<title>sgi-xp: eliminate false detection of no heartbeat</title>

<id>158bc69effbf96f59c01cdeb20f8d4c184e59f8e</id>
<content type='text'>
After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of
time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by
a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running
on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC
that was just restarted.  This false detection will occur if the restarted
XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's
heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds).

The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating
from the just restarted XPC.  The only remedy is to restart one of the
XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the
other partitions.

<title>fujitsu-laptop: Simplify SBLL/SBL2 backlight handling</title>

GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need
to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the
BLNF check has disappeared.
As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both
the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on
the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys
is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.

<title>fujitsu-laptop: Add BL power, LED control and radio state information</title>

The FUNC interface in the Fujitsu-Siemens DSDT was unused until now. It exposes
state information that is now reported in additional platform files (whether the
radios are killed by the hardware switch or operational, whether the machine is
docked and whether the lid is open).
Support for the backlight class is now extended with the ability to power the
backlight on &amp; off. Optional support for the LED class allows the keyboard
headlamps found on the U810 netbook and the Fujitsu logo illumination on the
P8010 notebook to be turned on &amp; off.

This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, P8010 &amp; U810 platforms.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-misc-2.6: (45 commits)
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Update version number to 8.03.00-k1.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Add ISP81XX support.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Use proper request/response queues with MQ instantiations.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Correct MQ-chain information retrieval during a firmware dump.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Collapse EFT/FCE copy procedures during a firmware dump.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Don't pollute kernel logs with ZIO/RIO status messages.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Don't fallback to interrupt-polling during re-initialization with MSI-X enabled.
  [SCSI] qla2xxx: Remove support for reading/writing HW-event-log.
  [SCSI] cxgb3i: add missing include
  [SCSI] scsi_lib: fix DID_RESET status problems
  [SCSI] fc transport: restore missing dev_loss_tmo callback to LLDD
  [SCSI] aha152x_cs: Fix regression that keeps driver from using shared interrupts
  [SCSI] sd: Correctly handle 6-byte commands with DIX
  [SCSI] sd: DIF: Fix tagging on platforms with signed char
  [SCSI] sd: DIF: Show app tag on error
  [SCSI] Fix error handling for DIF/DIX
  [SCSI] scsi_lib: don't decrement busy counters when inserting commands
  [SCSI] libsas: fix test for negative unsigned and typos
  [SCSI] a2091, gvp11: kill warn_unused_result warnings
  [SCSI] fusion: Move a dereference below a NULL test
  ...

Fixed up trivial conflict due to moving the async part of sd_probe
around in the async probes vs using dev_set_name() in naming.
