An underlying design philosophy is simplicity. The aim is to keep a small
amount of code giving as much functionality as possible.
The major new idea is the led "trigger". A trigger is a source of led events.
Triggers can either be simple or complex. A simple trigger isn't
configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal
additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging
triggers. With leds disabled, the code optimises away. Examples are
nand-disk and ide-disk.
Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and
work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example.
You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is
chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger).
So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further
LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems.
Known Issues
============
The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would
cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue compared to
the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The rest of the LED
subsystem can be modular.
Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware. As this isn't a generic LED
device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs
attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg.
to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended).
Future Development
==================
At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
particular LED. The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should
cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current
interface.
A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation
should be trivial to add.
This patch:
Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and
how it appears to users.

Attached you'll find an ALSA driver for AdLib FM cards. An AdLib card is
just an OPL2, which was already supported by sound/drivers/opl3, so only
very minimal bus-glue is needed. The patch applies cleanly to both
2.6.16 and 2.6.16-mm1.
The driver has been tested with an actual ancient 8-bit ISA AdLib card
and works fine. It also works fine for an OPL3 {,emulation} as still
found on many ISA soundcards but given that AdLib cards don't have their
own mixer, upping the volume from 0 might be a problem without the card
driver already loaded and driving the OPL3.

This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found

systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.
Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

[PATCH] unused label in drivers/block/cciss.
[BLOCK] increase size of disk stat counters
[PATCH] blk_execute_rq_nowait-speedup

[BLOCK] ll_rw_blk: kmalloc -> kzalloc conversion
[PATCH] kzalloc() conversion in drivers/block
[PATCH] update max_sectors documentation
Remove the assumption that pnp_register_driver() returns the number of devices
claimed. Returning the count is unreliable because devices may be hot-plugged
in the future.
This changes the convention to "zero for success, or a negative error value,"
which matches pci_register_driver(), acpi_bus_register_driver(), and
platform_driver_register().

We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from
get_user_pages() and does something like
kmap_atomic(page)
modify page
kunmap_atomic(page)
However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the
kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would
specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the
kernel has modified. The driver would need to add
flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.

Currently, get_user_pages() returns fully coherent pages to the kernel for
anything other than anonymous pages. This is a problem for things like
fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA
to anonymous pages passed in by users.
The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which
is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent.

As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with the if still following the else, you can
still get a null uid written to the disk if you specify a default uid= without
uid=forget. In other words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount
option uid=1000 is given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably
other distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000
owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid instead.

There were a number of conflicting naming schemes used in the v9fs project.
The directory was fs/9p, but MAINTAINERS and Documentation referred to
v9fs. The module name itself was 9p2000, and the file system type was 9P.
This patch attempts to clean that up, changing all references to 9p in
order to match the directory name. We'll also start using 9p instead of
v9fs as our patch prefix.
There is also a minor consistency cleanup in the options changing the name
option to uname in order to more closely match the Plan 9 options.

According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.
The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently. Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.
hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations. Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired. This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.
To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.
Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.
After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check. This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.
