2005-07-12[PATCH] inotifyRobert Love
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

2005-07-12[PATCH] USB: Patch to make usbmon to print control setup packetsPete Zaitcev
Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful when debugging enumeration issues. This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible. A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data. I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such parsers exist at this point. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-07-11[PATCH] I2C: minor I2C doc cleanupsdavid-b@pacbell.net
The I2C stack has long had "id" fields, of rather dubious utility, in many data structures. This removes mention of one of them from the documentation about how to write an I2C driver, so that only drivers that really need to use them (probably old/legacy code) will have any reason to use this field.

2005-06-28[PATCH] irqpollAlan Cox
Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically). A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it doesn't help.
