Add entry to rcu_torture_ops allowing the correct barrier function to be used upon exit from rcutorture. Also add torture options for the new call_rcu_sched() API. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Add rcu_barrier_sched() and rcu_barrier_bh(). With these in place, rcutorture no longer gives the occasional oops when repeatedly starting and stopping torturing rcu_bh. Also adds the API needed to flush out pre-existing call_rcu_sched() callbacks. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Add comments to the logic that infers quiescent states when interrupting from either user mode or the idle loop. Also add a memory barrier: it appears that James Huang was in fact onto something, as the scheduler is much less synchronization happy than it once was, so we can no longer rely on its memory barriers in all cases.

Fourth cut of patch to provide the call_rcu_sched(). This is again to synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu(). Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion. With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on the next round. Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging. Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes. Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages, as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot. Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing some inline attributes, and some code-style changes. Known/suspected shortcomings: o I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic. Next step will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it. And the bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway. o It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly, but resched_cpu() is declared static... This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask. I still cannot remember who reported this... Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu_batches_completed and rcu_patches_completed_bh are both declared in rcuclassic.h and rcupreempt.h. This patch removes the extra prototypes for them from rcupdate.h. rcu_batches_completed_bh is defined as a static inline in the rcupreempt.h header file. Trying to export this as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL causes linking problems with the powerpc linker. There's no need to export a static inlined function. Modules must be compiled with the same type of RCU implementation as the kernel they are for. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

i2c-core takes care of the possible corruption of 24RF08 chips for quite some times, so device devices no longer need to do it. And they really should not, as applying the prevention twice voids it.

Update all the remaining new-style i2c drivers to use standard module aliasing instead of the old driver_name/type driver matching scheme. Note that the tuner driver is a bit quirky at the moment, as it overwrites i2c_client.name with arbitrary strings. We write "tuner" back on remove, to make sure that driver cycling will work properly, but there may still be troublesome corner cases. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

There is a strange chip at 0x2e on the second SMBus channel of the DFI Lanparty NF4 Expert motherboard. Accessing the chip reboots the system. As there's nothing interesting on this SMBus channel, the easiest and safest thing to do is to disable it on that board.
