When a node is added to sysfs (e.g. a device plugged in via USB), the
filesystem fails to make this change visible in the parent directory's
ctime/mtime. This is in contrast to removing a device, because in that
case, sysfs makes use of the function simple_unlink from fs/libfs.c which
takes care of that. Instead of using simple_link from fs/libfs.c on
creation, sysfs implements its own mechanism. This patch hooks into the
function sysfs_create and sets the ctime and the mtime of the parent to
CURRENT_TIME.

Here is the patch that uses a cpu hotplug callback, to allow dynamic support
of cpu id for classes in sysfs.

This patch applies on top of the one I sent out earlier that Greg included.
I do not have access to hardware that supports cpu hotswapping (virtually or not)
so have not been able to test that aspect of the patch. However, the original
functionality of listing static cpu's still works.

Please consider for testing or inclusion.

The ioctl to ethtool change broke that little detail...


I made the changes, Jeff agreed in principle, Red Hat owns them and I know
no reason they can't be contributed under the GPL v2 or later.

Requires: ethtool change

Several ethernet drivers have been broken by the ethtool support because
the ioctl code used to power the interface up and down as needed. Rather
than add this to each driver call Jeff Garzik suggested we add hooks
for before/after ethtool processing.

This patch implements them which makes fixing the PM stuff easier,
as the epic100 patch to follow will show. It also cleans up the
via-velocity driver pm/ethtool logic a great deal. As per Jeff's
request the before handler is allowed to fail the operation.

Adrian Bunk noticed that the tda1004x DVB frontend driver was broken and
sent a small patch that at least made the driver work again.

There was a discussion afterwards about the kernel syscall interface,
but at the end, the tda1004x DVB frontend driver is still non-functional.

This re-applies the temporary band-aid.

The paca struct contains a pointer to the current task, which is used
for the `current' macro.  For some reason, this field is a u64, and
every time we use it we need a cast, because it is really a pointer.
This patch cleans things up a little by making it a pointer to struct
task_struct and removing the casts.  It also removes a now-incorrect
comment which said that r13 contains current (it now holds
&paca[smp_processor_id()]).

Occasionally the ppc64 kernel emulates a usermode instruction, for
example in the alignment exception handler.  Kumar Gala pointed out
(in the context of the ppc32 kernel) that if the instruction was being
single-stepped, and we end up emulating the instruction, we should
then send the process a SIGTRAP as if it had not been emulated and the
process had then taken a single-step exception.  This patch implements
this for ppc64.

Ok, here you are! :)
Attached is a patch for linux-2.6.7-rc2. (though the patch hasn't changed
since -rc1)

Again a short description:
(the patch removes most of the changes done in linux-2.6.2)
1. Removed the local buffer of cyberjack_write, because something goes wrong
upon a write-request bigger than the buffer. Without this, a write-request
stalls with error -3.
2. Removed some usb_clear_halt() lines. Without this, the device doesn't even
open and returns -7.

It works for my cyberjack pinpad USB card reader on
- nforce2 chipset
- VIA KM266 chipset
- AMD Irongate chipset
