2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: fix module refcount raceArnd Bergmann
One of the two users of spufs_calls.owner still has a race when calling try_module_get while the module is removed. This makes it use the correct instance of owner. Noticed by Milton Miller. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loadedArnd Bergmann
try_module_get returns true when NULL arguments, so we first need to check if there is a module loaded before getting the reference count. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, baseArnd Bergmann
This is the current version of the spu file system, used for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine. This release is almost identical to the version for the 2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part of the Cell BE Linux distribution from http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/. The first patch provides all the interfaces for running spu application, but does not have any support for debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these functionalities are added in the subsequent patches. See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use spufs.
