My tmpfs superblock changes in 2.6.9 messed up mount -t tmpfs when CONFIG_TMPFS is not enabled: it wrongly claimed to succeed, and left the directory unusable, giving "Not a directory" errors thereafter.

If NUMA is enabled, find_next_best_node is responsible for helping build the zonelist for each pgdat in the system. However, if one sets PENALTY_FOR_NODE_WITH_CPUS to a large value in an attempt to prefer nodes w/o CPUs, the local node is erroneously placed after all nodes w/o CPUs in the pgdat's zonelist. This small patch fixes that by just checking if the local node is part of the zonelist yet, and if not, returns it first.

Currently we use prio_tree_root->index_bits to optimize the height of both the initial heap-and-radix indexed levels of a prio_tree as well as the heap-and-size indexed overflow-sub-trees. Please see the accompanying prio_tree documentation patch for further details. When index_bits is increased in prio_tree_expand we shuffle the initial heap-and-radix indexed levels to make sure that vmas are placed in the tree at appropriate places. Similarly, since the overflow-sub-trees' heights also depend on prio_tree_root->index_bits we should shuffle all the overflow-sub-trees when index_bits changes. However, I missed to take care of this in my implementation. Recently Stefan Hornburg (Racke) reported the problem and patiently tested the trace patches. Hugh Dickins produced the trace patches that helped to detect the bug. Moreover, Hugh reduced the crash test case to few lines of code. Thanks to both of them. The easy fix is to disable prio_tree_expand code completely. That may lead to skewed trees in some common cases. Hence, this patch takes a different approach. This patch fixes the problem by not optimizing the height of the overflow-sub-trees using prio_tree_root->index_bits. Now all overflow-sub-trees use full BITS_PER_LONG bits of size_index to place the vmas (that have the same start_vm_pgoff) in an overflow-sub-tree. This may result in skewed overflow-sub-trees because all bits in vm_pgoff above prio_tree_root->index_bits will be 0 (zero). However, processes rarely map many vmas with the same start_vm_pgoff and different end_vm_pgoff. Therefore, such skewed sub-trees should be very rare.

Whilst looking at simplifying the implmentation of i386 initialisation code I noticed the following. This change allows these routines to be used in both node based and flat memory models which allows more of the init code to be common in these models. Convert the default non-node based bootmem routines to use NODE_DATA(0). This is semantically and functionally identical in any non-node configuration as NODE_DATA(x) is defined as below. #define NODE_DATA(nid) (&contig_page_data) For the node cases (CONFIG_NUMA and CONFIG_DISCONTIG_MEM) we can use these non-node forms where all boot memory is defined on node 0.

Convert all platform serial tables to use a serial8250 platform device rather than declaring a static table in include/asm-arm/arch-*/serial.h. This change integrates patches from Sascha Hauser to update H720x serial support, and Tony Lindgren to update OMAP serial support.

The PC110 touchpad driver used to just assume that the hardware exists, even though in fact the hw is extremely rare indeed, and just requesting all the resources might stomp on some _other_ hardware. Try to minimize the damage by realizing that the touchpad hw only exists on old ISA-only hardware, and if we have found a PCI device, we should not try to load the touchpad driver. Verified to fix things for Andries Brouwer.

We should not claim to have filled in the ring_pages[] array until we actually _do_ fill it in. It will confuse the code that frees the structure if we claim there are pages there that don't exist. Noted by Darrick Wong.

Yes, they might be useful somewhere else too, but the EFI discovery code is so fragile that it's not worth the bother. EFI people informed.

I've got a Sony CDU33A drive with COR334 controller. The Linux cdu31a driver was not updated for 2.6 kernel so it does not work. Here are patches that try to make the driver working with 2.6 kernel: - fix the timeout values in header file - Make the driver work in 2.6.X - Added workaround to fix hard lockups on eject - Fixed door locking problem after mounting empty drive - Set double-speed drives to double speed by default - Removed all readahead things - not needed anymore It does work on my system. I also know that it's still broken - it uses cli(), MODULE_PARM and it's also not very fast (I _never_ reached full 300KB/s with it, but I know that it's possible in Windows) and probably many other things (I'm new to Linux kernel) - so I'm waiting for comments.
