bdops->set_capacity() is unnecessarily generic. All that's required
is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to
try to unlock native capacity. There's no reason to pass in target
capacity or return the new capacity. The former is always the
inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual
device resize / revalidation path. In fact, the current API is always
used that way.
Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take
only @disk and doesn't return anything. IDE which is the only current
user of the API is converted accordingly.

There was a content conflict due to 'sock->sk->sk_sleep' being changed

The ACPI subsystem strictly checks for resource conflicts. When there's
a conflict, it outputs a warning message with all the details needed to
properly diagnose the underlying issue. However, the i2c-nforce2 driver
also prints its own message. Not only is the message redundant, it is at
the KERN_ERR level, which overrides some bootsplash screens for no good
reason. This change removes the two lines that print out the error
messages.

GPIO driven I2C bus can be used for controlling the PMIC chip. The
example of such configuration is Samsung Aquila board.
This patch moves initialization code to subsys_initcall() to ensure
that the i2c bus is available early so the regulators can be quickly
probed and available for other devices on their probe() call.
Such solution has been proposed by Mark Brown to fix the problem of
the regulators not beeing available on the peripheral device probe():

Increase the portability of the at24 driver by letting it read from
EEPROM chips connected to cheap SMBus controllers that support neither
raw I2C messages nor even I2C block reads. All SMBus controllers
should support either word reads or byte reads, so read support
becomes universal, much like with the legacy "eeprom" driver.
Obviously, this only works with EEPROM chips up to AT24C16, that use
8-bit offset addressing. 16-bit offset addressing is almost impossible
to support on SMBus controllers.
I did not add universal support for writes, as I had no immediate need
for this, but it could be added later if needed (with the same
performance issue as byte and word reads have, of course.)

Only the oldest devices lack some of the features supported by this
driver. List them explicitly, and default to all features enabled for
all other chips, including the ones added through sysfs. This will
make future driver maintenance easier.
In the unlikely event of a not yet supported device not implementing
all the features, one can always use the disable_features module
parameter to prevent the driver from attempting to use them.

The PCI config space bin_attr read handler has a hardcoded CAP_SYS_ADMIN
check to verify privileges before allowing a user to read device
dependent config space. This is meant to protect from an unprivileged
user potentially locking up the box.
When assigning a PCI device directly to a guest with libvirt and KVM,
the sysfs config space file is chown'd to the unprivileged user that
the KVM guest will run as. The guest needs to have full access to the
device's config space since it's responsible for driving the device.
However, despite being the owner of the sysfs file, the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
check will not allow read access beyond the config header.
With this patch we check privileges against the capabilities used when
openining the sysfs file. The allows a privileged process to open the
file and hand it to an unprivileged process, and the unprivileged process
can still read all of the config space.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

Move complete knowledge of namespaces into the kobject layer
so we can use that information when reporting kobjects to
userspace.

device_del and device_rename were modified to use
sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link respectively to ensure
when these operations happen on devices whose classes
are in namespace directories they work properly.

Recent udev versions probe loop devices for filesystems meaning that
the /dev/disk hierarchy may contain useful entries such as
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 11 13:41 /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live -> ../../loop0
Unfortunately, no "change" uevent is generated when the loop device is
detached so the symlink persists. Additionally, no "change" uevent is
guaranteed to be generated when attaching an fd or changing capacity.
For example, user space could open the loop device O_RDONLY (in fact,
recent util-linux-ng does this) so udev's OPTIONS+="watch" machinery may
not trigger the "change" uevent.
This patch ensures that the "change" uevent is generated in all of
these cases. As a result, the /dev/disk hierarchy works as expected
for loop devices.
