      thinkpad-acpi: hotkey event driver update · 0d922e3b
      Henrique de Moraes Holschuh authored 
      Update the HKEY event driver to:

1. Handle better the second-gen firmware, which has no HKEY mask
   support but does report FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 without the need
   for NVRAM polling.

   a) always make the mask-related attributes available in sysfs;
   b) use DMI quirks to detect the second-gen firmware;
   c) properly report that FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 are enabled,
      and available even on mask-less second-gen firmware;

2. Decouple the issuing of hotkey events towards userspace from
   their reception from the firmware.  ALSA mixer and brightness
   event reporting support will need this feature.

3. Clean up the mess in the hotkey driver a great deal.  It is
   still very convoluted, and wants a full refactoring into a
   proper event API interface, but that is not going to happen
   today.

4. Fully reset firmware interface on resume (restore hotkey
   mask and status).

5. Stop losing polled events for no good reason when changing the
   mask and poll frequencies.  We will still lose them when the
   hotkey_source_mask is changed, as well as any that happened
   between driver suspend and driver resume.

The hotkey subdriver now has the notion of user-space-visible hotkey
event mask, as well as of the set of "hotkey" events the driver needs
(because brightness/volume change reports are not just keypress
reports in most ThinkPad models).

With this rewrite, the ABI level is bumped to 0x020500 should
userspace need to know it is dealing with the updated hotkey
subdriver.

      thinkpad-acpi: drop HKEY event 0x5010 · 176dd985
      Henrique de Moraes Holschuh authored 
      HKEY event 0x5010 is useless to us: old ThinkPads don't issue it.  Newer
ThinkPads won't issue it anymore.  And all ThinkPads issue 0x1010 and
0x1011 events.

Just silently drop it instead of sending it to userspace.

      thinkpad-acpi: remove uneeded tp_features.hotkey tests in hotkey_exit · 4be73005
      Henrique de Moraes Holschuh authored 
      hotkey_exit() is only called if hotkey_init() finished sucessfully, or
by direct calls inside hotkey_init().  The tp_features.hotkey test is
always true, and just adds to the confusion, remove it.  Also, avoid
calling hotkey_mask_set() when it won't do anything useful.

      thinkpad-acpi: don't leave ERR_PTR() pointers around · 435c47e2
      Henrique de Moraes Holschuh authored 
      backlight_device_register returns ERR_PTR() in case of problems, and
the current code would leave that ERR_PTR in ibm_backlight_device.

The current code paths won't touch it in that situation, but that could
change.  Make sure to set ibm_backlight_device to NULL in the error
path.

      aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs · 7135a71b
      Ed Cashin authored 
      Andy Whitcroft reported an oops in aoe triggered by use of an
incorrectly initialised request_queue object:

  [ 2645.959090] kobject '<NULL>' (ffff880059ca22c0): tried to add
		an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong.
  [ 2645.959104] Pid: 6, comm: events/0 Not tainted 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu
  [ 2645.959107] Call Trace:
  [ 2645.959139] [<ffffffff8126ca2f>] kobject_add+0x5f/0x70
  [ 2645.959151] [<ffffffff8125b4ab>] blk_register_queue+0x8b/0xf0
  [ 2645.959155] [<ffffffff8126043f>] add_disk+0x8f/0x160
  [ 2645.959161] [<ffffffffa01673c4>] aoeblk_gdalloc+0x164/0x1c0 [aoe]

The request queue of an aoe device is not used but can be allocated in
code that does not sleep.

Bruno bisected this regression down to

  cd43e26f

  block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs

"This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for
 everyone who is using queues, not just for those queues that have a
 non-NULL queue->request_fn."

Addresses http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410198
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942

Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been
an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and
must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was
always buggy in this respect (Jens).

      i915: disable interrupts before tearing down GEM state · e6890f6f
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs)
when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when
suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops
turned out to be

	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084
	IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915]

and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after
having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do

  i915_gem_idle() ->
    i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() ->
      i915_gem_cleanup_hws() ->
        dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL;

but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to
access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference.

And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt,
and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is
simply a silently hung machine.

Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than
after. Fixes

Commit
38bddf04 gianfar: gfar_remove needs to call unregister_netdev()

breaks the build of the gianfar driver because "dev" is undefined in
this function. To quickly test rc9 I changed this to priv->ndev but I do
not know if this is the correct one.
