__devexit for i2c_powermac_probe is obviously wrong. In the definition of struct platform_driver i2c_powermac_driver the remove function i2c_powermac_remove is wrapped in __devexit_p, so it should be defined using __devexit.

This patch (as1135) essentially reverts the major parts of two earlier patches to usbcore, because they ended up causing a regression. Trying to recover from transient communication errors can lead to other problems, because operations that failed during the error period are not always retried. The simplest example is the initial Set-Config request sent after device enumeration; if it gets lost then it will not be retried and the device will remain unconfigured. This patch restores the old behavior in which any port disconnect or port disable causes the entire device structure to be removed, fixing a reported regression.

While making some other changes to ti_usb_3410_5052, I noticed that the changes made to move the firmware loading to a separate function are broken (in ti_download_firmware(), status is set to -ENOMEM and never changed). This means the driver will never initialize the device properly. It looks like status was supposed to get the result of ti_do_download().

As noted by Stefan Neis <Stefan.Neis@kobil.com>, we had a recent regression with EHCI periodic transfers, in some (seemingly not all that common) cases. The root cause was that the schedule activation was only loosely coupled to the addition or removal of transfers, so two different execution contexts could both think they had to deactivate (or conversely activate) the schedule. So this fix tightens that coupling, managing it more like a refcount. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Commit de85422b, 'USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers' changed usb_add_hcd() to strip IRQF_DISABLED from irqflags prior to calling request_irq() with the justification that such a removal was necessary for shared interrupts to work properly. Unfortunately, the change in that commit unconditionally removes the IRQF_DISABLED flag, causing problems on platforms that don't use a shared interrupt but require IRQF_DISABLED. This change adds a check for IRQF_SHARED prior to removing the IRQF_DISABLED flag. Fixes the PS3 system startup hang reported with recent Fedora and OpenSUSE kernels. Note that this problem is hidden when CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y (ps3_defconfig), as local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() is defined as a null statement for that config.

I noticed that the "Refactor "if (handshake()) state = HC_STATE_HALT" patch from earlier this year perpetuated a potential problem: it can mark the controller as halted when it's still running (but not acting as, perhaps wrongly, expected). That caused some hangs and crashes, rather than more polite failure modes of a truly halted controller. This patch forces a true halt, and emits a (previously missing) diagnostic.

This problem seems to be unnoticed so far: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b3b708fa2780cd2b5d8266a8f0c3a1cab364d4d2 has changed the serial core behavior to not to suspend the port if the device is enabled as a wakeup source. If the AT91 system goes to slow clock mode, the port should be suspended always and the clocks should be switched off. The patch attached updates the atmel_serial driver to match the changes in serial core. Also, the interrupts are disabled when the clock is disabled. If we disable the clock with interrupts enabled, an interrupt may get stuck. If this is the DBGU interrupt, this blocks the OR logic at system controller and thus all other sysc interrupts.

Current memory cgroup(both in mainline and -mm) doesn't account swap caches as memory(swap cache support is dropped temporarily now). So try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages doesn't reflect the count of pages that have been moved to swap cache. But this makes mem_cgroup_shrink_usage fail easily if most of the pages are anon/shmem, and then shmem_getpage returns -ENOMEM and the process will be killed. This patch adds res_counter_check_under_limit to avoid these cases. BTW, even if swap cache support is enabled again, if a process is moved to another cgroup, which has been just made, between precharge and shrink_usage in shmem_getpage, shrink_usage may fail just because there is no pages to reclaim. So this change would make sense anyway.

Michael Kerrisk authored
The reasons for disabling paccept() are as follows: * The API is more complex than needed. There is AFAICS no demonstrated use case that the sigset argument of this syscall serves that couldn't equally be served by the use of pselect/ppoll/epoll_pwait + traditional accept(). Roland seems to concur with this opinion (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255). I have (more than once) asked Ulrich to explain otherwise (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952/focus=731018), but he does not respond, so one is left to assume that he doesn't know of such a case. * The use of a sigset argument is not consistent with other I/O APIs that can block on a single file descriptor (e.g., read(), recv(), connect()). * The behavior of paccept() when interrupted by a signal is IMO strange: the kernel restarts the system call if SA_RESTART was set for the handler. I think that it should not do this -- that it should behave consistently with paccept()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait(), which never restart, regardless of SA_RESTART. The reasoning here is that the very purpose of paccept() is to wait for a connection or a signal, and that restarting in the latter case is probably never useful. (Note: Roland disagrees on this point, believing that rather paccept() should be consistent with accept() in its behavior wrt EINTR (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).) I believe that instead, a simpler API, consistent with Ulrich's other recent additions, is preferable: accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *salen, ind flags); (This simpler API was originally proposed by Ulrich: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/92072) If this simpler API is added, then if we later decide that the sigset argument really is required, then a suitable bit in 'flags' could be added to indicate the presence of the sigset argument. At this point, I am hoping we either will get a counter-argument from Ulrich about why we really do need paccept()'s sigset argument, or that he will resubmit the original accept4() patch.
