[PATCH] ibmasm: use after free fix

2006-03-10T03:47:37+00:00

The kobject_put() can free the memory at *cmd, but cmd->lock points to a
persistent lock that is not freed with cmd.

[SERIAL] Remove UPF_AUTOPROBE and UPF_BOOT_ONLYMCA

2006-01-21T20:06:14+00:00

The functionality UPF_BOOT_ONLYMCA provided has been replaced by
the 8250_mca module, which only registers MCA ports if MCA is
present.

UPF_AUTOPROBE has no functional effect - in fact, it's never
tested.  Only ibmasm set the flag.

Input: ibmasm - fix input initialization error path

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

Do not try to free device that has already been unregistered,
input_unregister_device() frees it automatically.

Input: ibmasm - convert to dynamic input_dev allocation

2006-01-07T16:35:05+00:00

Update the ibmasm driver to use the dynamic allocation of input_dev
structs to work with the sysfs subsystem.

Vojtech: Fixed some problems/bugs in the patch.
Dmitry: Fixed some more.

[PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason

2005-11-09T15:55:57+00:00

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

search pattern:
/UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h

[PATCH] ibmasm driver: fix race in command refcount logic

2005-06-22T02:07:35+00:00

This patch fixes a race in the command reference counting logic by putting
spinlocks around kobject_put() in the command_put function.

- Also added debug messages.

- Changed a memcpy to memcpy_fromio since we are reading from io space.

[PATCH] ibmasm driver: redesign handling of remote control events

2005-06-22T02:07:35+00:00

This patch rewrites the handling of remote control events.  Rather than making
them available from a special file in the ibmasmfs, now the events from the
RSA card get translated into kernel input events and injected into the input
subsystem.  The driver now will generate two /dev/input/eventX nodes -- one
for the keyboard and one for the mouse.  The mouse node generates absolute
events more like a touch pad than a mouse.

[PATCH] ibmasm driver: correctly wake up sleeping threads

2005-06-22T02:07:34+00:00

Due to my incomplete understanding of the wait_event_interruptible() function
threads waiting for service processor events were not woken up.  This patch
fixes that problem.

[PATCH] ibmasm driver: fix command buffer size

2005-06-22T02:07:34+00:00

First of a series of patches for the ibmasm driver.  (that is the driver for
the IBM xSeries RSA service processor)

To summarize what they do:

[1] change a #define for the buffer size for commands

[2] Fix a bug where threads in the event handling code calling
    wait_event_interruptible() weren't woken up as expected.

[3] Redesigned how remote mouse and keyboard events received by the driver
    are handled.

[4] Fixed a race in the command reference counting logic.

This patch:

- change a #define for the buffer size for commands
