This removes the pointless cramfs message when booting with cramfs compiled in but not as the root filesystem.

* makes the three USB drivers not use the procfs stuff, also added a warning that they should converted to sysfs. * Removes the leftover, obsolete VIDEO_PROC_FS config option, that should catch any other build failures too (if any).

From: Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com> The /proc code's bare atomic_inc(&mm->count) is racy against __exit_mm()'s mmput() on another CPU: it calls mmput() outside task_lock(tsk), and task_lock() isn't appropriate locking anyway. So what happens is: CPU0 CPU1 mmput() ->atomic_dec_and_lock(mm->mm_users) atomic_inc(mm->mm_users) ->list_del(mm->mmlist) mmput() ->atomic_dec_and_lock(mm->mm_users) ->list_del(mm->mmlist) And the double list_del() of course goes splat. So we use mmlist_lock to synchronise these steps. The patch implements a new mmgrab() routine which increments mm_users only if the mm isn't already going away. Changes get_task_mm() and proc_pid_stat() to call mmgrab() instead of a direct atomic_inc(&mm->mm_users). Hugh, there's some cruft in swapoff which looks like it should be using mmgrab()...

From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Hmmm. This is looking like fallout from the massive wli-bomb. Here's the loop that controls the cpu booting, before and after cpumask_t: - for (bit = 0; kicked < NR_CPUS && bit < BITS_PER_LONG; bit++) + for (bit = 0; kicked < NR_CPUS && bit < MAX_APICS; bit++) apicid = cpu_present_to_apicid(bit); "kicked" only gets incremented for CPUs that were successfully booted, so it doesn't help terminate the loop much. MAX_APICS is 256 on summit, which is *MUCH* bigger than BITS_PER_LONG. cpu_2_logical_apicid[NR_CPUS] which is referenced from cpu_present_to_apicid() is getting referenced up to MAX_APICs, which is bigger than NR_CPUS. Overflow. Bang. garbage != BAD_APICID :)

From: chrisl@vmware.com Fixes the "perl installer weirdness" problem which a few people have been reporting. The bug is triggered by creating the index. Coping out the index we assume the dirents start with the first entry after "." "..". It can make the first previous deleted entry reappear. In the past we set inode to zero for an empty entry so this is not a problem. That is not true any more. Also, there were a few places where we were altering inode times after running ext3_mark_inode_dirty(). We should be doing that beforehand.

A `cat /dev/kmem' oopses the kernel. This is because new Intel copy_to_user() doesn't handle segfaults against the kernel-side source address of the copy. It is not obvious how to fix read_kmem(), and handling faults on either source or dest is traditional behaviour, so fix it in the copy function by adding exception table entries for the reads as well as the writes.

From: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Workaround for lack of true reset: - devices/ports are put in silent mode at ifconfig down time but some state is kept around to allow 'ifconfig up' issuing at a later time. Device specific structures are allocated when the pci asic is probed: dscc4_init_ring() moves from dscc4_open() to dscc4_found1(). - try to use reset related board-specific feature at module removal time if available. Comments in the code explain the whole story. Not a complicated feature but it is unavailable on the cards I own and no user gave me feedback -> currently untested. It shouldn't harm anyway.

From: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> - more #define for specific bits; - more scc_patchl use; - just say no to bozo programming: + SCC core _really_ disabled at startup; + Interrupts Mask Register setup and SCC core activation are done as late as possible (i.e. in dscc4_open()); + they are reverted if dscc4_open() fails; + as well as unconditionnaly in dscc4_close(); - more or less paranoid quirk in Xpr handler.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> The blockdev layer has a concept of 'claiming' a device, so for example it can be claimed when a filesystem is mounted or when it is included into a raid array. Only one subsystem can claim it at a time. This patch matches this functionality available to user-space via the O_EXCL flag to open. This allows user-space programs to easily test if a device is currently mounted etc, and to prevent a device from being mounted or otherwise claimed.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Current devices can be 'claimed' by filesystems (when mounting) or md/raid (when being included in an array) or 'raw' or .... This stop concurrent access by these systems. However it is still possible for one system to claim the whole device and a second system to claim one partition, which is not good. With this patch, when a partition is claimed, the whole device is claimed for partitioning. So you cannot have a partition and the whole devices claimed at the same time (except if the whole device is claimed for partitioning).

In a further attempt to prevent dirty pages from being written out from the LRU, don't write them if they were referenced. This gives those pages another trip around the inactive list. So more of them are written via balance_dirty_pages(). It speeds up an untar-of-five-kernel trees by 5% on a 256M box, presumably because balance_dirty_pages() has better IO patterns. It largely fixes the problem which Gerrit talked about at the kernel summit: the individual writepage()s of dirty pages coming off the tail of the LRU are reduced by 83% in their database workload. I'm a bit worried that it increases scanning and OOM possibilities under nutty VM stress cases, but nothing untoward has been noted during its four weeks in -mm, so...

This just reorganizes some ghastly goto-and-retry-spaghetti in the core of the ext3 block allocator. I wrote this ages ago in preparation for fixing the find_next_usable_block() CPU pigginess problem, but that proved to be quite nontrivial. The patch has been in -mm for a long time and Martin has recently confirmed that it introduces no performance regression in SDET and kernbench.

This one snuck in... - debugging message for ACPI - Intel guys removed it from their 2.4 tree (at my request) - it's point-in-time specific (message becomes nearly useless after ACPI bug fixes) - b/c of the point-in-time issue, it's IMO much more appropriate for a vendor kernel (where the message, I agree, may be helpful) - can potentially mislead users to the correct cause of root mount failure - overall, I disagree with adding messages like this. The number one bug report, by far, for networking drivers is ACPI-related (no interrupts delivered). You don't see me adding "boot with acpi=off" messages to the net subsystem.

This is a patch for the video4linux unified zoran driver that has been in the kernel since 2.4.5 or so. It fixes the compile issues in the current 2.6.0-test3 unified zoran driver (current one doesn't compile at all), and also updates its version to what we have in CVS. This adds support for new cards (e.g. LML33R10 from LinuxMediaLabs and DC30+ from Pinnacle), fixes bugs in cards that were already supported and generally improves capture reliability. Changes per file (in detail) are given below. i2c-id.h: add some new IDs for new i2c drivers pci_ids.h: add PCI IDs for each of the supported cards if it has any saa7111.c, saa7110.c, adv7175.c, bt819.c, saa7185.c, bt856.c: update to whatever we've got in our CVS. For most, these are just "easiness" fixes that either add some better debug output, or that make maintainance for both 2.6.x and 2.4.x simpler for me. There's also some specific changes. E.g., in saa7110.c, we enable the VCR mode bits so we get a better image from VCR input. In all of them, we make debugging an insmod option rather than a compile-time option (this makes debugging for users a *lot* easier). Point is that I just want our latest CVS in here. Maintainance is going to be a personal horror-story if it's not. vpx3220.c, saa7114.c, adv7170.c: new i2c ones (for respectively DC10/DC30, LML33R10 and again LML33R10) zr36067.c: removed, the driver is now spread over multiple source files. zoran*.[ch], zr36057.h spread-out source files. Also fixes lots of bugs, can't even start naming them all, you don't want that, neither do I. Just assume that it works better than it used to - it does. Nice things that aren't in the old driver: much more stable, supports DC30+, supports LML33R10, has proper locking/semaphores, supports multiple opens without races now, adapted to new i2c subsystem, v4l2 support, Xv (hardware-scaled) overlay support, and a lot more. Oh, and this one actually compiles. videocodec.[ch], zr360{16,50,60}.[ch]: new sublayer for the driver to unify how we handle the zr36060 chip (DC10(+)/LML33/LML33R10/Buz) and the zr36050/zr36016 (DC30(+)). MAINTAINERS: add me as maintainer (I am). Kconfig: add new cards, plus improve the descriptions. Makefile: d'oh. Zoran: documentation update. Others: I don't think there are any. Greg has gone over the i2c changes a long time ago, he agreed on all of them. Gerd is supposed to take care of the v4l part, he has never complained about any of them. Stability is good, we've fixed most issues (there's still some out there, but nothing serious), lots better than in the old driver. Also, the cards work much better than with the old driver.
