When dock is unplugged, all the hotplug code is run on kevent_wq.\n2. the hotplug code removes all the child devices of dock device.\n3. removing the child device may invoke flush_scheduled_work\n4. flush_scheduled_work waits until all the work on kevent_wq to be\n   finished, while this will never be true because the hotplug code\n   is running on keventd_wq...\n\nIntroduce a new workqueue for hotplug in this patch.\nhttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\u003d13533\n\nTested-by: Paul Martin \u003cpm@debian.org\u003e\nTested-by: Vojtech Gondzala \u003cvojtech.gondzala@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Zhang Rui \u003crui.zhang@intel.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: Bjorn Helgaas \u003cbjorn.helgaas@hp.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Len Brown \u003clen.brown@intel.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "ACPI: track opregion names to avoid driver resource conflicts.\n\nSmall ACPICA extension to be able to store the name of operation regions in osl.c later\n\nIn ACPI, AML can define accesses to IO ports and System Memory by Operation\nRegions.  Those are not registered as done by PNPACPI using resource templates\n(and _CRS/_SRS methods).\n\nThe IO ports and System Memory regions may get accessed by arbitrary AML code.\n When native drivers are accessing the same resources bad things can happen\n(e.g.  a critical shutdown temperature of 3000 C every 2 months or so).\n\nIt is not really possible to register the operation regions via\nrequest_resource, as they often overlap with pnp or other resources (e.g.\nstatically setup IO resources below 0x100).\n\nThis approach stores all Operation Region declarations (IO and System Memory\nonly) at ACPI table parse time.  It offers a similar functionality like\nrequest_region and let drivers which are known to possibly use the same IO\nports and Memory which are also often used by ACPI (hwmon and i2c) check for\nACPI interference.\n\nA boot parameter acpi_enforce_resources\u003dstrict/lax/no is provided, which\nis default set to lax:\n  - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message\n  - lax:    let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message\n  - no:     no functional change at all\nDepending on the feedback and the kind of interferences we see, this\nshould be set to strict at later time.\n\nGoal of this patch set is:\n  - Identify ACPI interferences in bug reports (very hard to reproduce\n    and to identify)\n  - Find BIOSes for that an ACPI driver should exist for specific HW\n    instead of a native one.\n  - stability in general\n\nProvide acpi_check_{mem_}region.\n\nDrivers can additionally check against possible ACPI interference by also\ninvoking this shortly before they call request_region.\nIf -EBUSY is returned, the driver must not load.\nUse acpi_enforce_resources\u003dstrict/lax/no options to:\n  - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message\n  - lax:    let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message\n  - no:     no functional change at all\n\nCc: \"Mark M.

To this end,\n    it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following\n    constraints:\n         1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected\n            is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection\n            to C2-type or above.\n         2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds\n            the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt.\n         3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds\n            the elapsed time between the last pair of break events,\n            excluding timer interrupts.\n\n    This governor has an advantage over \"ladder\" governor because it\n    proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt\n    using the tick infrastructure.  Also, it handles device interrupt\n    activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break\n    event calculations.  Finally, it doesn\u0027t make policy decisions using the\n    number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ\n    makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep\n    time deltas.\n\n    The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs\n    interface like so:\n    \"echo \"menu\" \u003e /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor\"\n\n    Signed-off-by: Adam Belay \u003cabelay@novell.com\u003e\n    Signed-off-by: Len Brown \u003clen.brown@intel.com\u003e\n\ncommit a4bec7e65aa3b7488b879d971651cc99a6c410fe\nAuthor: Adam Belay \u003cabelay@novell.com\u003e\nDate:   Sat Mar 24 03:47:03 2007 -0400\n\n    cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ\n\n    Expose information about the time remaining until the next\n    timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure.\n    Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle\n    non-interrupt break events (e.g. DMA).

      "message": "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution\n\nHP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite\nloop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems.\n\nNotify handler in ACPI driver is a C-routine, which may call ACPI\ninterpreter again to get access to some ACPI variables\n(acpi_evaluate_xxx).\nOn these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of some variable\nand lets the loop above break.\n\nIn the current ACPI implementation Notify requests are being deferred\nto the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with\ninfinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will\ncontinue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time\npreventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All\nnotify events are deferred, thus we see increase in memory consumption\nnoticed by author of the thread. Also as GPE handling is bloked,\nmachines overheat. Eventually by external poll of the same\nacpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are\nfree to run, thus 100% cpu utilization by kacpid for several seconds\nor more.\n\nTo prevent all these horrors it\u0027s needed to not put notify events to\nkacpid workqueue by either executing them immediately or putting them\non some other thread. It\u0027s dangerous to execute notify events in\nplace, as it will put several ACPI interpreter stacks on top of each\nother (at least 4 in case of nx6125), thus causing kernel  stack\noverflow.\n\nFirst attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright\nHe created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid\nworkqueue.\nThis patch appeared in 2.6.15 kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.\n\nSecond attempt was done by me, I created a new thread for each Notify\nevent. This worked OK on HP nx machines, but broke Linus\u0027 Compaq\nn620c, by producing threads with a speed what they stopped the machine\ncompletely. Thus this patch was reverted from 18-rc2 as I remember.\nI re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,\nthus hopping it will not break Linus\u0027 machine. Patch was tested on the\nsame HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but I did not received reply\nfrom Linus on a test patch sent to him.\nPatch went to 19-rc and was rejected with much fanfare again.\nThere was 4th patch, which inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred\nexecution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus\ndecided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue\nto see if it\u0027s empty or atomic inc/dec).\nNow you see last variant which adds yield() to every GPE execution.\n\nhttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\u003d5534\nhttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\u003d8385\n\nSigned-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy \u003calexey.y.starikovskiy@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Len Brown \u003clen.brown@intel.com\u003e\n"

This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.\n\nOrdinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further\nscheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the\nwork function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself\nthat the work_struct won\u0027t go away, the work function may not access anything\nelse in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a\nproblem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).\n\nHowever, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work\nfunction, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container\nwith no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the\nwork_struct by calling work_release().\n\nIn most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special\ninitiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).\n\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers\n\nMaintain a per-CPU global \"struct pt_regs *\" variable which can be used instead\nof passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the\nLinux kernel.\n\nThe regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack\nspace and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter\nfrom all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path\n(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).\n\nWhere appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do\nsomething different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is\nmaintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception\nhandling.\n\nHaving looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down\nthrough up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character\ndevice attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its\ninterrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character\ndevice driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input\nlayer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.\n\nI\u0027ve build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I\u0027ve runtested the\nmain part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can\u0027t test most of the drivers.\nI\u0027ve also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile\nwith minimal configurations.\n\nThis will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.\nTake do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:\n\n\tstruct pt_regs *old_regs \u003d set_irq_regs(regs);\n\nAnd put the old one back at the end:\n\n\tset_irq_regs(old_regs);\n\nDon\u0027t pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().\n\nIn timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:\n\n\t-\tupdate_process_times(user_mode(regs));\n\t-\tprofile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);\n\t+\tupdate_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));\n\t+\tprofile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);\n\nI\u0027d like to move update_process_times()\u0027s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,\nexcept that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().\n\nSome notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:\n\n (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in\n     the input_dev struct.\n\n (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does\n     something different depending on whether it\u0027s been supplied with a regs\n     pointer or not.\n\n (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type\n     irq_handler_t.\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\n(cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)\n"
