lkdtm: avoid calling lkdtm_do_action() with spinlock held

2012-02-04T00:16:41Z

lkdtm_do_action() may call sleeping functions like kmalloc(), so do not call it with spin lock held. Signed-off-by: WANG Cong Cc: Prarit Bhargava Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Reviewed-by: Dave Young Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cs5535-mfgpt: don't call init function from devinit

2012-02-03T00:28:13Z

Fix scan_timers() to be __devinit and not __init since the function get called from cs5535_mfgpt_probe which is __devinit. Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vmw_balloon: fix for a -Wuninitialized warning

2012-02-03T00:28:13Z

Fix for a -Wuninitialized compiler warning. Changed return value of vmballoon_send_lock_page() from bool to int to be able to distinguish between the error cases to avoid uninitialized use of hv_status in vmballoon_reserve_page() Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers: misc: Remove MISC_DEVICES config option

2012-01-25T00:24:02Z

MISC_DEVICES option alone does not select any kernel code and can cause dependency build warnings, such as: warning: (KS8851 && AX88796_93CX6 && RTL8180 && RTL8187 && ADM8211 && RT2400PCI && RT2500PCI && RT61PCI && RT2800PCI && R8187SE) selects EEPROM_93CX6 which has unmet direct dependencies (MISC_DEVICES) As the current drivers/misc/Kconfig stands, it is only possible to select the drivers below if MISC_DEVICES option is selected: source "drivers/misc/c2port/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/eeprom/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/cb710/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/iwmc3200top/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/ti-st/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/lis3lv02d/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/carma/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/altera-stapl/Kconfig" So remove MISC_DEVICES option so that nothing is dependant on it.

c2port: fix build error for duramar2150 due to missing header.

2012-01-25T00:21:01Z

This file needs the basic headers for resource management, otherwise we will see this build error: CC [M] drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.o drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c: In function ‘duramar2150_c2port_init’: drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c:125:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘request_region’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c:139:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘release_region’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
