      [PATCH] Add error checking get_disk() · d99c48c6
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org>
      
      The get_disk() function should check the return value from kobject_get()
      before passing it to to_disk().  This patch fixes this error.

      [PATCH] Fix nfsd_symlink() failure path · 18f3cae2
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
      
      In both 2.5 and 2.4, the fs/nfsd/vfs.c:nfsd_symlink() function calls down to
      notify_change().  If notify_change fails for some reason, the error code is
      not converted to an nfs no-the-wire error code as is should.  The attached
      patches fix that (one for 2.4, the other for 2.5).

      [PATCH] Tighten CONFIG_NUMA preconditions · 34b254ca
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Martin J. Bligh and Dave Hansen
      
      People with ordinary PCs are accidentally turning on NUMA support, and people
      with NUMA machines are finding the NUMA option mysteriously disappearing.
      This patch sets the defaults to sane things for everyone, and only allows you
      to turn on NUMA with both SMP and 64Gb support on (it's useful for the
      distros on non-Summit boxes, but not on their UP kernels ;-)).
      
      I've also moved it below the highmem options, as it logically depends on
      them, so this makes more sense.  For those searching for NUMA support on
      *real* NUMA machine, Dave has provided some guiding comments to show them
      what they messed up (it's totally non-obvious).  Hopefully this will stop
      people's recent unfortunate foot-wounds (I think UP machines were defaulting
      to NUMA on ...  oops).

      [PATCH] /proc/sysrq-trigger: trigger sysrq functions via · 5d954f33
      Andrew Morton authored
      This makes sysrq facilities available to remote users.
      
      Writing a 'C' to /proc/sysrq-trigger receives the same treatment as typing
      sysrq-C on the local keyboard.

      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
      
      wli got an oops from this. The callbacks call mod_timer so the timer had
      better be setup by then
