| * DMA-API.txt: fix description of pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg scatterlists handlingFUJITA Tomonori2008-12-011-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg are used with a scatter gather list that doesn't come from the block layer (e.g. some network drivers do). - how IOMMUs merge adjacent elements of the scatter/gather list is independent of how the block layer determines sees elements.

| * epoll: introduce resource usage limitsDavide Libenzi2008-12-011-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

It tries to have more or less the same interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as a joystick. This driver was first written by Yan Burman. Eric Piel has updated it and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for now). Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from semaphore to mutex. Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.

I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad. This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up patches. "acpi_backlight=vendor" Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight. "acpi_backlight=video" (default) Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

For all the GPEs and Fixed Events, 1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event. 2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set, it's "disabled". 3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set, it's "enabled". 4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set, it's "wake_enabled". Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".

* | | | | | dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctlGerrit Renker2008-11-161-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since * Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4, * Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1); * even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it: - Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2), - if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts (since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window), - cwnd is not a user-configurable value. The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe. With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation: * Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID; * if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack Ratio 2 for both endpoints"; * what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices). Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.
