Some ioctls have structs that are a different size depending on what type of buffer is being used.

2009-05-09V4L/DVB (11661): v4l2-ioctl: Check buffer types using g_fmt instead of try_fmtTrent Piepho
For a number of different ioctls, the v4l2-ioctl code checks that the passed buffer type is supported by the driver. It did this by checking that the driver defined a method for the try_fmt handler for that buffer type. However, try_fmt is optional and a driver might not provide it even though it does support that type. So use g_fmt instead, since that isn't optional. This should fix a problem with VBI capture with saa7146. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

Restructure the loop so this can't happen. It's simpler this way too. The unnecessary check for (unsigned)fmt->index < 0 found by Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com> is removed this way too.

2009-05-08Revert driver core: move platform_data into platform_deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit 006f4571a15fae3a0575f2a0f9e9b63b3d1012f8: This patch moves platform_data from struct device into struct platform_device, based on the two ideas: 1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

2009-05-07random: make get_random_int() more randomLinus Torvalds
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current "secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_ hashing area, so that it gets updated every time. And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't have a single seed. Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference. I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong: having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness, and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won out.

2009-05-07md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.NeilBrown
md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has which role in the array. e.g. rd2 -> dev-sda indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda. These links are only present when the array is active. They are created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed immediately after ->stop is called. However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before they are removed. So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when the array is active. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-07md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.NeilBrown
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient. It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing 'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean' until the first write. It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active'). Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the active array as clean at the same time as another program writes 'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately reactivated which isn't what was desired. So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array. This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

2009-05-07md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.NeilBrown
Two problems in status_resync. 1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code now uses sectors uniformly. 2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds the range of "unsigned long". So - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers in there and in 'resync' - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of remaining sectors. - use sector_div rather than normal division. - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'. + making it a power of 2 makes division easier + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged speed over the entire run. Now we average speed over the last 30 seconds or so. Reported-by: "Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe" <Mario.Holbe@TU-Ilmenau.DE> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
