      [PATCH] videodev redesign · 154feaef
      Gerd Knorr authored
      This patch is a redesign for videodev.[ch].  Changes:
      
      - drop the function pointers (read/write/mmap/poll/...) from struct
        video_device, use struct file_operations directly instead.
        Dispatching to different drivers by minor number is done the same way
        soundcore.o handles this: swap file->f_fops at open() time.
      
      - also drop the now obsolete video_red/write/mmap/poll/...  functions
        from videodev.c
      
      - Stop using the BKL, use a mutex to protect open,register+unregister
        calls against races.
      
      - provide a video_generic_ioctl() function which can (and should) be
        used by v4l drivers to handle copying from and to userspace.
      
      - provide video_exclusive_open/release functions which can be used by
        v4l drivers to make sure only one process at a time opens the
        device.  They can be hooked directly into struct file_operations if
        some driver has nothing to initialize at open time (which is true
        for many drivers in drivers/media/radio/).
      
      The move from function pointers in struct video_device to struct
      file_operations does break all existing v4l drivers.  Thus I have a
      large number of patches for the drivers in the kernel tree.  Most of it
      is just the adoption to the videodev.[ch] changes, but I've also fixed a
      small bug there and there while walking througth the source files.

      [PATCH] APM patch: apm_cpu_idle cleanups · 10caf7bf
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      Number 7.
      
      This patch contains four cleanup changes whose aim
      is better code self-documentation (the best way to
      document IMHO).  They are sent together because they
      overlap.
      
      1. Rename the variable "sys_idle" to 'original_pm_idle'.
      This is where we store the value that we find in pm_idle before
      we substitute the address of our own apm_cpu_idle() function.
      In principle we have no idea whose address this is, so
      the variable name shouldn't imply that we know that this is
      the address of a system idle function; it should simply
      indicate that it is the original value of pm_idle.
      
      2. Variable "apm_is_idle" is renamed 'apm_idle_done'.
      This flag indicates when apm_do_idle() has been called.
      It is a premise of apm_cpu_idle()'s operation that it is
      not known whether the apm_do_idle() function really idles
      the CPU.  The name of the flag should not lead one to
      believe otherwise.
      
      3. Variable "t1" is renamed 'bucket'.  The variable is not
      a time but a countdown ("bucket"), so the variable name
      should not lead one to believe it is some sort of time
      value.
      
      4. A default: case is added to the switch in order to
      remind the reader that there is a third possible return
      value from apm_do_idle().

      [PATCH] APM patch: change implementation of ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY · 2aa149db
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      Number 6
      
      This patch cleans up the way the ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY macro
      forces calling of the APM BIOS busy routine.  Instead
      of storing a false value in clock_slowed, we disjoin
      clock_slowed with the value of ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY.  This
      simplifies the code.

      [PATCH] Trivial APM patch: set_system_power_state · 790322ee
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      Number 5 from Thomas Hood
      
      This patch renames the static function "apm_set_power_state"
      to 'set_system_power_state'.
      
      Generally, the prefix 'apm_' is required to prevent external
      name collisions on exported functions.  This is a static function,
      so the prefix isn't required for that purpose.  The prefix might
      also indicate that this function has something particularly
      to do with the apm subsystem; but that's not the case here.  This
      function is simply a wrapper for set_power_state(), inserting the
      argument which sets the power state for the whole system.
      My main motivation for wanting to change this name is clearly
      to indicate the difference between this function and
      set_power_state().  Also, I would like to export set_power_state()
      someday in the future, but this is a separate issue.

      [PATCH] APM: move 'ignore_normal_resume = 1' · 7efc9a0f
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      This is number four and actually fixes a bug.
      
      This patch moves the setting of the ignore_normal_resume flag
      prior to the sti(); otherwise BIOS-generated normal resume
      events slip through unignored.

      [PATCH] Trivial apm patch: move apm_error up · 76949446
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      Here is the third one.
      
      This patch moves the apm_error() function higher
      in the file so that it is adjacent to the error_table
      that it uses.  This makes the code easier to read.
      The beginning of the file is an appropriate place
      for "utility" functions of this kind.  This is a pure
      move, with no changes made to the function.

      [PATCH] Trivial apm update: eliminate 0 initializers · df7ceeb4
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      Second in a series of patches from Thomas Hood.
      
      This patch eliminates the 0 initializers on three
      static variables inside the apm_cpu_idle function.
      These initializers are superfluous.
      
      The initializers are replaced with comments whose
      purpose is to indicate that the code relies upon the
      fact that these variables are initialized to zero
      at load time.

      [PATCH] Trivial APM update part 1 · e10542c9
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      This is the first of a series of patches I have got from Thomas Hood
      that modify the apm code mainly for better self documentation.
      
      This one does:
      
      Variable "waiting_for_resume" is renamed 'ignore_sys_suspend'.
      The reason for the change is that this flag variable is
      employed in a manner analogous to that of other flag variables
      named 'ignore ...'.  When the flag is set, the driver needs to
      ignore further system suspends.  The driver does not "wait"
      in the usual sense of that word.  The only sense in which the
      driver waits is the sense in which it needs to continue to
      ignore system suspends until certain events occur.  One such
      event is a resume.  However, another such event is the vetoing
      of the suspend request by a driver.  So it would be more
      accurate to call the flag 'waiting_for_resume_or_suspend_reject'
      or something like that.  But for the reason mentioned first,
      an even better name is 'ignore_sys_suspend'.

      Alexander Viro authored
      kill_super() and deactivate_super() merged.
      
      Next step will be to export these suckers - after that we will be finally
      done with infrastructure for filesystems with nontrivial ->get_sb().

      Alexander Viro authored
      New helper - sget().  get_sb_bdev() and get_anon_super()
      switched to using it.  Basically, it's get_anon_super()
      done right (and get_anon_super() itself will probably
      die).

      [PATCH] pci=usepirqmask option. · 6e8f7982
      John Clemens authored
      Last week I sent you a patch adding a config option to honor the pirq mask
      in the PCI routing table.  On your suggestion, Cory Bell made it a command
      line option using the pci= interface and we both agree with you, it's
      -much- cleaner this way.
      
      Patch against 2.5.6 (Cory's submitting for 2.4, I've tested and submitting
      towards 2.5).  All credit goes to Cory Bell, with only minor input and
      testing from myself.

      Brian Gerst authored
      Start of cleaning up the union of filesystem-specific structures in
      struct super_block.  The goal is to remove dependence on filesystem
      headers in fs.h. 
      
      This patch abstracts the access to the minix_sb_info structure through
      the function minix_sb().

      [PATCH] dnotify · d7d3ae66
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      The following patch makes directory notifications per thread group instead
      of per process tree as they are now.  This means, in particular, that if
      a child closes a file descriptor that has a directory open with notifies
      enabled, the notification will not be removed.
      
      Thanks to Andrea for the push in the right direction.

      [PATCH] PATCH - knfsd in 2.5.6 - fsid= export option · cbada281
      Neil Brown authored
      Support fsid=<number> export option to be device number independent
      
      This patch was largely supplied by Steven Whitehouse <steve@gw.chygwyn.com>
      
      A new export option "NFSEXP_FSID" indicates that the ex_dev passed down
      is a user specified number, not a device number.
      It should be used in fsid_type==1 filehandles to identify the
      the exportpoint rather than the devid and inode (as in fsid_type == 0).
      This allows filehandles to be device-number independent so that when Linux
      changes device numbers on you (after reboot), your filesystems wont go stale.
      
      User-space support for this is in the nfs-utils CVS and will be in
      the next release (any release > 1.0).
