path.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Initial implementation of 5705 support.
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Bug fixes for 5705 support.
- (major) status block DMA address wasn't being set, for 5705. whoops. :)
- (minor) pass 5705-specific RX_STD_MAX_SIZE
- (minor) don't program RCVBDI_JUMBO_THRESH reg on 5705
- (very minor) re-order *THRESH, HOSTCC* regs per bcm570x driver order
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: More 5705 updates.
- do not zero stats/status block on 5705, they don't exist
(in controller memory, at least)
- define TG3_MAX_MTU macro such that it takes a (tp) pointer arg,
because the value varies between 5705 and non-5705
- use the macro to simply tg3_change_mtu
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: More 5705 fixes.
- call set-wire-speed phy function from tg3_phy_reset, not just _phy_probe
- disable set-wire-speed usage on certain chips, per bcm5700 driver
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Another 5705 fix: enable eeprom write prot as needed.
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Only write the on-nic sram addr on non-5705.
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Add 5782 pci id.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>

of le32_to_cpus .
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: usb_sg_cancel() + disconnect, fewer messages
One tester reported that disconnecting in the middle of a scatterlist
operation would give a lot of confusing messages. This should improve
that situation a bunch: most of the messages were pointless. It also
resolves some related FIXMEs for both queue cleanup modes (cancelation,
and after transport fault).
- now only urbs in flight have non-null urb->dev, so we can avoid
trying to unlink unsubmitted or (common) already-completed urbs.
- it's ok to get -EBUSY unlink status, it just means the urb's
already being given back (though since it's in flight, it's
not an error to try unlinking).
Also, the relevant diagnostics now use dev_*() driver model calls,
making the kernel strings smaller and the output more useful.
<abbotti@mev.co.uk>
[PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio - fix memory leak and tidy up write bulk callback
The patch frees the bulk write urb's transfer buffer in the write
bulk callback (the buffer is allocated dynamically when the urb is
submitted). The patch also tidies up the write bulk callback
function a little bit - removing some unnecessary paranoid checks
and scheduling a soft interrupt regardless of the port's open count
(for consistency with other usb serial drivers).
<dhollis@davehollis.com>
[PATCH] USB: Add ax8817x support to usbnet
This patch adds support to usbnet for devices based on the ASIX AX88172
USB 2.0 Ethernet chipset.
<gaa@ulticom.com>
[PATCH] USB: new ids for io_ti driver
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: More missing PCI IDs.
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 1 of 4
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 2 of 4
I used a combination of:
egrep -l 'UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|\<KERNEL_VERSION\>'
and "grep -l linux/version.h" to find them. They compiled
as module/non-module for me. The previous patch adds
version.h, btw.
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 3 of 4
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 4 of 4
<quade@hsnr.de>
[PATCH] USB: writing usb driver documentation update
I noticed, that your documentation of your usb-skeleton driver
is not up to date. So I took the time to rework it slightly.
I append the patch to the version I found in kernel 2.6.0-test3.
<cat@zip.com.au>
[PATCH] USB: C99: 2.6.0-t3-bk7/Documentation
<andersen@codepoet.org>
[PATCH] Fix cdrom error handling in 2.6
In both 2.4 and in 2.6, error handling for bad cdrom media is
wrong. And it is my fault I'm afraid, since I botched an earlier
fix for the problem by putting the fix in the wrong spot.
My kids have a "Jumpstart Toddlers" cd they have long since
completely killed, which makes a great test disc. Without this
fix, the best time projection I can get for completing a dd type
sector copy is about 2 years... Most of that is spent thrashing
about in kernel space trying to re-read sectors we already know
are not correctable.... After the fix, I was able to rip a copy
the CD (or rather muddle through it getting lots of EIO errors)
in about 15 minutes.
Attached is the fix for 2.6.x,
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Add the fadvise64_64 system call.
On PPC32 we reorder the arguments so they fit into 6 registers. Glibc will
need a two-line stub to change them from the standard order to the ordering
used by the system call: (fd, advice, offset, len).
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Declare cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map as cpumask_t.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Update some of the example configs
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Input: typo in device matching.
Too much cut-and-paste, noticed by Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>
<vinay-rc@naturesoft.net>
[PATCH] vx_entry.c: remove release timer
sound/pcmcia/vx/vx_entry.c:
This patch removes the PCMCIA timer release functionality which is no
longer required. Without this the module does not compile.

[ARM PATCH] 1613/1: arch/arm/boot/Makefile fixups for IOP3xx and ADIFCC
Patch from Deepak Saxena
Small cleanups for ADIFCC and IOP3XX machine types to support
ATAG parameters. Working with Intel and ADI to get updated
bootloaders that pass the tags.
Also, all known IOP3xx boards have memory starting at 0xa0000000,
so we can remove the redundant ARCH_IQ* zreladdr values.
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1616/1: Add PFN_TO_NID to IOP3xx
Patch from Deepak Saxena
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1621/1: IOP3xx CPU detection (cleaned up)
Patch from Deepak Saxena
Removes extraneous bits that belong to separate IOP3xx PCI cleanup patch
Supersedes 1618/1

Patch from Deepak Saxena
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1559/1: updated include/asm-arm/checksum.h big-endian support
Patch from Deepak Saxena
This is an update to patch 1529/1 that cleans up the code so we don't need
#ifdef's for little vs. big-endian systems. Tested on both systems with
various network apps (ping, ftp, tftp, ssh, telnet, NFS root, http) with no
issues.
<fbecker@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1563/1: Update pxa-regs.h with correct gpio number for 48 MHz clock output
Patch from Frank Becker
GPIO for 48 MHz clock output is 7 not 8.
<nico@org.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1565/1: syscall macros clobbering returned error value
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
In both 2.5.70-rmk1 and 2.4.19-rmk7 the syscall macros are clobering
the returned error value when building library code.
Example code:
#include <linux/unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
extern int fake_syscall(int x, int y, int z);
_syscall3(int, fake_syscall, int, x, int, y, int, z)
Current generated code:
fake_syscall:
@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
str lr, [sp, #-4]!
swi __NR_fake_syscall
cmn r0, #126
ldrls pc, [sp], #4
bl __errno_location
rsb r3, r0, #0
str r3, [r0, #0]
mvn r0, #0
ldr pc, [sp], #4
In the code above, whenever the return value is an error code, it
is lost due to the call to __errno_location. And because of the
asm("r0") constraint on the variable __res the compiler continues
using r0 for it even if it's now a pointer value. errno ends up with
a totally bogus value.
With the patch below the above code becomes:
fake_syscall:
@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
stmfd sp!, {r4, lr}
swi __NR_fake_syscall
cmn r0, #126
mov r4, r0
bls .L3
bl __errno_location
rsb r3, r4, #0
str r3, [r0, #0]
mvn r4, #0
.L3:
mov r0, r4
ldmfd sp!, {r4, pc}
which is correct.
Oh and added a small estetic change for generated code too.

were getting tons of spurrious ADB events
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[IPV4]: Route cache /proc interface cleanup.
* use proc_net_fops_create to setup
* collapse two_line setup functions into the init routine
* proc_exit routine was never called and can go.
* cleaner to refer to proc_net as base rather than net/rt_acct
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[NETFILTER]: Trivial 2.6 tftp conntrack fix.
In 2.6, the TFTP conntrack helper returns -1 if the packet is too
short, but that is an invalid return code. Return NF_ACCEPT
instead.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Fix vmlinux linker script
Since we're now 32-bit "armv" only, we don't need to select the
linker script in vmlinux.lds.S. Also, whoever moved vmlinux.lds.S
into arch/arm/kernel forgot to move the other scripts.
This cset replaces arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S with
arch/arm/vmlinux-armv.lds.in, and deletes the obsolete scripts.
<bdschuym@pandora.be>
[BRIDGE]: Add arpreply EBTABLES target.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[AX25]: Make sure and hold ref to dev.
The lower layers of ax25 hold a reference to the underlying device
but don't increment the ref count. This is safe because it does the
right thing when UNREGISTER notification comes in, but it is better
to do the right thing.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[AX25]: Convert to seq_file.
<bdschuym@pandora.be>
[BRIDGING]: Update Kconfig files for bridging firewall.

dereference when the driver is rmmod with the netdev still running.
<lists@mdiehl.de>
[IRDA]: vlsi_ir v0.5 update, 2/7.
* don't fail without procfs - it's only needed for diagnostics
* get rid of printk in favour of IRDA_DEBUG and friends wherever possible

<lists@mdiehl.de>
[IRDA]: vlsi_ir v0.5 update, 3/7.
* fix error path for ring entry alloc in case pci_map failed

to kill the box on such issues
* correct endianess for the hardware view of ring descriptors
<lists@mdiehl.de>

[NET]: Fix 'spin_lock_irqrestore' typos in sk_mca.c
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Fix ipt_REJECT if used on bridge.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Remove ipt_MIRROR target from 2.6.x
We have decided to remove the MIRROR target, since it was considered a
stupid and potentially dangeroups example code of the early netfilter
days that should never be used on the internet anyway.
<skewer@terra.com.br>
[NET]: Remove dead comment from dummy.c driver.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Remove ipt_unclean match from 2.6.x
We have decided to remove the unclean match, since it is considered
a potentially dangerous function of the current iptables code.
The match is used by lots of users who don't really undestand what kind
of danger they are imposing on the future-compatibility of their
networks. (just think of the ECN issue resulting from this kind of
filtering)
We'd rather keep it in patch-o-matic, where lots of other modules that
are only useful in experimental scenarios are kept.
Now that we don't have to keep it for compatibility reasons, we'd like
to remove it before 2.6.0 final is released.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Remove EXPERIMENTAL mark from some netfilter stuff.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Cosmetic netfilter patch.
- moves all MODULE_{AUTHOR,DESCRIPTION,LICENSE} statements to the same
location
- adds some missing MODULE_LICENSE(GPL) tags
- adds MODULE_DESCRIPTION and AUTHOR to all modules
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: NAT optimization.
The following patch against 2.6.0-test4 (courtesy of Patrick McHardy)
optimizes the NAT code. In the old implementation, the hash function
was passed to the LIST_DELETE macro, which resulted in it being called
two times instead of one.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Conntrack optimization (LIST_DELETE).
The following patch against 2.6.0-test4 (courtesy of Patrick McHardy)

These calls no longer take "level" arguments, so there's no need to
call them multiple times.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Fix ecard.c manufacturer and product files.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[SPARC]: Update ethtool support in Sun net drivers.
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Update PowerMac IDE driver. Adapt to new driver model, add proper
support for Kauai ATA/100 and add activity led code.
NOTE: The activity LED code has been left out of Kconfig until the
proper support for it in the blk & ide layers have been merged
(pending patch from Jens Axboe)
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Tweak the bridge control register for PCI and cardbus bridges.
This ensures that we release reset on devices behind a PCI bridge,
and that we have error reporting enabled behind bridges.

[ARM] Remove old binutils compatibility.
Old binutils (without .incbin) had the idea that a certain assembler
instruction was illegal. binutils has since been fixed to allow it.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Update AMBA suspend/resume model.
The device_driver suspend/resume methods are no longer used. Instead,

[ARM] Update SA1111 suspend/resume model.
The device_driver suspend/resume methods are no longer used. Instead,
the bus_type contains the suspend/resume methods. Fix the SA1111 bus
support for this change.
We place the probe/remove/suspend/resume methods inside struct
sa1111_driver and call them from the SA1111 bus driver (ie, how
Pat wants this stuff done.)
We leave the parent bus device suspend/resume methods in the device
driver until power management for platform devices works again.
However, we adjust these methods so they run only once, like the
other PM methods.

[NETFILTER]: New iptables modules (iprange, CLASSIFY, SAME, NETMAP).
The following patch against 2.6.0-test4 adds four more iptables modules.
They are adding the following functionality
- iprange: matching against an arbitrary contiguous range of ip addresses
- CLASSIFY: setting skb->priority from iptables (so you can skip tc filter)
- NETMAP: SNAT a whole network 1:1 to another network
- SAME: tries to keep the assigned ip per client the same within an SNAT
pool

[PATCH] IOMMU overflow handling fix for MPT fusion
Currently mpt fusion does not handle IOMMU overflow (pci_map_sg returning 0)
very gracefully. It gets not reported to the upper layers. This patch fixes this.
As a related note the fusion driver tends to trigger the NMI watchdog as soon
as it goes into any error recovery, because it busy waits for seconds with
interrupts disabled (seems to be still true with the new error handling in 2.6).
This is a big inconvenient because it leads to a forced oops.
I tried to work around it by exporting touch_nmi_watchdog and using it in
the delays, but Linus was opposed to this approach. It would be nice
if someone could fix this. Afaik in 2.6 the error recovery should mostly
run in process context, so it should be possible to use schedule_timeout()
with interrupts on for the delays.
At least on x86-64 the NMI watchdog runs by default and even on i386 it is a
very useful debugging tool.

[PATCH] dc395x [2/6] - cleanup devices

which ones free a device (or devices.)
<lenehan@twibble.org>
[PATCH] dc395x [3/6] - cleanup adapter init
Cleanup of the adapter initialization sequence. Now it's clear what

bunch of different functions. This then made it possible to ensure
that appropriate the resources were correctly released in the event
of failure.

correctly located.

[PATCH] ia64: no discontig w/o NUMA

scripts/Makefile.build. This means we'll generate .cmd files instead
of the .d files which makes CVS happier.

[PATCH] fixup some tagged queuing mess
This is a followup to Doug's comments and older work. It kills
sdev->tagged_queue which wasn't ever set in 2.5/2.6 except through
obscure and broken ioctls (!). As a reason of that tagged queing
didn't work for a lot of drivers, so this does change behaviour.
Be careful..
James, can you review the code in 53c700.c? Calling scsi_activate_tcq
in ->queuecommand rather than ->slave_configure looks rather strange to
me..

This is the 2.5 version of a 2.4 patch posted to the list long

volume writeable on the fly so we have to call check_disk_change
for write-protected devices in sd_open, too.

[PCMCIA] Add generic and per-controller power management handling.
Add per-quirk power management to aid saving/restoring controller
specific state. Also, add proper pci state saving/restoring.
Note that Cardbus bridges have to save and restore at least 0x48
bytes of configuration space, not 0x40.
This replaces the rather muddy save state in early initialisation,
restore it on socket init stuff that we previously had.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Move PM restore from socket initialisation.
There is less reason for socket initialisation to vary between
controller types now. In fact, we could very well get rid of
much of the TI-specific socket initialisation quirk handling,
since TI realised that they should be more compatible with other
implementations in later versions of their bridges.

Now that we clearly know what each quirk type is doing, we can think

supports setting this bit.

[netdrvr sis190] use PCI DMA API for RX buffers
Missing pieces for DMA-API on the Rx side:
- SiS190_init_ring: the global area for the received data is mapped.
This area is persistent during the whole driver's life.
It only needs to be unmapped in SiS190_close() as no other exit/error
path exists.
- SiS190_rx_interrupt: no map/unmap for received data buffer. A single
sync operation is done. Btw, there is no need to store the same value
in RxDescArray[cur_rx].buf_addr over and over again.
- Remove driver dependancy on CONFIG_BROKEN.

newer chips; and (mostly) revert it when clearing
endpoint halt feature. (bugfix)
- add missing define for the "force crc error" bit;
I guess those #defines were generated from old chip
specs! potentially useful with test software.
- sysfs register dump includes chiprev and decodes some
of the more interesting endpoint response bits.
- makes a sysfs "gadget" node, representing the gadget
itself. (decided against the class_device or bus_type
approaches, until their value outweighs their costs.)

[PATCH] USB: usbnet, cdc ethernet descriptor parsing fixes
This makes the new CDC Ethernet code handle more devices:
- Uses the active config, not just the default one, if it's
coping "descriptors in wrong place" quirk. (bugfix)
- Uses usb_ifnum_to_if() to get interfaces. (bugfix)
- AMBIT USB cable modems have bogus CDC Union descriptors;
workaround by switching master and slave. (add quirk)
- To make it easier the next time we run into firmware
that violates the class spec, add debug messages saying
exactly why it's giving up on a given CDC device.
Net result, this code now handles at least one more
cable modem design.

[PATCH] USB: ohci -- reset, fault recovery
This fixes two small and unrelated bugs in the current OHCI code:
- Certain initialization sequences had problems with IRQs.
Fixed last month in EHCI, but this ohci patch didn't seem
needed back then. OK, so now I saw the same bug in OHCI.
(I could believe UHCI needs it too, sigh.)
- When restarting endpoint i/o after a queue fault, the HC
needs to be told the control (or bulk) list filled (CLF/BLF).
Likely this wasn't common (usbtest test10 subcase7 fault
recovery reproduced it nicely).
Please merge. Lack of the first one might make trouble for
some people.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: uhci-hcd, add uhci_reset()
This is a straightforward change matching ones sent in
for ehci (last month) and ohci (earlier this week).
It abstracts the reset operation into something that's
called before the pci glue does much to the hardware.
It also arranges to kick the BIOS off the hardware before
it resets it (not after) ... so there's no confusion at
any time about what driver "owns" that hardware. (Again
matching what ehci and ohci drivers do.)

[PATCH] USB: net2280, patch dma chains
One person working on a mass-storage driver (the usb protocol
side, not the block subsystem side) ran into a bug in how a
bit of net2280 dma automagic was handled.
This patch fixes it by calling existing dma chain patchup
code when the dma engine was forced to "hiccup" by having
a not-yet-valid entry in it. The hiccup is needed in this
case since the IN data stage mustn't terminate with a
short transfer (zero length packet); but the status stage
is always a short packet. The "terminate with short packet"
bit is endpoint state, not request state, so IN dma queues
sometimes need this kind of fixup.

[AGPGART] Numerous AMD64 gart driver cleanups.
From Andi Kleen.
- Fix the help text for the 8151 driver
- Fix the dependencies (must be compiled in when the IOMMU is in)
- Add __setup options for when the AGP driver is compiled in:
agp=off agp=try_unsupported
Currently only supported for the K8 driver, the other drivers
would need fixes in their module init functions too.
- Add try_unsupported support for the K8 driver.
- Add some aperture sanity checking to the K8 driver.
There are unfortunately still BIOS around that get it wrong.
- Also try to read the aperture from the AGP bridge if it is bogus
in the Northbridge. Windows only looks into the bridge and some BIOS only
put the aperture there.
[These two changes are only useful for 32bit kernels. The 64bit kernel
checks this in aperture.c anyways, and fixes it. The 32bit kernel
cannot fix a complety broken aperture currently, but at least it will
not crash now]
- Clean up handling for multiple northbridges. The paths are the same
now for as for a single NB.
- Some other minor cleanups.

[sysfs] Fix memory leak.
From Thomas Spatzier. First reported by Martin Schwidefsky.
Entries in the dentry_cache allocated for objects in sysfs are not freed when
the objects in sysfs are deleted. This effect is due to inconsistent reference
counting in sysfs. Furthermore, when calling sysfs_remove_dir the deleted
directory was not removed from its parent's list of children. The attached
patch should fix the problems.

[kobject] Support unlimited name lengths.
Add ->k_name pointer which points to the name for a kobject. By default, this
points to ->name (the static name array).
Users of kobjects may use the helper function kobject_set_name() (and are
encouraged to do so in all cases). This function will determined whether or
not the name is short enough to fit in ->name. If so, great.
Otherwise, a dyanamic string is allocated and the name is stored there.
->k_name will point to that, and will be freed when the kobject is released.
kobject_set_name() may take a format string, like:
kobject_set_name(kobj,"%s%d",base_name,id);
and will behave as expected (will put in ->name, unless it's too long, in
which case a new string will be allocated and it will be stored in there).

[DDP]: Invert logic for clarity.
It is a lot clearer to invert the logic used in the destroy_socket

- column headers changed to same format as /proc/net/atalk/interface

[DDP]: Fix obsolete comment about module handling.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[DDP]: Fix oops in aecho socket handling.
This fixes the problem caused by interrupting aecho causing an oops.
What happened was that the sock was detached from the user process
but sk->sk_sleep was still so when write data was freed it would
do a wakeup on a poisoned data. The sk_state_change code that was
there isn't necessary, because we are in middle of release so no
user process can be waiting. sock_orphan does the right thing
and sets SOCK_DEAD.
This is similar to what some other protocols do. But some will
have the same sk->sk_sleep problem...
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[ATALK]: Move aarp procfs file into atalk subdirectory.
Move aarp /proc interface like all the others in 2.6;
the other appletalk /proc interfaces were moved to /proc/net/atalk
but aarp was overlooked.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[DDP]: Missing netdev refcounting.
DDP holds a pointer to underlying network device, but doesn't
do the refcount bookeeping that it should.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[DDP]: Convert to new protocol interface.
Convert ddp to the new protocol interface which means it has to
handle fragmented skb's. The only big change is in the checksum
routine which has to do more work (like skb_checksum).
Minor speedup is folding the carry to avoid a branch.
Tested against a 2.4 system and by running both code over
a range of packets.

[netdrvr 3c509] dev->name removal build fix
<purna@jcom.home.ne.jp>
[netdrvr] fix skb_padto bugs introduced when skb_padto was introduced
It seems that skb_padto security fixes in 2.4 and 2.5 trying
to fix "CAN-2003-0001:Multiple ethernet NID device drivers
do not pad frames with null bytes", do not put the skb_padto
blocks in proper places in the 3c527, eth16i, fmv18x, seeq8005,
yellowfin device drivers.
In case a driver calls skb_padto(), it is possible
that the space available in the original skb buffer tailroom is less
than the space to pad. In this case, in short, the skb_padto()
will create a new skb buffer, copy data from the original
skb buffer to a new skb buffer, free the original buffer,
and finally return the new buffer.
If this happens to the aforementioned device drivers, they come to
point to wrong data. And, for 3c527 and yellowfin, the drivers can
unexpectedly double free the original skb buffers since they still
point to the original skb buffers. The attached patch against
2.4.23pre1 fixes these issues.

[PATCH] Fix module ref counting for md.
We don't need to explicitly count references as:
- refcounting already happens for opens of /dev/md?

[PATCH] Set max_sectors for raid0 only, not for all raid levels.
raid1 and multipath have not concept of a chunksize, so basing

Similary 'linear' has a very different concept of chunksize and
max_sectors doesn't apply.
raid5 does have relevant chunk_size concept, but it has code to
effectively handle any chunksize.
So we only need to set max_sectors based on chunk_size in raid0.

[PATCH] dev_t handling cleanups (6/12)
- hpfs_unlink() should not try to truncate the victim unless it's a

- network filesystems should *not* invalidate page cache of block
device node when inode gets invalidated; fixed, added a new helper -
invalidate_remote_inode().
- nfs setattr syncs the file before sending SETATTR to server; that
makes a lot of sense for regular files, but not for anything else.
Fixed.

[PATCH] dev_t handling cleanups (11/12)

[PATCH] dev_t handling cleanups (12/12)
added the exclusion between ADD_PARTITION/DELETE_PARTITION/open() (BLKPG
ioctls didn't grab ->bd_sem when they should have).
added bdev->bd_part; it is set at open() to point to the hd_struct of
partition in question, reset on final close.
blk_partition_remap() uses ->bd_part instead of the current mess
->bd_offset is gone, we use ->bd_part->start_sect instead
added missing ->release() to hd_struct kobject, moved kfree() into it
->bd_part cotributes to refcount of hd_struct - we bump it when
->bd_part is set and drop when it's reset.

[PATCH] Give v850 its own version of the vmlinux.lds.h RODATA macro
While it would be nice to keep using the generic version of RODATA, the
v850's linker-script structure is sufficiently different from that of
typical archs that it's not possible to use RODATA as it's currently
defined. I earlier suggested splitting the generic definition of RODATA
into `RODATA_CONTENTS' and `RODATA' (a wrapper around RODATA_CONTENTS)
where most archs would use RODATA, and the v850 would use
RODATA_CONTENTS, however Kai didn't like that idea.
It _may_ be possible to rewrite the v850's linker scripts into something
more typical (using lots of individual output sections), but it doesn't
seem at all straightforward, so I don't have the time to do it right
now.
Anyway, this is the short-term work-around so that Linus's kernel works
on the v850.

[PATCH] random: SMP locking
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
This patch adds locking for SMP. Apparently Willy never managed to
revive his laptop with his version so I revived mine.
The batch pool is copied as a block to avoid long lock hold times
while mixing it into the primary pool.
Two locks are added:
gobal batch_lock
batch_entropy_store can be called from any context, and typically from
interrupts -> spin_lock_irqsave
batch_entropy_process is called called via schedule_delayed_work and
runs in process context -> spin_lock_irq
entropy_store.lock
the mixing process is too expensive to be called from an interrupt
context and the basic worker function extract_entropy can sleep, so
all this stuff can be under a normal spin_lock
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] random: accounting and sleeping fixes
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
This fixes several calculation errors and races in entropy accounting
that would allow /dev/random output to greatly exceed the measured

hardening, it just makes it behave as intended.
It also corrects the operation of the 'catastrophic reseeding' feature
so that it will actually prevent the state extension attack it's meant
to guard against.
And finally, it also fixes a couple missed wake-up and accidental
sleep bugs uncovered by the above fixes.
Debug instrumentation has been improved to help verify correctness.

[PATCH] disable prefetch on athlons
K7's (at least) are faulting in the prefetch instruction. The AMD

So hum. The usual manifestation is an oops in hlist_for_each(), down in
the VFS inode lookup code. Disrupting our testers in this way is very bad,
so this patch just disables prefetch on all AMD parts in a rather stupid
way.

[PATCH] fix /proc/pid/fd ownership across setuid()
From: "B. D. Elliott" <bde@nwlink.com>
There's a bug:
- Someone reads a (say) root-owned process's /proc/pid/fd directory
The inodes are instantiated owned by root.
- That process does a setuid
- The /proc/pid/* files still have the old ownerships.
This happened because we are now caching the proc entries.
The patch rewrites the ownership of the inodes under /proc/pid in the
d_revalidate() handler.

[PATCH] Call security hook from pid*_revalidate
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
This patch against 2.6.0-test3-mm3 adds calls to the security_task_to_inode

is also updated appropriately for /proc/pid inodes. This corresponds with
the uid/gid update performed by the proc-pid-setuid-ownership-fix.patch that
is already in -mm3.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] move DAC960 GAM IOCTLs into a new device
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
The DAC960 driver uses an ugly overloading of the O_NONBLOCK flag to
support the controller's RAID configuration features.
Opening "/dev/rd/c0d0" with the O_NONBLOCK flag set returns a file
descriptor that can be used to do RAID control operations using ioctl().
The normal ioctl operations are not availabe with that file descriptor.
This patch removes that O_NONBLOCK overloading from DAC960_open() and
DAC960_ioctl() functions. It introduces a new "miscellaneous" device
named /dev/dac960_gam. It uses minor device number 252 of the miscellaneous
character devices.
The currently distrubted "Global Array Manager" server distrubted by
LSIlogic on their web page page works only on RH7.3 or earlier. It doesn't
work under RH9. There are probably some library incompatabilities.
So, I don't view this patch as breaking anything that currently works.
If this software package is ever brought up to date (which I doubt),
then it can be modified to use this new device at that time.

[PATCH] Add 3GB personality
From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
Another a bit ugly but necessary patch for 32bit emulation.
Some applications including some versions of java break when the stack is

that moves the stack to 3GB and fixes the beginning of the mmap area. It's
a bit ugly, but better than not running these applications at all (e.g.
the Oracle installer depends on such a buggy java :-(). It's also not only
Java, but some other programs as well.

[PATCH] zeromap_pmd_range bugfix
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
The patch below fixes a 2.6 mm problem. Without this patch, zeromapped
pages are not flushed properly when they are swapped out.
What happens is that the page->index field is zero for page table pages
corresponding to the zeromapped range. This causes ptep_to_address() to
return an incorrect virtual address with the result that PTEs are never
invalidated at swap-out...
The fix below mirrors the remap_pmd_range() case.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] don't report async write errors on close() after all
I had second thoughts on this.
Reporting background writeout errors via close() only really makes sense if
allthe IO has completed anyway: ie, the app has had the fd open without
writing to it for many tens of seconds.
It would be OK if it was harmless, but it is not. Changes are, applications
ignore errors from close(). So if an application does a fork/exit and the
child correctly does an fsync() of the fd, the close-on-exit will have wiped
out any accumulated EIO/ENOSPC errors.
Or if someone does dup()/close()/fsync(), the fsync() could fail to detect
earlier errors, thanks to the close.
So. The clear-and-report of errors on close() makes the reporting of errors
on fsync/msync/fdatasync less reliable.

[PATCH] zoran: add release callback

as described in http://lwn.net/Articles/36850/. Without this, the driver
will give a warning when loaded. It might crash when unloading (see
article), too. The video4linux patch (by Gerd Knorr) was accepted a week

[PATCH] zoran: correct name field breakage
From: Ronald Bultje <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net>
I suddenly noticed that 2.6.0-test4 seems to have removed the struct
device->name field, apparently for memory consumption reasons. Linus
changed this to pci_name((zr)->pci_dev) in my driver, and that's almost
correct, except that it is the PCI device ID, and I'm not supposed to
touch it. Also, since it's only 4 bytes, all my device names now show
like 'DC1' (this should be 'DC10plus') and alike.
The attached patch fixes this by going back to the behaviour that we
used in 2.4.x: we use a separate name field in our private driver
struct.

[PATCH] Use tgid rather than pid in dnotify
From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
I'm not entirely sure about this change. But it seems to be necessary.
The dnotify code stores the PID in the file structure. The entire process
shares the file and any signal (is it used for that?) should be sent to the
process (thread group), not the individual thread. Also keep in mind that
threads can go away while the process (and therefore file descriptor)
remain. And the ID of the thread can be reused.
Somebody who knows this code should take a good look.
(Looks right to me...)

[PATCH] make voyager work again after the cpumask_t changes
From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
Most is just simple fixes; however, the needless change from atomic to

pain to track down since it introduced some very subtle bugs.
I've also taken phys_cpu_present_map out of smp.h. Since it
physid_mask_t is defined in mpspec.h anyway, and contains a duplicate
definition, I don't believe it can hurt anything.

[PATCH] compat ioctl_table fix
The arch ioctl tables are doing this:
struct foo ioctl_start[] = {

struct foo ioctl_end[0];
and fs/compat.c expects that the table lies between &ioctl_end and
&ioctl_start.
Problem is, gcc-3.3 puts ioctl_end into bss, even if it is initialised. It
doesn't work.
So we do away with the ioctl_end thing and add
int ioctl_table_length = ARRAY_SIZE(ioctl_start);
to each architecture.

[PATCH] raw driver oops fix
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
The raw.c character device Oopses dereferencing a NULL pointer in
bd_claim() This problem occurred after bd_claim() in block_dev.c was
modified to "claim the whole device when a partition is claimed".
raw_open() made the mistake of calling bd_claim BEFORE calling blkdev_get().
At that time, the bdev->bd_contains field has not yet been initialized.
Switching the order allows blkdev_get() to initialize those fields before
calling bd_claim().
Also fixed up some error return paths:
igrab() should never fail under these circumstances since the caller
already has a reference to that inode through the bdev at that time.
In the event of blkdev_get() failure or set_blocksize() failure, not all
the work to unwind from the error was done.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] ipc_init() uses vmalloc too early
From: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de>
aka: "vmalloc allocations in ipc needs smp initialized (and vm must be
allowed to schedule in 2.6)"
In short if you change SEMMNI to 8192 the kernel will crash at boot, beause
it tries to call vmalloc before the smp is initialized. The reason is that
vmalloc calls into the pte alloc code, and the fast pte alloc is tried
first, but that reads into the pte_quicklist, that requires the cpu_data to
be initialized (and that happens in smp_init()).
the patch is obviously safe, since no piece of kernel (especially the code
in the check_bugs and smp_init paths ;) calls into the ipc subsystem.
The reason this started to trigger wasn't really that we increased SEMMNI,
but what happend is that some IPC data structure grown, and for some reason
the corruption due the uninitalized pte_quicklist triggers only for smp
boxes with less than 1G (not very common anymore ;). So it wasn't
immediatly reproducible on all setups.
2.6 doesn't suffer from the same problem, simply because 2.6 isn't using
the quicklist anymore, but I think it would be much more correct to make
the same change in 2.6 too, since whatever cond_resched() in the vm paths
(and they're definitely allowed to call it), will lead to a crash since the
init task isn't initialized and the scheduler can't be invoked yet. (and
2.6 already has the bigger data structures that should trigger the vmalloc
all the time on all setups)

[PATCH] vmscan: zone pressure calculation fix
Off-by-one in balance_pgdat(): `priority' can never go negative. It causes
the scanning priority thresholds to be quite wrong and kswapd tends to go
berzerk when there is a lot of mapped memory around.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] vmscan: zone pressure simplification and fix
The zone->pressure field is supposed to record the amount of reclaim pressure
which this zone is under. We need this info so we know whether to unmap
pages from pagetables right from the outset of a balance_pgdat() or
try_to_free_pages() invokation.
The problem with the current code is that the exponential average gets tugged
around too much: as we perform the increasing-priority scan, the pressure
metric is made artificially low by the early part of the scan.
So instead what we do here is to record within the zone the scanning priority
from the zone's previous scan. It is defined as the priority at which the
zone achieved the "enough pages free" state. This prev_priority is used on
the next scan for the do-we-need-to-be-unmapping-pages decision.

[PATCH] HPET 1/6: Support for HPET based timer
From: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>
High Precision Event Timer (HPET) is next generation timer
hardware and has various advantages over legacy 8254
(PIT) timer, like:
- Associated registers are mapped to memory space. So, we no
longer require in and out on legacy ioports
- Memory map address is reported by ACPI (and are not
hard-coded)
- Each timer can be configured to generate separate interrupts,
even sharing lines with PCI devices
- HPET has a minimum period of 100 nanosecs and is not fixed.
Giving a flexibility of increasing the resolution in future.
- Most current implementations has 3 counters, but in future,
we can have as many as 32 timers per block, and 8
HPET timer blocks (total 256 timers)
- Can support 32bit and 64bit counting
(Refer to http://www.intel.com/labs/platcomp/hpet/hpetspec.htm
for complete specs)
The patchset that follow adds support for High Precision Event
Timer (HPET) based timer in kernel. This uses the HPET in
LegacyReplacement mode (so that counter 0 will be tied to IRQ0,
and counter 1 will be tied to IRQ 8). In this mode, HPET overrides
PIT and RTC interrupt lines. The patch will enable HPET by default,
on systems where ACPI tables reports this feature. The patch will
have no impact on systems that do not support this feature.
A major change from previous version is elimination of fixmap for HPET.
Based on Andrew Morton's suggestion, we have a new hook in init/main.c for
late_time_init(), at which time we can use ioremap, in place of fixmap.
Impact on other archs: Calibrate_delay() (and hence loops_per_jiffy
calculation) has moved down in main.c, from after time_init() to after
kmem_cache_init().
1/6 - hpet1.patch - main.c change to introduce late_time_init()

<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] scsi_unregister() oops fix
Some drivers such as aha1542 and aic7xxx_old will call scsi_register() and
then, if some succeeding operations fails they will call scsi_unregister(),
without an intervening scsi_set_host().
This causes an oops in scsi_put_device(), because kobj->parent is NULL.
In other words, scsi_register() immediately followed by scsi_unregister()
is guaranteed to oops.
The patch makes scsi_host_dev_release() more robust against this usage
pattern.

[PATCH] tty oops fix
Ancient bug, reported by Hiroshi Inoue <inoueh@uranus.dti.ne.jp>:
1. login to tty2 (not tty1)
2. start kon (Kanji cONsole emulator, console which support
Japanese characters)
3. exit kon
4. logout
It oopses in the debugging function check_tty_count(), walking a list_head
which has been list_del()'d. Call trace is:
#0 check_tty_count (tty=0x10d42000, routine=0xc817b00 ".paths") at include/asm/processor.h:583
#1 0x022c6c00 in do_tty_hangup (data=0x10d42000) at drivers/char/tty_io.c:426
#2 0x022c6f60 in tty_vhangup (tty=0xc817b00) at drivers/char/tty_io.c:536
#3 0x022c6fcc in disassociate_ctty (on_exit=1) at drivers/char/tty_io.c:574
#4 0x02127aee in do_exit (code=0) at kernel/exit.c:718
#5 0x02127caa in do_group_exit (exit_code=0) at kernel/exit.c:796
#6 0x02127cbc in sys_exit_group (error_code=0) at kernel/exit.c:807
The tty refcount is zero, so everything seems consistent and sensible. The
fix just uses list_del_init() on that list_head.
Heaven knows what the locking for tty->count is though. Some bizarre mixture
of BKL, tty_sem and nothing at all.

[PATCH] sr.c should issue TEST_UNIT_READY
The linux/drivers/scsi/sr.c code will issue a MODE_SENSE[_10] command to
a device as the first command sent to the device. If the device has
just come out of reset, it will likely respond with a UNIT_ATTENTION /
NOT_READY status, which causes the MODE_SENSE to fail. In fact, the
device may have several UNIT_ATTENTION conditions queued up (power-up
reset, media change, etc.)
This results in the mode page 0x2a data not being properly read and
interpreted. As an end-effect, things like packet-writing don't work
(because the writeable bit is not set).
The solution to this is to issue one or more TEST_UNIT_READY commands to
the device to clear any pending UNIT_ATTENTION conditions. This is the
technique used by sd.c -- in fact, this code was lifted directly from
sd.c
At some point in the future, abstraction of this initial TEST_UNIT_READY
code between all high-level SCSI drivers may be apropriate. For now,
this patch makes sr.c issue TEST_UNIT_READY to clear the UNIT_ATTENTION,
thus allowing the mode page 0x2a code to work properly. Given the
approaching 2.6.0-final release, I urge that this patch be accepted.

Be a lot more careful about TS_USEDFPU and preemption
We had some races where we testecd (or set) TS_USEDFPU together
with sequences that depended on the setting (like clearing or
setting the TS flag in %cr0) and we could be preempted in between,
which screws up the FPU state, since preemption will itself change
USEDFPU and the TS flag.
This makes it a lot more explicit: the "internal" low-level FPU
functions ("__xxxx_fpu()") all require preemption to be disabled,
and the exported "real" functions will make sure that is the case.
One case - in __switch_to() - was switched to the non-preempt-safe
internal version, since the scheduler itself has already disabled
preemption.

[PATCH] USB: storage: cbw/csw trace in order
Via this patch ...
We change only when CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG=y.
To /proc/kmsg etc. we now trace the fields of
the cbw as we order those fields in ram and as
we order those fields in time on the bus, to
avoid disorientating those of us who view those
canonical orders often.
Also we no longer print "S" or "Sig" to
"Signature", instead we always print "S". We
chose "S" over "Sig" because it is the "T"
signature (aka "Tag") that actually makes each
cbw/csw pair distinct, whereas the so-called
Signatures only distinguish cbw from csw by
flipping one bit.
Also in the trace we uppercase a 'C' and an 'S'
to keep cbw from csw typographically distinct.
For example, what was:
<7>usb-storage: Command INQUIRY (6 bytes)
<7>usb-storage: 12 00 00 00 24 00

[PATCH] USB: storage: Revised update to isd200 I/O buffer patch
This is a minor revision to the previous patch as83. It changes the name
of the various struct hd_driveid variables from 'drive' to 'id', per
Andries Brouwer's request.
- Don't do DMA into the middle of a structure (info->drive).
- Don't use I/O buffers for two different purposes simultaneously
(info->ATARegs, regs, us->iobuf).
- Rename info->drive to info->id.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: net2280 one-liner
Please merge this minor fix:
- loosen constraints on buffer allocation
This is needed before Alan's file-backed storage
gadget driver will initialize using net2280.

[PATCH] USB: usb hcd states
AFAICT this is ready for your next merge with Linus.
Ben's ohci stuff was not cooked yet, seemed like the
pm stuff wasn't yet supporting the hook(s) he needed.
RMK had similar issues w.r.t. PM on ARM too.
This patch includes:
- updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt to make usbcore
behave a bit better during PM suspend (setting and
checking hcd state).
- related updates from me, making more paths into hcds
fail when the driver is suspended.
- updates based on some feedback from Alan Stern,
notably including getting rid of a state we don't
really need (most of the patch, by volume).
- an experiment that tries to give a warning in the
sadly common case of ACPI or APIC (etc) settings
that need to change before USB works.
Net effect is that some of the PM issues start to get
resolved, maybe IRQ problems will be diagnosed quicker,
and some overdue cleanup gets started.

[PATCH] USB: fix uhci "host controller process error"
By the way, let me explain what the problem was with uhci-hcd. The usb
hardware directly accesses your computers memory. The bug is that it
could still be accessing a bit of memory after uhci-hcd thought it had
finished with it and freed up the memory. This bug has always existed,
and I guess led to occasional mysterious data corruption, when some
other part of the kernel started using that bit of memory while the usb
hardware was still playing with it. You turned on the "slab debugging"
option, right? With this turned on, when uhci-hcd frees the memory it
gets filled with some garbage values. The usb hardware reads this
garbage and barfs, giving a "process error". In short, you can also
get rid of the process error messages by turning off slab debugging,
then the data corruption will be silent again!

PPC32: Add support for the PPC 440 family of embedded processors.
This has three main parts: (1) support for the 440GP and 440GX processors,
(2) support for the "Ebony" and "Ocotea" reference boards for those processors,
and (3) support for 64-bit physical addresses. The 440GP and 440GX are "Book E"
processors, and this introduces a CONFIG_BOOKE and some definitions that apply
to all Book E processors.
Having 64-bit physical addresses means that PTEs are now 64 bits. The PTE pages
stay at 4kB, and the pgdir expands to 8kB.

vulnerable to DoS attacks. So delay the creation of an ssnmap if we

From Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>:
This adds the Kconfig option for the PowerMac IDE driver "LED" feature

[netdrvr de4x5] big modernization / cleanup
The enclosed patch tries to clean the tulip de4x5 driver, and update
it to some of the 2.6 APIs :
- Use PCI and EISA probing APIs
- Use generic DMA API
- Fix DE425 init on the Jensen
- Remove de4x5 from Space.c
It's been tested on x86 and Alpha, with a DE425 (21040, EISA), a DE435
(21040, PCI) and a quad DLink (4*21143, PCI).
The major problem with this patch is that, because of the Space.c
removal, interfaces get potentially renumbered. This has been
discussed to death on lkml, without any obvious solution. IMHO, we'd
better remove as many drivers as we can from Space.c before
2.6.0-final ships...

[ATM]: Lanai driver updates.
o Big performance improvement. The version of the driver in the kernel
still had a "mdelay(1)" after every register write. This capped
performance at about 8Mbps and ate tons of CPU time. (Luckily, most
users of this card are just terminating a DSL line where its not too
noticeable)
However, after removing this delay the card started getting out of
sync with the driver under stress tests. After a couple days of chasing
the bug I finally determine that the card's support for transmitting
partial PDUs just doesn't quite work as advertised (before we would send
a partial PDU to completely fill a VCC's transmit buffer and then send
the rest of the skb when more buffer space filled up). The usefulness of
this is somewhat doubtful anyway and removing it cleaned up a lot of code.
I also added some memory barriers to make sure operations to the card
happen in the correct order.
Now for the first time ever we get near line-rate performance out of this
card (~19Mb/s TCP in netperf between two ~300Mhz machines)
o Locking changes (essentially the patch Chas sent me a couple weeks ago
with some minor tweaking) I'm still not sure we're getting 100% of the
cases right but it's definitely FAR better than the old lock-less version.
o Cleanup the backlog draining code in lanai_shutdown_tx_vci()
o Remove outdated comment describing how to compile the module
o Got rid of the "service_novcc_[tr]x" stats - it's really the same error
as "service_[tr]x" - there's no reason to count them separately.
o Use the ATM_25_PCR constant instead of computing it for ourselves

[NET]: DLCI driver cleanups for 2.6.x
- keep list of arrays for devices and use a lock
- make sure header is contiguous before overlaying data structure
- dynamically allocate dev->priv with alloc_netdev
- get rid of MOD_INC/DEC
- free devices on module unload
- keep refcount on slave device's since holding a ptr
<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
[NET]: Use free_netdev() even in error paths.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Add probe_old_netdevs() hook.
This set of patches is a mixture of Al's work to device initialization,
and some of my own to complete it for all the ether, tr, sbni, and loopback
devices.
The first patch adds the hook for converting old driver initialization
code over to dynamic allocation.
This part extracted from Al viro's set of net driver changes for ethertap.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Convert SDLA to new initialization.
Based on Al viro's NE10-sdla
* switched sdla to dynamic allocation
* sdla: embedded ->priv
* sdla: fixed resource leaks on failure exits
Additionally fixes.
* get rid of cli/sti
* get rid of MOD/INC
Builds and probes, but don't have the hardware.
Driver has never built on 2.6 before this.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Convert cops over to new initialization.
More from Al
NE12-cops
* switched cops to dynamic allocation
* cops: embedded ->priv
* cops: fixed ->irq clobbering on autoprobe
Added
* free_netdev
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Convert ether probes to probe_old_netdevs().
Convert old ethernet device probing from dev_base linked list
to the probe_old_netdevs.
Blame me for this one ;-)
Builds and runs, but don't have old ISA hardware to really test it.
So please find some or review it carefully.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Convert tr probes to probe_old_netdevs().
Analogous to previous patch. Instead of dev_base list of static
entries, use a loop and dynamically allocate devices.
Tested only the 'no hardware' case.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Convert sbni initialization.
Convert sbni driver
- new probing
- single allocation using alloc_netdev for private data
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Loopback device simplification.
Now that all the magic chain of static devices is gone from Space.c
The initialization of the one remaining static device (ie the loopback driver)
can be simplified.
One small change was to reduce possibility of failing the initialization if
allocation of private data failed by just going without statistics.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[NET]: Convert ltpc to new initialization.
Originally from Al Viro
NE11-ltpc
* switched ltpc to dynamic allocation
* ltpc: embedded ->priv
* ltpc: fixed bugs in DMA allocation
* ltpc: fixed resource leaks on failure exits
* ltpc: fixed part of timer bugs (still a-f**ing-plenty of those)
* ltpc: fixed order of freeing bugs
Added
* switch to free_netdev

[PATCH] Fix odd code in bio_add_page
From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
With the current code in bio_add_page, if fail_segments is ever set, it

[PATCH] Fix rtc symbol clash and HPET config problems
The new HPET RTC emulation code uses a function in rtc.c, get_rtc_time().
So that function was made non-static. Problem is, the same function name is
used elsewhere by some architectures, so there will be linkage problems.
And rtc_get_time() is used too, so I renamed it to rtc_get_rtc_time().
Also, the HPET code was setting CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC by hand in a header
file. Fix it to use the Kconfig system properly.

[PATCH] might_sleep() improvements
From: Mitchell Blank Jr <mitch@sfgoth.com>
This patch makes the following improvements to might_sleep():
o Add a "might_sleep_if()" macro for when we might sleep only if some
condition is met. It's a bit tidier, and has an unlikely() in it.
o Add might_sleep checks to skb_share_check() and skb_unshare() which
sometimes need to allocate memory.
o Make all architectures call might_sleep() in both down() and
down_interruptible(). Before only ppc, ppc64, and i386 did this check.
(sh did the check on down() but not down_interruptible())

[PATCH] Remove percpufication of in_flight counter in
From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com>
The routine disk_round_stats showed up considerably under oprofile for high
disk io load (four processes doing dd to the same disk (different
partitions) on a 4 way).
This is because the counter in_flight which is per-cpu right now gets read
every time disk_round_stats gets called. Per cpu counters like disk
statistics improve write speed, but reads are slow (since all cpus' local
counter values have to be read and summed up). Considering the fact that
in_flight counter is modified post disk_round_stats (which reads the
in_flight counter) it is better not to per-cpu this counter.
Following patch does just that. Below is the profile comparison before and
after the change. This was on a 4 way PIII Xeon, 1G ram, 2.6.0-test4-mm2.

[PATCH] Enable SELinux via boot parameter
From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
This patch adds an 'selinux' boot parameter which must be used to actually
enable SELinux.
It follows some internal discussion about deployment issues, where a vendor
would want to ship a single kernel image with SELinux built-in, without
requiring the user to use it.
Without specifying selinux=1 as a boot parameter, SELinux will not register
with LSM and selinuxfs will not be registered as a filesystem. This causes
SELinux to be bypassed entirely from then on, and no performance overhead
is imposed. Other security modules may then also be loaded if needed.

[PATCH] i8042 free_irq() aliasing fix
The same address `i8042_request_irq_cookie' is used in three places for the
i8042 request_irq() argument. This means that if someone calls
i8042_check_mux() or i8042_check_aux() while the IRQ is in use, the
free_irq() call in there will free the wrong IRQ handler.
So give all three instances of request_irq() in i8042.c a distinct address by
which to identify the IRQ instance.
(This is probably a non-bug, because the `check' functions are not called
when the device is open, but it is better this way).

[PATCH] fix remap of shared read only mappings
When mmap MAP_SHARED is done on a file, it gets marked with VM_MAYSHARE
and, if it's read/write, VM_SHARED. However, if it is remapped with
mremap(), the MAP_SHARED is only passed into the new mapping based on
VM_SHARED. This means that remapped read only MAP_SHARED mappings lose
VM_MAYSHARE. This is causing us a problem on parisc because we have to
align all shared mappings carefully to mitigate cache aliasing problems.
The fix is to key passing the MAP_SHARED flag back into the remapped are
off VM_MAYSHARE not VM_SHARED.

[PATCH] USB: usb "gadgetfs" (1/2)
This is another "gadget" driver -- one that lets user mode
code implement usb device functions, with all the classic
advantages of such solutions. There's an example driver
at the linux-usb "gadget" web page, which uses pthreads
and handles several control requests in user mode.
This capability is packaged in the form of a filesystem,
conventionally mounted at /dev/gadget, with files that the
user mode driver opens, configures, and then uses with
normal read() and write() system calls. Because this
doesn't require use of ioctl(), such user mode drivers
can be written in almost any language: not just C, but
also Java, Python, Perl, and others -- likely even BASH.
For now, such user mode gadget drivers are limited to a
single configuration, although the interfaces in that
configuration could support multiple altsettings when
the hardware allows.
Please merge. This first patch provides the driver,
the next one adds kconfig and kbuild support.

[PATCH] Unpinned futexes v2: indexing changes
This changes the way futexes are indexed, so that they don't pin pages.
It also fixes some bugs with private mappings and COW pages.
Currently, all futexes look up the page at the userspace address and pin
it, using the pair (page,offset) as an index into a table of waiting
futexes. Any page with a futex waiting on it remains pinned in RAM,
which is a problem when many futexes are used, especially with FUTEX_FD.
Another problem is that the page is not always the correct one, if it
can be changed later by a COW (copy on write) operation. This can
happen when waiting on a futex without writing to it after fork(),
exec() or mmap(), if the page is then written to before attempting to
wake a futex at the same adress.
There are two symptoms of the COW problem:
- The wrong process can receive wakeups
- A process can fail to receive required wakeups.
This patch fixes both by changing the indexing so that VM_SHARED
mappings use the triple (inode,offset,index), and private mappings use
the pair (mm,virtual_address).
The former correctly handles all shared mappings, including tmpfs and
therefore all kinds of shared memory (IPC shm, /dev/shm and
MAP_ANON|MAP_SHARED). This works because every mapping which is
VM_SHARED has an associated non-zero vma->vm_file, and hence inode.
(This is ensured in do_mmap_pgoff, where it calls shmem_zero_setup).
The latter handles all private mappings, both files and anonymous. It
isn't affected by COW, because it doesn't care about the actual pages,
just the virtual address.
The patch has a few bonuses:
1. It removes the vcache implementation, as only futexes were
using it, and they don't any more.
2. Removing the vcache should make COW page faults a bit faster.
3. Futex operations no longer take the page table lock, walk
the page table, fault in pages that aren't mapped in the
page table, or do a vcache hash lookup - they are mostly a
simple offset calculation with one hash for the futex
table. So they should be noticably faster.
Special thanks to Hugh Dickins, Andrew Morton and Rusty Russell for
insightful feedback. All suggestions are included.

beginning of fs side work:

* old_valid_dev() checks if dev_t value is OK for old filesystems
(i.e. both major and minor are below 256).
* old_valid_dev() calls are added in ->mknod() instances that care
about dev_t values (disk-backed and network ones).
* old_encode_dev() and old_decode_dev() convert dev_t -> u16
and u16 -> dev_t resp; currently these are no-ops, places that use current
formar (minor in bits 0--7, major in bits 8--15) will switch to these before
we widen dev_t.

[PATCH] large dev_t - second series (10/15)
Fix for endianness bug in UDF: it writes major and minor as 32bit
host-endian and reads them as 32bit little-endian; obviously a bad idea

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] large dev_t - second series (11/15)
Fix for JFS handling of device nodes; it has 32bit on-disk device
numbers, shoves them into 16bit (->i_rdev) when inode is read and writes
them back truncated when inode is written to disk. For now (and 2.4 will
have to do the same permanently) we store the original value in private
part of inode and use it instead of ->i_rdev in ->write_inode(); mknod()
sets it at the same time as ->i_rdev. It will become unnecessary when
dev_t becomes wider than 16 bits, but for now we need it.
<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] large dev_t - second series (12/15)
Similar fix for UFS; touching device node (and they have 32bit
dev_t) ends up killing upper 16 bits, which makes for very unhappy
*BSD, since that turns /dev/ad0s1 into alias of /dev/ad0. Again, for
now we store on-disk value in private part of inode and use it instead
of ->i_rdev in ->write_inode().

This patch fixes a race condition between the pcmcia socket initial

resetting itself, and it therefore tried to read the CIS while it
was unavailable.
We change the meaning of SOCKET_PRESENT slightly - it now means that
a card is present _and we have completed its initialisation_. We
introduce SOCKET_INUSE to indicate that we have a reference count
against the module.
We also take the skt_sem to prevent clients from registering while
we're handling an insert/remove/suspend/resume.

[PATCH] Fix futex hashing bugs
This fixes two buts that the glibc NPTL verification tests found, one
new and one old.
The new bug is that "offset" has been declared as an alternative in

effectively eliminating it from the key: keys match which should not.
The old bug is that if futex_requeue were called with identical
key1 and key2 (sensible? tended to happen given the first bug),
it was liable to loop for a long time holding futex_lock: guard
against that, still respecting the semantics of futex_requeue.
While here, please let's also fix the get_futex_key VM_NONLINEAR
case, which was returning the 1 from get_user_pages, taken as an
error by its callers. And save a few bytes and improve debuggability
by uninlining the top-level futex_wake, futex_requeue, futex_wait.

[PATCH] Futex-fd error return fix
Hugh Dickins caught this confusion between the ret variable in outer
scope (holding the fd) and the return value of f_setown. Rename inner
"ret".

[PATCH] dmasound core fixes
Dmasound core fixes from Christoph Hellwig:

[PATCH] more keyboard stuff
I looked a bit more at the keyboard code and find a bug
and a probable bug.
(i) In case a synaptics touchpad has been detected, the comment says
"disable AUX". But we do not set the disable bit, but instead .and.
with the bit - no doubt getting zero. This must be a bug.
(ii) Directly above this is the suspicious comment "keyboard translation
seems to be always off". But every machine comes always up in
translated scancode 2. Translation is never off. But wait! by
mistake the above .and. cleared the XLATE bit.
So, I think bug (i) explains mystery (ii).
However, note that this is code reading only. I do not have the
hardware, so cannot test.

[PATCH] use size_t for the broken ioctl numbers
The ioctl number-generating macros should be used like
#define XXXX _IOR(n,x,type-of-arg)
which generates an ioctl number that has the size of the argument
encoded within it. But there are a number of ioctl #defines that look
like
#define XXXX _IOR(n,x,sizeof(type-of-arg))
which is very wrong: the _IO/_IOR/_IOW/_IOWR macros will do the sizeof()
on the argtype themselves, so the end result is that we will be doing a
sizeof(sizeof(argtype)), ie a sizeof(size_t).
In other words, the argtype didn't matter at all, and ended up totally
pointless.
Clearly it's too late to change the ioctl definitions, but we can at
least stop people from copying them and making the same mistake.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Fix PCMCIA typo (extra 'R') that broke the compile.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Fix over-eager ioctl number fix. _IOC() does want the sizeof().
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Undo static on ide_probe_for_pdc4030: it can (and will) be called
from the IDE init code when compiled-in.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Mark drivers that can't be built stand-alone in the configuration
files.

[PATCH] next fixes
here are the next fixes, sorry for the delay, but one of bugs was a really
odd one.
Note:
- here are lot of bugs left, so ISDN is not stable yet but
I think it's really time to fix it, even if it need some cycles
to get it right (normally I'm only send patches if it works 100% for
me).
- I add some additional #warnings to address places which need fixing
(I hope that some of the other ISDN developer jump in)

[PATCH] Fixes to allow ARM to build in the standard tree
In addition to the MODULE_ALIAS_LDISC patch, the following changes to
generic code are needed to allow ARM to build in Linus' tree.
The first is to add PT_SINGLESTEP to ptrace.h so we do the right thing
when adding/removing breakpoint instructions into processes (see
arch/arm/kernel/{signal.c,ptrace.c} for usage.)
The second is needed because pmd_clear() needs to flush the pmd.
However, we can't include tlbflush.h into pgtable.h without causing
a circular dependency (tlbflush.h needs vm_area_struct and mm_struct
which are in mm.h, which needs pgtable.h.) swapfile.c seems to be the
only file affected.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Fix various scripts to be marked executable.

[PATCH] arm26 updates
Not much to write home about. mostly tidying, some debug, and XIP support.
just keeping arm26 up to date really.
<ak@muc.de>
[PATCH] x86-64 update
Nothing too exciting, just some minor new features and bug fixes.
The IOMMU code should now not BUG again without CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG/iommu=force
- Compiles now with -funit-at-a-time
- Fix up ioctl 32bit tables following Andrew's change.
- Fix __SI_POLL siginfo_t passing to user space
- Add 32bit emulation for fadvise64_64
- Remove unneeded sys32_utimes
- Various merges with i386 (ACPI, APIC etc.)
- Port cpuid patching infrastructure from i386
- Use it to provide better copy_*_user/memcpy/memset/clear/copy_page for
C stepping K8. String instructions are faster now that unrolled loops.
- Don't try to merge unforced PCI mappings that don't exceed the device's
DMA mask.
- Discard .exit.data/.exit.text at runtime like i386
- Don't use NTI stores for clear_user
- Convert bitops.h bitmap functions to use unsigned long * pointers instead
of void *
- Fix some warnings in kernel headers.
- Fix PDA comments
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] CONFIG_64BIT
This adds CONFIG_64BIT to allow us to disable non-64-bit safe drivers on
64-bit platforms and converts the I2O driver to use it.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Modules: Be stricter recognizing init&exit sesections
Someone pointed out that -ffunction-sections can cause a function called
"init<something>" to be put in the init section, and discarded. This
hurts PARISC badly. Get more fussy with identifying them.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] modprobe -q: quieter when modules missing
The kernel invokes "modprobe" on modules which might not exist:
rightfully, modprobe complains by default when this happens. So the
correct response is to invoke "modprobe -q", which is silent on such
errors (but still reports other errors such as config errors).
Also, use MODULE_NAME_LEN from module.h instead of inventing our own.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Fix more ioctl _IOR/_IOW misusage.
<arnd@arndb.de>
[PATCH] Verify proper usage of ioctl macros
This new version works with all compiler versions, and also catches the
case where somebody tries to pass in an array as an argument to the
ioctl macros. Thus we verify that only proper types are used.
I have checked now that the object code for arch/s390/kernel/compat_ioctl.o
remains identical and that the whole kernel compiles for s390 and i386,
after fixing the broken ioctl numbers.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Arnd's new-and-improved _IOx() argument checking showed two sound
drivers whose microcode load ioctl's used types with sizes that
overflow the ioctl number. Mark them _IOx_BAD() to document the fact.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[PATCH] sdla non-module build fix.
Last round of changes broke sdla build if not a module.
<axboe@suse.de>
[PATCH] Fix noop elevator request merging
From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
Without this, if elv_try_last_merge() returns nonzero, we do not
initialise *req. That results in a subsequent BUG_ON() in
__make_request() because req is NULL (or is just uninitialised).

[SERIAL] Make SA11x0 serial driver build.
Update the SA11x0 serial driver for the removal of system devices
