2007-02-09[ALSA] hda-codec - Add support for Sony UX-90sTakashi Iwai
Added the model entry (model=hippo) for Sony UX-90s with ALC262 codec. Although the device has no SPDIF output, the hippo model adds a PCM output, but it must be harmless. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz>
2007-02-09[ALSA] Add Conexant audio support to the HD Audio driverTobin Davis
This driver adds limited support for the Conexant 5045 and 5047 HD Audio codecs. Some issues still need to be resolved. The code is based primarily on code from the Analog Devices AD1981 support and the Realtek ALC260 support. Some code came from the original code developed by Alex Pototskiy (see alsa bugtracker 2485).

2007-02-09[ALSA] ASoC: Add support for BCLK based on (Rate * Chn * Word Size)Liam Girdwood
This patch adds support for the DAI BCLK to be generated by multiplying Rate * Channels * Word Size (RCW). This now gives 3 options for BCLK clocking and synchronisation :- 1. BCLK = Rate * x 2. BCLK = MCLK / x 3. BCLK = Rate * Chn * Word Size. (New) Changes:- o Add support for RCW generation of BCLK o Update Documentation to include RCW. o Update DAI documentation for label = value DAI modes. o Add RCW support to wm8731, wm8750 and pxa2xx-i2s drivers.

2007-02-07USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev
This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios. The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1) worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap. This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

2007-02-01[PATCH] sysrq: showBlockedTasks is sysrq-WRandy Dunlap
Change SysRq showBlockedTasks from sysrq-X to sysrq-W and show that in the Help message. It was previously done via X, but X is already used for Xmon on ppc & powerpc platforms and this collision needs to be avoided. All callers of register_sysrq_key() are now marked in the sysrq op/key table. I didn't mark 'h' as Help because Help is just printed for any unknown key, such as '?'. Added some omitted sysrq key entries in the sysrq.txt file.

2007-01-11[PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()Trond Myklebust
NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.
