The only difference between acpi_bus_scan() and acpi_bus_add() is the invocation of acpi_update_all_gpes() in the latter which in fact is unnecessary, because acpi_update_all_gpes() has already been called by acpi_scan_init() and the way it is implemented guarantees the next invocations of it to do nothing. For this reason, drop acpi_bus_add() and make all its callers use acpi_bus_scan() directly instead of it. Additionally, rearrange the code in acpi_scan_init() slightly to improve the visibility of the acpi_update_all_gpes() call in there. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Make acpi_bus_trim() work in analogy with acpi_bus_scan() and carry out two passes such that ACPI drivers will be detached from device nodes being removed in the first pass and the device nodes themselves will be removed in the second pass. For this purpose split the driver unregistration out of acpi_bus_remove() into a new routine, acpi_bus_device_detach(), that will be executed by acpi_bus_trim() in the additional first pass as a post-order callback. This is necessary, because some ACPI drivers' .remove() routines unregister struct device objects associated with the ACPI device nodes being removed and that needs to happen while the ACPI device nodes are still around (for example, in case they need to be used for power management or similar things at that time).

The current acpi_bus_trim() implementation is not really straightforward and may be simplified significantly by using acpi_walk_namespace() with acpi_bus_remove() as a post-order callback. Observe that acpi_bus_remove(), as called by acpi_bus_trim(), cannot actually fail, because its first argument is guaranteed not to be NULL thanks to the acpi_bus_get_device() check in acpi_bus_trim(), so simply move the acpi_bus_get_device() check to acpi_bus_remove() and use acpi_walk_namespace() to execute it for every device under start->handle as a post-order callback. The, run it directly for start->handle itself. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Commit 805d410 (ACPI: Separate adding ACPI device objects from probing ACPI drivers) introduced an ACPI power resources management regression, because it didn't ensure that the power resources driver bind to the struct acpi_device objects corresponding to power resources as soon as they were created. As a result, ACPI power management routines may attempt to access power resource objects before they are ready to use. To fix this problem, tell the acpi_add_single_object() in acpi_bus_check_add() to probe the driver for objects of type ACPI_BUS_TYPE_POWER. This fix has been verified to work on HP nx6325 where the problem was first observed. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>

Currently, the ACPI wakeup capability of PCI devices is set up in two different places, partially in acpi_pci_bind() where runtime wakeup is initialized and partially in platform_pci_wakeup_init(), where system wakeup is initialized.

Add two new callbacks,.setup() and .cleanup(), struct acpi_bus_type and modify acpi_platform_notify() to call .setup() after executing acpi_bind_one() successfully and acpi_platform_notify_remove() to call .cleanup() before running acpi_unbind_one(). This will allow the users of struct acpi_bus_type, PCI in particular, to specify operations to be executed right after the given device has been associated with a companion struct acpi_device and right before it's going to be detached from that companion, respectively. The main motivation is to be able to get rid of acpi_pci_bind() and acpi_pci_unbind(), which are horrible horrible stuff. [In short, there are three problems with them: The way they populate the .bind() and .unbind() callbacks of ACPI devices is rather less than straightforward, they require special hotplug-specific paths to be present in the ACPI namespace scanning code and by the time acpi_pci_unbind() is called the PCI device object in question may not exist any more.] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The callers of acpi_bus_add() usually assume that if it has succeeded, then a struct acpi_device object has been attached to the handle passed as the first argument. Unfortunately, however, this assumption is wrong, because acpi_bus_scan(), and acpi_bus_add() too as a result, may return a pointer to a different struct acpi_device object on success (it may be an object corresponding to one of the descendant ACPI nodes in the namespace scope below that handle). For this reason, the callers of acpi_bus_add() who care about whether or not a struct acpi_device object has been created for its first argument need to check that using acpi_bus_get_device() anyway, so the second argument of acpi_bus_add() is not really useful for them. The same observation applies to acpi_bus_scan() executed directly from acpi_scan_init(). Therefore modify the relevant callers of acpi_bus_add() to check the existence of the struct acpi_device in question with the help of acpi_bus_get_device() and drop the no longer necessary second argument of acpi_bus_add(). Accordingly, modify acpi_scan_init() to use acpi_bus_get_device() to get acpi_root and drop the no longer needed second argument of acpi_bus_scan(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The ACPI PCI root bridge driver was the only ACPI driver implementing the .start() callback, which isn't used by any ACPI drivers any more now. For this reason, acpi_start_single_object() has no purpose any more, so remove it and all references to it. Also remove acpi_bus_start_device(), whose only purpose was to call acpi_start_single_object(). Moreover, since after the removal of acpi_bus_start_device() the only purpose of acpi_bus_start() remains to call acpi_update_all_gpes(), move that into acpi_bus_add() and drop acpi_bus_start() too, remove its header from acpi_bus.h and update all of its former users accordingly.

Move the code from the ACPI PCI root bridge's .start() callback routine, acpi_pci_root_start(), directly into acpi_pci_root_add() and drop acpi_pci_root_start(). It is safe to do that, because it is now always guaranteed that when struct pci_dev objects are created, their companion struct acpi_device objects are already present, so it is not necessary to wait for them to be created before calling pci_bus_add_devices().

Instead of running acpi_pci_root_init() from a separate subsys initcall, call it directly from acpi_scan_init() before scanning the ACPI namespace for the first time, so that the PCI root bridge driver's .add() routine, acpi_pci_root_start(), is always run before binding ACPI drivers or attaching "companion" device objects to struct acpi_device objects below the root bridge's device node in the ACPI namespace. The first, simpler reason for doing this is that it makes the situation during boot more similar to the situation during hotplug, in which the ACPI PCI root bridge driver is always present. The second reason is that acpi_pci_root_init() causes struct pci_dev objects to be created for all PCI devices below the bridge and these objects may be necessary for whatever is done with the other ACPI device nodes in that namespace scope. For example, devices created by acpi_create_platform_device() sometimes may need to be added to the device hierarchy as children of PCI bridges. For this purpose, however, the struct pci_dev objects representing those bridges need to exist before the platform devices in question are registered. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Split the ACPI namespace scanning for devices into two passes, such that struct acpi_device objects are registerd in the first pass without probing ACPI drivers and the drivers are probed against them directly in the second pass. There are two main reasons for doing that. First, the ACPI PCI root bridge driver's .add() routine, acpi_pci_root_add(), causes struct pci_dev objects to be created for all PCI devices under the given root bridge. Usually, there are corresponding ACPI device nodes in the ACPI namespace for some of those devices and therefore there should be "companion" struct acpi_device objects to attach those struct pci_dev objects to. These struct acpi_device objects should exist when the corresponding struct pci_dev objects are created, but that is only guaranteed during boot and not during hotplug. This leads to a number of functional differences between the boot and the hotplug cases which are not strictly necessary and make the code more complicated. For example, this forces the ACPI PCI root bridge driver to defer the registration of the just created struct pci_dev objects and to use a special .start() callback routine, acpi_pci_root_start(), to make sure that all of the "companion" struct acpi_device objects will be present at PCI devices registration time during hotplug. If those differences can be eliminated, we will be able to consolidate the boot and hotplug code paths for the enumeration and registration of PCI devices and to reduce the complexity of that code quite a bit. The second reason is that, in general, it should be possible to resolve conflicts of resources assigned by the BIOS to different devices represented by ACPI namespace nodes before any drivers bind to them and before they are attached to "companion" objects representing physical devices (such as struct pci_dev). However, for this purpose we first need to enumerate all ACPI device nodes in the given namespace scope. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Javier Martinez Canillas authored
commit a99d76f9 leds: leds-gpio: use gpio_request_one changed the leds-gpio driver to use gpio_request_one() instead of gpio_request() + gpio_direction_output() Unfortunately, it also made a semantic change that breaks the leds-gpio driver. The gpio_request_one() flags parameter was set to: GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (led_dat->active_low ^ state) Since GPIOF_DIR_OUT is 0, the final flags value will just be the XOR'ed value of led_dat->active_low and state. This value were used to distinguish between HIGH/LOW output initial level and call gpio_direction_output() accordingly. With this new semantic gpio_request_one() will take the flags value of 1 as a configuration of input direction (GPIOF_DIR_IN) and will call gpio_direction_input() instead of gpio_direction_output(). int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label) { .. if (flags & GPIOF_DIR_IN) err = gpio_direction_input(gpio); else err = gpio_direction_output(gpio, (flags & GPIOF_INIT_HIGH) ? 1 : 0); .. } The right semantic is to evaluate led_dat->active_low ^ state and set the output initial level explicitly.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
