The problem was that when the refcount hit 0, it was unconditionally assuming that it had been added, which is wrong. The patch below corrects that, and fixes the Oops when loading the floppy driver.

Several ports (x86-64,ppc64,sparc64) which do 32bit ioctl emulation have functions for drivers to let them define their own translation handlers. So far it was a bit complicated to use because there was no standard include file that declares the prototypes for this stuff. Then drivers and other subsystems can start to declare their own ioctl translation handlers. This patch add include/linux/ioctl32.h to fix this. The actual implementation is in arch specific code. It has been coordinated with DaveM and Anton. This patch is needed for the x86-64 merge I sent in separate mail. There is currently no preprocessor symbol that the drivers can test to see if they should use this. So far they have to check arch symbols. This will be fixed later when all 64bit ports that need it add the dynamic ioctl registration API too (that's ia64,s390x,mips64)

This fixes a few files that got lost with the last merge and merges with 2.5.43/i386. Only changes architecture specific files. It depends on one other patch (for linux/ioctl32.h) which I'm sending separately. Changes: - Include missing files (pageattr.c) and Makefile changes - Update IA32 subsystem. Various small fixes and a big merge with sparc64. - Change HZ to 1000 - Merge some of the 2.5.43/i386 profiling changes. No full oprofile yet. - Fix many warnings - Update defconfig - Various other smaller cleanups and bugfixes.

sbpcd.c: removes bogus duplicate definition of sbpcd_lock, use of CURRENT (we are using private queue) and call of invalidate_buffers() in ->media_changed() (caller does it itself). That went in a changeset from davej - looks like a merge problem... sr.c: braino in ifdefed printk - s/disk/cd->disk/. Thanks to jejb for spotting that one...

This adds a set of list macros that make handling of list protected by RCU simpler. The interfaces added are - list_add_rcu list_add_tail_rcu - Adds an element by taking care of memory barrier (wmb()). list_del_rcu - Deletes an element but doesn't re-initialize the pointers in the element for supporting RCU based traversal. list_for_each_rcu __list_for_each_rcu - Traversal of RCU protected list - takes care of memory barriers transparently.

This first RCU helper patch adds a read_barrier_depends() primitive to all archs which is NOP for archs that doesn't require an rmb() for data dependent reads when writes are ordered using a wmb(). In reality, only alpha requires an rmb(), the rest are NOPs. It is likely to be necessary in most situations that would use RCU. Please apply. Description : Sometime ago, during a discussion on lock-free lookups, it was agreed that an additional memory barrier interface, read_barrier_depends() that is lighter than an rmb(), is necessary to make sure that data-dependent reads are not re-ordered over this barrier. For many processors, data-dependency enforces order, so this interface is a NOP, but for those that don't (like alpha), it can be a rmb(). For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"): CPU 0 CPU 1 b = 2; memory_barrier(); p = &b; q = p; read_barrier_depends(); d = *q; because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these two reads should be separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However, the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b": CPU 0 CPU 1 a = 2; memory_barrier(); b = 3; y = b; read_barrier_depends(); x = a; does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0. rmb() needs to be used here, not read_barrier_depends(). The original discussion can be found at - http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=100259422200002&r=1&w=2 Explanation of the need for read_barrier_depends() can be found at http://lse.sf.net/locking/wmbdd.html

The included patch is essentially a Linux Plug and Play Support rewrite. It contains many significant improvements, including the following: 1.) A Global Plug and Play Layer - Now drivers do not have to worry about which plug and play protocol they are using. Calls are made directly to the Linux Plug and Play Layer and then forwarded to the appropriate protocol. - This will make it very easy to integrate ACPI PnP support when it's ready 2.) A complete Plug and Play BIOS driver - The Plug and Play BIOS now supports reading and writing of resource configurations. - It is now possible to enable disabled PNPBIOS devices. Therefore the user can safely enable PnP OS support in their BIOS. 3.) Driver Model Integration - The entire plug and play layer is integrated into the driver model - The user interface is housed here - PnP protocols are listed under the bus "pnp" 4.) A powerful global resource configuration interface - The user can use this to activate PnP devices for legacy and user-level drivers - See the documentation for how to configure devices. 5.) Automatic resource allocation for needed devices 6.) A PnP device name database And many more improvements. This patch also adds me to the maintainers list, considering the current PnP maintainer has been inactive for over 2 years now.
