Make wait_for_device_probe() also do scsi_complete_async_scans()

2012-07-19T01:15:46Z

Commit a7a20d103994 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain") make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async domain. However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes the global async space, not all of them). Which in turn meant that "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be parsed. And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on for mounting the root filesystem. Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd. So the root filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all. And then before they actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans(). [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken, but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d0137 ("fix async probe regression"), so that same commit a7a20d103994 had actually broken setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ] Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call into wait_for_device_probe(). Everybody who wants to wait for device probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's no reason not to do this. So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and properly waits for device probing to finish. This also removes the now unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

PM / Sleep: Prevent waiting forever on asynchronous suspend after abort

2012-06-24T21:31:09Z

__device_suspend() must always send a completion. Otherwise, parent devices will wait forever. Commit 1e2ef05b, "PM: Limit race conditions between runtime PM and system sleep (v2)", introduced a regression by short-circuiting the complete_all() for certain error cases. This patch fixes the bug by always signalling a completion. Addresses http://crosbug.com/31972 Tested by injecting an abort.

driver core: fixup reversed deferred probe order

2012-06-13T20:42:39Z

If driver requests probe deferral, it will be added to deferred_probe_pending_list by driver_deferred_probe_add(), but, it used list_add(). Because of that, deferred probe will be run as reversed order. This patch uses list_add_tail(), and solved this issue. Signed-off-by: Kuninori Morimoto Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

regmap: Fix the size calculation for map->format.buf_size

2012-06-03T12:14:01Z

The word to be transmitted/received via regmap is composed by the following parts: config->reg_bits config->val_bits config->pad_bits ,so the total size should be calculated by summing up the number of bits of each element and using a DIV_ROUND_UP to return the number of bytes.

regmap: clean up debugfs if regmap_init fails

2012-06-03T12:13:38Z

If debugfs isn't cleaned up, stale files will be left in the filesystem which will cause an OOPS when accessed the first time, and hang the accessing application when accessed again, presumably due to some lock being left held. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren Signed-off-by: Mark Brown

Pull vfs changes from Al Viro. "A lot of misc stuff.

i2c: Split I2C_M_NOSTART support out of I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING

2012-05-30T08:55:34Z

Since there are uses for I2C_M_NOSTART which are much more sensible and standard than most of the protocol mangling functionality (the main one being gather writes to devices where something like a register address needs to be inserted before a block of data) create a new I2C_FUNC_NOSTART for this feature and update all the users to use it. Also strengthen the disrecommendation of the protocol mangling while we're at it. In the case of regmap-i2c we remove the requirement for mangling as I2C_M_NOSTART is the only mangling feature which is being used.
