2011-01-14PCI/PM: Report wakeup events before resuming devicesRafael J. Wysocki
Make wakeup events be reported by the PCI subsystem before attempting to resume devices or queuing up runtime resume requests for them, because wakeup events should be reported as soon as they have been detected.

2011-01-14PCI/PM: Use pm_wakeup_event() directly for reporting wakeup eventsRafael J. Wysocki
After recent changes related to wakeup events pm_wakeup_event() automatically checks if the given device is configured to signal wakeup, so pci_wakeup_event() may be a static inline function calling pm_wakeup_event() directly.

2011-01-14PCI: sysfs: Update ROM to include default owner write accessAlex Williamson
The PCI sysfs ROM interface requires an enabling write to access the ROM image, but the default file mode is 0400. The original proposed patch adding sysfs ROM support was a true read-only interface, with the enabling bit coming in as a feature request. I suspect it was simply an oversight that the file mode didn't get updated to match the API.

2011-01-14PCI/ACPI: Request _OSC control once for each root bridge (v3)Rafael J. Wysocki
Move the evaluation of acpi_pci_osc_control_set() (to request control of PCI Express native features) into acpi_pci_root_add() to avoid calling it many times for the same root complex with the same arguments. Additionally, check if all of the requisite _OSC support bits are set before calling acpi_pci_osc_control_set() for a given root complex.

2010-12-23PCI/PCIe: Clear Root PME Status bits early during system resumeRafael J. Wysocki
I noticed that PCI Express PMEs don't work on my Toshiba Portege R500 after the system has been woken up from a sleep state by a PME (through Wake-on-LAN). After some investigation it turned out that the BIOS didn't clear the Root PME Status bit in the root port that received the wakeup PME and since the Requester ID was also set in the port's Root Status register, any subsequent PMEs didn't trigger interrupts. This problem can be avoided by clearing the Root PME Status bits in all PCI Express root ports during early resume. For this purpose, add an early resume routine to the PCIe port driver and make this driver be always registered, even if pci_ports_disable is set (in which case the driver's only function is to provide the early resume callback).

2010-12-23PCI: pci-stub: ignore zero-length id parametersTejun Heo
pci-stub uses strsep() to separate list of ids and generates a warning message when it fails to parse an id. However, not specifying the parameter results in ids set to an empty string. strsep() happily returns the empty string as the first token and thus triggers the warning message spuriously. Make the tokner ignore zero length ids.

2010-12-23PCI: make pci_restore_state return voidJon Mason

2010-12-23PCI: Disable ASPM if BIOS asks us toMatthew Garrett
We currently refuse to touch the ASPM registers if the BIOS tells us that ASPM isn't supported. This can cause problems if the BIOS has (for any reason) enabled ASPM on some devices anyway. Change the code such that we explicitly clear ASPM if the FADT indicates that ASPM isn't supported, and make sure we tidy up appropriately on device removal in order to deal with the hotplug case. If ASPM is disabled because the BIOS doesn't hand over control then we won't touch the registers.

2010-12-17[media] bttv: fix mutex use before init (BZ#24602)Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Fix a regression where bttv driver causes oopses when loading, since it were using some non-initialized mutexes. While it would be possible to fix the issue, there are some other lock troubles, like to the presence of lock code at free_btres_lock(). It is possible to fix, but the better is to just use the core-assisted locking schema. This way, V4L2 core will serialize access to all ioctl's/open/close/mmap/read/poll operations, avoiding to have two processes accessing the hardware at the same time. Also, as there's just one lock, instead of 3, there's no risk of dead locks. The net result is a cleaner code, with just one lock.
