Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> tmpfs failed fsx+swapout tests after many hours, a page found zeroed. Not a truncate problem, but mirror image of earlier truncate problems: swap goes through mpage_writepages, which must therefore allow for a sudden swizzle back to file identity. Second time this caught us, so I've audited the tree for other places which might be surprised by such swizzling. The only others I found were (perhaps) in the parisc and sparc64 flush_dcache_page called from do_generic_mapping_read on a looped tmpfs file which is also mmapped; but that's a very marginal case, I wanted to understand it better before making any edit, and now realize that hch's sendfile in loop eliminates it (now go through do_shmem_file_read instead: similar but crucially this locks the page when raising its count, which is enough to keep vmscan from interfering).

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> swap_readpage and swap_writepage forgot to unlock_page if get_swap_bio failed.

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> On some architectures (cachetlb.txt gives HyperSparc as an example) it is essential to flush_cache_page while pte is still valid: the rmap VM diverged from the base 2.4 VM before that fix was made, so this error has crept back into 2.5. Patch below applies to 2.5.47 or 2.5.47-mm1 - needs more work over shared pagetables, but they've silently fallen out of 2.5.47-mm1: oversight? I'll send Alan the equivalent for 2.4-ac shortly. (I wonder, what happens if userspace now modifies the page after the flush_cache_page, before the pte is invalidated?)

Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Add a gfp_mask parameter to the free() callback so that the callback can safely do I/O, etc. The free callback can now also fail. This will be needed by reiserfs. The order of entries on the cache entry lru is reversed so that list_for_each_safe() can be used. Several helper functions that don't make the code any better are removed. Finally, a couple of cosmetic things.

From Badari. bio_add_page returns zero on failure - we need to propagate that to the dio_bio_add_page() caller.

This patch removes all the wait_queue handling code from sched.h and puts it in wait.h with the rest of the wait_queue handling code. Note that sched.h must continue to include wait.h for the wait_queue_head_t embedded in struct task. However there may be files which only need wait.h now.

It really makes no sense to have request_irq and free_irq in sched.h Let's move them to interrupt.h instead. Note that I also remove sched.h from interrupt.h since it's not needed.

A minor removal of 6 function definitions from sched.h. They clearly fit better in file.h. All users of these functions already include file.h. And none of them included sched.h directly...

This patch from William Lee Irwin III privatizes __d_path() to dcache.c, uninlines d_path(), moves its declaration to dcache.h, moves it to dcache.c, and exports d_path() instead of __d_path().

Grrr... Two bugs in a patch that had moved md setup to late boot: a) we need md_run_setup() run before parsing root name. b) it's create_dev("/dev/md0",...), not create_dev("md0",...) ;-/

Still not safe (we use __MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in paride.c; old code has MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in protocol drivers), but that takes crap in one place. ->owner added paride.c grabs/releases it if if present ->proto_init() became empty for almost everything ->proto_release() <<--->> ->proto_init() returns int now (the only case where we do have a non-empty ->proto_init() needed that all along). paride.c taught to deal with that.

dasd_proc.c : should be using ->owner instead of MOD_..._USE_COUNT in ->open()/->release(). s390/char/tape.c, s390/char/tapechar.c, usb/image/scanner.c, intermezzo/psdev.c: ditto intermezzo/super.c: they forgot to remove MOD_INC_USE_COUNT from the ..._fill_super() binfmt_som.c: ->load_binary() and ->load_library() don't need MOD_INC_USE_COUNT, since ->module is correctly set.

devfs_register_tape() returns the number it had assigned to tape. new helper: devfs_unregister_tape(number) - removes symlink created by devfs_register_tape() devfs_register_tape() doesn't use devfs_auto_unregister() anymore. devfs_register_tape() gets devfs entry of directory, instead of that of a random file in that directory. users updated

dm-ioctl.c does, er, interesting things to figure out the name of devfs node it had just created. Cleaned up.

dv1394.c piles amazing amounts of crap around its devfs entries. Probably a result of times before devfs_find_and_unregister()... In any case, code switched to use of devfs_find_and_unregister(), crapectomy performed...

- A more uniform poll queueing interface with tips from Manfred - The f_op->poll() is done outside the irqlock to maintain compatibility with existing drivers that assume to be called with irq enabled - Moved event mask setting inside ep_modify() with tips from John - Fixed locking to fit the new "poll() outside the lock" approach - Bufferd userspace event delivery to reduce irq_lock/irq_unlock switching rate and to reduce the number of __copy_to_user() - Comments added

There's a long standing bug in blk_recount_segments(). Clustering means physical segment colascing, not hardware segment colascing. This basically means that we are mapping more segments than here than the bio + requests contains, and this causes a bug in the SCSI layer for host adapters that have CLUSTERING enabled. This patch makes sure that we are clustering physical segments correctly, and correctly accounting hardware segments. Please apply.

I thought I'd send the results of some experimentation of mine getting an MGE UPS (Evolution) to talk to 2.5 ... basically it behaved after some patches, though the "hidups" driver didn't. They're all attached: - "hiddev-1.patch" ... The default queue size was so small that this low-speed device couldn't queue up about 110 control requests (that many reports to check!) during init. - "hiddev-2.patch" ... Makes hid debug output more useful by (a) making it compile again; (b) adding lots of "Power Device" and "Battery System" reports, and putting all that data into the readonly data section; (c) actually printing the usage strings, if they're known; (d) printing a message when neither input nor hiddev claim the device ... likely something's wrong, like someone didn't configure in input subsystem or hiddev support. - "hiddev-3.patch" ... Teaches hiddev to expose the physical ID just like the input event framework does. Useful to help sort out which UPS is which, so you won't power down the wrong set of servers by accident.

This fixes a problem from Chris' patch, letting the driverfs files work again. The root cause was a duplicate "parent_dev" field, now gone. This also adds minor cleanup in the hcd glue, renaming the value being duplicated as the "controller" that the HCD is driving. (A "parent" should rarely be used, but the "controller" has reasonable uses all over the place ... like in dev_dbg calls!) It's initted by the PCI bus glue, or by the SA-1111 bus glue. Also makes some OHCI debug messages appear only when VERBOSE debug is (manually) enabled. This was self-defense, otherwise running the link/unlink "usbtest" cases could fill up the log filesystem (with debug enabled).
