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.

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.)

Paul Gortmaker <p_gortmaker@yahoo.com>: ENOTTY for rtc ioctl:
   ioctl(d, valid, crap) --> -EINVAL
   ioctl(d, crap, ....)  --> -ENOTTY

  man ioctl agrees:

         ENOTTY The specified request does not apply to the kind of
                object that the descriptor d references.

  Currently we return -EINVAL for both cases which is not as
  informative for debugging stuff.

  Patch is for 2.5.6 but applies cleanly (with minor offset) to 2.4.19p2

  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
  correct me if I'm wrong though.

 - sane retention policy for /proc/<pid>/fd/* - ->d_revalidate() says
   "kill it" if descriptor is not opened anymore (in addition to checks
   for task being dead) and we allow dentries of /proc/<pid>/fd/<n> to
   stay around.

 - preparation for sane policy for /proc/<pid>/fd/* - don't store
   struct file * in these inodes anymore.

 - 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.

 - new helper in fs/proc/base.c - name_to_int(dentry) returns ~0U if name
   doesn't match 0|[1-9][0-9]* or is too large.  Otherwise it returns
   numeric value of name.  proc_pid_lookup() and proc_lookupfd() converted.

 - take unhash_process() into sched.c, move zeroing ->pid into it (and
   under tasklist_lock)

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.

 - fixed off-by-PAGE_OFFSET in populate_pmd() (alpha, again)

 - alpha/mm/init.c forgot to set max_pfn

 - (dumb) default_idle() provided (alpha)

 - s/p_pptr/parent/, s/p_opptr/real_parent/ done for alpha

 - missing defines/fields/includes for alpha (accumulated since 2.5.0)

 - bogus return value type for ->open() and ->release() on nfsd
   (generic, caught on alpha since there ssize_t != int)
