Add a function to allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread
processing it is needed by the slow-work facility to perform other work.
Sometimes a work item can't progress immediately, but must wait for the
completion of another work item that's currently being processed by another
slow-work thread.
In some circumstances, the waiting item could instead - theoretically - put
itself back on the queue and yield its thread back to the slow-work facility,
thus waiting till it gets processing time again before attempting to progress.
This would allow other work items processing time on that thread.
However, this only works if there is something on the queue for it to queue
behind - otherwise it will just get a thread again immediately, and will end
up cycling between the queue and the thread, eating up valuable CPU time.
So, slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is provided such that an item can put
itself on a wait queue that will wake it up when the event it is actually
interested in occurs, then call this function in lieu of calling schedule().
This function will then sleep until either the item's event occurs or another
work item appears on the queue. If another work item is queued, but the
item's event hasn't occurred, then the work item should requeue itself and
yield the thread back to the slow-work facility by returning.
This can be used by CacheFiles for an object that is being created on one
thread to wait for an object being deleted on another thread where there is
nothing on the queue for the creation to go and wait behind. As soon as an
item appears on the queue that could be given thread time instead, CacheFiles
can stick the creating object back on the queue and return to the slow-work
facility - assuming the object deletion didn't also complete.

Add a function (slow_work_is_queued()) to permit the owner of a work item to
determine if the item is queued or not.
The work item is counted as being queued if it is actually on the queue, not
just if it is pending. If it is executing and pending, then it is not on the
queue, but will rather be put back on the queue when execution finishes.
This permits a caller to quickly work out if it may be able to put another,
dependent work item on the queue behind it, or whether it will have to wait
till that is finished.
This can be used by CacheFiles to work out whether the creation a new object
can be immediately deferred when it has to wait for an old object to be
deleted, or whether a wait must take place. If a wait is necessary, then the
slow-work thread can otherwise get blocked, preventing the deletion from
taking place.

Dave,
Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch.
Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic
was still there -- to my surprise it was not. This is because of the conversion
of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[].
While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is
still valid. It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug
events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default,
while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user.
ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned
properly when hotplugging devices

This is for consistency with various ioctl() operations that include the

I'm fine with anything that makes it more consistent, and if PGRP is what

Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel
Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig. This is
obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in
the same image.
After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with
parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in
process. It was also working for s390 before.
This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the
memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against
hibernation.
Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and

This patch (as1299b) fixes a bug in an error-handling path of usbmon's
binary interface. The storage area for URB data is divided into
fixed-size blocks. If an URB's data can't be copied, the area
reserved for it should be decreased to the size of the truncated
information (rounded up to a block boundary). Rounding up the amount
to be removed and subtracting it from the reserved size is definitely
the wrong thing to do.
Also, when the data for an isochronous URB can't be copied, we can
still copy the isoc packet descriptors. In fact the current code does
copy the descriptors, but then sets the capture length to 0 so they
remain inaccessible. The capture length should be reduced to the
length of the descriptors, not set to 0.

The trb_in_td() function in the xHCI driver is supposed to translate a
physical transfer buffer request (TRB) into a virtual pointer to the ring
segment that TRB is in.
Unfortunately, a mistake in this function may cause endless loops as the
driver searches through the linked list of ring segments over and over
again. Fix a couple bugs that may lead to loops or bad output:
1. Bail out if we get a NULL pointer when translating the segment's
private structure and the starting DMA address of the segment chunk. If
this happens, we've been handed a starting TRB pointer from a different
ring.
2. Make sure the function works when there's multiple segments in the
ring. In the while loop to search through the ring segments, use the
current segment variable (cur_seg), rather than the starting segment
variable (start_seg) that is passed in.
3. Stop searching the ring if we've run through all the segments in the
ring.

I have the same problem with cdc-acm (I'm using a Samsung SGH-U900): when I
unplug it from the USB port during a PPP connection, the ppp daemon gets the
hangup correctly (and closes the device), but the struct acm corresponding to
the device disconnected is not freed. Hence reconnecting the device results in
creation of /dev/ttyACM(x+1). The same happens when the system is hibernated
during a PPP connection.
This memory leak is due to the fact that when the tty is hung up,
tty_port_close_start() returns always zero, and acm_tty_close() never reaches
the point where acm_tty_unregister() is called.
Here is a fix for this.
