      [PATCH] Fix compat_ioctl · 4c3c3a21
      Ben Collins authored
      This fixes the compat_ioctl interface for the case where a NULL handler
      is registered. This should produce a "compatible" as opposed to
      "translated" interface for the specified ioctl. The patch was sent to
      linux-kernel and no one complained (atleast with this second rev).

      [PATCH] make __bdevname output more similar to bdevname · e515904b
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Currently __bdevname walks the obsolete list of block majors to
      find a name for the given dev_t and falls back to unknown-block(%u,%u)
      if that's not possible.  Replace this with an attempted get_gendisk() +
      disk_name.  This means __bdevname can't be called from irq context
      anymore, but as all old irq context callers are using bdevname() now
      that fine (and I've added a big comment).

      [PATCH] remove useless MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT from sunrpc · 8f998915
      Christoph Hellwig authored
       - both rpciod_up and rpciod_down do a gratious inc/dec of the
         use count - but we can't ever be inside those function unless
         it's called from an other module -> totally useless
       - rpciod() (the kernel thread) also bumps the refcount when starting
         and decrements it when exiting.  but as a different module must
         initiate this using rpciod_up/rpciod_down this is again not needed.
         (except when a module does rpciod_up without a matching rpciod_down -
         but that a big bug anyway and we don't need to partially handle that
         using module refcounts).
