the function vfat_strnicmp() has just one callsite. Inlining it
actually shrinks vfat.o slightly.

From Ren <l.s.r@web.de>

there are several places inside fs/vfat/namei.c where the length of a
struct qstr without any trailing dots is calculated. The patch below
adds a function vfat_striptail_len() which does that and makes use of it.

This uses ->i_pos instead of ->i_ino on fat_fs_panic() because ->i_ino
is not useful.

loff_t is _signed_ long long, so format string should use "%lld".

This adds the forgotten test whether it's negative dentry.  That test
should be needed only in negative dentry case.

Removes unneeded dcache_lock.

(NOTE: vfat still has the filename case problem on mkdir(), rename() etc.)

Allows all architectures to simply include the sound/Kconfig file.
Now somebody can finally update the comment for CONFIG_SOUND ;-).

and move help comment to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD

there is a little memory leak in i2c-ali15x3.c .
You can reproduce the BUG as follows:
In a PC with no such device unloading i2c-ali15x3 cause an oops in release_region.
I've fixed by moving release_region() from i2c_ali15x3_exit() to ali15x3_remove().

This updates the driver from version 2.4.0->2.5.0, adding
the CCM_FLIP command.

won't even compile without it.

[ GregKH has already done this is USB and PCI core. ]

From: "Warren A. Layton" <zeevon@debian.org>

Based on a request from Matthew Wilcox, convert instances of
pci_dev->slot_name to use pci_name() instead:

  "In order to support PCI Domains, we have to stop using slot_name.
   It's related to driver model transition too since pci_dev->slot_name
   was redundant with pci_dev->dev.bus_id.  So I introduced the inline
   function pci_name().  Now there's about 300-400 places in the tree
   that're using slot_name which need to be converted to use pci_name().
   once that's done, we can remove the slot_name pointer in pci_dev and
   save a (void *) per pci_dev."

Return proper error code from copy_to_user failure in fs/sysfs/bin.c

From: maximilian attems <janitor@sternwelten.at>

Use char arrays instead of char* for strings:
 a. uses a single variable instead of two.
 b. shorter code.
 c. __initdata will be completely dropped.

Neither one of these drivers has a clear maintainer.  The patches are
straight forward and tested.  Both drivers are released under the GPL.

This fixes a bug in locking (we take one lock twice) for old quota
format.  Without this patch the old format simply don't work (I really
don't know how that could happen).

Thanks go to Herbert Potzl who spotted it.
