[PATCH 0/4] x86: UV runtime bios calls Purpose: Create an interface to allow calls into bios to return platform specific information. The interface uses EFI SAL table entry. EFI provides a mechanism for defining function pointers to firmware routines. This patchset builds on the EFI mechanism to provide access to those firmware routines. Patches: uv_efi_bios: Look for SAL entry in EFI tables. uv_bios_common: Add the EFI callback function using the EFI table entry. Create assoc...

From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Add support for autosuspend/autoresume of the SCSI devices. Lowlevel driver can use it to spin the disk down... and it is neccessary step for powering down the controllers.

Hi, A fairly user-level question here. I recently upgraded from 2.6.24.3 to 2.6.26.3. I've noticed that on my Debian stable system, I can now see Ctrl-C characters when using an xterm. I've checked the stty settings and nothing seems different. For example: [cdfrey ~]$ sleep 3s ^C [cdfrey ~]$ The ^C does not appear using 2.6.24.3. I'm not sure where to look to find what changed. I've attached my config for 2.6.26.3, which is basically the same for 2.6.24.3, upgraded with 'make...

Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging: A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing its entry in /sys A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available, or implement a more complex policy. Signed-off-by: Alex Nixon &l...

No, i replied to your mail that was sent just to me. sysfs files are meant to have just a single value. Some have a list of values of the same type, but a file that needs a nontrivial parser (even sscanf) is not allowed in sysfs, by convention. There is also the technical limitation of the size to a single page, It's basically the same as debugfs -- actually I once started a patch to make it a single function call to instantiate a debugfs-like file system, but I never finished that patch. de...

I think leaving out of the top level makefile is preferred, as there are no other subsystem targets there. Please make sure 'make distclean' cleans up properly.

Far too large to inline, has only one call site. Can be made static I'd suggest that the version number just be removed.

Hi, everyone, Please review our new version of the iSCSI Initiator drivers for Chelsio S3 adapters. The cxgb3i driver provides iscsi acceleration (PDU digest offload and payload direct-placement) to the open-iscsi initiator. It accesses the hardware through the cxgb3 module. The accelerated iscsi traffic uses a private IP address which is unknown to the OS. netdev list, please review part 1, 2 and cxgb3i_offload.[ch] in part 4 which handle the iscsi connection APIs to the adapter. Thanks. Karen...
