create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/

2008-12-19T09:42:32+00:00

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/ to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/. The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years. The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi. They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually implement the ACPI specification, but either simply use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions. In the future we anticipate... drivers/misc/ will go away. other architectures will create drivers/platform/ Signed-off-by: Len Brown

sony-laptop: brightness regression fix

2008-11-26T23:12:07+00:00

After commit 540b8bb9c33935183ceb5bed466a42ad72b2af56: sony-laptop: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality I can't set brightness on my sony laptop (nothing in /sys/class/backlight). dmesg says "sony-laptop: Sony: Brightness ignored, must be controlled by ACPI video driver". The function acpi_video_backlight_support returns 0 if we should use the vendor-specific backlight support, while non-0 if the ACPI generic should be used. Because of this, the check introduced by the said commit appears reversed. Signed-off-by: Alessandro Guido Signed-off-by: Len Brown

saner FASYNC handling on file close

2008-11-01T16:49:46+00:00

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

At least the Vaio VGN-Z540N doesn't have this method, so let's not fail to suspend just because it doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Adam Jackson Acked-by: Mattia Dongili Cc: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
