2008-07-21netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime. This patch: - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure, - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(), - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n), - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs, - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit, - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter, - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT), - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling. If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend. Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

Add a read/write rfkill interface to the bluetooth radio switch on the bluetooth submodule, and one for the wireless wan radio switch to the wan submodule. Since rfkill does care for when a switch changes state, use WLSW notifications to also check if the WWAN or Bluetooth switches did not change state (due to them being slaves of WLSW in firmware/hardware, but that reality not being always properly exported by the thinkpad firmware).

2008-07-21md: Tidy up rdev_size_store a bit:Neil Brown
- used strict_strtoull in place of simple_strtoull - use my_mddev in place of rdev->mddev (they have the same value) and more significantly, - don't adjust mddev->size to fit, rather reject changes which make rdev->size smaller than mddev->size Adjusting mddev->size is a hangover from bind_rdev_to_array which does a similar thing. But it really is a better design to insist that mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow for that. The previous way invites confusion.

2008-07-20Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: Add flush_buffer() operation to uart_opsHaavard Skinnemoen
Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data. This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct, along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer is flushed.

2008-07-17configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors.Joel Becker
The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack. Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the ->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for compatibility. Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs. This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2008-07-16ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparamZhao Yakui
"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
2008-07-16ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparamZhao Yakui
"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses, no C-states deeper than C1. If something is broken in the idle code, "idle=halt" is a less severe workaround than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

2008-07-16ACPI: Enhance /sys/firmware/interrupts to allow enable/disable/clear from ↵Zhang Rui
user-space Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event in user space. This is useful for debugging, especially for some interrupt storm issues. All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime, and we mark them as invalid. All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid. All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.

2008-07-16IDE: Report errors during drive reset back to user spaceElias Oltmanns
Make sure that each error condition during the execution of an HDIO_DRIVE_RESET ioctl is actually reported to the calling process. Also, unify the exit path of reset_pollfunc() when returning ide_stopped since the need of ->port_ops->reset_poll() to be treated specially has vanished (way back, it seems).

2008-07-16Update documentation of HDIO_DRIVE_RESET ioctlElias Oltmanns
Alter the entry for HDIO_DRIVE_RESET in Documentation/ioctl/hdio.txt to reflect a functional change in the driver. Besides, the entry has been inaccurate before.
