[RFC][PATCH] PCI / PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services simultaneously
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw(a)sisk.pl> It turns out that asking ACPI BIOS, through _OSC, for control of each PCIe port native service individually sometimes confuses the BIOS if one sevice is requested while the others are not (eg. requesting control of the native PCIe PME without requesting control of the native... 24 Jul 2010 19:53

[PATCH] watchdog: Add watchdog driver for OCTEON SOCs (v2).
The OCTEON is a MIPS64 based SOC family with an on chip watchdog unit. The driver is split into two source files one for the C code and one for assembly. Assembly is needed to handle the NMI and then print the machine state before the reboot is triggered. v2: Stylistic changes suggested by Sam Ravnborg. Sig... 24 Jul 2010 13:24

check capabilities in open()
Hi, I've found that some drivers check process capabilities via capable() in open(), not in ioctl()/write()/etc. I cannot find answer in POSIX, but IMO process expects that file descriptors of priviledged user and file descriptors of the same file/device are the same in priviledge aspect. Driver should deny/al... 26 Jul 2010 13:50
