      drm: 32/64-bit DRM ioctl compatibility patch · 9a186645
      Dave Airlie authored
      The patch is against a 2.6.11 kernel tree.  I am running this with a
      32-bit X server (compiled up from X.org CVS as of a couple of weeks
      ago) and 32-bit DRI libraries and clients.  All the userland stuff is
      identical to what I am using under a 32-bit kernel on my G4 powerbook
      (which is a 32-bit machine of course).  I haven't tried compiling up a
      64-bit X server or clients yet.
      
      In the compatibility routines I have assumed that the kernel can
      safely access user addresses after set_fs(KERNEL_DS).  That is, where
      an ioctl argument structure contains pointers to other structures, and
      those other structures are already compatible between the 32-bit and
      64-bit ABIs (i.e. they only contain things like chars, shorts or
      ints), I just check the address with access_ok() and then pass it
      through to the 64-bit ioctl code.  I believe this approach may not
      work on sparc64, but it does work on ppc64 and x86_64 at least.
      
      One tricky area which may need to be revisited is the question of how
      to handle the handles which we pass back to userspace to identify
      mappings.  These handles are generated in the ADDMAP ioctl and then
      passed in as the offset value to mmap.  However, offset values for
      mmap seem to be generated in other ways as well, particularly for AGP
      mappings.
      
      The approach I have ended up with is to generate a fake 32-bit handle
      only for _DRM_SHM mappings.  The handles for other mappings (AGP, REG,
      FB) are physical addresses which are already limited to 32 bits, and
      generating fake handles for them created all sorts of problems in the
      mmap/nopage code.
      
      This patch has been updated to use the new compatibility ioctls.

      [X25]: Fast select with no restriction on response · ebc3f64b
      Shaun Pereira authored
      This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
      matching with call user data".  It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
      optional user facility for X.25.
      
      This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
      (NRR).  What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
      6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
      set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
      the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
      call-user-data.  This patch allows such a response.  
      
      The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
      call-user-data.  However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
      patch.
      
      How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
      By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
      To enable a response to fast select acceptance,  
      After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
      	socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
      	bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
      but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
      	ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
      Now the listen system call can be made
      	listen(call_soc, 4);
      After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted 
      packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
      that accepts the call
      	ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
      The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the 
      application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet, 
      provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

      [X25]: Selective sub-address matching with call user data. · cb65d506
      Shaun Pereira authored
      From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au>
      
      This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
      working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router).  Details
      are as follows.
      
      Current state of module:
      
      A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
      accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
      from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
      in the packet header.
      
      If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
      call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
      allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
      own.  This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
      and device interface.  The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
      present.
      
      Current Changes:
      
      This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
      Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
      call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match.  By
      default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present. 
      To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
      into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched. 
      Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.
      
      This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
      will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
      the caller 
      
      Future Changes on next patch:
      
      There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
      accepted packet.  According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
      section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
      provided the fast select facility is used.  My next patch will include this
      fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
      in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used.  I
      am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.

      [ATALK] aarp: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep() · 285b3afe
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      From: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com>
      
      Use msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task
      delays as expected. The current code is not wrong, but it does not account for
      early return due to signals, so I think msleep() should be appropriate.

      [NETPOLL]: allow multiple netpoll_clients to register against one interface · fbeec2e1
      Jeff Moyer authored
      This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
      same network device.  Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
      however.  In practice, this restriction has not been problematic.  It is
      worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
      allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.
      
      The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
      structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in.  Aside
      from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
      net_device to an individual struct netpoll.
      
      A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
      pointer.  The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
      removal, and the lock should be uncontested.

      [NETPOLL]: Introduce a netpoll_info struct · 115c1d6e
      Jeff Moyer authored
      This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
      will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll.  The reason for
      this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
      should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll;  and 2) this is a first
      step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
      same net_device.
      
      The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure.  As
      such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.
