      i2c/scx200_acb: Provide more information on bus errors · fce96f3e
      Willy Tarreau authored
      Upon a bus error, it's rather hard to guess what happened. Dumping the
      address, length and status provides a lot of value for troubleshooting
      issues.

      i2c: Provide compatibility links for i2c adapters · 2bb5095a
      Jean Delvare authored
      Some user-space applications may be relying on i2c adapters showing up
      as class devices in sysfs. Provide compatibility links for them for
      the time being. We will remove them after a long transition period.

      i2c: Convert i2c adapters to bus devices · 4f8cf824
      Jean Delvare authored
      Kay says i2c adapters shouldn't be class devices but bus devices.
      Convert them that way, using a device type.

      i2c/tsl2550: Use combined SMBus transactions · ac780941
      Jean Delvare authored
      Make the I/O faster, mainly by using combined SMBus transactions when
      possible. While the TSL2550 datasheet doesn't say the device supports
      them, they seem to work just fine in practice, and a combined
      transaction is faster than two simple transactions in many cases and
      always more reliable.
      
      A side effect is to suppress the delays between SMBus writes and
      reads. The datasheet doesn't say they are needed and things work just
      fine for me without them.
      
      I also couldn't see any reason for the delay between reading the two
      channels. Nor for the loop to get a reading in the first place. The
      400 ms delay between samples only matters at chip power-up, after that
      the chip always hold the previously sampled value so we never get to
      wait.
      
      All these changes make reading the lux value much faster and cheaper.

      i2c-taos-evm: Switch echo off to improve performance · 27693ce5
      Jean Delvare authored
      When echo is on, we waste time reading back our orders. Switching echo
      off makes performance much better: SMBus byte data transactions are 47%
      faster and byte transactions are 24% faster.

      pty_write: don't do a tty_wakeup() when the buffers are full · 202c4675
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit ac89a917 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside
      'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the
      regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself.
      
      That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be
      doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled
      up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write.
      
      Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async
      code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push
      out data to the tty.  When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up
      thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between
      XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details).  End result: one unhappy ppp
      user.
      
      Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do
      anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much
      not calling tty_wakeup()).
