Link USB drivers later in the kernel

2005-12-04T04:50:51+00:00

We want to link the "regular" SCSI drivers before the USB storage
driver, since historically we've always detected internal SCSI disks
before the external USB storage modules.

The link order matters for initcall ordering, and this got broken by
mistake by commit 7586269c0b52970f60bb69fcb86e765fc1d72309 which moved
the USB host controller PCI quirk handling around.

[PATCH] RapidIO support: core base

2005-11-07T15:53:46+00:00

Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel.  RIO is a switched fabric interconnect
used in higher-end embedded applications.  The curious can look at the specs
over at http://www.rapidio.org

The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of
devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers.

There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features.
However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start
contributing.

[PATCH] USB: move handoff code

2005-10-28T23:47:38+00:00

This moves the PCI quirk handling for USB host controllers from the
PCI directory to the USB directory.  Follow-on patches will need to:

(a) merge these copies with the originals in the HCD reset methods.
they don't wholly agree, despite doing the very same thing; and

(b) eventually change it so "usb-handoff" is the default, to help
get more robust USB/BIOS/input/... interactions.

[NET]: Add netlink connector.

2005-09-12T02:15:07+00:00

Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
message bus using netlink as it's backend.  Connector was created to
eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
direction.

Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
one of it's backends netlink based network.  One must register
callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.

From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:

	socket();
	bind();
	send();
	recv();

But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
handling...  Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
easier way:

int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);

struct cb_id
{
	__u32			idx;
	__u32			val;
};

idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
connector.h for in-kernel usage.  void (*callback) (void *) - is a
callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
will be received by connector core.

Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
users.

Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

[PATCH] ioc4: CONFIG split

2005-06-22T01:46:32+00:00

The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip drivers are currently all configured by
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4.  This is undesirable as not all IOC4 hardware features
are needed by all systems.

This patch adds two configuration variables, CONFIG_SGI_IOC4 for core IOC4
driver support (see patch 1/3 in this series for further explanation) and
CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_IOC4 to independently enable serial port support.
