Virtio interface

2007-10-23T05:49:54+00:00

This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.

i2c: Kill struct i2c_device_id

2007-10-13T21:56:29+00:00

I2C devices do not have any form of ID as PCI or USB devices have.
No driver uses "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)" because it doesn't
make sense. So we can get rid of struct i2c_device_id and the
associated support code.

* 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6: (867 commits)
  [SKY2]: status polling loop (post merge)
  [NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers.
  [TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do cases
  [TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems
  [TCP]: No need to re-count fackets_out/sacked_out at RTO
  [TCP]: Extract tcp_match_queue_to_sack from sacktag code
  [TCP]: Kill almost unused variable pcount from sacktag
  [TCP]: Fix mark_head_lost to ignore R-bit when trying to mark L
  [TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO too
  [IPv6]: Update setsockopt(IPV6_MULTICAST_IF) to support RFC 3493, try2
  [NETFILTER]: x_tables: add missing ip6t_modulename aliases
  [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening
  [QETH]: fix qeth_main.c
  [NETLINK]: fib_frontend build fixes
  [IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support)
  [9P]: build fix with !CONFIG_SYSCTL
  [NET]: Fix dev_put() and dev_hold() comments
  [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
  [NET]: unify netlink kernel socket recognition
  [NET]: cleanup 3rd argument in netlink_sendskb
  ...

Fix up conflicts manually in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and my new least favourite crap, the "mod_devicetable" support in the
files include/linux/mod_devicetable.h and scripts/mod/file2alias.c.

(The latter files seem to be explicitly _designed_ to get conflicts when
different subsystems work with them - that have an absolutely horrid
lack of subsystem separation!)

[SSB]: add Sonics Silicon Backplane bus support

2007-10-10T23:51:36+00:00

SSB is an SoC bus used in a number of embedded devices.  The most
well-known of these devices is probably the Linksys WRT54G, but there
are others as well.  The bus is also used internally on the BCM43xx
and BCM44xx devices from Broadcom.

This patch also includes support for SSB ID tables in modules, so
that SSB drivers can be loaded automatically.

Cross-compilation between e.g. i386 -> 64bit could break -> work around it

2007-08-17T22:16:37+00:00

Adrian Bunk: scripts/mod/file2alias.c is compiled with HOSTCC and ensures that
kernel_ulong_t is correct, but it can't cope with different padding on
different architectures.

ACPI: autoload modules - Create ACPI alias interface

2007-07-23T17:56:16+00:00

Modify modpost (file2alias.c) to add acpi*:XYZ0001: alias in modules.alias
like:
grep acpi /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc4-default/modules.alias
alias acpi*:SNY5001:* sony_laptop
alias acpi*:SNY6001:* sony_laptop
for e.g. the sony_laptop module.
This module matches against all ACPI devices with a HID or CID of SNY5001
or SNY6001

Export an uevent and modalias sysfs file containing the string:
[MODALIAS=]acpi:PNP0C0C:
additional CIDs are concatenated at the end.

kbuild: remove dependency on input.h from file2alias

2007-05-02T18:58:08+00:00

Almost all definitions used by file2alias was already
present in mod_devicetable.h.
Added the last definition and killed the input.h usage.
