Btw. the patch introduces multiple locked pages in pagecache from a single
thread, however there should be no new deadlocks or lock orderings
introduced. They are always aquired because they are new pages, so will all
be released. Visibility from other threads is no different to the case
where multiple pages locked by multiple threads.

* [Bluez-users] bluetooth keyboard connects, but does not work
From: Philipp Glaser @ 2006-04-30 11:12 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: bluez-users
i am using ubuntu breezy, with ms intelli mouse explorer and the
according bt usb dongle.
i would like to use an HP iPAQ Bluetooth Foldable Keyboard (because it
is so handy) and ran into the following problem:
i can connect to the keyboard and request the link quality, info, or
whatever. what i cannot is to type something using my keyboard.
i was also using sdptool search HID, and got no output, but when using
sdptool search SP i got:
Searching for SP on <bt-addr> ...
Service Name: SPP slave
Service RecHandle: 0x10000
Service Class ID List:
"Serial Port" (0x1101)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 1
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x656e
encoding: 0x6a
base_offset: 0x100
also when using kbluetoothd i just see, that my keyboard comes up with SPP.
i would like to know now, what i could do, to use keyboard as a
secondary keyboard for my computer.
thanks for your suggestions

I'd say you're right.
tree_lock contention will be coming from a number of sources. reclaim,
as you say, will be a big one. mpage_readpages (from readahead) will
be another.
Then the read lock in find_get_page in generic_mapping_read will start
contending heavily on the writers and not get much concurrency.
I'm sure lockless (read-side) pagecache will help... not only will it
eliminate read_lock costs, but the reduced read contention should also
decrease write_lock contention and bouncing.
As well as lockless pagecache, I think we can batch tree_lock operations
in readahead. Would be interesting to see how much this patch helps.

Summary: Module fails to load
Description:
Have tried this with various kernels now from 2.6.15 to .17-rc3.
The module compiles fine, installs fine, even comes up in lsmod, but I get
this error on module insertion
ERROR: snd-cs46xx: never read ISV3 & ISV4 from AC'97
Try reloading the ALSA driver, if you find something
broken or not working on your soundcard upon
this message please report to alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Soundcard is a Gametheater XP 5.1. The last kernel I had on here was
2.6.13 and it worked fine under that without this error. Have tried with
kernel drivers, manual download of drivers, with and without the debian
standard alsa tools. The NEW_DSP code is also enabled in all instances.
I have also tried with and without udev installed, to see if that was
causing an issue.
This also halts my intel8x0 card from working as well. Whatever is causing
it virtually causes all the alsactl stuff to die.

My name is Mr. Sherman Spints I am an Artist and a consultant. I live in FRANCE, with my three kids, two cats, one dog and the love of my life i.e. my wife. It is definitely a full house and I have been doing Artworks since I was young, I also have been in the business of precious stone for a longtime and earned enough to have my personal GOLD mine. That made me had about 22 years experience in the profession. I have a major in Art in high school and took a few College Art Courses. Most of my works are done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils, which I have recently added to make my work more presentable to world.
I design and create artwork on the computer too. I have been selling my artworks for the past 6 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints, dailies, magazines and others. I have sold my artworks, sapphires gold and gold dust in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans and British’s and people in some other countries of the world, they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER or CHEQUE and Other Forms of Negotiable Instruments, which is difficult to be cashed here in Europe.
I am looking for a representative in the STATE or UK and other countries of the World who will be working for me as a per time worker and I will be willing to pay the person 15% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work. I mean someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the STATE or UK and Other Countries of the world. I need a good person who is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive for me and I am working on setting up a branch in the STATE and UK, so for now I need a representative in the United states and UK who will be handling the payment aspect for me.
These payments are either going to be coming in form of a MONEY ORDER, TRAVLLERS CHECKS, PERSONAL CHECK or BUSINESS CHECKS. This payments will be coming from my clients to you and your name and address will be effected on any of the negotiable instruments my clients are paying you with ok. So all you need to do is to cash the PAYMENTS, deduct your said percentage and send the balance of the money back to us through Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to any place I will have to instruct you to do that. But the problem I have is Trust and Honesty, but I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money, I have contacted the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS (FBI) branch in Washington and I've been given an assurace to get that person tracked down before the next 48hours. Once you have cashed the payment there, your meant to deduct your15% and send the balance to me via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram Money Transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks

I've set up a repository for ACCOUNT here:
http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ipt_account/
Hope everything is ok.
The tarball is currently named ACCOUNT.tar.gz.
Is there a way to add a version number to it?
Or is it safe to include some kind of "Changelog"
file in the distribution?
btw: "README.new_patches" doesn't know anything

AFAICT it does not. In vnc_refresh(), there is a call to rfbProcessEvents,
which says to select() the socket(s) for 0 microseconds. Same thread.
Now, there is a facility in LibVNCServer to take advantage of pthreads,
and in some applications it is actually better to run a background thread
to handle all the VNC stuff. But it is not used in QEmu.

Well, I'd argue current behaviour is okay... can you strace it? It
should accept the number (return 3) then return -EINVAL.

Throwing in the tabs is a *very* big change, but, just to discuss....I
agree on the note that in qgit we have three different approaches:
fixed frames (revisions, file tree, affected files), detachable frames
(patch) and separate windows (annotations).
This is a bit strange and could give an odd GUI feeling.
I like the tab idea because it's clear and simple and fixes the 'many
approaches' problem. What I would suggest is, at least at first step,
do not change the main view and have only three tabs:
Tab1: Main view with revisions, file tree (hide able), affected files.
Tab2: Patch view with patch stat and diffs
Tab3: File history + file content/annotation view
In other words just put the frames/windows as are now in browse able
tabs. In this way main view still gives a good amount of information
without requiring changing the tab and the tabs are reserved for 'big
space' needed infos only.

I don't actually know what "LPC/Super-IO" means, but the data-sheet for
the SC1100 seems to indicate that it is so:
"The LPC interface of the Core Logic module is based on the Intel Low
Pin Count (LPC) Interface specification, revision 1.0."
and also:
"LPC SuperI/O Addressing. SuperI/O control addresses I/O Ports 2Eh-2Fh.
See bit 16 for decode"
And as you suggested, there is another address pair that can be used:
"LPC Alternate SuperI/O Addressing. Alternate SuperI/O control addresses
4Eh-4Fh. See bit 16 for decode."
In the code snippet above, I used 0x2e & x2f. I don't know how you
determine which pair to use. I just tried the first one. Is there a
"standard" way to select it?
I will submit a patch once I have a better understanding.
Regards,
Thomas

No we don't. We need only what we've already got. Our headers are
perfectly sufficient in principle -- we're already _relatively_ careful
not to pollute them with random kernel-private type and other stuff.
It's just that we need to be a little more competent at that, and that's
why we need the set of cleanups I've made and a tool to make life
easier. There's nothing particularly exciting to see here; there's no
need for any more fundamental change in the way things work.
Eliminating ifdefs and moving stuff into appropriate directories might
make it even easier still, if we do end up going that far. Certainly
it's the kind of cleanup which is _welcomed_ in C files, although
headers seem to be a touchy subject so I'm avoiding that question for
now.
But if we keep talking like this about crap like random userland
namespaces then I have a feeling Linus is just going to shut down and
not even take the normal, uncontentious cleanup patches which I was
careful to limit myself to because I didn't want to have wasted my time.

./configure works OK. running make give error during compilation: module
'include/asound.h' (line 210) has some 'typedef' that doesn't match with
(probably) OS include. As a result, compilation stops and driver can not
be produced.

<engage whiney rant>
I would really like to get a working sound card for my Linux system. I
bought a specific card (Creative SB Live 24 bit) that was available (Ok,
CompUSA ... serves me right), and which is listed as "compatible" with RHL
E4 (https://hardware.redhat.com/hwcert/show.cgi?id=153338). Where did I
go wrong? Expecting the documentation to be correct? Mis-interpreting
"compatible" with "supported"? Ok. My mistake. Fourty lashes for the
idiot with the expectations. Fine. Please. I just. Want. Sound. I'll
buy another card if it'll do any good. I'll wax your car. I'll wash your
dog (and vice versa). Anything. Now, I haven't done C or C++ for 8
years, so patching the kernel is right out. Why can't these pesky drivers
be written in XML, Perl, or SQL?
FYI
$ cat /proc/version

For example, the prototype of kmalloc() has changed to:
void *kmalloc(size_t size, unsigned int __nocast flags);
For normal compilation, this attribute expands to an empty string; it has
no effect.
alsa-driver-1.0.11/include/adriver.h ( Fedora Core 1 - Kernel 2.4 )
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,12)
#include <linux/compiler.h>
...
#ifndef __nocast
#define __nocast
#endif
...
#endif
When the sparse tool is being used, however, the __nocast attribute
disables many of the implicit type conversions performed by the compiler.
In the kmalloc() case, sparse will complain whenever a signed integer
value is passed as the flags argument.

How about a for_each_tag() function?

get_uri() called twice.
The patch looks good and is easy to read, but wouldn't it be better
to require new c code to be thread safe and not leak memory? Assuming
run-once-and-exit is making it difficult to push into a library.

I think I disagree with you here. It should be possible to have Linux
kernel abi header files that are directly usable, and shared between
kernel and user space, precisely because they are _Linux_ kernel ABI
headers, not POSIX, not SUS, not XOPEN_SOURCE. The consumers of the
header files shouldn't expect to be able necessarily to do
#include <stdio.h>
$include <linux/kabi/xxx.h>
and have it work (although I think we should avoid breaking things if
it's easy to do so), because that's mixing interface definitions --
libc vs raw Linux.
Originally (back in edition 6 days) /usr/include/sys was precisely the
kind of thing that's being proposed, in that it contained system call
numbers, and the shapes of structures shared between user and kernel
space. Over time, that directory became a compatibility layer for
POSIX-like systems, and has been implemented in terms of whatever the
OS provides. So now we need something new.

Although I don't like finding world-writable files in tar archives, I
think you're exagerating a bit. First, you're not turning normal bugs
into root privileges, and second, you don't need to create a user just
for this, you just have to extract it in a directory that other users
cannot access (chmod o-x).
Also, you'll find several other software on the net with full rights,
so if this really is a concern to you, you'd better get used to this
with simple and reliable solutions (ntp comes to mind).

While patching af_rose.c, would you consider the following patch

I killed the I/O write/read macros and switched the driver to iomap.

Subject: [PATCH] IP1000 Gigabit Ethernet device driver
This is a cleaned up fork of the IP1000A device driver:
<http://www.icplus.com.tw/driver-pp-IP1000A.html>
Open issues include but are not limited to:
- ipg_probe() looks really fishy and doesn't handle all errors
(e.g. ioremap failing).
- ipg_nic_do_ioctl() is playing games with user-space pointer.
We should use ethtool ioctl instead as suggested by Arjan.
- For multiple devices, the driver uses a global root_dev and
ipg_remove() play some tricks which look fishy.
I don't have the hardware, so I don't know if I broke anything.
The patch is 138 KB in size, so I am not including it in this
mail. You can find the patch here:
