      [PATCH] run flush_cache_page while pte is valid · 3d3f3c51
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
      On some architectures (cachetlb.txt gives HyperSparc as an example)
      it is essential to flush_cache_page while pte is still valid: the
      rmap VM diverged from the base 2.4 VM before that fix was made,
      so this error has crept back into 2.5.
      
      Patch below applies to 2.5.47 or 2.5.47-mm1 - needs more work over
      shared pagetables, but they've silently fallen out of 2.5.47-mm1:
      oversight?  I'll send Alan the equivalent for 2.4-ac shortly.
      
      (I wonder, what happens if userspace now modifies the page
      after the flush_cache_page, before the pte is invalidated?)

      [PATCH] mbcache: add gfp_mask parameter to free() callback, · ea6d6fc7
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
      
      Add a gfp_mask parameter to the free() callback so that the callback can
      safely do I/O, etc. The free callback can now also fail.  This will be
      needed by reiserfs.
      
      The order of entries on the cache entry lru is reversed so that
      list_for_each_safe() can be used. Several helper functions that don't
      make the code any better are removed. Finally, a couple of cosmetic
      things.

      [PATCH] direct-io bio_add_page fix · 0828e38f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Badari.
      
      bio_add_page returns zero on failure - we need to propagate that
      to the dio_bio_add_page() caller.

      [PATCH] Move wait queue handling from sched.h to wait.h · 2b2cb8a0
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      This patch removes all the wait_queue handling code from sched.h and puts
      it in wait.h with the rest of the wait_queue handling code.  Note that
      sched.h must continue to include wait.h for the wait_queue_head_t embedded
      in struct task.  However there may be files which only need wait.h now.

      [PATCH] Move request_irq & free_irq to interrupt.h · 8f57bc89
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      It really makes no sense to have request_irq and free_irq in sched.h
      Let's move them to interrupt.h instead.  Note that I also remove sched.h
      from interrupt.h since it's not needed.

      [PATCH] Move fd-related functions from sched.h to file.h · 8e9b611d
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      A minor removal of 6 function definitions from sched.h.  They clearly
      fit better in file.h.  All users of these functions already include file.h.
      And none of them included sched.h directly...

      [PATCH] Remove d_path from sched.h · cd574b74
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      This patch from William Lee Irwin III privatizes __d_path() to dcache.c,
      uninlines d_path(), moves its declaration to dcache.h, moves it to
      dcache.c, and exports d_path() instead of __d_path().

      [PATCH] late-boot fixes · 40fa9470
      Alexander Viro authored
      Grrr...  Two bugs in a patch that had moved md setup to late boot:
      
      a) we need md_run_setup() run before parsing root name.
      b) it's create_dev("/dev/md0",...), not create_dev("md0",...) ;-/

      [PATCH] paride protocols switched to ->owner · 739659cc
      Alexander Viro authored
      Still not safe (we use __MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in paride.c; old code has
      MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in protocol drivers), but that takes crap in one
      place.
      
      	->owner added
      	paride.c grabs/releases it if if present
      	->proto_init() became empty for almost everything
      	->proto_release() <<--->>
      	->proto_init() returns int now (the only case where we do have a
      	  non-empty ->proto_init() needed that all along).  paride.c
      	  taught to deal with that.

      [PATCH] gratitious MOD_INC_USE_COUNT · f7efec4a
      Alexander Viro authored
      dasd_proc.c : should be using ->owner instead of MOD_..._USE_COUNT in
      ->open()/->release().
      
      s390/char/tape.c, s390/char/tapechar.c, usb/image/scanner.c,
      intermezzo/psdev.c: ditto
      
      intermezzo/super.c: they forgot to remove MOD_INC_USE_COUNT from the
      ..._fill_super()
      
      binfmt_som.c: ->load_binary() and ->load_library() don't need
      MOD_INC_USE_COUNT, since ->module is correctly set.

      [PATCH] devfs_register_tape() cleanup · 3197f480
      Alexander Viro authored
      devfs_register_tape() returns the number it had assigned to tape.
      
      new helper: devfs_unregister_tape(number) - removes symlink created by
      devfs_register_tape()
      
      devfs_register_tape() doesn't use devfs_auto_unregister() anymore.
      
      devfs_register_tape() gets devfs entry of directory, instead of that of
      a random file in that directory.

      [PATCH] dv1394 devfs use · 8d1ab570
      Alexander Viro authored
      dv1394.c piles amazing amounts of crap around its devfs entries.
      Probably a result of times before devfs_find_and_unregister()...
      
      In any case, code switched to use of devfs_find_and_unregister(),
      crapectomy performed...

      [PATCH] epoll bits 0.46 ... · 424980a8
      Davide Libenzi authored
      - A more uniform poll queueing interface with tips from Manfred
      
      - The f_op->poll() is done outside the irqlock to maintain compatibility
      	with existing drivers that assume to be called with irq enabled
      
      - Moved event mask setting inside ep_modify() with tips from John
      
      - Fixed locking to fit the new "poll() outside the lock" approach
      
      - Bufferd userspace event delivery to reduce irq_lock/irq_unlock switching
      	rate and to reduce the number of __copy_to_user()
      
      - Comments added

      [PATCH] incorrect block layer segment accounting · 6e941592
      Jens Axboe authored
      There's a long standing bug in blk_recount_segments(). Clustering means
      physical segment colascing, not hardware segment colascing. This
      basically means that we are mapping more segments than here than the bio
      + requests contains, and this causes a bug in the SCSI layer for host
      adapters that have CLUSTERING enabled.
      
      This patch makes sure that we are clustering physical segments
      correctly, and correctly accounting hardware segments. Please apply.
