[PATCH 1/2] input: Add support of Synaptics Clickpad device
Add the detection of Synaptics Clickpad device. The device can be detected a new query command 0x0c. The clickpad flags are in cap[0]:4 and cap[1]:0 bits. But, the driver checks first the product id bits in the ext capabilities to be sure, so that it skips the new check on older devices. When the device is det... 14 Apr 2010 12:09

[PATCH v2] change alloc function in alloc_slab_page
V2 * change changelog * Add some reviewed-by alloc_slab_page always checks nid == -1, so alloc_page_node can't be called with -1. It means node's validity check in alloc_pages_node is unnecessary. So we can use alloc_pages_exact_node instead of alloc_pages_node. It could avoid comparison and branch as 6484... 14 Apr 2010 12:09
