ibft: fix the display of a few fields in the NIC attribute structure in sysfs

2009-05-02T22:36:10Z

Fix the display of a few fields in the iBFT NIC attribute structure in sysfs. Ensure that, if the DHCP IP address and the subnet mask for the interface is present in the iBFT NIC structure, the corresponding entries are created in sysfs tree for the device. This would hence create the additional entries in the tree based on the iBFT table and would not delete any existing entries.

dmi: Let dmi_walk() users pass private data

2009-03-30T19:46:44Z

At the moment, dmi_walk() lacks flexibility, users can't pass data to the callback function. Add a pointer for private data to make this function more flexible. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Hans de Goede Cc: Matthew Garrett Cc: Roland Dreier

DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface more flexible

2009-01-27T07:15:47Z

Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5. This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS. This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times. To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems using DMI information. However, only the on-board controlles should be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this purpose. Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose, because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted system. To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI information. Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's .driver_data field containing the additional information, such as the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.
