2008-10-13ide: add ide_retry_pc() helperBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
* Add ide_create_request_sense_cmd() and ide_retry_pc() helpers and convert ide-{atapi,floppy,tape}.c to use them. * Remove no longer used ide*_create_request_sense_cmd(), ide*_retry_pc() and 'retry_pc' argument from ide_pc_intr(). * Make ide_queue_pc_head() static. There should be no functional changes caused by this patch. Cc: Borislav Petkov <petkovbb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2008-10-13ide: add request_sense_{pc,rq} to ide_drive_tBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Add 'struct ide_atapi_pc request_sense_pc' and 'request request_sense_rq' to ide_drive_t and use them instead of fields in struct ide_{floppy,tape}_obj. There should be no functional changes caused by this patch. Cc: Borislav Petkov <petkovbb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2008-10-13ide: drop 'timeout' and 'expiry' arguments from ide_pc_intr()Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
* Move idescsi_expiry() to ide-atapi.c. * Move get_timeout() to <linux/ide.h>. * Drop 'timeout' and 'expiry' arguments from ide_pc_intr(). While at it: * idescsi_expiry() -> ide_scsi_expiry() * get_timeout() -> ide_scsi_get_timeout() There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.

2008-10-13ide: add pointer to the current packet command to ide_drive_tBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
* Add pointer to the current packet command (struct ide_atapi_pc *pc) to ide_drive_t and use it instead of the pointer in struct ide_*_obj. * Use drive->pc in ide_{issue,transfer}_pc() and ide_pc_intr() instead of 'pc' argument. There should be no functional changes caused by this patch. Cc: Borislav Petkov <petkovbb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2008-10-13ide: drop dsc_handle argument from ide_pc_intr()Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
* Add 'int dsc' argument to ->pc_callback method. * Call ide_tape_handle_dsc() internally in ide_tape_callback() if dsc argument is set and update ide_pc_intr() accordingly. There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.

2008-10-13sgiioc4: fix messagesSergei Shtylylov
Fix several issues with the log messages printed by ide_dma_sgiioc4() and sgiioc4_ide_setup_pci_device(): - IOC4 registers are memory-mapped but the "BM-DMA at" format corresponds to I/O mapped registers; - "%p" format specifiers and type casts used to print non-pointer values; - using KERN_INFO log level for the error message; - 'hwif->name' printed as drive's name. While at it, also: - return more fitting -EBUSY if request_mem_region() fails; - make the error message style consistent; - fix indentation, put the printk() facility and message on the same line; - use comparisions with NULL instead of ! operator..

2008-10-13sgiioc4: sgiioc4_read_status drive busy check fixSergei Shtylylov
Fix the drive non-busy criterion used by sgiioc4_read_status(): neither of the bits it expects to be set guarantees that the drive is not busy (and might be interrupting), only the BSY bit itself being zero gurantees that. While at it, use ATA_BUSY instead of hardcoded value everywhere...

2008-10-13vfs: Use const for kernel parser tableSteven Whitehouse
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble. This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm since then.

2008-10-13Simplify devpts_pty_killSukadev Bhattiprolu
When creating a new pty, save the pty's inode in the tty->driver_data. Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance. Since we now have the inode for the pty, we can skip get_node() lookup and remove the unused get_node(). TODO: - check if the mutex_lock is needed in pty_kill().

Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces. With multiple devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help simplify devpts implementation. Changelog[v3]: - minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates - rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes - pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch) Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Move tty_driver_lookup_tty() and tty_reopen() from tty_init_dev() into tty_open() (one of the two callers of tty_init_dev()). These calls are not really required in ptmx_open(), the other caller, since ptmx_open() would be setting up a new tty.

2008-10-13tty: shutdown methodAlan Cox
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe. Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown method is tied into the refcounting. Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic. Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree free up paths.

2008-10-13tty: Redo current tty lockingAlan Cox
