* [PATCH] dm: add exportsAlasdair G Kergon2006-06-262-80/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Move definitions of core device-mapper functions for manipulating mapped devices and their tables to <linux/device-mapper.h> advertising their availability for use elsewhere in the kernel. Protect the contents of device-mapper.h with ifdef __KERNEL__. And throw in a few formatting clean-ups and extra comments.

* [PATCH] dm mirror log: sector size fixKevin Corry2006-06-262-50/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On-disk logs for dm-mirror devices are currently hard-coded to use 512 byte hard-sector-sizes. This patch fixes dm-log so it will work with devices with non-512-byte hard-sector-sizes. To maintain full compatibility, instead of moving the clean-bits bitset to a bitset, and enlarges the disk-header buffer to encompass both the header and the bitset. The I/O routines for the bitset are removed, and the I/O routines for the disk-header now also read/write the bitset.

* [PATCH] dm: mirror sector offset fixNeil Brown2006-06-261-31/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The device-mapper core does not perform any remapping of bios before passing them to the targets. If a particular mapping begins part-way into a device, targets obtain the sector relative to the start of the mapping by subtracting ti->begin. The dm-raid1 target didn't do this everywhere: this patch fixes it, taking care to subtract ti->begin exactly once for each bio.

This patch uses a new flag DMF_FREEING to indicate when the mapped_device is no longer valid.

At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm subsystem.

* [PATCH] dm snapshot: unify chunk_sizeAlasdair G Kergon2006-06-262-26/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size. Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two. Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported. The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place, removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into) is reinitialised to the correct size.

* [PATCH] VT binding: Add sysfs control to the VT layerAntonino A. Daplas2006-06-261-147/+232
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add sysfs control to the VT layer. A new sysfs class, 'vtconsole', and class devices 'vtcon[n]' are added. Each class device file has the following attributes: /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon[n]/name - read-only attribute showing the name of the current backend /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon[n]/bind - read/write attribute where: 0 - backend is unbound/unbind backend from the VT layer 1 - backend is bound/bind backend to the VT layer In addition, if any of the consoles are in KD_GRAPHICS mode, binding and unbinding will not succeed. KD_GRAPHICS mode usually indicates that the underlying console hardware is used for other purposes other than displaying text (ie X). This feature should prevent binding/unbinding from interfering with a graphics application using the VT.

* [PATCH] VT binding: Update fbcon to support bindingAntonino A. Daplas2006-06-262-61/+150
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The control for binding/unbinding is moved from fbcon to the console layer. Thus the fbcon sysfs attributes, attach and detach, are also gone. 1. Add a notifier event that tells fbcon if a framebuffer driver has been unregistered. If no registered driver remains, fbcon will unregister itself from the console layer. 2. Replaced calls to give_up_console() with unregister_con_driver(). 3. Still use take_over_console() instead of register_con_driver() to maintain compatibility 4. Respect the parameter first_fb_vc and last_fb_vc instead of using 0 and MAX_NR_CONSOLES - 1. These parameters are settable by the user. 5. When fbcon is completely unbound from the console layer, fbcon will also release (iow, decrement module reference counts to zero) all fbdev drivers. In other words, a bind or unbind request from the console layer will propagate down to the framebuffer drivers. 6. If fbcon is not bound to the console, it will ignore all notifier events (except driver registration and unregistration) and all sysfs requests.

* [PATCH] VT binding: Add binding/unbinding support for the VT consoleAntonino A. Daplas2006-06-261-33/+434
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The framebuffer console is now able to dynamically bind and unbind from the VT console layer. Due to the way the VT console layer works, the drivers themselves decide when to bind or unbind. However, it was decided that binding must be controlled, not by the drivers themselves, but by the VT console layer. With this, dynamic binding is possible for all VT console drivers, not just fbcon. Thus, the VT console layer will impose the following to all VT console drivers: - all registered VT console drivers will be entered in a private list - drivers can register themselves to the VT console layer, but they cannot decide when to bind or unbind. (Exception: To maintain backwards compatibility, take_over_console() will automatically bind the driver after registration.) - drivers can remove themselves from the list by unregistering from the VT console layer. A prerequisite for unregistration is that the driver must not be bound. The following functions are new in the vt.c: register_con_driver() - public function, this function adds the VT console driver to an internal list maintained by the VT console bind_con_driver() - private function, it binds the driver to the console take_over_console() is changed to call register_con_driver() followed by a bind_con_driver(). This is the only time drivers can decide when to bind to the VT layer. This is to maintain backwards compatibility. unbind_con_driver() - private function, it unbinds the driver from its console. The vacated consoles will be taken over by the default boot console driver. unregister_con_driver() - public function, removes the driver from the internal list maintained by the VT console. It will only succeed if the driver is currently unbound. con_is_bound() checks if the driver is currently bound or not give_up_console() is just a wrapper to unregister_con_driver(). There are also 3 additional functions meant to be called only by the tty layer for sysfs control: vt_bind() - calls bind_con_driver() vt_unbind() - calls unbind_con_driver() vt_show_drivers() - shows the list of registered drivers Most VT console drivers will continue to work as is, but might have problems when unbinding or binding which should be fixable with minimal changes.

* [PATCH] Detaching fbcon: add capability to attach/detach fbconAntonino A. Daplas2006-06-261-58/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the ability to detach and attach the framebuffer console to and from the vt layer. This is done by echo'ing any value to sysfs attributes located in class/graphics/fbcon. The two attributes are: attach - bind fbcon to the vt layer detach - unbind fbcon from the vt layer Once fbcon is detached from the vt layer, fbcon can be unloaded if compiled as a module. This feature is quite useful for developers who work on the framebuffer or console subsystem. This is also useful for users who want to go to text mode or graphics mode without having to reboot. Directly unloading the fbcon module is not possible because the vt layer increments the module reference count for all bound consoles. Detaching fbcon decrements the module reference count to zero so unloading becomes possible. Detaching fbcon may interfere with X and/or DRM.

Console-specific attributes which where previously under class/graphics/fb[x] are moved to class/graphics/fbcon. These attributes, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all', are also renamed to 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively.

* [PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix give_up_console()Antonino A. Daplas2006-06-261-8/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow for detaching fbcon, it must be able to give up the console. However, the function give_up_console() is plain broken. It just sets the entries in the console driver map to NULL, it leaves the vt layer without a console driver, and does not decrement the module reference count. Calling give_up_console() is guaranteed to hang the machine.. To fix this problem, ensure that the virtual consoles are not left dangling without a driver. All systems have a default boot driver (either vgacon or dummycon) which is never unloaded. For those vt's that lost their driver, the default boot driver is reassigned back to them.

* [PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix vgacon to allow retaking of the consoleAntonino A. Daplas2006-06-261-6/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the limitations of the framebuffer console system is its inablity to unload or detach itself from the console layer. And once it loads, it also locks in framebuffer drivers preventing their unload. Although the con2fbmap utility does provide a means to unload individual drivers, it requires that at least one framebuffer driver is loaded for use by fbcon. With this change, it is possible to detach fbcon from the console layer. If it is detached, it will reattach the boot console driver (which is permanently loaded) back to the console layer so the system can continue to work. As a consequence, fbcon will also decrement its reference count of individual framebuffer drivers, allowing all of these drivers to be unloaded even if fbcon is still loaded. Unless you use drivers that restores the display to text mode (rivafb and i810fb, for example), detaching fbcon does require assistance from userspace tools (ie, vbetools) for text mode to be restored completely. Without the help of these tools, fbcon will leave the VGA console corrupted. The methods that can be used will be described in Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt. Because the vt layer also increments the module reference count for each console driver, fbcon cannot be directly unloaded. It must be detached first prior to unload. Similarly, fbcon can be reattached to the console layer without having to reload the module. A nice feature if fbcon is compiled statically. Attaching and detaching fbcon is done via sysfs attributes. A class device entry for fbcon is created in /sys/class/graphics. The two attributes that controls this feature are detach and attach. Two other attributes that are piggybacked under /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] that are fbcon-specific, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all' are moved to fbcon. They are renamed as 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively. Overall, this feature is a great help for developers working in the framebuffer or console layer. There is not need to continually reboot the kernel for every small change. It is also useful for regular users who wants to choose between a graphical console or a text console without having to reboot. Example usage for x86: /* start in text mode */ modprobe xxxfb modprobe fbcon /* graphical mode with fbcon using xxxfb */ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/detach /* back to text mode, will produce corrupt display unless vbetool is used */ rmmod xxxfb modprobe yyyfb /* back to graphical mode with fbcon using yyyfb */ Before trying out this feature, please read Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt. This patch: In order for fbcon to detach itself from the console layer, vgacon, which is a boot console driver, must be fixed so it can retake the console multiple times, not just during init. The following needs to be done: - remove __init from the vgacon_startup, this is called again by take_over_console(). - vc->rows and vc->cols are set manually by vgacon during init. After init, vc_resize() can be used - make sure the scrollback_buffer is not reallocated Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] fbdev: Fix logo rotation if width != heightAntonino A. Daplas2006-06-261-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | Logo drawing crashes or produces a corrupt display if the logo width and height are not equal. The dimensions are transposed prior to the actual rotation and the width is used instead of the height in the actual rotation code. These produce a corrupt image.

* [PATCH] neofb: fix unblank logic interfering with lid toggled backlightChristian Trefzer2006-06-261-9/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a fix for the most annoying problem that remained with neofb: After "setterm -powersave powerdown" the console blanker will disable the backlight after the given timeout expires. If this happens after the lid has been shut, we read "LCD off" from the register and store that in the driver. Once the lid is opened, the backlight turns on, but any key press that would awaken the blanked console will switch the backlight off again. The workaround so far was to use the "display config toggle" Fn key combo - once if no external display is attached, otherwise as often as required to restore the desired display setup. The following patch fixes the issue at least for the LCD-only case, with no external monitor attached. Other display setup permutations are pending further testing, but so far I can guarantee at least no negative change in behaviour, if any at all.
