Mark the mac floppy controller driver as removable media. This prevents an entry in /proc/partitions. Several tools will not try to access the floppy anymore with this change. Signed-off-by:

Convert ipmi_watchdog to also use module option `nowayout' as is done in other watchdog drivers. From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> The patch is good (same style as other watchdogs), but needs to have some documentation updated. I've tacked that on. Signed-off-by:

I think I understood why some ext2 fs corruption still happens even after the last i_size fix. what happened I believe is that the writepages layer got a not a fully uptodate page (in turn with bh mapped on top of it), and then right before unlocking the page and entering the writeback mode, it freed all the bh. Without bh a not uptodate page will trigger a full readpage from disk, that overwrites the pagecache before the multi-bio gets submitted, generating fs corruption. I believe the below patch should fix it (untested) against kernel CVS. The testcases developed by Kurt showed the pagecache being overwritten with on-disk data at block offsets, and Chris as well was wondering about races between wait_on_page_writeback and readpage. the below fix just explains everything we've seen since not-fully-uptodate pages must have always bh on them and the below patch enforces just that invariant, and it should fix our pagecache-overwritten-by-disk-data problem.

This is fairly self explanatory - ENOIOCTLCMD is an internal code outside of the -1 to -511 range. The correct return for an unknown ioctl is -ENOTTY although some Linux devices return the incorrect -EINVAL result. Patch-By:

From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk> A bunch of small laptop mode updates: * Mention the laptop_mode and block_dump sysctls in the relevant docs, referring to the laptop-mode.txt. Improve description of what the laptop_mode knob means (i.e. seconds between last I/O and automatic sync). * Document the most relevant config file options. * Change the installation instructions in the laptop mode doc to describe the ACPI-bound version first, because this is the easiest. Explain the non-ACPI version afterwards. Added a reference to my "packaged version" of the scripts. * Move the setting of hdparm and cpu frequency out of the ACPI script and into the core laptop mode script. Add config option DO_HD to enable hdparm. Add config setting HD to set device to do hdparm on. Rename Dax's CPU_MANAGE to DO_CPU, with 0/1 instead of yes/no, to improve consistency. * Fix a problem where the root filesystem wouln't be remounted when /etc/mtab listed its type as "unknown". Deduce the type of "unknown" filesystems from /etc/fstab. This depends on the patch that adds config files, which was submitted to Linus by Dax Kelson on July 10. Signed-off-by:

From: Dax Kelson <dax@gurulabs.com> Add support for a external configuration file for /sbin/laptop_mode, and /etc/acpi/actions/battery.sh. Convert battery.sh to use CPUFreq (off by default) instead of CPU throttling (that was off by default). Cleanup some formating for 80 columns. All changes were written by me on a plane flight from Philadelphia to Salt Lake City on July 9th. :) (Note from Bart Samwel: was submitted to Linus earlier, this patch is unchanged from that. I needed to submit this into -mm for now because my other changes are dependent on Dax's changes.) Signed-off-by:

Quite a few functions in lib/string.c are not exported. I ran into this trying to use strnchr() in a module. This patch - exports every function defined in lib/string.c - adds some missing __HAVE_ARCH_xxx defines for i386 - gets rid of the exports of functions from lib/string.c in arch/s390 (BTW, why is s390 exporting things NOVERS?)
