- truncate really fixed this time. Everybody agrees.

    - ext2: final truncate piece - fix the innd problem.
    - use "sfence" for x86 memory barrier when available.
    - remove the thread-group signal code for now: no feedback.
      Leave the cleanups in place so that we can add it back in
      cleanly later, but remove the new features.
    - ARM update.
    - released for Al Viro to check the truncate thing

    - The TCP socket leak patch _really_ went in this time.
    - get rid of more suser() checks in networking.. It's "capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)".
    - sparc updates
    - alpha updates. Fast alpha xor for raid. AP1000 updates.
    - Wonders never cease. digiboard driver updates. Christoph Lameter is BAAACK!
    - SiS frame buffer driver updates. Can be used without a BIOS.
    - nfsd interface cleanup.
    - fix potential buffer overruns in get_partition_list.  Remove
      limitation of one page.
    - floppy driver capability cleanups. Use "request_region()".
    - handle dcache flushing when there are shared user mappings that
      may be dirty.
    - get rid of the "xxxx_ret()" user access macros. They are more complex than
      just doing the return directly and they hide what's going on.
    - fix up broken BIOSes that don't give unique ID's to different APICs
    - make more of the drm drivers compile on other platforms and know
      about the signal blocking issues.
    - net/atm/mpoa_proc.c: user-space access thinko
    - pcmcia: David Hinds: merge updates from 3.1.20
    - pcmcia: non-ISA machines really shouldn't use ISA interrupts ;)
    - ext2: truncate races and error code return fixes
    - true shared signals for pthreads..

    - Oops. Moved back stallion.c to drivers/char. It's not a TV driver.
      Never has been, and I don't see it ever really becoming one ;)
    - mca.c: outp_b() should be outb_p().  Obviously nobody actually
      _uses_ the MCA bus any more ;)
    - umsdos should be ok again after the page_address() type-changes.
    - re-enable asynchronous read-ahead code.
    - Sun ESP driver update
    - netfilter debug fixes
    - IPv6 needs to register before proto_init()
    - socket() error code fix (EAFNOSUPPORT instead of EINVAL)
    - potential TCP socket leak fix
    - don't self-deadlock on the kbd_controller_lock when probing for the mouse
    - CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE didn't work. Silly typo.
    - scheduler wakeup race condition could cause delayed scheduling on SMP..
    - net/packet/af_packet.c: use the standard macros for marking page resevredness
    - ncpfs buffer-overflow fix
    - thread groups, take 1.
    - USB storage driver update

Ok, getting close to the real test7.

The patch looks bigger than it is due to the drivers re-organization
(discussed to death on this very list ;).

		Linus

test7:
 - pre7
    - block_all_signals()/unblock_all_signals() interface to allow drivers to
      react nicely to signals that happen to a process that owns driver data.
      Read: direct rendering lock handling.
    - ThunderLAN update (timer fixes, full-duplex, activity-led)
    - Fix NFS oops on removing negative dentry. Honour rsize for directory read.
    - usb updates
    - scheduler wakeup race fix.
    - move radio/tv cards to drivers/media, cleaning up drivers/char
    - move "input" layer to drivers/input, cleaning up drivers/usb
    - Cirrus SoundFusion CS4280/461x sound driver.
    - proper camera locking in usb/dc2xx.c
    - USB printer driver update (Printer Protocol 3 and timeout handling)

    - Pentium/MMX has a good IO-APIC
    - APIC detection (aka "try to boot the SMP kernel even on buggy UP
      boards that claim SMP.")
    - alpha time.c epoch calculations. Again.
    - report where the memory region information came from.
    - sparc updates
    - file locking: fix deadlock detection and EOVERFLOW
    - network bugfixes
    - md readahead was getting confused about bytes vs pages
    - DRM and AGP fixes
    - xircom_tulip.c: don't corrupt the timer list on suspend
    - PCI /proc interface buffer overrun fix
    - ISDN updates
    - DAC960 update
    - fork: get CLONE_PTRACE right (SIGSTOP the child)

    - i2c-old compile fix.
    - sparc updates (pte_pagenr cleanups)
    - make ipv6 loadable as a module together with CONFIG_INET_ECN
    - get rid of bdf_prm.b_un.age_super - it just confused the buffer aging
    - smbfs knows about nls and ascii mount options
    - small joystick driver updates
    - make sure to mark inode dirty after having changed the size!
    - hgafb documentation update

    - "USE_STANDARD_AS_RULE" - generic Rules.make as rule
    - arm update (arch/arm, asm-arm, drivers/acorn, Documentation/arm etc)
    - eicon ISDN driver update (big).
    - serial.c warnings removal.
    - compilation fixes under different configurations..
    - bounds checking for hpfs code page index.
    - sparc64 bugfix for atomic_dec_and_lock. Oops. And use flock64.
    - FAT missed the d_type thing from readdir.
    - fix tsk->files race fixes from -pre3 ("struct files_struct", not
      "struct file" and make sure to register the socket fs before we
      use a pointer to it)
    - ns558.c: don't leave the driver registered after a failed module
      load.  Either return success, or unregister the PCI driver. And
      don't leak IO port allocations.
    - USB OHCI controller fixes for oopses due to races..
    - usb updates
    - 3c59x driver update
    - VIA KX-133/KT-133 chipset detection and AGP bridge support
    - raid/raw-io cleanup: use generic_make_request instead of ll_rw_block.
    - Emu10k1 sound driver update

    - nfs_commit_rpcsetup() signed comparison bugfix and cleanup
    - sparc updates and TLB invalidation fix
    - networking updates (less verbose on the new reordering messages)
    - network driver Makefile cleanup
    - Fix segment copy on fork.
    - tsk->files race fixes: close-on-exec etc.
    - sound #define cleanups
    - fs/proc/array.c task_lock cleanup

    - fix modversions.h generation ("make -j dep" works now)
    - finish 64-bit VFS: getdents64 and fcntl64 (getdents64 also adds
      the "file type" to the readdir data - VFS layer change.  fcntl64
      allows 64-bit file locking)
    - Intel i810 watchdog driver and NS DP83810 network driver
    - dup2() cannot screw up the file table with threads any more.

    - fix PCI resource bug that crept in in test6 due to the new
      requirements to handle multiple bus regions transparently
    - ll_rw_block documentation
    - sound driver module counting bugfix and cleanup (move to named
      initializers)
    - directory rename bug fix for busy directories (oops)
    - allow "init_new_context()" to fail - it can do so on some
      architectures when out of memory.
    - networking updates - TCP retransmission and ordering logic
    - fix strsep(). Not that anybody cared.

- speling fixces.
 - fix drm/agp initialization issue
 - saner modules installation
        (*) NOTE! This may/will break some module setups.  Files go in
        different places. Better places.
 - per-CPU irq count area. Better for caches, simpler code.
 - "mem_map + MAP_NR(x)" => virt_to_page(x)
        (*) Purely syntactic change at this point. NUMA memory handling
        will take advantage of this during 2.5.x
 - page_address() returns (void *) to make it clearer that it is a
   virtual address (it's the reverse of "virt_to_page()", see above).
 - zimage builds should work again.
 - Make current gcc's able to compile the kernel.
 - fix irq probing in IDE driver: this caused strange irq problems for
   other drivers later on (notably PCMCIA, which is one of the few
   drivers to still probe for ISA interrupts on modern machines).
 - Intel microcode update update.
 - mips/mips64/sh/sparc/sparc64/acorn updates
 - DAC960 driver update
 - floppy shouldn't scream on open/close
 - console driver does correct palette setting.  No more black screens
   with XF86-4.x
 - ISDN updates
 - PCI layer can assign resources from multiple IO and memory windows
 - yenta_socket driver no longer oopsable on unload.
 - flush_dcache_page() for more virtual dcache coherency issues
 - ext2_get_block() races fixed
 - jffs bugfixes galore.
 - user resource tracking infrastructure re-organization.
 - umsdos works again.
 - loopback shouldn't deadlock

The diff is pretty huge, to a
large degree due to a bttv driver syntactic split-up and due to the NLS
forward-port from 2.2.x.

Other notable bugfixes:
 - the buggy Toshiba (and possibly others) BIOS memory reporting thing
   is fixed. Just ignore RAM that the BIOS reports in the 640k-1M range.
   The BIOS is confused.
 - Manfred Spraul found and fixed a SMP TLB invalidation problem with threads.
 - various architecture updates (arm, ia64, sparc, sh..)
 - MD driver cleanups
 - Toshiba floppy controller problem workaround
 - updated DRI code (works with XF86-4.0.1)
 - various driver updates (ToPIC CardBus should work, ide updates, etc)
 - "kfree_s()" is gone. It hasn't existed for several years, but people
   still used it. No more.
 - USB driver updates and fbcon cleanups
 - various othe rupdates I've repressed.
