      [PATCH] remove check_region from sportster.c · b518f748
      William Stinson authored
        This patch for sportster.c isdn driver for Linux removes one call to
        check_region using request_region instead
      
        I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested at all (I hope I got
        it right).  This patch removes all references to check_region in this
        driver.
      
        This is patch number 10 in a series of check_region patches I am doing

      [PATCH] drivers_macintosh_via-pmu_.c · 46ac060e
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
        functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error
        return, I would like to submit my patch to drivers/macintosh/via-pmu*.c.
      
        There is one call in each file which calls misc_register without checking
        the return value. The attached patch should fix that.

      [PATCH] remove check_region from fdc-io.c version 2 · 7d857c13
      William Stinson authored
        This is version 2 of my proposed patch for fdc-io.c tape driver for
        Linux.  It
      
        	1) removes three calls to check_region using request_region instead.
        	2) in case of fatal error calls release_region to liberate region
      	   resources already allocated (as pointed out by Matthew Wilcox my
      	   first patch wasn't doing that)
      
        Remark regarding allocation of regions in this driver:
      
        If BROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER is defined the driver keeps going even if it
        can't allocate one or more region resources.  The driver does not
        store information concerning which allocations succeeded and which
        failed.  When and if subroutine fdc_release_regions is called it will
        then try to release all regions it normally reserves.  I don't know if
        this could cause any trouble in some (rare) situations?
      
        I don't have this hardware so only compilation is tested.  This patch
        removes all references to check_region in this driver.
      
        This is patch number 13 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
        part of the kernel janitors project.

      [PATCH] perf.c misc_register patch · ec9167fe
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
        functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error return, I
        would like to submit my patch to drivers/parisc/kernel/perf.c
      
        This patch simply causes the function to printk() an error and return the
        error code from misc_register() if it fails. I hope this is the right
        thing to do. I moved it slightly earlier in the function so I wouldn't
        have to worry about undoing the side effects of perf_patch_images().

      [PATCH] ip27-rtc.c create_proc_read_entry patch · 73ef1072
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
        functions which call create_proc_*_entry and don't check for an error
        return, I would like to submit my patch to arch/mips64/sgi-ip27/ip27-rtc.c.
      
        This patch adds a printk() if misc_register fails (since that causes the
        driver to fail to load, it should be logged somewhere), and checks that
        create_proc_read_entry returned a valid handle. ENOENT seems to me like a
        good error code to return in this case, although EBUSY is a candidate too.

      [PATCH] Kernel Janitors patch to drivers_macintosh_ans-lcd.c · 5c6e6c72
      Chris Wilson authored
        Working on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, and following up on Mikal
        Still's work there, I'd like to submit a patch for the Macintosh ANS
        LCD driver.
      
        I believe from Mikal's Patches page that his previous patch was rejected
        due to not cleaning up properly. I believe my patch addresses this issue,
        by calling iounmap() to free the IO remapping created by ioremap() earlier
        in the function, if the call to misc_register() fails for any reason.
      
        Unfortunately I don't know how to get this driver to compile on my
        machine, and therefore I can't even check that my patch compiles. If you
        can advise me how to set my machine up to dompile these drivers, then
        please get in touch =) I hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes in this
        patch either.

      [PATCH] Fix errors making Docbook documentation · ff346687
      Craig Wilkie authored
        This modifies the following files: -
      
        Documentation/Docbook/Makefile - Fix dependencies generating parportbook
        which caused tex to choke.
      
        Documentation/Docbook/kernel-api.tmpl - Remove references to source
        files which do not contain kernel-doc comments, which caused "errors" in
        the generated documentation.
      
        include/linux/init.h - fix a trivial function comment to correct the
        generated documentation.
      
        This patch partially addresses one of the issues on the Kernel Janitor
        TODO list -
      
        "someone who knows DocBook, or is willing to learn, should go through
        and clean up Documentation/DocBook to kill all the warnings that occur
        during "make pdfdocs" and generally make the documents look nicer, and
        render smaller PDFs."

      apm_driver_version() isn't an __init function, but is called from the

      [PATCH] /proc/modules change · b0fd930f
      Rusty Russell authored
      This changes /proc/modules to have fixed space-separated format,
      independent of CONFIG options or how many module dependencies there

       Old format: modname modsize [refcount [dep1] [dep2] ...]
      
       New format: modname modsize refcount deps1,[dep2,]...
      
      The module-init-tools have understood this format for over a month now.
      This change allows us to add new fields, ie.  module state, module
      address, etc.

      [PATCH] Exception table cleanup · af285fc8
      Rusty Russell authored
      This patch combines the common exception table searching functionality
      for various architectures, to avoid unneccessary (and currently buggy)
      duplication, and so that the exception table list and lock can be kept
      private to module.c.
      
      The archs provide "struct exception_table" and "search_extable": the
      generic infrastructure drives the rest.
