at24: Use timeout also for read

2009-11-26T08:22:33Z

Writes may take some time on EEPROMs, so for consecutive writes, we already have a loop waiting for the EEPROM to become ready. Use such a loop for reads, too, in case somebody wants to immediately read after a write. Detailed bug report and test case can be found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.i2c/4660 Reported-by: Aleksandar Ivanov Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang Tested-by: Aleksandar Ivanov Cc: David Brownell Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function

2009-11-05T18:48:30Z

Not a single line of actual code in the function was really fundamentally correct. Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that format. This tries to do better. Acked-by: Michael Buesch Tested-and-acked-by: Jack Steiner Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Jiri Kosina Cc: Michael Gilbert Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.h

2009-10-11T18:20:58Z

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

max6875: Discard obsolete detect method

2009-10-04T20:53:41Z

There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the MAX6875, as this device can't be detected. It was there solely to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same. So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect callback. This basically divides the binary module size by 2. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Acked-by: Wolfram Sang Acked-by: Ben Gardner

const: mark struct vm_struct_operations

2009-09-27T18:39:25Z

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const * mark vm_ops in AGP code But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops being used. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

spi: prefix modalias with "spi:"

2009-09-23T14:39:43Z

This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...). I'm not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason. This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.

kprobes: use do_IRQ() in lkdtm

2009-09-23T14:39:27Z

Current lkdtm code puts a probe on __do_IRQ for some of the kdump test cases. Since __do_IRQ is deprecated, change lkdtm code to use do_IRQ function. Signed-off-by: M.
