drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c: SGI XPC fails to load when cpu 0 is out of IRQ resources

2012-08-21T23:45:03Z

On many of our larger systems, CPU 0 has had all of its IRQ resources consumed before XPC loads. Worst cases on machines with multiple 10 GigE cards and multiple IB cards have depleted the entire first socket of IRQs. This patch makes selecting the node upon which IRQs are allocated (as well as all the other GRU Message Queue structures) specifiable as a module load param and has a default behavior of searching all nodes/cpus for an available resources.

mei: add mei_quirk_probe function

2012-08-16T17:54:01Z

The main purpose of this function is to exclude ME devices without support for MEI/HECI interface from binding Currently affected systems are C600/X79 based servers that expose PCI device even though it doesn't supported ME Interface. MEI driver accessing such nonfunctional device can corrupt the system. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Pull MFD bits from Samuel Ortiz: "We have support for a few new drivers: - Samsung s2mps11 - Wolfson Microelectronics wm5102 and wm5110 - Marvell 88PM800 and 88PM805 - TI twl6041 We also have our regular driver improvements: - Device tree and IRQ domain support for STE AB8500 - Regmap and devm_* API conversion for TI tps6586x - Device tree support for Samsung max77686 - devm_* API conversion for STE AB3100 Besides that, quite a lot of fixing and cleanup for mc13xxx, tps65910, tps65090, da9052 and twl-core." Fix up mostly trivial conflicts, with the exception of drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c in particular, which had some re-organization of the reset sequence (commit 1a49e2ac9651: "EHCI: centralize controller initialization") that clashed with commit 2761a6394516 ("mfd: USB: Fix the omap-usb EHCI ULPI PHY reset fix issues"). In particular, commit 2761a6394516 moved the usb_add_hcd() to the *middle* of the reset sequence, which clashes fairly badly with the reset sequence re-organization (although it could have been done inside the new omap_ehci_init() function). I left that part of commit 2761a6394516 just undone. * tag 'mfd-3.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sameo/mfd-2.6: (110 commits) mfd: Ensure AB8500 platform data is passed through db8500-prcmu to MFD Core mfd: Arizone core should select MFD_CORE mfd: Fix arizona-irq.c build by selecting REGMAP_IRQ mfd: Add debug trace on entering and leaving arizone runtime suspend mfd: Correct tps65090 cell names mfd: Remove gpio support from tps6586x core driver ARM: tegra: defconfig: Enable tps6586x gpio gpio: tps6586x: Add gpio support through platform driver mfd: Cache tps6586x register through regmap mfd: Use regmap for tps6586x register access. mfd: Use devm managed resources for tps6586x input: Add onkey support for 88PM80X PMIC mfd: Add support for twl6041 mfd: Fix twl6040 revision information mfd: Matches should be NULL when populate anatop child devices input: ab8500-ponkey: Create AB8500 domain IRQ mapping mfd: Add missing out of memory check for pcf50633 Documentation: Describe the AB8500 Device Tree bindings mfd: Add tps65910 32-kHz-crystal-input init mfd: Drop modifying mc13xxx driver's id_table in probe ...

Pull PWM subsystem from Thierry Reding: "The new PWM subsystem aims at collecting all implementations of the legacy PWM API and to eventually replace it completely. The subsystem has been in development for over half a year now and many drivers have already been converted. It has been in linux-next for a couple of weeks and there have been no major issues so I think it is ready for inclusion in your tree." Arnd Bergmann : "Very much Ack on the new subsystem. It uses the interface declarations as the previously separate pwm drivers, so nothing changes for now in the drivers using it, although it enables us to change those more easily in the future if we want to. This work is also one of the missing pieces that are required to eventually build ARM kernels for multiple platforms, which is currently prohibited (amongs other things) by the fact that you cannot have more than one driver exporting the pwm functions."
