[patch 2.6.21-rc5-git 1/2] fix hotplug for legacy platform drivers

2007-03-31 Thread David Brownell
We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code:

[patch 2.6.21-rc5-git 2/2] update Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt

2007-03-31 Thread David Brownell
Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that are mostly unused except by such drivers. We probably can't escape having legacy drivers for a while (e.g. old ISA drivers), but we can at least discourage this style code for new drivers, and unless it's unavoidable.

This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel (dispatch only). It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those would simply be used to signal events. Their kernel overhead is much lower

[patch 13/13] signal/timer/event fds v9 - KAIO eventfd support example ...

2007-03-31 Thread Davide Libenzi
This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code, in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This

This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though file descriptors. This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX poll(2), select(2) and read(2). As a consequence of supporting the Linux f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too. The system call is
