Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following

- the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the

This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different,
which is a little unorthodox.
The ioctl list is split into two: global kvm ioctls and per-vm ioctls. A new
ioctl, KVM_CREATE_VM, is used to create VMs and return the VM fd.

The kvmfs inodes will represent virtual machines and vcpus, as necessary,
reducing cacheline bouncing due to inodes and filps being shared.

The following patchset moves the kvm userspace interface from having a
single fd, to having three types of file descriptors:
- one fd returned by open("/dev/kvm") is used for generic access to the
kvm driver, for example to get the API version and to create virtual
machines

while a kernel is compiled with no full preemption function but only
voluntary kernel preemption is enabled (i.e. CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY

Yes this works with "irqpoll". But as you can see in the attached dmesg
output, now I get a bunch of APIC errors ... ?

The problem is that sometimes you cannot have a filedescriptor at

There's already generic indicator API, currently mostly known as
"[new] LED [classdev] API", even though
I have a question about cond_resched().
What is the condition under which I should invoke cond_resched() irreplaceably?
For example, I see the following code in ksoftirqd(),
preempt_enable_no_resched();
cond_resched();
preempt_disable();
But I do not understand why I should not write the

This patch introduces functionality to dynamically add / remove
ehea ports via an userspace DLPAR tool. It creates a subnode for
each logical port in the sysfs.
This subnode contains the following attributes:
- link to ethX that represents the port
- logical port number
- path in the OFDT

FWIW it's really an ATIIXP chipset, but supposedly PIIX4 compatible:
# i2cdetect -l

Hello,
I'd like to add backlight support for input devices since my custom
board has a backlighted mini keyboard.
It could be acceptable to move the code from drivers/video/backlight/
to drivers/backlight/ renaming the "Backlight & LCD" name into
"Backlight" and adding two new entries "LCD" and,

Here're some comments: backlight support is already confusing
matter, and your patch IMHO makes it even more confusing for PXAFB.
Before even start with details, let's
