drivers/char/ip2: separate polling and irq-driven work entry points

2007-10-23T23:53:16Z

Polling currently calls the irq handler, which loops through all the boards, calling the work function for all polling boards with work. irq handling loops through all the boards, finding the specific board that applies to us, and calling the work just for that one board. The two logics are sufficiently different to warrant different functions, rather than being slack and calling the same function in two different ways. This serves to make the interrupt handler a -lot- more efficient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

Fix bogus 'inline' in drivers/char/ip2/i2lib.c

Not only was the function way too big to be inlined in the first place, it was used before it was even defined. Noted-by: Faik Uygur Cc: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid

2007-02-12T17:48:32Z

Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to avoid hash table lookups. In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid spaces mixed everything will work correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
