2009-05-27ALSA: Enable PCM hw_ptr_jiffies check only in xrun_debug modeTakashi Iwai
The PCM hw_ptr jiffies check results sometimes in problems when a hardware doesn't give smooth hw_ptr updates. So far, au88x0 and some other drivers appear not working due to this strict check. However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be still kept. Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it by setting the xrun_debug mode to the specific stream via a proc file. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

The recent fix for the headphone volume control on IDT/STAC codecs resulted in the removal of invalid "Side" volume eventually. But, if the front panel doesn't exist, this setup could be regarded as a sort of regression, as reported in kernel bug #13250. Now as a workaround, a new model 5stack-no-fp is added so that the user without the front panel can choose this one explicitly.

2009-05-15Revert "mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads"Jens Axboe
This reverts commit fafd688e4c0c34da0f3de909881117d374e4c7af. Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API forever.

2009-05-02mm: close page_mkwrite racesNick Piggin
Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves. [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix derefs of NULL ->mapping] Cc: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

From source code of get_usage_char(), the previous note is not correct, so fix it. static char get_usage_char(struct lock_class *class, enum lock_usage_bit bit) { char c = '.'; if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit + 2))/*LOCK_ENABLED_##STATE*/ c = '+'; if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit)) {/*LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE*/ c = '-'; if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit + 2)) c = '?'; } return c; } note: 1) The 'bit' parameter always is passed as LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE or LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE_READ , from get_usage_chars().

2009-04-21spi: documentation: emphasise spi_master.setup() semanticsDavid Brownell
This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.
