devres: device resource management

2007-02-09T22:39:36+00:00

Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.

devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
supported.

devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).

This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.

* alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA		: dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
		  dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
		  dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI		: pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap		: devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
		  devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
		  pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] add poison.h and patch primary users

2006-06-28T00:32:38+00:00

Localize poison values into one header file for better documentation and
easier/quicker debugging and so that the same values won't be used for
multiple purposes.

Use these constants in core arch., mm, driver, and fs code.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
