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.

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

- Code-Review from Oliver Neukum: remove SMP races. - Added some wake_up calls after auerbuf_releasebuf to wake up tasks waiting for cp buffers. - Change the module count handling to automatic (owner: THIS_MODULE).

Al Viro: fix a typo (destory->destroy)

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

Kudos to OGAWA Hirofumi for finding that one - gcc barfs on the current code, trying to define an alias to external symbol.

hpux_getdents() contains a years-old copy of code from fs/readdir.c. Switched to use of vfs_readdir(), which does correct locking.

Yet another flag/wait_queue pair bites the dust - hfs bitmap_{lock,wait} was trying to implement a semaphore.
-
Alexander Viro authored
Useless (lock,waitqueue) pair killed - we have fs-wide exclusion between renames enforced by VFS, so hfs rename_{lock,wait} can be removed.

Alexander Viro authored
Pair (flag, wait_queue) in hpfs replaced with semaphore.

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. Robert Love

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.

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. Robert Love

added new helpers - vfs_stat(), vfs_lstat() and vfs_fstat(). fs/stat.c switched to use them. Following patches will 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.

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.

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.
