From: Douglas Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Patches are against 2.6.22-rc3-mm1
This series of patches enhances the feature set of EDAC, fixes some bugs and adds some new memory drivers. The patches do the following: 1- Various cleanups 2- Altered the file 'edac_mc.c' to be for memory controller code only. Moved the module startup and exit code to edac_module.c 3- The 'core' of EDAC is now the 'edac_core.ko' module 4- Added the new 'edac_device' class of EDAC controller. With this new class, non-memory ECC hardware detectors can be manged, such as L1/L2 ECC detectors, DMA, Central switches, Fibric switches, etc. File 'edac_device.c' handles this new class 5- Moved sysfs related operations into their respective files, 'edac_mc_sysfs.c' for Memory devices and 'edac_device_sysfs.c' for edac_device devices. 6- changed operation from semaphore to mutex operation 7- Modified operaton of PCI polling to be it own class instead of built-in into the EDAC CORE 8- Modified the CORE to use work queues instead of a dedicated kthread for polling 9-New memory controller drivers: Intel 5000X, Intel 30X0 10- Added sysfs controlls ability to the top level of memory and edac_device controllers. Low level driver can now add their own specific attributes and controllers. Useful for accessing error injection hardware registers. 11- Patches that perform some cleanup via the Lindent script for code conformance. 12- A NMI hook mechanism to provide notification to the low level driver if a NMI event occurred during a poll operation, and thus re-poll the device. The features have come from their respective developers on MIPS, PPC, x86, and others. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
