The driver incorrectly assumed that putchar will only be called from schedulable process context and therefore blocked and waited if no free output buffers where available. Since putchar may also be called from BH context this may lead to deadlocks. To fix this just return the number of characters accepted and let the upper layer handle the rest. The console write function will busy wait (sclp_sync_wait) until a buffer is available again. Cc: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Convert show_mem() so its nearly the same as on x86/powerpc. Gives us proper locking and we get also rid of the only use of max_mapnr. Also the number of pages was contained in an int which might not be sufficient not too far in the future. Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de> Signed-off-by:

This fixes the last remaining section mismatch warnings in s390 architecture code. It reveals also a real bug introduced by... me with git commit 2069e978 ("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.") Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later. This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added. So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix the original bug. Signed-off-by:

Due to incorrect function call sequence it can happen that a tape block request is finished before the request is taken from the block request queue. The following sequence leads to that condition: * tapeblock_start_request() -> start CCW program * Request finishes -> IO interrupt * tapeblock_end_request() * end_that_request_last() If blkdev_dequeue_request() has not been called before end_that_request_last(), a kernel bug is triggered in end_that_request_last() because the request is still queued. To solve that problem blkdev_dequeue_request() has to be called before starting the CCW program. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1099) fixes a performance regression in ehci-hcd. The fundamental problem is that queue headers get removed from the schedule too quickly, since the code checks for a counter advancing rather than making an actual time-based check. The latency involved in removing the queue header and then relinking it can severely degrade certain kinds of workloads. The patch replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the controller's uframe value. In addition, the delay for unlinking an idle queue header is increased from 5 ms to 10 ms; since some controllers (nVidia) have a latency of up to 1 ms for unlinking, this reduces the relative impact from 20% to 10%. Finally, a logical error left over from the IAA watchdog-timer conversion is corrected. Now the driver will always either unlink an idle queue header or set up a timer to unlink it later. The old code would sometimes fail to do either. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1098) changes the way ehci-hcd schedules its periodic Iso transfers. That the current scheduling code is wrong is clear on the face of it: Sometimes it returns -EL2NSYNC (meaning that an URB couldn't be scheduled because it was submitted too late), but it does this even when the URB_ISO_ASAP flag is set (meaning the URB should be scheduled as soon as possible). The new code properly implements as-soon-as-possible scheduling, assigning the next unexpired slot as the URB's starting point. It also is more careful about checking for Iso URB completion: It doesn't bother to check for activity during frames that are already over, and it allows for the possibility that some of the URB's packets may have raced the hardware when they were submitted and so never got used (the packet status is set to -EXDEV). This fixes problems several people have experienced with USB video applications. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1097) fixes a bug in the remote-wakeup handling in ehci-hcd. The driver currently does not keep track of whether the change-suspend feature is enabled for each port; the feature is automatically reset the first time it is read. But recent changes to the hub driver require that the feature be read at least twice in order to work properly. A bit-vector is added for storing the change-suspend feature values. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1096) fixes an annoying problem: When a full-speed or low-speed device is plugged into an EHCI controller, it fails to enumerate at high speed and then is handed over to the companion controller. But usbcore logs a misleading and unwanted error message when the high-speed enumeration fails. The patch adds a new HCD method, port_handed_over, which asks whether a port has been handed over to a companion controller. If it has, the error message is suppressed. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1095) cleans up the HCD glue and several of the EHCI bus-glue files. The ehci->is_tdi_rh_tt flag is redundant, since it means the same thing as the hcd->has_tt flag, so it is removed and the other flag used in its place. Some of the bus-glue files didn't get the relinquish_port method added to their hc_driver structures. Although that routine currently doesn't do anything for controllers with an integrated TT, in the future it might. So the patch adds it where it is missing. Lastly, some of the bus-glue files have erroneous entries for their hc_driver's suspend and resume methods. These method pointers are specific to PCI and shouldn't be used otherwise. (The patch also includes an invisible whitespace fix.) Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1094) changes the output of the "descriptors" binary attribute. Now it will contain the device descriptor followed by all the configuration descriptors, not just the descriptor for the current config. Userspace libraries want to have access to the kernel's cached descriptor information, so they can learn about device characteristics without having to wake up suspended devices. So far the only user of this attribute is the new libusb-1.0 library; thus changing its contents shouldn't cause any problems. This should be considered for 2.6.26, if for no other reason than to minimize the range of releases in which the attribute contains only the current config descriptor. Also, it doesn't hurt that the patch removes the device locking -- which was formerly needed in order to know for certain which config was indeed current. Signed-off-by:

There is a potential deadlock when the usb_generic driver is unbound from a device. The problem is that generic_disconnect() is called with the device lock held, and it removes a bunch of device attributes from sysfs. If a user task happens to be running an attribute method at the time, the removal will block until the method returns. But at least one of the attribute methods (the store routine for power/level) needs to acquire the device lock! This patch (as1093) eliminates the deadlock by moving the calls to create and remove the sysfs attributes from the usb_generic driver into usb_new_device() and usb_disconnect(), where they can be invoked without holding the device lock. Besides, the other sysfs attributes are created when the device is registered and removed when the device is unregistered. So it seems only fitting for the extra attributes to be created and removed at the same time. Signed-off-by:

Uninitialised Apple iSight drivers present with a distinctive USB ID. Once firmware has been uploaded, they disconnect and reconnect with a new ID. At this point they can be driven by the uvcvideo driver. As this is unique to the Apple cameras and not functionality shared by any other UVC devices, it makes sense to provide the firmware loading functionality in a separate driver. This driver will read an isight.fw file extracted from the Apple driver using the tools at http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/ and upload it to the camera. It will also handle the case where the device loses its firmware during hibernation and must have it reloaded. Signed-off-by:
