      [PATCH] Convert NFS client to use ->readpages() · b9a2dd76
      Trond Myklebust authored
        - Add the library function read_cache_pages(), which is used in a
          similar fashion to the single page 'read_cache_page()'. It hides
          the details of the LRU cache etc. from a filesystem that wants to
          to populate an address space with a list of pages.
      
        - Fix NFS so that readahead uses the ->readpages() interface. Means
          that we can immediately schedule an RPC call in order to complete
          the I/O, rather than relying on somebody later triggering it by
          calling lock_page() (and hence sync_page()). The sync_page()
          method is race-prone, since the waiting page may try to call it
          before we've finished initializing the 'struct nfs_page'.
      
        - Clear out nfs_sync_page(), the nfs_inode->read list, and
          friends. When the I/O completion gets scheduled in ->readpage(),
          ->readpages(), they have no reason to exist.

      [PATCH] thread-aware coredumps, 2.5.43-C3 · d89f3847
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This is the second iteration of thread-aware coredumps.
      
      Changes:
      
      - Ulrich Drepper has reviewed the data structures and checked actual
        coredumps via readelf - everything looks fine and according to the spec.
      
      - a serious bug has been fixed in the thread-state dumping code - it was
        still based on the 2.4 assumption that the task struct points to the
        kernel stack - it's task->thread_info in 2.5. This bug caused bogus
        register info to be filled in for threads.
      
      - properly wait for all threads that share the same MM to serialize with
        the coredumping thread. This is CLONE_VM based, not tied to
        CLONE_THREAD and/or signal semantics, ie. old-style (or different-style)
        threaded apps will be properly stopped as well.
      
        The locking might look a bit complex, but i wanted to keep the
        __exit_mm() overhead as low as possible. It's not quite trivial to get
        these bits right, because 'sharing the MM' is detached from signals
        semantics, so we cannot rely on broadcast-kill catching all threads. So
        zap_threads() iterates through every thread and zaps those which were
        left out. (There's a minimal race left in where a newly forked child
        might escape the attention of zap_threads() - this race is fixed by the
        OOM fixes in the mmap-speedup patch.)
      
      - fill_psinfo() is now called with the thread group leader, for the
        coredump to get 'process' state.
      
       - initialize the elf_thread_status structure with zeroes.
      
      the IA64 ELF bits are not included, yet, to reduce complexity of the
      patch. The patch has been tested on x86 UP and SMP.

      Remove performance barrier in i810_rng char driver. · 81297f9d
      Jeff Garzik authored
        
      In order to conserve CPU, the read(2) syscall would schedule_timeout
      unconditionally.  This also crippled speed, and was a bad design
      decision.  This cset merges the updated read(2) logic of the sister
      driver amd768_rng from Alan, which schedules only when it needs to.
        
      On my test system, by one microbenmark, read(2) output jumped
      from 0.08 kbit/s to "what Intel expects" of 20 kbit/s.
        
      End users may notice a significant decrease in idle time after
      this change (and a correspondingly large increase in /dev/hwrng user
      speed), if /dev/hwrng is used to its maximum capacity.

      [PATCH] [PATCH] 2.5.44 sa-1111 ohci hcd · 2dc4da94
      Christopher Hoover authored
      Dereferencing hcd.pdev will always oops with SA-1111.  It has to be
      treated as a cookie, not a pointer in any common OHCI HCD code.
      
      Apparently we need a clean way to go from struct device * to struct
      ohci_hcd *.  I added dev_to_ohci that does the obvious thing and added
      separate implementations for PCI and SA-1111.  Two implementations is
      ugly but I didn't think it wise (for me) to hack on the PCI/driverfs
      interface, so I just cut & paste the old code.
      
      Two patches.  The first is a diff from linux-2.5.44 and
      linux-2.5.44-rmk1.  It is from rmk and adds a struct device pointer to
      ohci_hcd.  The second depends on the first and contains my changes to
      clean up to the pdev oops problems.  (Some fuzz may occur as I have
      ohci-1024 applied.)
      
      With these changes, SA111 OHCI-HC/HCD is showing some signs of life on
      linux-2.5.44-rmk1.  usb-storage is currentl blowing chunks, but I think
      I saw some patches go by against 2.5.44 that I haven't yet tried.

      [ARM] Fixes for 2.5.46 · 49ad2d5f
      Russell King authored
      - Add LDFLAGS_BLOB definitions
      - Tweak kernel_thread for better code
      - Fix vmlinux-armv.lds.in to prevent ld complaining about the

      (I'm not certain that the last item isn't a hole in some bug fix in
      ld - this fix appears to work with every binutils I've found thus
      far.  However, if this suspected bug gets fixed, we're going to have
      to rethink how we combine binary objects into ELF objects.)

      [PATCH] `i_version' initialization fix · 9d1f716f
      Manfred Spraul authored
      Ahm.
      
      No. It must be i_version = 1
      
      Otherwise there is a trivial bug:
          mkdir("dir");
          <force the directory out of dcache>
          dir = open("dir");
          lseek(dir,1,SEEK_SET);
          readdir();
      
      lseek sets f_version to 0, and readdir() trusts f_pos, because i_version
      is 0, too. This applies to all filesystems.
      
      The ext2 patch already sets i_version to 1.

      This patch switches from using usb_stor_bulk_msg() to
