      [PATCH] meye driver update · 4cb41595
      Stelian Pop authored
      This patch (+ BK changeset) converts the meye driver to the new DMA API,
      this is necessary for the driver to be used in 2.5. 
      
      Stelian.
      
      ChangeSet@1.332, 2002-02-15 16:35:31+01:00, stelian@popies.net
        Convert to the new DMA API and allocate separate DMA pages instead of one big buffer.

      [PATCH] PATCH 2.5.5-pre1 dead arrays. · 72083826
      Martin Dalecki authored
      Just the usual removal of the dead global arrays and associated cruft.
      (Thistime not affecting lvm, which BTW. doesn't compile currently anyway
      ;-).

      [PATCH] Re: IDE cleanup for 2.5.4-pre3 · 5191903e
      Martin Dalecki authored
      The end_request() function familiy (not the global one, but the IDE
      specific ones), did bear a permuted parameter ordering.  After fixing
      this it turned out that at all places the huk parameter wasn't the
      hwgroup, but just the drive in question itself.  I have changed this to
      be more sane, which allowed to remove many unneccessary code
      duplication, or rather obfuscation, in between the __ide_end_request()
      and ide_end_request() functions.  This simplification is actually the
      "spreading" part of the game.

      [PATCH] ENOSPC correctness · 071c9b22
      Andrew Morton authored
      A forward-port.  This is the code which prevents ENOSPC
      errors from exposing stale data within filesystems.
      
      - in generic_file_write(), if prepare_write() fails, truncate
        the file to drop any part-added blocks.
      
      - in __block_write_full_page(), if we hit an error,  push
        whatever buffers we _have_ mapped into the file out to disk.
      
      - in __block_prepare_write(), if we hit an error, zero out
        any blocks which we did manage to map into the file.  This
        is because the caller won't be doing any writing to those
        blocks due to the error.

      [PATCH] msync correctness · 1c000719
      Andrew Morton authored
      A forward port.  At present, msync() does not report errors
      from EIO or ENOSPC.  fsync() has the same bug for mapped pages
      against the affected fd.
      
      The patch correctly propagates these errors back up from
      writepage so that fsync and msync correctly report errors.
      
      It's fairly important - msync is the only way we have
      of reporting ENOSPC against sparse mappings.
      
      Of course, you can still silently lose your data if it's kswapd who
      gets ENOSPC during writepage.  I have 3/4 of a patch for that.  It
      records the data loss so that a later msync() will report the bad
      news.
      
      This patch also adds an implementation of msync(MS_ASYNC), because
      it was easy.

      [PATCH] IS_SYNC diretory handling · 6c5e0f13
      Andrew Morton authored
      A forward-port.  ext2, minix and sysv aren't handling directories
      correctly when IS_SYNC is in place.  They call waitfor_one_page(),
      but forgot to start the I/O.
      
      The patch also moves waitfor_one_page and writeout_one_page
      into fs/buffer.c, so mm/filemap.c now does not mention buffer_head
      at all.

      [PATCH] BUG register preservation · 98d809e7
      Andrew Morton authored
      Here's the x86 BUG() implementation we discussed the other day.
      
      I also have the rework of the header files which avoids
      instantiation of strings in headers and saves 100-200k.
      However that is only needed for gcc 2.X.  I assume that
      by the time 2.6 is in use, gcc-3.x will be the preferred
      compiler.
