In fs/partitions/check.c  there are two pieces of code that add a
partition number to a block-device name:

  - the 'disk_name' function
  - a snprintf in add_partitions.

'disk_name' inserts a 'p' before the partition number if the device
name ends with a digit.  The snprintf in add_partitions doesn't.

This patch rectifies this anomoly so that names in sysfs can be
parsed more reliably.


This has been extensively discussed.  It will probably break the external
`iostat' tool.  But only for disks whose name ends in a digit, which appears
to be only DAC960.

'console_driver' is defined only when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is set.  However it
is used by vty_init() which is outside the scope of CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE.

Remove some duplicated hugetlbfs code.

Update ctime/mtime in libfs where appropriate.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

hugetlbfs is doing strange things with directory sizes.  Al says there is no
semantics for reported size of directories so we can remove this code.

Paul wrote a patch to use some of the rmap infrastructure to flush TLB
entries on ppc64.  When testing it we found a problem in vmalloc where it
sets up the pte -> address mapping incorrectly.  We clear the top bits of
the address but then forget to pass in the full address to
pte_alloc_kernel.  The end result is the address in page->index is
truncated.

I fixed it in a similar way to how zeromap_pmd_range etc does it.  I'm
guessing no one uses the rmap hooks on vmalloc pages yet, so havent seen
this problem.

software_suspend() can fail for quite a lot of reasons (for example not
enough swapspace).  However current interface returned void, so you could
not propagate error back to userland.  This fixes it.  Plus
__read_suspend_image() is only done during init time, so we might as well
mark it __init.

From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

This kills unused part of struct and fixes spelling.

It also fixes codingstyle a bit, converts "can not happen" panic into BUG_ON
(fill_suspend_header() allocates no memory so panic is meaningless) and adds
check for sizeof (struct link) [if that is not PAGE_SIZE, we have *bad*
problem, better check early].

To correctly stop all DMA activity, make the boot kernel put all devices
into suspend state before entering the resume kernel image.

From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>


There are 4 bytes in the MSDOS master boot record, at offset 0x1b8,
which may contain a per-system-unique signature.  By first writing a unique
signature to each disk in the system, then rebooting, and then reading the
MBR to get the signature for the boot disk (int13 dev 80h), userspace may
use it to compare against disks it knows as named /dev/[hs]d[a-z], and thus
determine which disk is the BIOS boot disk, thus where the /boot, / and
boot loaders should be placed.

This is useful in the case where the BIOS is not EDD3.0 compliant, thus
doesn't provide the PCI bus/dev/fn and IDE/SCSI location of the boot disk,
yet you need to know which disk is the boot disk.  It's most useful in OS
installers.

This patch retrieves the signature from the disk in setup.S, stores it in a
space reserved in the empty_zero_page, copies it somewhere safe in setup.c,
and exports it via /sys/firmware/edd/int13_disk80/mbr_signature in edd.c.
Code is covered under CONFIG_EDD=[ym].

- Use keyword select in relevant warning

- Include more information in warnings related to select

- Move part of error-checking to a sepearate function

- Added helpers used when issuing warnings - makes code simpler

- Wrapped most edited lines at column 80

Here's the patch to add the new _relaxed variants for PIO read accesses.
It's been ack'd by gregkh and Grant Grundler, and I think it's ready to
go.

PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive after any
outstanding DMA writes on that bus, since for some devices the result of a
readb() call may signal to the driver that a DMA transaction is complete.  In
many cases, however, the driver may want to indicate that the next readb()
call has no relation to any previous DMA writes performed by the device.  The
driver can use the readb_relaxed() for these cases, although only some
platforms will honor the relaxed semantics.

I made a few changes, basically the burst parameter is now in units of
messages, makes much more sense than the old net ratelimit one.

I also screwed up adding a sysctl_jiffies strategy for the burst parameter.

1) the version in 2.6.1 is broken, doesn't work on 64bit big endian
   machines at all.  This needed fixing.  I thought it best to fix by
   rewriting the printer/parser with an algorithm that is naturally endian &
   sizeof(long) resistant.

2) I wanted all digits to print, eg, 0000ffff,00000004 not ffff,4.

3) I wanted exactly NR_CPUS bits to print (or whatever the bitmap size is
   in bits, and not have what is displayed rounded up to the nearest full
   byte, as the current version did.

4) The bitmap printer and parser should be part of bitmap.[ch] with syntax
   and semantics to match.  The original lib/mask.c versions did not
   recognize this commonality.
