Fix the cx23888 driver to use the new kfifo API. Using kfifo_reset() may result in a possible race conditions. This patch fixes it by using a spinlock around the kfifo_reset() function. Signed-off-by:

Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo API. It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed. Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function. Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected end of fifo. Signed-off-by:

Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a spinlock. Signed-off-by: -

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

This reverts commit 7bc7d637, as requested by John Stultz. Quoting John: "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with 2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the nanoseconds field. He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the sub-nanosecond accumulated time. Details: * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime. This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime. Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by that rounding. * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache. * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is known to work. * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code. Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the xtime_cache change is the best approach for now. Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!" Reported-by:

The second parameter to alignf() in allocate_resource() must reflect what new resource is attempted to be allocated, else functions like pcibios_align_resource() (at least on x86) or pcmcia_align() can't work correctly. Commit 1e5ad967 broke this by setting the "new" resource until we're about to return success. To keep the resource untouched when allocate_resource() fails, a "tmp" resource is introduced.

The direction of rounding is incorrect in the snd_interval_ratnum() It was detected with following parameters (sb8 driver playing 8kHz stereo file): - num is always 1000000 - requested frequency rate is from 7999 to 7999 (single frequency) The first loop calculates div_down(num, freq->min) which is 125. Thus, a frequency range's minimum value is 1000000 / 125 = 8000 Hz. The second loop calculates div_up(num, freq->max) which is 126 The frequency range's maximum value is 1000000 / 126 = 7936 Hz. The range maximum is lower than the range minimum so the function fails due to empty result range. Signed-off-by:

The current Realtek code makes no specific provision for turning stuff off. The codec chip is placed into low-power mode generically, but this doesn't turn off any external hardware connected to it, in particular external amplifiers. This patch creates a hook function that is called by the codec suspend/resume functions. It ought to disable any external hardware in a device-specific way. I've implemented a generic ALC889 function that sets the EAPD pin properly, and used it for the Acer Aspire 8930G which can benefit from this feature. On my laptop, this results in ~0.5W extra savings. Signed-off-by:

adev->dma_mode stores the transfer mode value not UDMA mode number so the condition in cmd64x_set_dmamode() is always true and the higher UDMA clock is always selected. This can potentially result in data corruption when UDMA33 device is used, when 40-wire cable is used or when the error recovery code decides to lower the device speed down. The issue was introduced in the commit 6a40da02 ("libata cmd64x: whack into a shape that looks like the documentation") which goes back to kernel 2.6.20. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:
