2009-06-30cpusets: document adding/removing cpus to cpuset elaboratelyNikanth Karthikesan
By writing a tasks's pid to the file, a process adds that task to that cgroup/cpuset. But to add a cpu/mem to a cpuset, the new list of cpus should be written to the cpuset.mems file which would replace the old list of cpus. Make this clearer in the documentation.

2009-06-30spi: new spi->mode bitsDavid Brownell
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and pass them through to usermode drivers: * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still full duplex. This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state transitions with the SPI master. * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal 4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus each of the 3-wire flavors). Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not many host controllers support it today. The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support (unlike SPI_READY).

2009-06-26kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak fileCatalin Marinas
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings.

2009-06-25kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.Catalin Marinas
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

2009-06-23leds: Add options to have GPIO LEDs start on or keep their stateTrent Piepho
There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it. For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support to be compiled in. But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems. One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch. Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code. We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux. This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not. The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data "default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on", "off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is specified supplying two parameters: - period: from 0s to 1.6s - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100 LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb leds, the camera flash light and the displays backlights.

2009-06-22dm raid1: add userspace logJonthan Brassow
This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards requests to userspace for processing. The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency, diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for communication. The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk" and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible. (Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror. They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is done, not the second.)

2009-06-22dm mpath: add service time load balancerKiyoshi Ueda
This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer, dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated service time for the incoming I/O. The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size by a performance value of each path. The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table loading time. If no performance value is given, all paths are considered equal.

2009-06-22dm mpath: add queue length load balancerKiyoshi Ueda
This patch adds a dynamic load balancer, dm-queue-length, which balances the number of in-flight I/Os across the paths.

2009-06-22x86: implement percpu_alloc kernel parameterTejun Heo
According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more data. This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing. While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also, kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized quite some time ago.

2009-06-21sdhci: Add support for hosts that are only capable of 1-bit transfersAnton Vorontsov
Some hosts (hardware configurations, or particular SD/MMC slots) may not support 4-bit bus. For example, on MPC8569E-MDS boards we can switch between serial (1-bit only) and nibble (4-bit) modes, thought we have to disable more peripherals to work in 4-bit mode. Along with some small core changes, this patch modifies sdhci-of driver, so that now it looks for "sdhci,1-bit-only" property in the device-tree, and if specified we enable a proper quirk.
