      [SCSI] modalias for scsi devices · d7b8bcb0
      Michael Tokarev authored
      The following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias
      attribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc),
      based on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers
      supports.
      
      The modalias format is like this:
      
       scsi:type-0x04
      
      (for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now).
      
      Several comments.
      
      o This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants
        in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will
        not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4).
        Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while
        both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other,
        I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in
        include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing
        them all to decimal.
      
      o There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus.  It might be a good
        idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there.
      
      o osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes.
        With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the
        user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI
        tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias).
        It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either.
        It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in
        modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification
        strings, so that modalias becomes something like
          scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive
        and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device
        type.  But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large,
        and they do contain spaces and whatnot.
        So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first.

      [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls · 5cbded58
      Robert P. J. Day authored
      Run this:
      
      	#!/bin/sh
      	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
      	  echo "De-casting $f..."
      	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
      	done
      
      And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
      to non-pointers.
      
      And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

      [PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operation · 75e1fcc0
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.
      
      This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
      in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
      internally.  FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
      network filesystems would need this also.
      
      Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
      close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
      request in this case.

      Ok, so here is my first take at satisfying this request.
      Be warned, that beyond compiling, and checking that the new module
      doesn't immediately blow up, there hasn't yet been a lot of testing.
      
      But this should allow you to comment on the changes, and move forward
      with dropping scsi_request from the kernel code.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
