Fix atkbd_softrepeat kernel command line parameter.

I have two patches I'd like to get tested by a wider audience before
sending them to Linus for the 2.6 tree.

The first one fixes an issue in current 2.6-test with AT keyboard repeat
rate setting, the second one makes setkeycodes/getkeycodes work the same
as 2.4, so that people can keep their setups. It also fixes japanese and
korean key handling.

I just want to share a little change that I've did to psmouse_pm_callback()
which without this, my synaptics touchpad would prevent my laptop (IBM
Thinkpad T30) from suspending.

I think that if we can't write to the control register it's not less critical
than not having a free IRQ so we better unregister port in this case as well.

Also logging moved a bit.

Made the packet checking code less strict, so that the driver works also for
touchpads that don't strictly follow the synaptics absolute protocol. 
Problem reported by Anders Kaseorg using a PowerPro C 3:16 laptop.

Input/Synaptics:
  1. Support for pass-through port moved from Synaptics driver to psmouse
     itself, it is cleaner and should allow using it in other drivers if
     needed.
  2. The driver makes use of new reconnect functionality in serio. It will
     try to keep the same input device after resume or when it resets itself.
  3. If mouse is disconnected or other mouse plugged in while sleeping the
     driver should correctly recognize that and create a new serio/input 
     device.

Input: serio_reconnect added. Similar to serio_rescan but gives driver
       a chance to re-initialize keeping the same input device.

Input: Synaptics code cleanup and credit update.

Input: Introduce an optional blacklist field in input_handler structure.
       When loading a new device or a new handler try to match device
       against handler's black list before doing match on required 
       attributes.
       This allows to get rid of "surprises" in connect functions, IMO
       connect should only fail when it physically can not connect, not
       because it decides it does not like device.

Input: There is a possibility that serio might get deleted while there
       are outstanding events involving that serio waiting for kseriod
       to process them. Invalidate them so kseriod thread will just
       drop dead events.

Input: rename serio_{register|unregister}_slave_port to 
       __serio_{register|unregister}_port to better follow
       locked/lockless naming convention

This fixes a bug in the qla1280 driver where it would leave a pointer to
an on the stack completion event in a command structure if
qla1280_mailbox_command fails.  The result is that the interrupt handler
later tries to complete() garbage on the stack.  The mailbox command can
fail if a device on the bus decides to lock up etc.

I just found Yet Another Bug in scsi_ioctl - CDROM_SEND_PACKET puts a
kernel pointer in hdr->cmdp, where sg_io() expects to find user address.
This worked up until recently because of the memcpy bug, but now it
doesn't because we do the proper copy_from_user(). 

This fix undoes the user copy code from sg_io, and instead makes the
SG_IO ioctl copy it locally.  This makes SG_IO and CDROM_SEND_PACKET
agree on the calling convention, and everybody is happy. 

I've tested that both

   cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc -inq

and

   cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdc -inq

works now.  The former will use SG_IO, the latter CDROM_SEND_PACKET (and
incidentally would work in both 2.4 and 2.6, if it wasn't for
CDROM_SEND_PACKET sucking badly in 2.4).

From Jon Burgess:

  There is a problems with blank DVD media using the ide-cd driver.

  When we attempt to read the blank disk, the drive responds to the read
  request by returning a "blank media" error.  The kernel doesn't have
  any special case handling for this sense value and retries the request
  a couple of times, then gives up and does a bus reset and disables DMA
  to the device.

  Which obviously doesn't help the situation.

  The sense key value of 8 isn't listed in ide-cd.h, but it is listed in
  scsi.h as a "BLANK_CHECK" error.

  This trivial patch treats this error condition as a reason to abort
  the request.  This behaviour is the same as what we do with a blank CD-R.

  It looks like the same fix might be desired for 2.4 as well, although
  is perhaps not so important since scsi-ide is normally used instead.

 1/ make sure raid5 doesn't try to handle multiple overlaping
    requests at the same time as this would confuse things badly.
    Currently it justs BUGs if this is attempted.
 2/ Fix a possible data-loss-on-write problem.  If two or
    more bio's that write to the same page are processed at the
    same time, only the first was actually commited to storage.
 3/ Fix a use-after-free bug.  raid5 keeps the bio's it is given
    in linked lists when more than one bio touch a single page.
    In some cases the tail of this list can be freed, and
    the current test for 'are we at the end' isn't reliable.
    This patch strengths the test to make it reliable.

Petr Vandrovec noticed a problem where the thread group leader
would not be properly reaped if the parent of the thread group
was ignoring SIGCHLD, and the thread group leader had exited
before the last sub-thread.

Fixed by Ingo Molnar.

This time we have a SMP memory ordering issue in prepare_to_wait(),
where we really need to make sure that subsequent tests for the
event we are waiting for can not migrate up to before the wait
queue has been set up.

In 2.5.x, the BKL was pushed from vfs_readdir() into the filesystem
specific functions.  But only the unlock_kernel() made it into the HPFS
code, lock_kernel() got lost on the way.  This rendered the filesystem
unusable.

This adds the missing lock_kernel().  It's been tested by Timo Maier who
also reported the problem earlier today.

The previous scsi_ioctl.c patch didn't cleanup the buffer/bio in the
error case. 

Fix it by copying the command data earlier.

corruption on SMP because of another CPU still accessing a waitqueue
even after it was de-allocated.

Use a careful version of the list emptiness check to make sure we
don't de-allocate the stack frame before the waitqueue is all done.

visor.c defines one empty slot in USB ids table that can be filled in at
runtime using module parameters. file2alias generates catch-all alias for it:

alias usb:v*p*dl*dh*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* visor

patch adds the same sanity check as in depmod to scripts/file2alias.

This patch fixes the bug where running ppp over a ttyUSB device would fail.

This patch was integrated by you in 2.4 six months ago.  Unfortunately
it never got into 2.5.  Without it you can end up with crashes such
as http://bugs.debian.org/218670

apart from locking bugs, there are other races. This fixes one with
signal delivery. The signal should be delivered _before_ the reciever
is woken.

this fixes two instances of GFP_KERNEL from completion handlers.

After a bit of mucking around (and possibly finding a bug with debian's
libusb/xsane/hotplug interaction, nothing seems to run
/etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner and thus only root can scan, anyone whose
got this working please let me know), the problem does not exist if I
only use  libusb xsane.

How about the following:

This patch fixes some obvious errors in the jumpshot and datafab drivers.

This should close out Bugzilla bug #1408

James reported a bug in scsi_ioctl.c where it mem copies a user pointer
instead of using copy_from_user(). I inadvertently introduced this one
when getting rid of CDROM_SEND_PACKET. Here's a trivial patch to fix it.

TCP IPV6 ->hash() method should not grab a socket reference.

If a device can't be configured, the current test9 code forgets
to clean it out of sysfs.  This resolves that issue, so the retry
in usb_new_device() stands a chance of working.

The enumeration code still doesn't handle such errors well, but
at least this way that hub port can be used for another device.

They should be bound to the interface the driver is attached to, not
the device.

The problem was that the cursor was in the list being walked, and when
the pointer pointed to the cursor the list_del/list_add_tail pair would
oops trying to find the entry pointed to by the prev pointer of the
deleted cursor element.

The solution I found was to move the list_del earlier, before the
beginning of the list walk. since it is not used during the list walk and
should not count in the list enumeration it can be deleted, then the
list pointer cannot point to it so it can be added safely with the
list_add_tail without oopsing, and everything works as expected.

I am unable to oops this version with any of my test programs. 

Patch acked by Al Viro.
