Since every caller has to squirrel away the returned pointer anyway,
they might as well supply the memory area.  This fixes a bug in a few of
the call sites where the returned pointer was dereferenced without
checking it for NULL (which gets returned if the kzalloc failed).

I'd like to hear how sound and netdev feels about this: it will add
about two more pointers worth of data to struct netdev and struct
snd_pcm_substream .. but I think it's worth it.  If you're OK, I'll add
your acks and send through the pm tree.

This also looks to me like an android independent clean up (even though
it renders the request_add atomically callable).  I also added include
guards to include/linux/pm_qos_params.h

I like all of the patches in this series, thanks a lot for doing this!

I guess it might be worth sending a CC to the LKML next round so that people
can see [1/3] (I don't expect any objections, but anyway it would be nice).

Thanks,
Rafael

I cc'd the latest owners of plist.h ... although Daniel Walker has
apparently since left MontaVista, Thomas Gleixner is still current ...
and he can speak for the RT people, who are the primary plist users.

I can do another round and cc lkml, I was just hoping this would be the
last revision.

James

Thank you for doing this!, I'll integrate it into some testing targets
in the morning!

OK, let's see if there's any feedback on [3/3] from netdev and Takashi.
If there's none, I'll just put the series into my linux-next branch.

I'm still paying attention tho .. I didn't see anything objection worthy
in the plist changes.. If you do send another round you might want to
add Oleg Nesterov , most of the code was redone by him ..

I would apply this one too, but I need a final changelog for it.  Care to send?

How about:

All current users of pm_qos_add_request() have the ability to supply the
memory required by the pm_qos routines, so make them do this and
eliminate the kmalloc() with pm_qos_add_request().  This has the double
benefit of making the call never fail and allowing it to be called from
atomic context.

+ signoffs

sorry for the late reply, as I've been on vacation in the last week

I like the patch very well, too.
But, just wondering...

Is this correct...?  Shouldn't it be a negative check?

Yes, it should be a negative check ... I'll update the patch.  I guess
this still means that no-one has managed to test it on a functional
system ...
