2008-01-27i2c: Drop redundant i2c_adapter.listJean Delvare
i2c_adapter.list is superfluous, this list duplicates the one maintained by the driver core. Drop it. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
2008-01-27i2c: Deprecate drivers for I2C buses on video adaptersJean Delvare

2008-01-27i2c: some overdue driver removalAdrian Bunk
This patch contains the overdue removal of three I2C drivers. [JD: In fact only i2c-ixp4xx can be removed at the moment, the other two platforms don't implement the generic GPIO layer yet.] Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2008-01-26ide: remove broken disk byte-swapping supportBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Remove broken disk byte-swapping support: - it can cause a data corruption on SMP (or if using PREEMPT on UP) - all data coming from disk are byte-swapped by taskfile_*_data() which results in incorrect identify data being reported by /proc/ide/ and IOCTLs - "hdx=bswap/byteswap" kernel parameter has been broken on m68k host drivers (including Atari/Q40 ones) since 2.5.x days (because of 'hwif' zero-ing) - byte-swapping is limited to PIO transfers (for working with TiVo disks on x86 machines using user-space solutions or dm-byteswap should result in much better performance because DMA can be used) For previous discussions please see: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0201.0/0768.html http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/2/28/111 [ I have dm-byteswap device mapper target if somebody is interested (patch is for 2.6.4 though but I'll dust it off if needed). ] Acked-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2008-01-26ide: make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular (take 2)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
* Make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular, add ide-scan-pci.c file for probing PCI host drivers registered with IDE core (special case for built-in IDE and CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS_ORDER=y) and then take care of the ordering in which all IDE host drivers are probed when IDE is built-in during link time. * Move probing of gayle, falconide, macide, q40ide and buddha (m68k arch specific) host drivers, before PCI ones (no PCI on m68k), ide-cris (cris arch specific), cmd640 (x86 arch specific) and pmac (ppc arch specific). * Move probing of ide-cris (cris arch specific) host driver before cmd640 (x86 arch specific). * Move probing of mpc8xx (ppc specific) host driver before ide-pnp (depends on ISA and none of ppc platform that use mpc8xx supports ISA) and ide-h8300 (h8300 arch specific). * Add "probe_vlb" kernel parameter to cmd640 host driver and update Documentation/ide.txt accordingly. * Make IDE_ARM config option visible so it can also be disabled if needed. * Remove bogus comment from ide.c while at it. v2: * Fix two issues spotted by Sergei: - replace ENOMEM error value by ENOENT in ide-h8300 host driver - fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() in cmd640 host driver Cc: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

2008-01-25ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount optionSunil Mushran
Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently. This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large, the fs will use the default value of 8MB. mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint Signed-off-by: Sunil Mushran <sunil.mushran@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval, in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

Remove MSI support from the mthca driver, as scheduled. There is no reason to use MSI instead of MSI-X, since MSI-X performs better. No one has spoken up since MSI support was deprecated in commit f6be6fbe ("IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal"), so apparently the MSI support is unused.
