      [PATCH] 2.5.8 IDE 40 · 45fbecb1
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Make the ide-cd driver usable again in DMA mode by adapting it to the TCQ
         related request handling changes and fixing some other minor stuff related to
         this. This patch is ugly like hell I know. Cleanup will follow separately.
         It was hard enough to make this going agian at all.

      [PATCH] SAK messages · 485f6629
      Rusty Russell authored
      vda@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua: SAK messages:
        I use SAK from time to time when I have problems with hung processes.
      
        Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what was being killed and why.
      
        For example, Midnight Commander contains a bug: it holds fd#3 open to
        the tty. It prevented me from daemonizing processes (like X) - they
        died upon SAK.
      
        This little patch makes SAK tell whom and why it kills. Tested.

      [PATCH] make TAGS to work with bitkeeper · 574faf0f
      Rusty Russell authored
      Peter Chubb <peter@chubb.wattle.id.au>: make TAGS to work with bitkeeper:
      
        If you type, `make TAGS' in the top-level of a kernel tree that's been
        created with bk clone (or if you're using sccs to maintain your own
        copy), then the sccs control files are included in the TAGS file (sccs
        distinguishes its control files with an s. prefix rather than using a
        suffix, so the matches on '*.h' etc pick them up.)

        Hi,
      
        Just a small thing I noticed when grepping through the kernel source:
        one of the templates in Documentation/DocBook has a typo (I think).  I
        believe it should refer to MODULE_LICENSE instead of LICENCE.  Please

      [PATCH] (3/5) sane procfs/dcache interaction · 00306333
      Alexander Viro authored
       - sane dentry retention.  Namely, we don't kill /proc/<pid> dentries at the
         first opportunity (as the current tree does).  Instead we do the following:
      	* ->d_delete() kills it only if process is already dead.
      	* all ->lookup() in proc/base.c end with checking if process is still
      	  alive and unhash if it isn't.
      	* proc_pid_lookup() (lookup for /proc/<pid>) caches reference to dentry
      	  in task_struct.  It's _not_ counted in ->d_count.
      	* ->d_iput() resets said reference to NULL.
      	* release_task() (burying a zombie) checks if there is a cached
      	  reference and if there is - shrinks the subtree.
      	* tasklist_lock is used for exclusion.
         That way we are guaranteed that after release_task() all dentries in
         /proc/<pid> will go away as soon as possible; OTOH, before release_task()
         we have normal retention policy - they go away under memory pressure with
         the same rules as for dentries on any other fs.

      [PATCH] buffer_head leak · 87f77892
      Alexander Viro authored
      Fix buffer-head leak on truncate race.
      
      The reason why it hadn't been triggered left right and center is that we
      step on that path only when partial truncate blows away an indirect
      block shared between truncated and remaining areas _and_ races with
      ext2_get_block() in the beginning of said area.  IOW, we need
      
      	* indirect block with hole in the beginning
      	* get_block starting to read that block
      	* truncate killing everything past the hole (and thus freeing indirect
      	  block in question)
      	* get_block completing the read and noticing that block is actually
      	  gone.
      
      OK...  IMO we should do that brelse() outside of the loop.
