Big One. Flushing/rereading partition tables is taken from ->revalidate() for partitioned devices; now it's done in the caller (check_disk_change()). BLKRRPART handling also moved out of drivers - they are still allowed to override it (DAC960 and i2o are the only remaining ones), but common case is handled in fs/block_dev.c. Note: we are still only shifting stuff - bd_sem deadlocks in check_disk_change() are still there. However, now we have all relevant code outside of drivers and that will allow to fix the thing (see next patches).

->attach() for ide subdrivers explicitly calls register_disk() instead of ata_revalidate() now; revalidate_drives() is gone - it's not needed anymore (we _know_ that we'll read partition table as soon as driver claims the drive; no need to mess with bogus rereading).

->major_name for per-disk gendisks set to full name - i.e. IDE gendisks have "hda", "hdb", etc. instead of "hd". As the result, we kill a lot of crap in check.c::disk_name(). In particular, now we can afford ->minor_shift set to 0 for ide-cd (disk_name() was the only obstacle)

check_disk_change() converted to passing struct block_device. Old variant is still needed for a couple of places; wrapper is provided (__check_disk_change(kdev)). do_open() logics with setting ->bd_op sanitized - now we do that before calling ->open().

fix for embarrassing braino in /proc/partitions - size in kilobytes is _half_ the size in secotrs, not twice that size...

we are starting to split gendisks - now we can do that. Done for ide, sd, pd, hd and mfm It's in transit - what we are aiming at is getting ->nr_real to 1 for all gendisks. Once that will be done we will be able to simplify a lot stuff and remove ad-hackery. First thing that will happen after that is death of ->nr_real, obviouslye. Then we (a) will merge ->major and ->first_minor into ->dev (b) strip one level of indirection from ->driverfs_dev_arr, ->de_arr and ->flags - they turn into single-element arrays and we will simply pull the (only) element into struct gendisk. Kills a lot of ad-hackery in splitup code (fewer things to allocate). (c) replace ->major_name with ->disk_name; kills most of the crap in disk_name(9) - it only has to care about adding partition number to the name.

now that gendisks don't have shared stuff (we used to set blk_size[] from ->sizes) we can start splitting them into per-disk ones. Step 1: we introduce a new field - ->first_minor (to be merged with ->major into dev_t of entire disk once all gendisks are split). All arrays are assumed to start at that minor (i.e. gd->part[minor] got replaced with gd->part[minor - gd->first_minor], etc.). get_gendisk() is taught to pick the right gendisk if there are several with the same major.

This removes the TLS clear operation. I've left the flags mask and the writable flag just so that we have the option to introduce extensions without breaking the ABI.

this is a small patch for boardergo.c linux driver for isdn HYSDN cards to 1) remove call to check_region using request_region instead 2) check the status of call to request_region 3) release allocated region resource in case of error. I don't have this hardware so compilation checked only.

Some CML1 rule contributors seem to think that the "bool" statement takes a third argument which is the default value. It doesn't.

I am not sure if you are the actual maintainer for this, but your name adorns the source : 2.5.28 introduced video mode 1400x1050 twice into drivers/video/modedb.c Both instances use indentical timings, so I guess it's a mistake.

To make spinlock debugging work with -funsigned-char the i386 version of spin_is_locked() needs to cast to signed char explicitly instead of just char. XFS needed -funsigned-char (and currently still has it), but it doesn't evert hurt.
