      [PATCH] Bootmem speedup · 0c16b441
      Andi Kleen authored
      This patch speeds the bootmem freeing up a bit. Not particularly important,
      but helps on some slow simulators where the loop can chew up significant
      CPU time.

      [PATCH] Slab name cleanup - last try · 101ed2c8
      Andi Kleen authored
      Hallo Linus,
      
      This is the slab name cleanup you originally requested when the reiserfs
      slab name too long boot bug was introduced. It replaces the static
      name limit for slab cache names with the requirement for the caller
      to supply a stable name. This version addresses all concerns that were given
      over earlier versions of the patch.
      
      As I do not feel very strongly about the slab cache name limit and you
      also do not seem to be interested in it and the original bug of reiserfs
      not booting anymore has been long fixed in your tree with the patch
      you originally rejected from me I will not resend this patch after this
      try.
      
      Patch against 2.5.4pre1.
      
      -Andi

      [PATCH] reiserfs fix for inodes with wrong item versions (2.5) · 9e983e1e
      Hans Reiser authored
         This is hopefully last bugfix for a bug introduced by struct inode splitting.
         Because of setting i_flags to some value and then cleaning the i_flags
         contents later, on-disk items received wrong item version ob v3.6 filesystems

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre1: further llseek cleanup (3/3) · 3ffa0b66
      Robert Love authored
      The previous patch did not provide protection for device lseek methods
      (drivers/* stuff).  This patch pushes the BKL into each of the remaining
      lseek methods -- without them we have a race.
      
      I'd much prefer to have a a better lock to push down than the BKL, but
      that will have to wait.
      
      Before you balk at the size, remember patch #2 in this series which
      removed much code ;-)
      
      Thanks to Al for assistance, especially a listing of affected files.

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre1: further llseek cleanup (2/3) · a0289e82
      Robert Love authored
      This is the second patch of three implementing further llseek cleanups,
      against 2.5.4-pre1.  It does not depend on the other patches.
      
      This patch cleans up various code and quite nicely removes much more
      code than it adds.  Specifically:
      
      - remove static lseek method which merely reimplements
        the standard no_llseek in the following seven files:
        hci_vhci.c, ite8172.c, nec_vrc5477.c, auerswald.c,
        pipe.c, netlink_dev.c, and socket.c
      
      - remove fs/ufs/file.c::ufs_file_lseek -- Al says it is
        reimplementing generic_file_llseek, so let's use that
        instead (the comment about 32-bit sizes shouldn't be
        an issue, the generic method checks size)
      
      - include smp_lock.h in 3 files missed from previous
        'remove bkl' patch
      
      - Documentation/filesystem/Locking update
      
      Please, apply.

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre1: further llseek cleanup (1/3) · 5284a260
      Robert Love authored
      This is the first of three patches implementing further llseek cleanup,
      against 2.5.4-pre1.
      
      The 'push locking into llseek methods' patch was integrated into 2.5.3.
      The networking filesystems, however, do not protect i_size and can not
      rely on the inode semaphore used in generic_file_llseek.
      
      This patch implements a remote_llseek method, which is basically the
      pre-2.5.3 version of generic_file_llseek.  Locking is done via the BKL.
      When we have a saner locking system in place, we can push it into this
      function in lieu.
      
      Ncpfs, nfs, and smbfs have been converted to use this new llseek.
      
      Note this is updated over the previous posted patch.

      Alexander Viro authored
      	added new helpers - vfs_stat(), vfs_lstat() and vfs_fstat().
      	fs/stat.c switched to use them.

      	stat(2) variants in arch/* that used to copy inode fields manually
      	switched to vfs_*stat() and partially cleaned up
      
      	irix_...() switched from sys_new*stat() to vfs_*stat() and cleaned
      	up.  Missing LFS check added.
      
      	similar for solaris ones
      
      	ditto for x86 compatibility ones on ia64.
      
      We are almost ready to switch to ->getattr() - let filesystem decide what
      values should go into ->st_... (e.g. for CODA life would become much
      easier if it could just use ->i_size of caching file, for supermount
      we want ->i_ino inherited from underlying fs, etc.)
      
      Another thing that needs to be done is fixing the rest of LFS/uid size
      fsckups in architecture-specific variants of stat() - I've fixed several,
      but quite a few are still there.

      [PATCH] Third version of signal changes for thread groups · 676952b9
      Dave McCracken authored
      During the course of developing our pthread library (the NGPT pthread
      library) it became clear we needed some kernel support for handling
      signals.  This patch helps the library by redirecting all signals sent
      to tasks in a thread group to the thread group leader.  It also defines
      the tkill() system call so the library can signal a specific task if
      necessary. 
      
      Given that as far as I know NGPT is the only user of thread groups, and
      that this change would benefit any other user of thread groups, I'm
      submitting this for inclusion in the 2.5 kernel.
      
      Note that this patch also adds support for sys_gettid() for the
      architectures that don't have it.  While this could have been split into a
      spearate patch, it would create conflicts since this patch also adds
      sys_tkill(), so I felt it was cleaner to leave them together.

      The patch moves:
      
      	* joystick drivers from drivers/char/joystick to drivers/input/joystick
      	* gameport drivers from drivers/char/joystick to drivers/input/gameport
      	* serio drivers from drivers/char/joystick to drivers/input/serio
      
      I don't think the joystick drivers should stay in char, because they're
      NOT character device drivers (check for register_chrdev, none to be found).
      
      It also fixes build problems with sound driver gameport support.

      [PATCH] 2.5.3 ISDN work around buggy hw · 88d3c6a5
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      the appended patch works around a bug in the PLX9050 chip. This chip is
      used in various PCI ISDN adapters (it's an PCI interface chip) and has
      an erratum when the BAR 0/1 has bit 7 set (the size of the region is
      0x80, so aligning it to 0x80 is legal and really happens for people).
      
      This workaround has been tested by a user who hit this problem with a
      Gazel card. Basically the same fix has been done for Elsa cards, but it's
      untested.
