Yes, the changes seem a bit big this late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me. The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable kernel rules describing how some distro patches should be backported, to hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable kernel releases.

To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix them reduces the value of -stable. The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention. To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier to entry. This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious" user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available. The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

Plus, it had to wait a little for the ack of a devicetree maintainer since the bindings were not trivial enough for me to pass through. So, given that, I hope there is still something like the "new driver rule", so we could have the driver in 3.5 and people can start using it. That would make merging support for some boards easier for 3.6 since the dependency on this driver is gone then." * 'i2c-embedded/for-current' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/wsa/linux: i2c: Add generic I2C multiplexer using pinctrl API

Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867: "Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on xtime_lock. Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition, this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on many-core systems." Problems: - Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized. - Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick being synchronized. - SGI reports the same for their large systems. - Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal, but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention. - 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention disappeared virtually completely.

This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

Hence, it is relevant to update the DSS device driver to provide an audio interface that may be used by an audio driver or any other driver interested in the functionality. The audio_enable function is intended to prepare the relevant IP for playback (e.g., enabling an audio FIFO, taking in/out of reset some IP, enabling companion chips, etc). It is intended to be called before audio_start. The audio_disable function performs the reverse operation and is intended to be called after audio_stop. While a given DSS device driver may support audio, it is possible that for certain configurations audio is not supported (e.g., an HDMI display using a VESA video timing). The audio_supported function is intended to query whether the current configuration of the display supports audio. The audio_config function is intended to configure all the relevant audio parameters of the display. In order to make the function independent of any specific DSS device driver, a struct omap_dss_audio is defined. Its purpose is to contain all the required parameters for audio configuration. At the moment, such structure contains pointers to IEC-60958 channel status word and CEA-861 audio infoframe structures. This should be enough to support HDMI and DisplayPort, as both are based on CEA-861 and IEC-60958. The omap_dss_audio structure may be extended in the future if required. The audio_enable/disable, audio_config and audio_supported functions could be implemented as functions that may sleep. Hence, they should not be called while holding a spinlock or a readlock. The audio_start/audio_stop function is intended to effectively start/stop audio playback after the configuration has taken place. These functions are designed to be used in an atomic context. Hence, audio_start should return quickly and be called only after all the needed resources for audio playback (audio FIFOs, DMA channels, companion chips, etc) have been enabled to begin data transfers. audio_stop is designed to only stop the audio transfers. The resources used for playback are released using audio_disable. A new enum omap_dss_audio_state is introduced to help the implementations of the interface to keep track of the audio state. The initial state is _DISABLED; then, the state transitions to _CONFIGURED, and then, when it is ready to play audio, to _ENABLED. The state _PLAYING is used when the audio is being rendered.

MTD returns -EUCLEAN if this is >= bitflip_threshold, 0 otherwise. If bitflip_threshold is zero, the comparison is not made since these devices lack ECC and always return zero in the non-error case (thanks Brian)¹. Note that this is a subtle change to the driver interface. This and the preceding patches in this set were tested with ubi on top of the nandsim and docg4 devices, running the ubi test io_basic from mtd-utils. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-March/040468.html Signed-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Acked-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Acked-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Ivan Djelic <ivan.djelic@parrot.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
| * | | | | | | mtd: bitflip_threshold added to mtd_info and sysfsMike Dunn2012-05-131-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An element 'bitflip_threshold' is added to struct mtd_info, and also exposed as a read/write variable in sysfs. This will be used to determine whether or not mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN or 0 (absent a hard error). If the driver leaves it as zero, mtd will set it to a default value of ecc_strength. This v2 adds the line that propagates bitflip_threshold from the master to the partitions - thanks Ivan¹. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-April/040900.html Signed-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
