2008-02-07Documentation: create new scheduler/ subdirectoryJ. Bruce Fields
The top-level Documentation/ directory is unmanageably large, so we should take any obvious opportunities to move stuff into subdirectories. These sched-*.txt files seem an obvious easy case.

2008-02-01USB: Add documentation for USB suspend statistics.Sarah Sharp
This documents two newly created files: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration Documentation was placed in Documentation/ABI/testing, since that's where the documentation is for the other USB sysfs power files.

2007-07-12USB: add power/persist device attributeAlan Stern
This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the power/persist device attribute. The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared. Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before. The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and there are corresponding documentation updates.

2007-07-10ieee1394: remove old isochronous ABIStefan Richter
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.

2007-04-27USB: add power/level sysfs attributeAlan Stern
This patch (as874) adds another piece to the user-visible part of the USB autosuspend interface. The new power/level sysfs attribute allows users to force the device on (with autosuspend off), force the device to sleep (with autoresume off), or return to normal automatic operation.

2007-04-27USB: Allow autosuspend delay to equal 0Alan Stern
This patch (as867) adds an entry for the new power/autosuspend attribute in Documentation/ABI/testing, and it changes the behavior of the delay value. Now a delay of 0 means to autosuspend as soon as possible, and negative values will prevent autosuspend.

2007-04-09ieee1394: change deprecation status of dv1394Stefan Richter
Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no justification to remove dv1394 right now. Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense, especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the moment. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2006-11-03[PATCH] swsusp: debuggingRafael J. Wysocki
Add a swsusp debugging mode. This does everything that's needed for a suspend except for actually suspending. So we can look in the log messages and work out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving. (1) # echo testproc > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5 seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU. (2) # echo test > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc. Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: Stefan Seyfried <seife@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
