* [PATCH] pcmcia: unify attach, EVENT_CARD_INSERTION handlers into one probe ↵Dominik Brodowski2006-01-066-228/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | callback Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly. With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses: int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
* [PATCH] pcmcia: remove dev_list from driversDominik Brodowski2006-01-064-68/+11
| | | | | | | | The linked list of devices managed by each PCMCIA driver is, in very most cases, unused. Therefore, remove it from many drivers. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
* [PATCH] pcmcia: unify detach, REMOVAL_EVENT handlers into one remove callbackDominik Brodowski2006-01-066-65/+26
| | | | | | | | Unify the "detach" and REMOVAL_EVENT handlers to one "remove" function. Old functionality is preserved, for the moment. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
* [PATCH] pcmcia: new suspend coreDominik Brodowski2006-01-055-134/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the suspend and resume methods out of the event handler, and into special functions. Also use these functions for pre- and post-reset, as almost all drivers already do, and the remaining ones can easily be converted.

| * [PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers2006-01-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.

| * [PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplugKay Sievers2006-01-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these days, netlink events are the default. udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and provide only one interface without all the options. The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for subsystem specific events. Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to notify about changes than sending events through the core. The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to userspace now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Previously, this was done by each user by manually initializing a qc, issueing it, waiting for its completion and handling errors. In addition to obvious code factoring, using ata_exec_internal() fixes the following bugs. * qc not freed on issue failure * ap->qactive clearing could race with the next internal command * race between timeout handling and irq * ignoring error condition not represented in tf->status Also, qc & hardware are not accessed anymore once it's completed, making internal commands more conformant with general semantics. ata_exec_internal() also makes it easy to issue internal commands from multiple threads if that becomes necessary. This patch only implements ata_exec_internal(). A following patch will convert all users. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> -- Jeff, all patches have been regenerated against upstream branch as of today. (575ab52a218e4ff0667a6cbd972c3af443ee8713) Also, I took out a debug printk from ata_exec_internal (don't know how that one got left there). Other than that, all patches are identical to the previous posting. Thanks. :-) Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

Remove when PageReserved is removed */ BUG_ON(PageReserved(page)); I was using /dev/zero as input and it triggers this. When I used a file as input, this did not trigger. Should this BUG_ON be removed? In the same log I noticed that there was another ->sg_segs inconsistency. Also, the field ->last_SRpnt was not reset when scsi_execute_async() failed. This caused the error message "Async command already active" later and prevented proper close. While doing the changes, I noticed that the current code (since 2.6.0-test4) does not set the pages dirty when reading with direct i/o. All of these st problems (including the one I sent earlier) are fixed in the patch at the end of this message. These fixes should probably be included already in 2.6.15. After these fixes, the tape seems to operate as expected. Without other changes, the largest block size with sym53c896 SCSI adapter is 384 kB. The maximum number of sg segments is set to 96 and clustering is disabled in the driver. 96 x 4 kB = 384 kB. OK. I enabled clustering and set max_sectors to 10000 in the SCSI HBA driver. Now the block size limit is 5000 kB as expected. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
