Convert the ad7780 driver to make use of the new common code for devices from the Analog Devices Sigma Delta family. As a bonus the ad7780 driver gains support for buffered mode. Although this is a bit tricky. The ad7780 reports in the lower 4 unused bits of the data word the internal gain used. The driver will update the scale attribute value depending on the gain accordingly, but obviously this will only work if the gain does not change while sampling. This is not perfect, but since we store the raw value in the buffer an application which is aware of this can extract the gain factor from the buffer as well an apply it accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Most devices from the Analog Devices Sigma Delta family use a similar scheme for communication with the device. This includes register access, as well as trigger handling. But each device sub-family has different features and different register layouts (some even have no registers at all) and thus it is impractical to try to support all of the devices by the same driver. This patch adds a common base library for Sigma Delta converter devices. It will be used by individual drivers. This code is mostly based on the three existing Sigma Delta drivers the AD7192, AD7780 and AD7793, but has been improved for more robustness and flexibility. Signed-off-by:

Introduce two new helper functions to attach a arbitrary pointer to a IIO device. This is useful to get access to external non-global data from within a IIO device callbacks where only the IIO device is available. Internally these functions use dev_{set,get}_drvdata() on the struct device embedded in the IIO device. Signed-off-by: -

So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of days to finding the problem. Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer message and that was all. So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race. Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread) unbind_con_driver -> | bind_con_driver -> | vc->vc_sw->con_deinit -> | fbcon_deinit -> | console_lock() | | | | fbcon_flashcursor timer fires | console_lock() <- blocked for A | | fbcon_del_cursor_timer -> del_timer_sync (BOOM) Of course because all of this is under the console lock, we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active console guess what we never see anything. Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms driver handoff. v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

Very broadly speaking this patch expands the concept. This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed. The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave() which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process does not need to schedule.

Commit 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free page scanner does in compaction. However, it has a problem. Consider two process simultaneously scanning free pages C Process A M S F |---------------------------------------| Process B M FS C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn S is cc->start_pfree_pfn M is cc->migrate_pfn F is cc->free_pfn In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly. Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner. Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped || zone->compact_cached_free_pfn > cc->start_free_pfn)) pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn); compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner skips almost the entire space it should have scanned. When there are multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire zone is not being scanned at all. Further, it is possible for two processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just random. Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates. There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new locking and state so this patch takes a different approach. First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not. Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of circumstances. If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it can isolate pages from. If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets compact_cached_free_pfn. This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages. Signed-off-by:

Make sure that there is no doorbell messages left behind due to disabled interrupts during inbound doorbell processing. The most common case for this bug is loss of rionet JOIN messages in systems with three or more rionet participants and MSI or MSI-X enabled. As result, requests for packet transfers may finish with "destination unreachable" error message. This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.2. Signed-off-by:

Correct the offset by subtracting 20 from tm_hour before taking the modulo 12. [ "Why 20?" I hear you ask. Or at least I did. Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly - included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define. So it's really subtracting out that bit to get "hour+12". But then because it does things modulo 12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway. This code is confused. It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't need to do the silly subtract either. Whatever. It's all just math, the end result is the same. - Linus ] Reported-by:
