It seems that changing CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD causes the whole kernel to rebuild due to an inappropriate ifdef in linux/fs.h - we should not conditionalise prototypes. In addition, real_root_dev is only used by two files (kernel/sysctl.c and init/do_mounts_initrd.c) so it makes even less sense that it was in linux/fs.h

This patch fixes a logic bug in NAT range calculations, which also causes a large slowdown when ICMP floods go through NAT. Author: Karlis Peisenieks

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Rather than hardcoded names in modprobe, modules can offer their own aliases (which can be overridden by the config file). Here are the tty-ldisc ones.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Please delete Documentation/kmod.txt: it's entirely outdated and misleading. I thought about rewriting it, but there's not much to add beyond what's in the CONFIG_KMOD's help text.

The same address `i8042_request_irq_cookie' is used in three places for the i8042 request_irq() argument. This means that if someone calls i8042_check_mux() or i8042_check_aux() while the IRQ is in use, the free_irq() call in there will free the wrong IRQ handler. So give all three instances of request_irq() in i8042.c a distinct address by which to identify the IRQ instance. (This is probably a non-bug, because the `check' functions are not called when the device is open, but it is better this way).

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds an 'selinux' boot parameter which must be used to actually enable SELinux. It follows some internal discussion about deployment issues, where a vendor would want to ship a single kernel image with SELinux built-in, without requiring the user to use it. Without specifying selinux=1 as a boot parameter, SELinux will not register with LSM and selinuxfs will not be registered as a filesystem. This causes SELinux to be bypassed entirely from then on, and no performance overhead is imposed. Other security modules may then also be loaded if needed.

From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com> The routine disk_round_stats showed up considerably under oprofile for high disk io load (four processes doing dd to the same disk (different partitions) on a 4 way). This is because the counter in_flight which is per-cpu right now gets read every time disk_round_stats gets called. Per cpu counters like disk statistics improve write speed, but reads are slow (since all cpus' local counter values have to be read and summed up). Considering the fact that in_flight counter is modified post disk_round_stats (which reads the in_flight counter) it is better not to per-cpu this counter. Following patch does just that. Below is the profile comparison before and after the change. This was on a 4 way PIII Xeon, 1G ram, 2.6.0-test4-mm2.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Previously, default aliases were hardwired into modutils. Now they should be inside the modules, using MODULE_ALIAS() (they will be overridden by any user alias).

From: Mitchell Blank Jr <mitch@sfgoth.com> This patch makes the following improvements to might_sleep(): o Add a "might_sleep_if()" macro for when we might sleep only if some condition is met. It's a bit tidier, and has an unlikely() in it. o Add might_sleep checks to skb_share_check() and skb_unshare() which sometimes need to allocate memory. o Make all architectures call might_sleep() in both down() and down_interruptible(). Before only ppc, ppc64, and i386 did this check. (sh did the check on down() but not down_interruptible())

From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au> This fixes a bug in deadline and AS that causes insert_here to be ignored on blk_fs_requests. This has been causing problems with SCSI requeueing code. It makes elevator insertion more correct as advertised wrt insert_here and REQ_SOFTBARRIER. It also fixes a buglet in the as_requeue code where the request wasn't being put into the front of the list (in rare cases).

The new HPET RTC emulation code uses a function in rtc.c, get_rtc_time(). So that function was made non-static. Problem is, the same function name is used elsewhere by some architectures, so there will be linkage problems. And rtc_get_time() is used too, so I renamed it to rtc_get_rtc_time(). Also, the HPET code was setting CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC by hand in a header file. Fix it to use the Kconfig system properly.

From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> With the current code in bio_add_page, if fail_segments is ever set, it stays set, so bio_add_page will eventually fail having recounted the segmentation once. I don't think this is intended. This patch changes the code to allow success if the recounting the segments helps. (Jens has acked this)

Now that all the magic chain of static devices is gone from Space.c The initialization of the one remaining static device (ie the loopback driver) can be simplified. One small change was to reduce possibility of failing the initialization if allocation of private data failed by just going without statistics.

Analogous to previous patch. Instead of dev_base list of static entries, use a loop and dynamically allocate devices. Tested only the 'no hardware' case.

Convert old ethernet device probing from dev_base linked list to the probe_old_netdevs. Blame me for this one ;-) Builds and runs, but don't have old ISA hardware to really test it. So please find some or review it carefully.

Based on Al viro's NE10-sdla * switched sdla to dynamic allocation * sdla: embedded ->priv * sdla: fixed resource leaks on failure exits Additionally fixes. * get rid of cli/sti * get rid of MOD/INC Builds and probes, but don't have the hardware. Driver has never built on 2.6 before this.

This set of patches is a mixture of Al's work to device initialization, and some of my own to complete it for all the ether, tr, sbni, and loopback devices. The first patch adds the hook for converting old driver initialization code over to dynamic allocation. This part extracted from Al viro's set of net driver changes for ethertap.
