      [PATCH] tty_register_driver · f62b69ad
      Paul Fulghum authored
      This patch reinstates the ability of tty devices to use dynamically
      allocated major numbers yet specify the minor numbers statically.
      
      The synclink drivers do this.

      [PATCH] fix generic_file_write() · 5c88d5d3
      Andrew Morton authored
      The recent writev() fix broke the invariant that ->commit_write _must_ be
      called after a successful ->prepare_write().  It leaves ext3 with a
      transaction stuck open and the filesystem locks up.

      [PATCH] ide-cd/scsi/block fixups for SG_IO · 4533ed18
      Jens Axboe authored
      - Kill the bogus ret transformation in block/ioctl.c if we return
        -EINVAL, doesn't make any sense.
      
      - Don't allow sg_reserved_size to be set bigger than a request we can
        deal with...
      
      - timeout fixes.
      
      - Cleanup of user access.
      
      - Set SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, not CHECK_CONDITION which needs to be
        bit shifted 1 up.
      
      - Set sense_len correctly.
      
      - Account sense_len correctly, don't just increment by 1...
      
      - Use the correct pointer in post transform.
      
      - Fix oops in bio_map_user(), it must get the extra reference prior to
        calling bio_unmap_user() itself too.

      [PATCH] scsi_ioctl HZ fixes · ff208476
      Jens Axboe authored
      According to http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html, SG HOWTO,
      SG_[GET|SET]_TIMEOUTs are measured in "jiffies," while timeout field
      of SG_IO structure - in milliseconds. Inconsistent? Yes. Yet it's no
      excuse to disregard the specification. "Jiffies" are USER_HZ, 10ms on
      IA-32 platforms and has to be scaled to kernel "jiffies," as suggested
      below. As for "(jiffies - start_time) * (1000 / HZ)" vs.
      "((jiffies - start_time) * 1000) / HZ." Just think that HZ is 1024 on
      some platforms...

      Assorted small ide-cd fixes, found and fixed by Andy Polyakov
      <appro@fy.chalmers.se>.
      
      - CHECK_CONDITION really wants to be SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, the damn
        bit shift by one bit again
      
      - Set sense_len correctly

      [PATCH] fix two IDE list_head problems · 5897f768
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      Fix two problems related to list_head's (there are more, wip).
      Second bug was uncovered by wli's list_head debugging patch, thanks wli!
      
      - Remove ata_unused list and use &idedefault_driver->drives only,
        fixes list corruption (ata_unused will be later ressurected for hotplug).
      
      - Do not add same device twice to &idedefault_driver->drives, triggered
        by first calling ide_unregister_subdriver() and later ata_attach().

      [PATCH] Fix writev when a segment generates EFAULT · 7ce0fd51
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      If writev() is passed a vector in which the second or later segment generates
      a fault it will currently return -EFAULT.
      
      It shouldn't.  It should write what it can and return the number of bytes
      which were successfully copied.
      
      Fix that up by writing the partial result and then returning the right value.

      [PATCH] support 64 bit pci_alloc_consistent · 747ec9b0
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jes Sorensen <jes@wildopensource.com>
      
      This is patch which provides support for 64 bit address allocations from
      pci_alloc_consistent(), based on the address mask set through
      pci_set_consistent_dma_mask().  This is necessary on some platforms which
      are unable to provide physical memory in the lower 4GB block and do not
      provide IOMMU support for cards operating in certain bus modes, such as
      PCI-X on the SGI SN2.
      
      The default mask for pci_alloc_consistent() is still 32 bit as there are 64
      bit capable hardware out there that doesn't support 64 bit addresses for
      descripters etc.  Likewise, platforms which provide IOMMU support in all
      bus modes can ignore struct pci_dev->consistent_dma_mask and just return a
      32 bit address as before.
      
      The patch also includes changes to tg3.c to make it use the new api as well
      as a documentation update.  I have done my best on the documentation part,
      if anyone feel the can make my scribbles clearer, please do.
      
      Thanks to Dave Miller, Grant Grundler, James Bottomley, Colin Ngam, and
      Jeremy Higdon for input and code/documentation portions.

      [PATCH] Remove unneeded fcntl check · 03d5d52e
      Andrew Morton authored
      The NR_OPEN check in F_DUPFD is unneeded.  viro says:
      
      "We check the limits in locate_fd() (called by dupfd()).  Check for NR_OPEN
      can (and should) be dropped - locate_fd() will never go beyond that
      (expand_fd() will check it and refuse to go).
      
      "IOW, simply lose the check.  We _might_ want to check signedness, but that's
      it (IOW, check that arg will fit into 0..MAX_INT; second argument of dupfd()
      is an int).  OTOH, we might actually make dupfd() et.al.  take unsigned long
      and kill that crap completely."
      
      And indeed, the signedness is suspicious, so make various things in there
      unsigned too.

      [PATCH] speed up the unlink speedup · 3493e0ab

      I'm not sure why I used igrab() in unlink().  igrab takes the oft-taken
      inode_lock.
      
      The caller has a ref, so a simple increment of i_count will suffice.

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>
      
      There's a spot in i2o where we deliberately leak some memory when the
      hardware plays up.  The alternative is to let the hardware scribble on it at
      some unknown time in the future.
      
      Things like the Stanford checker keep alleging that this is a bug.  So shut
      them up with a comment

      [PATCH] kill lock_kernel() in inode_setattr() · a1a862b7
      Andrew Morton authored
      All we're doing in there is writing things into the inode.  I see no need for
      the lock_kernel().
      
      And holding lock_kernel() across mark_inode_dirty() hurts on big SMP.

      [PATCH] irq balance logic fix · 97b6cac7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      The logic is: the global variable is set to the magic value
      IRQBALANCE_CHECK_ARCH.  It can be overwritten by a __setup function.  If
      the magic value is still set when the irq balancer is started it asks the
      subarchitecture using the NO_BALANCE_IRQ macro.  This is defined to a
      genapic field in the generic architecture, otherwise constant.  Then the
      global variable is set and when it is true no balancing happens.
      
      Previously I had this wrong in that it always disabled it.
      
      This part should be correct, but it still doesn't seem to work.
      
      (I left the printk in there until the problem is debugged, could be removed
      of course)
