[PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to work · a020ed75

David Brownell authored Apr 03, 2006

We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but
that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.

This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc.

It also updates the how-to-write-a-controller-driver overview to mention
this stuff.

[PATCH] SPI: devices can require LSB-first encodings · ccf77cc4

David Brownell authored Apr 03, 2006

Add spi_device hook for LSB-first word encoding, and update all the
(in-tree) controller drivers to reject such devices.  Eventually,
some controller drivers will be updated to support lsb-first encodings
on the wire; no current drivers need this.

[PATCH] SPI: Renamed bitbang_transfer_setup to spi_bitbang_setup_transfer and export it · ff9f4771

Kumar Gala authored Apr 02, 2006

Renamed bitbang_transfer_setup to follow convention of other exported symbols
from spi-bitbang.  Exported spi_bitbang_setup_transfer to allow users of
spi-bitbang to use the function in their own setup_transfer.

[PATCH] SPI: spi bounce buffer has a minimum length · a9948b61

David Brownell authored Apr 02, 2006

Make sure that spi_write_then_read() can always handle at least 32 bytes
of transfer (total, both directions), minimizing one portability issue.

[PATCH] SPI: add PXA2xx SSP SPI Driver · e0c9905e

Stephen Street authored Mar 07, 2006

This driver turns a PXA2xx synchronous serial port (SSP) into a SPI master
controller (see Documentation/spi/spi_summary).  The driver has the following
features:

- Support for any PXA2xx SSP
- SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers.
- External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects.
- Per slave device (chip) configuration.
- Full suspend, freeze, resume support.

[PATCH] SPI: per-transfer overrides for wordsize and clocking · 4cff33f9

Imre Deak authored Feb 17, 2006

Some protocols (like one for some bitmap displays) require different clock
speed or word size settings for each transfer in an SPI message. This adds
those parameters to struct spi_transfer. They are to be used when they are
nonzero; otherwise the defaults from spi_device are to be used.

The patch also adds a setup_transfer callback to spi_bitbang, uses it for
messages that use those overrides, and implements it so that the pure
bitbanging code can help resolve any questions about how it should work.

[PATCH] slab: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() on NUMA · a4523a8b

Roland Dreier authored May 15, 2006

With CONFIG_NUMA set, kmem_cache_destroy() may fail and say "Can't
free all objects."  The problem is caused by sequences such as the
following (suppose we are on a NUMA machine with two nodes, 0 and 1):

 * Allocate an object from cache on node 0.
 * Free the object on node 1.  The object is put into node 1's alien
   array_cache for node 0.
 * Call kmem_cache_destroy(), which ultimately ends up in __cache_shrink().
 * __cache_shrink() does drain_cpu_caches(), which loops through all nodes.
   For each node it drains the shared array_cache and then handles the
   alien array_cache for the other node.

However this means that node 0's shared array_cache will be drained,
and then node 1 will move the contents of its alien[0] array_cache
into that same shared array_cache.  node 0's shared array_cache is
never looked at again, so the objects left there will appear to be in
use when __cache_shrink() calls __node_shrink() for node 0.  So
__node_shrink() will return 1 and kmem_cache_destroy() will fail.

This patch fixes this by having drain_cpu_caches() do
drain_alien_cache() on every node before it does drain_array() on the
nodes' shared array_caches.

The problem was originally reported by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com>.
