      [PATCH] (1/4) removal of BKL from d_move() · 6524fa5c
      Alexander Viro authored
      	OK, it turned out that since the last time I've done that audit
      a couple new users of d_parent had appeared.  First, more crapectomy (strictly
      speaking not necessary, but just look at that code - where the hell does IBM
      find them?)

      [PATCH] 2.5.17 IDE 69 · 80d461c8
      Martin Dalecki authored
       - Apply small host chip driver cosmetics by Andrej xxx Panin
         and Vojtech Pavlik.
      
       - Remove support for "disc recovery time". It could only supposedly
         help with really simplistic broken devices from the past,
         which didn't have moderately sophisticated controllers.
         And finally Vojtech voted for it as well... so I just trust him.
      
       - Apply icside host chip driver and other ARM related updates by Russell King,
         which finally settle the "portability" work a bit, well hopefully.

      [PATCH] 2.5.16 IDE 68 · c7c39840
      Martin Dalecki authored
       - Make the different ATAPI device type drivers use a unified packet command
         structure. We have to start to push them together.
      
      This patch is rather trivial in itself, but the plentora of code duplication it
      is trying to fight against is making it unfortunately rather big...

       - Nuke COMMERIAL and similar spurious configuration options...
         The fact that every single default configuration option contained
         those bits makes this trivial patch appear rather big.

      [PATCH] 2.5.17 IDE 66 · 6b4fef7a
      Martin Dalecki authored
       - Move ll_10byte_cmd_build to the only place where it's used: ide-cd.  The SCSI
         layer does have it's own implementation which additionally it's messing
         around with the hard_nr_sectors struct request value.  One should *not*
         provide "infrastructure" until its really used as such.
      
         If anywhere this should reside in a file called ATAPI.
      
       - Unfold the INIT_REQUEST macro from blk.h. This showed up plenty of duplicate
         checks for QUEUE_EMPTY. Clean them as well. Remove the over cautious
         major(CURRENT->rq_dev != MAJOR_NR) checks. During the last several years I
         never saw any report about it. Looking at the !CURRENT->bio it is clear that
         dereferencing NULL will provide the same kind of panic as the check.  Some
         comments around the code in question show nicely that indeed INIT_REQUEST
         was a good example of code obfuscation.
      
       - A short look at RQ_INACTIVE shows that it is only used inside the scsi.c file
         and during the removal of devices. This shows that the many checks for
         RQ_INACTIVE are not necessary. Looking closer even shows that some of them
         did happen before checks for an empty queue. Plenty of drivers didn't care
         about it and the CD-ROM ones should be handled properly, because the
         most common drivers would fail as well. Comments indicate that this
         was an leftover from 1.3 days...

       - Apply cleanup of host chip drivers by Bartomiej Zonierkiewicz:
      
           affected drivers - aec62xx.c, alim15x3.c, cmd64x.c, hpt34x.c, sis5513.c
      
           new tuning scheme (wip) part 1:
      	- introduce ratemask()
      	- use ata_timing_mode()
      	- use ide_config_drive_speed() return value
      
           forward port from convert.10:
      	- support for AEC6280, AEC6280R
      	- misc cleanups
      
           I had to fix a small typo in sis5513 code...
      
       - Add a new entry for an old VIA cell hiding as something new.
         (Pointed out by Kees Bakker.)
      
       - Make the synchronization token active resident on the same level as the
         spin lock. They interact with each other.
      
       - Synchronize with linux-2.5.17.
      
       - HPT366 driver typo fix by Andries Brouwer.
      
       - Export udma_tcq_enable() symbol right now. The blk_get_request() is undefined
         as well.

      [PATCH] rd.c blocksize handling · d8479cd9
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Unlike other drivers, rd.c wants block size to be set once an
      forever (for everybody else setting block size as high as possible and
      letting filesystems change it with set_blocksize() is OK; rd.c treats

      [PATCH] remove preempt_disable from pdflush · eb245678
      Robert Love authored
      It seems by the comments the statements were only there to prevent the
      thread from finding itself as TASK_RUNNING after a kernel preemption.
      Since we reverted to the original preemption behavior (which does not do
      that) it should be safe.  Looking over the code confirms - it seems to
      not be doing anything evil and is properly locked otherwise.

      [PATCH] One more fix for swsusp · ffab9e04
      Pavel Machek authored
      As andrew pointed out, it is bad idea to run_task_queue() when
      spinlock is held. This fixes it (only could be triggered by user
      pressing Magic-D). There's minor problem left where Magic-D could be
      delayed/ignored under high load. I'll either fix that or kill Magic-D
      support (with acpi, it is very easy to trigger swsusp by echo 4 >
      /proc/acpi/sleep, so magic key is probably not neccessary any more).

      [PATCH] get/put_cpu methods · 79eb6a12
      Robert Love authored
      This implements a get_cpu() and matching put_cpu() to safely hand out
      the current CPU to avoid preempt races.  Andrew and I have been bitching
      about the need for such a method.
      
      I also went ahead and replaced an example of current explicit
      preempt-off with the new methods, as a case in point.

      [PATCH] suspend-to-{RAM,disk} · 542f96a5
      Pavel Machek authored
      Here's suspend-to-{RAM,disk} combined patch for
      2.5.17. Suspend-to-disk is pretty stable and was tested in
      2.4-ac. Suspend-to-RAM is little more experimental, but works for me,
      and is certainly better than disk-eating version currently in kernel.
      
      Major parts are: process stopper, S3 specific code, S4 specific
      code.

      kbuild: Restore build nr, improve vmlinux link · ea52ca1b
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      People relied on the build generation number to find out if they actually
      booted the right kernel, only incrementing it on config changes isn't
      enough for them. So this patch goes back to the old behavior, only done
      right this time:
      
      We now don't increment the generation number on every invocation of make, 
      but on every link of vmlinux. At the same time, this patch fixes the
      Makefile to only relink vmlinux if any of its prequisite object files
      (or the command line) changed. Incrementing the version number
      happens *after* we decided to relink vmlinux.

      [PATCH] usb-storage · eae28375
      Andries E. Brouwer authored
      Created the first of a series of usb-storage patches
      this afternoon. Please find it below or on ftp.XX.kernel.org
      under people/aeb/2.5.16-us-patch .
      It removes 5% of the usb-storage code, but should, if I made
      no mistake, not affect the behaviour of the code.
      
      (This is the introduction of raw_bulk.c to hold USB-bulk
      and scatter-gather code that was repeated three-five times
      in various drivers. The next patch is smartmedia.c.)

      (Patch has been ACKed by the bfs maintainer)
      
      Now that bfs no more is included in the big unions in fs.h it makes
      sense to move the contents of bfs_fs_i.h and bfs_fs_sb.h to a bfs-private
      location.  I've created fs/bfs/bfs.h for that, also merging in bfs_defs.h.
      
      In addition I've changed si_imap to an unsigned long pointer as the bitops
      now use that type explicitly.
