	Hello, Andrew, I jumped from rc1-mm1 to this and found that somebody finally 
touched ini9100 driver, but it needs further cleaning. It doesn't compile 
properly, and give warnings.

	Attached patch fixes compilation of ini9100u driver and cleans several 
unneeded definitions. It applies cleanly to 2.6.3-mm4 (I think).

	Could you please review, because although simple, I'm scared, I don't really 
know if my patch is doing the Right Thing (tm)? Thanks. :-)

	Regards,


		Ender.

it's not 100% correct as the driver should support multiple HBAs.

Hello!

In -mm4 ACPI suspend to ram (echo -n mem >/sys/power/state) no longer
suspends my centrino laptop. This used to work in -mm3.

It fails to suspend "radeonfb" (which isn't active BTW, fbcon is not
loaded but radeonfb is compiled in).

 I have attached a photo of the suspend message.

Please note that on this laptop ACPI always used to suspend the machine.
It just never wakes up :)

And that's the reason i follow the latest -mm patches. I still hope
*some* day suspend/resume will work ;)

Thought i'd share this.

Dateils of the laptop (dmesg, lspci) can be found here:

I'm not aware of an ACPI code in -mm4 that was not in -mm3, so i suspect
this issue may be specific to radeon.

cheers,

As somebody also stated, there are problems with sensors:

werewolf:~# service lm_sensors start
Loading sensors modules: 
w83781d-isa-0290: Can't access procfs/sysfs file for writing;
Run as root?
Starting sensord:                                               [  OK  ]

I _was_ root. And initscripts are run as root ?

Perhaps this is a more generic problem with sysfs :(.

Yup, we changed all of the sensors sysfs names :)

Hey, we did warn everyone here on lkml we were going to do this, and no
one complained...

Anyway, I think all you need to do is get the cvs tree of the lmsensors
package.  Sensors people, the needed changes are commited into the tree,
right?

Known issue.  If you enable CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP then you will not see
this problem (as you will not be able to build the driver...)

No. The changes are waiting in my local repository, ready to be applied.
I didn't want to apply them because we were supposed to release
lm_sensors 2.8.5 (for Linux 2.6.3 users) and the sysfs names change
wouldn't belong there.

The libsensors patches are available on my personal server here:
http://jdelvare.net1.nerim.net/sensors/
Apply both patches in order and you'll get a 2.6.3-mm4-compliant
library.

I will apply the libsensors changes to the CVS repository as soon as the
kernel modules changes are accepted into Linus' tree. If we did not
release a new version since there, I'll take a CVS snapshot right
before so that Linux 2.6.3 users have a usable version available (but
my preference strongly goes to releasing 2.8.5 instead).

Thanks for testing.

Oh, yes I have noticed the same: "sensors -s" complained about some 
writeing issue. As I son't know what it is good for, I didn't care. 
Backing out bk-i2c.patch, above command works again, and even before 
doing that comand my sensors all worked as they should.

Ok, that explains it. Seems like I have not seen it. :-) (Well, I

You have to be kidding me.  Are you saying that with your patches to 
libsensors it won't support 2.6.3 style sensor sysfs names?

Yes I am.  This isn't a fundamentally new problem.  Each Linux 2.6 has
had its matching libsensors version that was not backward compatible
(with earlier 2.6 kernels; it's still fully compatible with 2.4).

Keeping newer versions of libsensors compatible with all early 2.6
kernel versions would make it incredibly more complex, with no
significant benefit IMHO.

The facts are that the sysfs interface to i2c chips is just stabilizing.
Greg's original naming scheme had many drawbacks (also we can't blame
him for that, since nobody objected before me), as I have been
explaining in a previous post on LKML. Also, many chip drivers did not
comply with it in early 2.6 kernels, and new chip drivers wouldn't fit
in it anyway.

The new interface is required if we want to write a chip-independant
libsensors someday. I estimate that this is worth breaking the
compatibility. The impacted kernels (later 2.5 and earlier 2.6) will
obviously not be used anymore within a short time anyway.

I invite you to read my original post here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107715308608606

I explain the problems of the current interface and my goals with the
new one. If you can think of a better solution to the problem, please
speak up.

Thanks.

Working from the premise that there is a current (old-style with mostly 
chip dependent code), libsensors has 2.4 /proc support, and each 
specific release supports one of 2.6.[0123]...

I'm glad I'm not the maintainer of libsensors for a distribution.  Since 
you have effectively pushed the compatibility work to them.  Just think 
of angry customer complaints about this. :(

Since there is going to be an effective libsensors-new library with chip 
independent code, I suggest you put the compat code into the old library.

Correct, that's mostly that.

Again, this is a temporary situation. I'm struggling for a better
future, at the cost of a slightly chaotic present, admittedly.

That said, I think that most packaging systems support that kind of
dependency. Since we clearly advertise the correct combinations of
lm_sensors and Linux kernel, they should be able to handle it quite
nicely (although I admit it has to represent some work for them).

The compatibility problems brought by libsensors are not new. From the
very beginning, each new version of lm_sensors had kernel modules,
libsensors and sensors program that mostly only worked well together. It
wasn't to the point of what we are experiencing today, of course,
because things were mostly (but not always) backward compatible. Still,
supporting each and every new driver or "kind" of chip would require
upgrading to new libsensors and sensors program. This is precisely what
I want to avoid with my proposal.

Note that there is no effective plan for such a library as of today. I
am "simply" defining an interface such that writing such a library will
be possible. I don't think I have the skills to write it at the moment,
but I have no doubt that people will do (I'm in particular thinking to
the gkrellm folks who neved liked the old library and wouldn't use it at
all, at the cost of frequent compatibility issues). That said, if nobody
seems to go on working on it within a reasonable amount of time, it's
likely that I will learn what I need to know to do it myself, since I'm
so interested in seeing it exist.

I do not plan to spend time to provide compatibility with early 2.6
kernels. First, because it would bloat the current libsensors even more.
Second, because I believe that these kernels will stop being used within
a few months or even weeks.

Distributions or individuals running 2.6 kernels these days know pretty
well that things are not fully stabilized yet. Granted, the sensors area
seems to be the more unstable realm of them all at the moment. But I
just don't think that people need to have, say, a 2.6.1 and a 2.6.3
kernel running perfectly on their system. We never had any request in
that direction so far. What they most likely want is to have a 2.4 and a
2.6 kernel working, and we do provide this compatibility.

If you really believe that we have to support all early 2.6 kernel
releases and are able to write a not-too-bloated patch for libsensors
that does this, we'll consider applying it. But it's unlikely that any
of us will want to spend time on such a patch.

Thanks.
