What that patch does is making the first open _always_ assume that we need to revalidate/reread partition table and kills partition-parsing in register_disk(); instead we just have it do open/close and let the revalidation path in open do the job.

For reasons which escape me, blockdev_get_blocks() is returning -EIO if the mapping request straddles the end of the disk. This causes reads which straddle end-of-disk to return -EIO. Fix it up so that it correctly trims the returned result down to match the size of the device, for both reads and writes. If a write attempt is fully beyond end-of-device then return -EIO. We never get this far anyway, because generic_write_checks() will return -ENOSPC if all of the write lies outside a blockdev's i_size.

This recent fix isn't quite right: it is causing smaller-than-expected I/Os to be submitted when extending files, which causes AIO-based writes to oops. So just revert it - the bug was really over in blockdev_get_blocks() anyway. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The DAC960 driver looks at PCI_Device->irq before calling pci_enable_device(), which means it requests the wrong IRQ and hangs. This fixes it.

I've written two document files, and packaged them as a patch. Two things caught my eye while I was writing this up: The header comments for CDROMREADRAW, CDROMREADMODE1, and CDROMREADMODE2 disagree with the actual source code. The header comments imply that a cdrom_read structure is used to pass data, but the source code actually reads a cdrom_msf structure and then overwrites it with raw data. I'm not sure if there's a bug in the header comments, in the driver source, or I misread something. The CDROM_LOCKDOOR ioctl seems to lock/unlock all doors on all drives, because it uses a global variable.

It turns out that just blindly enabling read prefetch is wrong for the older (and buggy) oz6833 bridge. fixed in the attached patch. - don't touch the oz6832/6833 - more verbose - only set the read prefetch and the write burst bits it broke on some old laptop with a cardbus tulip.

Stephen Rothwell noted a case where one CPU was sitting in userspace, one in stop_machine() waiting for everyone to enter stopmachine(). This can happen if migration occurs at exactly the wrong time with more than 2 CPUS. Say we have 4 CPUS: 1) stop_machine() on CPU 0creates stopmachine() threads for CPUS 1, 2 and 3, and yields waiting for them to migrate to their CPUs and ack. 2) stopmachine(2) gets rebalanced (probably on exec) to CPU 1. 3) stopmachine(2) calls set_cpus_allowed on CPU 1, sleeps awaiting migration thread. 4) stopmachine(1) calls set_cpus_allowed on CPU 0, moves onto CPU1 and starts spinning. Now the migration thread never runs, and we deadlock. The simplest solution is for stopmachine() to yield until they are all in place.

Here's a patch which fixes the deadlock Brad Fitzpatrick reported here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/11/14/98 The meat of the problem is a locking order reversal between the XFS I/O lock and the inode semaphore (i_sem). When we mix a number of threads doing both direct reads and writes, we hit an ABBA deadlock after a while because direct-io.c is taking and dropping i_sem after the XFS read path has already taken its I/O lock. This is the wrong way around from XFS's point of view, in particular its the opposite order to the XFS write path. So this patch changes the logic for direct reads in the DIO_OWN_LOCKING case (i.e. XFS-only case), but leaves things as is for the other two types of locking. Not real pretty, but fixes up the lock ordering and deadlock. Oh, I have tested direct reads and writes on ext3 and block devices as well, to ensure they still function correctly with the change (i.e. they don't regress, should be a no-op there) which covers the other locking cases in __blockdev_direct_IO.

When cont_prepare_write() is padding out the "hole" with zeroed pages it doesn't increase i_size at the same time. If writeback comes in during the execution of cont_prepare_write(), block_write_full_page() will think that these pages are outside i_size and will just clean the page without writing it. Fix that up by using generic_commit_write(), which will advance i_size for each page as it is dirtied. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

raid10 performs resync by reading all blocks, comparing to look for The requires re-tasking a bio that was used to read, so that it can be re-used for write. So a number of fields need to be reset. The bi_bdev field was not being reset. However when using on a partition of a device, it gets changed by generic_make_request. This patch simply resets bi_bdev to the correct value.

With Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> struct task_struct.comm is defined to be 16 chars, but arch/x86_64/sys_ia32.c:sys32_ni_syscall() and sys32_vm86_warning() copy it into a static 8 byte buffer, which will surely cause problems. This patch makes lastcomm[] the right size, and makes sure it can't be overrun. Since the code also goes to the effort of getting a local copy of current in "me", we may as well use it for printing the message.

o General updates of MIPS to 2.6.10-rc2 o Remove the Baget platform due to lack of maintenance over several years. Some of the drivers remain and will be removed in a separate patch. o Remove the HP Laserjet platform. No user reports ever and no patches from the original submitters made this port a neat hack - and a directory full of clutter. o SMP support for the PMC-Sierra.
