The current ide-cd driver reports the CDROM speed (as found in
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info) as the current speed when loading the driver.
Changing the speed of the cdrom drive (by "eject -x" for instance) doesn't
update the speed reported by the kernel. Updating the info could be
valuable for the user as it's the only way to know if the drive accepted
the request or discarded it. It could even be used to list all the
available speeds of the drive.
The attached patch modifies the ide-cd driver so that after every speed
change request the new speed is updated. Please note that the actual
modification is very little but I had to touch quite a few lines in order
to avoid to pre-declare the sub-functions.

The HCDP specs (i.e., PCDP revision < 3) allow zero as a default value for
baud rate and data bits. So if firmware doesn't supply them, let
early_serial_console_init() probe for them rather than telling it the baud
rate is zero.
Also, update the URL for the PCDP spec.

This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.
As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

- make boot-up card recognition more reliable (ie. redo interrogation
always if there is no valid 'card inserted' state) (and yes, i saw it
happening on an o2micro controller that both CB_CBARD and CB_16BITCARD
bits were set at the same time)
- also redo interrogation before probing the ISA interrupts. it's safer
to do the probing with the socket in a clean state.
- make card insert detect more reliable. yenta_get_status() now returns
SS_PENDING as long as the card is not completley inserted and one of the
voltage bits is set. also !CB_CBARD doesn't mean CB_16BITCARD. there is
CB_NOTACARD as well, so make an explicit check for CB_16BITCARD.
- for TI bridges: disable IRQs during power-on. in all-serial and tied
interrupt mode the interrupts are always disabled for single-slot
controllers. for two-slot contollers the disabling is only done when the
other slot is empty. to force disabling there is a new module parameter
now: pwr_irqs_off=Y (which is a regression for working setups. that's
why it's an option, only use when required)
- modparm to disable ISA interrupt probing (isa_probe, defaults to on)
- remove unneeded code/cleanups (ie. merge yenta_events() into
yenta_interrupts())

kernel 2.6.12-rc2 adopted some code by Bjorn Helgaas supporting NetMos combo
controller cards. this implementation doesn't work for nm9855 based cards!
there are two reasons:
a) the module 'parport_pc' doesn't want to give the resonsibility for
the netmos_9855 to 'parport_serial' and can not handle the serial lines
-- trivial to fix...
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-parport/2005-February/000250.htmlhttp://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/24/199 b) the support for the nm9855 in
'parport_serial' still doesn't work because of wrong assumptions about
the relevant BARs port address layout for this chip:
0000:00:09.0 Communication controller:
NetMos Technology PCI 9855
Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)
(= 9710:9855)
Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 1P4S (= 1000:0014)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 177
I/O ports at a800 [size=8] (= parport)
I/O ports at a400 [size=8]
I/O ports at a000 [size=8] (= serial)
I/O ports at 9800 [size=8] (= serial)
I/O ports at 9400 [size=8] (= serial)
I/O ports at 9000 [size=16] (= serial)
the following patch will fix the problem.

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is
nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).
Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K
block size, 4K page size). System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters
on it in the following situations:
rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count
are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any
waiter.
Memory allocation for the request fails. In this case, there is no additional
help provided by the memory barrier. We are guaranteed to eventually wake up
waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem
allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight. They
will wake up waiters when they are retired.

blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary
allocations/frees on tag resize. However, the whole thing was very broken -
tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the
end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing
a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags.
As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the
whole thing.

Add a watchdog using the RTAS OS surveillance service. This is
provided as a simpler alternative to rtasd. The added value
is that it works with standard watchdog client programs and
can therefore also do user space monitoring.
On BPA, rtasd is not really useful because the hardware does
not have much to report with event-scan.
The driver should also work on other platforms that support
the OS surveillance rtas calls.
