The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.
The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.
We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.
It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.
Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.
The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.
We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing,
but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed
overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details.
The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that
has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the
userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many
devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
well promote it out of staging.
This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing
it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS
entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google
developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I
checked they were, which was good.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
reported issues.

The imx-drm driver was put into staging mostly for the following reasons,
all of which have been addressed or superseded:
- convert the irq driver to use linear irq domains
- work out the device tree bindings, this lead to the common of_graph
bindings being used
- factor out common helper functions, this mostly resulted in the
component framework and drm of_graph helpers.
Before adding new fixes, and certainly before adding new features,
move it into its proper place below drivers/gpu/drm.

Add staging board base support to allow continuous upstream
in-tree development and integration of platform devices.
Helps developers integrate devices as platform devices for
device drivers that only provide platform device bindings.
This in turn allows for incremental development of both
hardware feature support and DT binding work in parallel.
Two separate pieces of board staging functionality is
provided to ease per-board staging board support:
- The board_staging() macro allows easy per-board callbacks
- The board_staging_dt_node_available() provides DT node checking

Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM. " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.
Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.
zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.
Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.
This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.

This comes directly from the Realtek tarball, filename:
wifi_driver_8821ae_0018.1129.2013.tar.gz
I mushed the three modules (btcoexist, rtlwifi and rtl8821ae) together
into one, in order to make it all build as one stand-alone module.
After the btcoexist driver gets merged upstream, I'll pull it out of
here, and will continue to work on removing this version of rtlwifi in
order to use the in-kernel one.

No one seems to be working on it anymore, and it really should be merged
into the already-existing btusb driver. Also, there is not any proper
author attribution on the code (it was copied from the in-kernel
driver...)
If someone wants to pick this back up, we can easily revert this, but
for now, delete the driver.

There are still many rts5208/5288 card readers being used, but no
drivers are supported them in kernel now. This driver can make a
great convenience for people who use them.
Many other rts-series card reader are supported by mfd driver, but due
to much difference with others, rts5208/5288 can not add into mfd driver
pretty now, so we provide a separated driver here to support the device.

ktap should be merged through the "proper" place in the kernel tree, in

This patch introduces ktap to staging tree.
ktap is a new script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux,
it uses a scripting language and lets users trace the
Linux kernel dynamically. ktap is designed to give
operational insights with interoperability that allow
users to tune, troubleshoot and extend kernel and application.
It's similar with Linux Systemtap and Solaris Dtrace.
ktap have different design principles from Linux mainstream
dynamic tracing language in that it's based on bytecode,
so it doesn't depend upon GCC, doesn't require compiling
kernel module for each script, safe to use in production
environment, fulfilling the embedded ecosystem's tracing needs.
See ktap tutorial for more information:
http://www.ktap.org/doc/tutorial.html
The merit of putting this software in staging tree is
to make it more possible to get feedback from users
and thus polish the code.

To quote the TODO from staging/net/:
PC300:
The driver is very broken and cannot work with the current TTY
layer. It is inevitable to convert it to the new TTY API. If no
one steps in to adopt the driver, it will be removed in the 3.7
release.
Nothing has changed since more than _one_ year on this driver, thus
just remove it since we already moved past 3.7. If somebody steps
up and does a whole rework, he/she, of course, is free to resubmit
it. Since this is the only one in the net directory, we can remove
it as well.

The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with
paired ports (2 or 4). The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the
network packets to pass or insert the device in between the two ports.
When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, they
provide high availability for the network in the face of software
outages or maintenance.

[V2: rebased to apply to 20120905 staging-next, no other changes]
The original zcache in staging is a "demo" version, and this is a massive
rewrite. This was intended to result in a merged zcache and ramster, but
that option has been blocked so, to continue forward progress on ramster
and future related projects, only ramster moves to the new codebase.
To differentiate between the old demo zcache and the rewrite, we refer
to the latter as zcache2, config'd as CONFIG_ZCACHE2. Zcache and zcache2
cannot be built in the same kernel, so CONFIG_ZCACHE2 implies !CONFIG_ZCACHE.
This developer still has hope that zcache and zcache2 will be merged
into one codebase. Until then, zcache2 can be considered a one-node
version of ramster.
No history of changes was recorded during the zcache2 rewrite and recreating
a sane one would be a Sisyphean task but, since ramster is still in
staging and has been unchanged since it was merged, presumably this
is acceptable.
This commit also provides the hooks in zcache2 for ramster, but all
ramster-specific code is provided in a separate commit.
Some of the highlights of this rewritten codebase for zcache2:
(Note: If you are not familiar with the tmem terminology, you can review
it here: http://lwn.net/Articles/454795/ )
1. Merge of "demo" zcache and the v1.1 version of zcache in ramster. Zcache
and ramster had a great deal of duplicate code which is now merged.
In essence, zcache2 *is* ramster but with no remote machine available,
but !CONFIG_RAMSTER will avoid compiling lots of ramster-specific code.
2. Allocator. Previously, persistent pools used zsmalloc and ephemeral pools
used zbud. Now a completely rewritten zbud is used for both. Notably
this zbud maintains all persistent (frontswap) and ephemeral (cleancache)
pageframes in separate queues in LRU order.
3. Interaction with page allocator. Zbud does no page allocation/freeing,
it is done entirely in zcache2 where it can be tracked more effectively.
4. Better pre-allocation. Previously, on put, if a new pageframe could not be
pre-allocated, the put would fail, even if the allocator had plenty of
partial pages where the data could be stored; this is now fixed.
5. Ouroboros ("eating its own tail") allocation. If no pageframe can be
allocated AND no partial pages are available, the least-recently-used
ephemeral pageframe is reclaimed immediately (including flushing tmem
pointers to it) and re-used. This ensures that most-recently-used
cleancache pages are more likely to be retained than LRU pages and also
that, as in the core mm subsystem, anonymous pages have a higher priority
than clean page cache pages.
6. Zcache and zbud now use debugfs instead of sysfs. Ramster uses debugfs
where possible and sysfs where necessary. (Some ramster configuration
is done from userspace so some sysfs is necessary.)
7. Modularization. As some have observed, the monolithic zcache-main.c code
included zbud code, which has now been separated into its own code module.
Much ramster-specific code in the old ramster zcache-main.c has also been
moved into ramster.c so that it does not get compiled with !CONFIG_RAMSTER.
8. Rebased to 3.5.
This new codebase also provides hooks for several future new features:
A. WasActive patch, requires some mm/frontswap changes previously posted.
A new version of this patch will be provided separately.
See ifdef __PG_WAS_ACTIVE
B. Exclusive gets. It seems tmem _can_ support exclusive gets with a
minor change to both zcache2 and a small backwards-compatible change
to frontswap.c. Explanation and frontswap patch will be provided
separately. See ifdef FRONTSWAP_HAS_EXCLUSIVE_GETS
C. Ouroboros writeback. Since persistent (frontswap) pages may now also be
reclaimed in LRU order, the foundation is in place to properly writeback
these pages back into the swap cache and then the swap disk. This is still
under development and requires some other mm changes which are prototyped.
See ifdef FRONTSWAP_HAS_UNUSE.
A new feature that desperately needs attention (if someone is looking for
a way to contribute) is kernel module support. A preliminary version of
a patch was posted by Erlangen University and needs to be integrated and
tested for zcache2 and brought up to kernel standards.
If anybody is interested on helping out with any of these, let me know!

In the System Control Module, OMAP supplies a voltage reference
and a temperature sensor feature that are gathered in the band
gap voltage and temperature sensor (VBGAPTS) module. The band
gap provides current and voltage reference for its internal
circuits and other analog IP blocks. The analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) produces an output value that is proportional
to the silicon temperature.
This patch provides a platform driver which expose this feature.
It is moduled as a MFD child of the System Control Module core

The Configurable Gadget driver is a composite driver that allows
userspace to change at runtime the list of functions enabled in
its configuration and to configure these functions. It supports
multiple functions: acm, rndis, and mass storage.
It is usually controlled by a daemon that changes the configuration
based on user settings. For example, rndis is enabled when the user
enables sharing the phone data connection.
As an example on how to use it, the following shell commands will
make the gadget disconnect from the host and make it be re-enumerated
as a composite with 1 rndis and 2 acm interfaces, and a different
product id:
echo 0 > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/enable
echo rndis,acm > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/functions
echo 2 > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/f_acm/instances
echo -n 0x2d01 > /sys/module/g_ccg/parameters/idProduct
echo 1 > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/enable
The driver requires a gadget controller that supports software
control of the D+ pullup and the controller driver must support
disabling the pullup during composite_bind.

Pull nouveau destaging + Kelper modesetting support from Dave Airlie:
"This pull request is unexpected and not something I had mentioned
previously.
So NVIDIA announced new Kepler GPUs this morning, and Ben has killed
himself getting modesetting support for them together to have on
launch day. Most of the code to support the new chips has already
gone in, however this pull contains a few more pieces along with the
final enables so the driver binds to the new Kepler cards. Its quite
amazing that nouveau can support a GPU on its launch day even if its
just unaccelerated modesetting, and I'd like to have support in the
next kernel.
In order to sweeten the deal, Ben has also requested nouveau destage
and become ABI stable, the only change is the version number bump
which he prepared userspace for quite a long time ago. The driver
hasn't broken ABI since that one big break that caused a lot of fuss.
It's also quite a small set of code, and not likely to break anything."

A DRM display driver for TI OMAP platform. Similar to omapfb (fbdev)
and omap_vout (v4l2 display) drivers in the past, this driver uses the
DSS2 driver to access the display hardware, including support for
HDMI, DVI, and various types of LCD panels. And it implements GEM
support for buffer allocation (for KMS as well as offscreen buffers
used by the xf86-video-omap userspace xorg driver).
The driver maps CRTCs to overlays, encoders to overlay-managers, and
connectors to dssdev's. Note that this arrangement might change slightly
when support for drm_plane overlays is added.
For GEM support, non-scanout buffers are using the shmem backed pages
provided by GEM core (In drm_gem_object_init()). In the case of scanout
buffers, which need to be physically contiguous, those are allocated
with CMA and use drm_gem_private_object_init().
See userspace xorg driver:

In practice, it is being hard to distinguish when a patch
should go to staging tree or to the media tree. Better
to distinguish it, by putting the media drivers at a

go to the drivers/staging/media tree.

With the mainline patch being applied to the wireless-next repository
by John Linville this driver is no longer needed under the staging
directory. This patch ends its life under the staging tree.

plus any changes that have been sent out for review.
Sources in staging will be deleted in a followup patch.

This driver has been broken at least since 2008. At that time,
a88487c79b (Fix compile errors in SGI console drivers) broke this
driver completely.
And since nobody noticed for the past 3 years, move it into staging. I
think this will rot there and we will throw it away completely after
some time. Or maybe someone will volunteer to fix it ;).
