      [PATCH] solve config broken: undefined reference to `online_page' · cc57637b
      Yasunori Goto authored 
      Memory hotplug code of i386 adds memory to only highmem.  So, if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not set, CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG shouldn't be set.
Otherwise, it causes compile error.

In addition, many architecture can't use memory hotplug feature yet.  So, I
introduce CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

      [PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): handle zero-length iovec segments · 81b0c871
      Andrew Morton authored 
      The recent generic_file_write() deadlock fix caused
generic_file_buffered_write() to loop inifinitely when presented with a
zero-length iovec segment.  Fix.

Note that this fix deliberately avoids calling ->prepare_write(),
->commit_write() etc with a zero-length write.  This is because I don't trust
all filesystems to get that right.

This is a cautious approach, for 2.6.17.x.  For 2.6.18 we should just go ahead
and call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with the zero length and fix
any broken filesystems.  So I'll make that change once this code is stabilised
and backported into 2.6.17.x.

The reason for preferring to call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with
the zero-length segment: a zero-length segment _should_ be sufficiently
uncommon that this is the correct way of handling it.  We don't want to
optimise for poorly-written userspace at the expense of well-written
userspace.

      Fix vsnprintf off-by-one bug · 0a6047ee
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now
possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte.

The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we
have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]".

[ This is just an alternate and simpler patch to one proposed by Andrew
  and Jeremy, who actually noticed the problem ]
