| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The arch/ppc tree has been in a semi-nebulous "bug fix only" state for a few kernel releases now. The patch below officially declares this as of the 2.6.22 kernel release and schedules arch/ppc for removal in June of 2008.

* | | add printk.time option, deprecate 'time'Randy Dunlap2007-07-161-0/+8

Previously it could be enabled only, but not disabled. Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is. Make its logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time"). Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value". Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be changed at run-time by modifying /sys/module/printk/parameters/time to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it. Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also be set at boot-time by using linux printk.time=<bool> If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated and will be removed. Note its planned removal in feature-removal-schedule.txt.

* | ieee1394: remove old isochronous ABIStefan Richter2007-07-101-10/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}" from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006. This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception and transmission. Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no longer useful for isochronous applications. raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

* | libata: remove libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo2007-05-171-13/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't necessary anymore. If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata warns. If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does the right thing. Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

* libata: implement libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo2007-05-111-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming, some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so this double spinning down causes problem. This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which, when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down in all cases without modifying shutdown(8). shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be dangerous data integrity-wise. So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do. * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat exists. If it does, write 0 to it. * For each libata harddisk { * Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk down as before. } The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without it. To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by hours of tireless usability testing).

The same change must be mirrored to i2c-isa as it duplicates some of the i2c-core functionalities. User-space tools and libraries might need some adjustments. In particular, libsensors from lm_sensors 2.10.3 or later is required for proper discovery of i2c adapter names after this change. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
* | [S390] cio: Deprecate read_dev_chars() and read_conf_data{,_lpm}().Cornelia Huck2007-05-041-0/+17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | These helper functions are a leftover from 2.4 sync I/O and are a notorious source for bugs. They lead to device driver specific code creeping into cio, and some issues can't really be fixed at all. Device drivers can easily implement those functions themselves in a more robust manner, so let's get rid of them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick around for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never really used, this schedules it for removal. The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only have an alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is incomplete.
