      Andrew Morton authored
      Rename resierfs's `struct key' to `struct reiserfs_key' to avoid namespace
      clashes.

      [PATCH] Create nodemask_t · 59356466
      Matthew Dobson authored
      The idea behind this patch is to create a nodemask_t as a node analog of
      cpumask_t.  As NUMA machines become more common, the need for a standard,
      cross-platform bitmap of both online & possible nodes becomes more
      apparent.  We believe we've worked out most of the kinks of the variable
      length bitmap types with the recent cpumask_t patches.  Nodemasks are also
      currently far less widespread than cpumasks.  Further, inclusion at this
      point in the kernel would mean consistency in node handling between 2.6 and
      2.7.
      
      Future goals would be to get rid of the 'numnodes' variable used to count
      the number of online nodes, and replace with node_online_map.  This would
      allow arbitrary node numbering and facilitate node hotplugging.
      
      (Nothing actually uses this yet, but several projects need it, and it does
      model a well-defined physical grouping).

      [PATCH] cdrom: buffer sizing fix · 66d5cab9
      Peter Osterlund authored
      The problem is that some drives fail the "GET CONFIGURATION" command when
      asked to only return 8 bytes.  This happens for example on my drive, which
      is identified as:
      
              hdc: HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA-4040N, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
      
      Since the cdrom_mmc3_profile() function already allocates 32 bytes for the
      reply buffer, this patch is enough to make the command succeed on my drive.

      [PATCH] CDRW packet writing support · 2f8e2dc8
      Peter Osterlund authored
      This patch implements CDRW packet writing as a kernel block device.  Usage
      instructions are in the packet-writing.txt file.
      
      A hint: If you don't want to wait for a complete disc format, you can
      format just a part of the disc.  For example:
      
              cdrwtool -d /dev/hdc -m 10240
      
      This will format 10240 blocks, ie 20MB.

      [PATCH] packet-writing: add credits · a7cbd7da
      Peter Osterlund authored
      Nigel pointed out that the earlier patches contained attributions that
      are not present in this patch. The 2.4 patch contains:
      
        Nov 5 2001, Aug 8 2002. Modified by Andy Polyakov
        <appro@fy.chalmers.se> to support MMC-3 complaint DVD+RW units.
      
      and Nigel changed it to this in his 2.6 patch:
      
        Modified by Nigel Kukard <nkukard@lbsd.net> - support DVD+RW
        2.4.x patch by Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>
      
      The patch I sent you deleted most of the earlier work and moved the
      rest to cdrom.c, but the comments were not moved over, since the
      earlier authors didn't modify cdrom.c.

      [PATCH] DVD+RW support · ed594d2d
      Peter Osterlund authored
      This patch adds support for using DVD+RW drives as writable block devices.
      
      The patch is based on work from:
      
              Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se> - Wrote the 2.4 patch
              Nigel Kukard <nkukard@lbsd.net> - Initial porting to 2.6.x
      
      It works for me using an Iomega Super DVD 8x USB drive.
