device create: char: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata

2008-07-22T04:54:41+00:00

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54+00:00

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

[PATCH] IPMI: remove zero inits

2006-12-10T17:55:40+00:00

Remove all =0 and =NULL from static initializers.  They are not needed and
removing them saves space in the object files.

[PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance mode

2006-12-07T16:39:47+00:00

Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a
while.  This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that
nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad
things to happen when in firmware update mode.

Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware
command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds.  It also add a
manual override either way.

[PATCH] IPMI: per-channel command registration

2006-10-01T07:39:23+00:00

This patch adds the ability to register for a command per-channel in the
IPMI driver.

If your BMC supports multiple channels, incoming messages can be useful to
have the ability to register to receive commands on a specific channel
instead the current behaviour of all channels.

[PATCH] make more file_operation structs static

2006-07-03T22:26:59+00:00

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..
