This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of
the flattened device tree format. Version 17 is a small, backwards
compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the
size of the device tree's structure block. At this time, the kernel
has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make
life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree.
In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field
of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened
tree format, but omitted from the documentation. It also makes
changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and
17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used
for version 16 previously.
Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device
tree header structure in prom.h

This adds two sysfs attributes to /sys/bus/ibmebus which can be used to
notify the ebus driver of added / removed ebus devices in the OF device
tree.
Echoing the device's location code (as found in the OFDT "ibm,loc-code"
property) into the "probe" attribute will notify ebus of addition of the
device and cause the appropriate device driver's probe function to be called
on the device.
Likewise, echoing the location code into the "remove" attribute will cause
the device to be removed from the system.
The writes will block until the respective operation has finished and return
an error code if the operation failed.
In addition, two minor tidbits are fixed:
- The fake root device used to provide a common parent for all ebus devices
is now based on device instead of of_device - it had no associated devtree
node. This saves several checks throughout the ebus driver.
- The sysfs attributes are now generated automagically by device_register()
instead of by the ibmebus code, which saves a few compiler warnings about
unused return codes.

Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for powerpc
Fixes it correctly with *_ti_thread_flag.
Race :
parent process executing :
sys_ptrace()
(lock_kernel())
(ptrace_get_task_struct(pid))
arch_ptrace()
ptrace_detach()
ptrace_disable(child);
clear_singlestep(child);
clear_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_SINGLESTEP);
(which clears the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag atomically from a different
process)
(put_task_struct(child))
(unlock_kernel())
And at the same time, in the child process :
sys_execve()
do_execve()

load_elf_binary()

flush_thread()
doing a non-atomic thread flag update
Applies on 2.6.20.

Samba server now expects that clients which send the new
POSIX_PATH_OPERATIONS_CAP send all opens with this new
SMB - and expects that clients that could send the new
posix open/create but don't as indicating that they really
want Windows semantics on that handle (which allows Samba
to support clients which want to support both types of
behaviors on different handles on the same mount)
We will put this capability back in the SetFSInfo
negotiation with servers like Samba when the
new POSIXCreate (create/open/mkdir) code is finished.

Most of ft_get_parent() is factored out into __ft_get_parent(), which
deals only in internal node pointers. The ft_get_parent() wrapper
handles phandle conversion in both directions (previously,
ft_get_parent() did not convert its return value).
It also now returns NULL as the parent of the toplevel node, rather than
just returning the toplevel node again (which made it rather useless in
loops).

The property searching part of ft_get_prop is factored out into an
internal __ft_get_prop() which does not deal with phandles and does not
copy the property data. ft_get_prop() is then a wrapper that does the
phandle translation and copying.

This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs
attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The
previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is
by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding.
The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so
that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available
to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need
to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's
context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to
unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

Trying to build some code using atomic_clear_mask() on a ARM v6
processor with a recent compiler (tried with gcc version 4.1.1
(CodeSourcery ARM Sourcery G++ 2006q3-26), but
all gcc > 4.1 might be affected) results in the following:
/tmp/ccWKLJV8.s: Assembler messages:

Older gcc (like gcc version 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.1 4.0.0)) have no problem
with this.
The patch below fixes the compile error. I also verified that gcc-4.0.0 generates identical code using both forms.

The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and
was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll
routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for
example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled
interrupts could be missed. This patch fixes that by ensuring that the
interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when
interrupts are enabled from the chip.
It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and
improves the trace for interrupt events.
Thanks to Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> for spotting the

The natsemi drivers include functions for enabling and disabling
interrupts from the chip but these are not used in all code paths. This
patch changes the code paths that touch the interrupt enable register to
use the functions. In all cases this adds an extra PCI read to post the
operation but since none of these are in fast paths this shouldn't be
too much of a problem.

When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address. When this happens
as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to
both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do
anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against
other admin actions.
This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion
while address is changing.
