2.6.0-test2 long-format changelog
Summary of changes from v2.6.0-test1 to v2.6.0-test2
============================================
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: new wireless driver for Planet WL 3501 802.11 PCMCIA card
After a long while, and with wireless becoming a hot topic, at least
for me, I get back to work on this driver, Aristeu, Niemeyer, Marcelino,
this will finally be integrated! Whee! :-)
<agrover@groveronline.com>
ACPI: make it so acpismp=force works (reported by Andrew Morton)
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: reorganization
. use enun instead of tons of #defines
. put the initial smp locking, still commented out
. use some defines for magic numbers
. break the rx_interrupt routine in multiple inlines for each signal
type
. CodingStyle cleanups
. Activated the stupid loop, will now try without it, works? kill this
stupidity
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: fix the bug that prevented us from reliably using MTU ~> WL3501_BLKSZ
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: use eth_copy_and_sum, assorted cleanups
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: disabling the stupid loop for now, working well...
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: uncomment spin_lock usage, working well, have to stress this thing more now
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove comment about supporting wireless extensions
It will, but is not supporting now, just some basic skeleton is
in place.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove stupid loop
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: add locking in the interrupt handler
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: move some variable declaration to where they are needed
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: tidy up wl3501_ioctl
. check if the device is present, bail out if not
. move the buffer to the place where it is used
. check the size of the firmware buffer passed from userspace
. make wl3501_write_flash return -EIO on failure, 0 on success
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: initial batch of support for wireless extensions and ethtool
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement some more wireless extensions
Also reorganize wl3501_card struct a bit to avoid wasting some
bytes.
This time get_sense and set_wap wireless extensions were added,
work in progress, ya know 8)
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: restructure netdev handling and kill card_start abomination
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: update tx statistics
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: more wireless extensions: {get,set}_nick and get_freq
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove leftover debug from get_freq
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: create channel to frequency table and use it in get_freq
This table was obtained from the Planet WAP 1000 Access Point web
interface, accessing it over this driver after I ran nmap against
the AP box that is now only with the wireless interface, i.e. all
accesses to it are over this driver :-)
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: do proper tx throttling
. check if queue was stopped when receiving interrupt tx confirmation,
prior to calling netif_wake_queue.
. stop the queue processing if there is less than 2 tx blocks in the
card, with this I get no drops in pktgen, whee! 8)
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: subtract one from this->channel to get the correct frequency
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement get_rate wireless extension
For now returning a fixed rate of 2 Mbit/s, that is by far
the most common for this thing, but perhaps this card can
work at 1 Mbit/s and so I have to find out from were to get
this info, without documentation coding drivers is, humm,
"fun" :-\
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: first cut at adding set_freq wireless extension
This will require further study and probably to include the MIB stuff
in the original driver.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: use wl3501_reset when changing some parameters
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: the first two chars in this->essid are special
. The real BSSID is after the first two bytes, that is why this->bssid
has 34 chars when IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE is just 32...
. Include some debug, selectable with the pc_debug kernel module
parameter, that is turned off by default.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: kill one magic number, introducing WL3501_ESSID_MAX_LEN
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: finally a sane use for this->def_chan!
With this we can finally select in a sane way the channel to use,
selectable thru wireless extensions/iwconfig interface freq nr_channel
:-)
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: update this->rssi at wl3501_md_ind_interrupt
Now the sensitivity information in iwconfig is dinamically
updated.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: clarify arp type checking in wl3501_md_ind_interrupt
Information collected from another driver source found on the net
for this hardware, written by magyver@zcom.com.tw, that I'm
reading to find more information about this hardware, coalescing
several efforts to have a driver for this card.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: initialize link->release timer and use alloc_etherdev
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: merge some bits from yet another fork of the original sources
This time from work done by Heiko Kirschke, and also do some
simplification wrt access to ->addr4 in tx headers, i.e. use
offsetoff and do just one wl3501_set_to_wla in wl3501_send_pkt.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: use offsetof(struct wl3501_{rx,tx}_hdr, addr4) in more places
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: use the MIB stuff in this card, add one more wireless extension
. Using the MIB in the card I'm now able to find lots of useful information
that will get used in more support for wireless extensions.
. Also some cleanups wrt ifdefing the code not yet used to write into the
flash of this card and some more messages tidy up.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement get frag threshold wireless extension
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement get encode wireless extension
. Well, this is just for completeness, as with this specific
firmware in the cards I have WEP is not implemented...
This is the information for the cards I have (tested just one
but I doubt the others have WEP...):
Card Name: OEM WLAN/WPCMCIA
Firmware Date: 02.00.06 01/07/2000 12:13:49
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement get power wireless extension
Now to study how to enable power management.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement get tx power wireless extension
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: implement get retry wireless extension
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: kill a race in wl3501_get_mib_value and more
. collect statistics in wl3501_get_wireless_stats
. WL3501_MIB_ATTR_PRIV_OPT_IMPLEMENTED doesn't seems
to be related to WEP, remove its test in get_encode
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: revert the change to get_encode wrt priv_opt_implemented
It turns out that the first implementation of get_encode was right
wrt checking WL3501_MIB_ATTR_PRIV_OPT_IMPLEMENTED, according to
the "802.12 Wireless Networks - The Definitive Guide" O'Reilly book,
so, put it back in.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove commented out code
Will get back to this at some point.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Move rwnd accounting and I/O redrive off of the skb destructor.
When the skb was shared with Ethereal, Ethereal was sometimes the last
user and the destructor would get called on another CPU, not
knowing anything about our sock_lock. Move our rwnd updates and I/O
redrive out of the skb destructor.
Also, if unable to allocate an skb for our transmission packet,
walk the packet's chunks and free the control chunks.
Also change list_dels to list_del_init. Fix real later, but this prevent
us from a doing damage if we list_del twice.
<mzyngier@freesurf.fr>
[PATCH] aha1740 update
Anyway, here is the latest patch, including fix for the very nice
locking bug Adrian just found.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] aha152X oops fixes
From: Martin Diehl <lists@mdiehl.de>
Seems there are two problems:
* interrupt handler expects to find the host in aha152x_host[] array which
is currently set too late after probing irq's
* despite testing for NULL swintr derefences a shpnt==NULL anyway, looks
like a victim of HOSTNO obfuscation ;-)
The patch below fixes the issue for me - succesfully tested to compile,
load and even use my attached scanner.
drivers/scsi/aha152x.c | 15 ++++++++++-----
1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove more unused code in wl3501.h
will be back in some way with iwpriv support.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: kill WL3501_SLOW_DOWN_IO, use slow_down_io() instead
Also fix some loop variables use, one of which potentially is
related to ADHOC not working, i.e. it was not being properly
initialized, thanks to gcc 3.3.1 (pre-release) and this was
caught...
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: kill magic numbers in cap_info, fix bss_type setting
it was only setting INFRA mode...
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove dead code that was surviving from original driver
It never was used for anything meaningful, i.e. driver_state never
is set to non zero.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: fix some mib variables sizes
Following what is in the 802.11 specs and doing
experimentations.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: argh, WL3501_MIB_ATTR_{SHORT,LONG}_RETRY_LIMIT is u8
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: kill wl3501_80211_data_mac_hdr, we already have ieee802_11_hdr
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: kill wl3501_mac_addr, to follow the de-facto standard for mac addrs
<jgarzik@pobox.com>
[PATCH] scsi_debug mode sense bug
This is for 2.5, but should go back to 2.4 I suppose.
MODE_SENSE_10 alloc_len LSB is in cdb byte 8, not byte 6, AFAIK...
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] consistant names for device model related struct members
currently the embedded struct devices and class devices have totally
irregular and sometimes confusing (sdev_driverfs_dev) names. Name
them consistanly s{dev,host}_{class,gen}dev.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] rework shost/sdev attribute handling
I've finally found some time to look over the per-driver sdev/shost attribute
handling and I'm not so happy with it. First it adds new writeable
variables to the host templates which is otherwise almost readonly,
the other thing is that it needs per-template procedure calls in the
drivers wheras we have moved away from that. Also it looks a bit
coplicated :)
I've attached a patch below that makes the attributes handling a lot
simpler. Details:
- the shost_attrs and sdev_attrs in the host template are now used
to store the attributes overriden or added by the LLDD.
- the midlayer creates those first and then the generic attributes
that haven't been overridded and the other way around.
- the host attributes are properly unregistered now and don't leak
anymore.
Unlike the first patch the attribute inheritance is back.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] pull scsi_scan_host out of scsi_add_host
As Douglas mentioned on this list a while ago there's hardware these
days where we don't want to automatically perform an initial bus scan
in scsi_add_host. Currently we only have ieee1394 in the tree but
I can imagine more uses like iscsi or certain fc setups.
This patch removes the call to scsi_scan_host from scsi_add_host
and moves it into the drivers that want in.
<patmans@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] fix scsi_mode_data length result
I have some Seagate drives that apparently return to much data when asked
for 31 bytes for a MODE SENSE cache page, resulting in buffer overruns.
Requests for 4 bytes work fine.
Changing __scsi_mode_sense to correctly set the scsi_mode_data length
per the following patch fixed the problem for me.
<jejb@jet.(none)>
Fix scsi_lib MODE SENSE(6) bug
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wl3501: remove duplicate assignment of link->irq.IRQInfo2
<scottm@minion.yyz.somanetworks.com>
[CPCI] Fix potential deadlock on extract found by Rusty Lynch.
Removed cpci_find_slot function that created potential deadlock
condition from the CPCI hotplug API.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Move local per-CPU area to the last page of the address space.
This makes it possible to address CPU-local variables via
an addl (instead of addl/ld8 or movl). Suggsted by John Worley.
This doesn't buy us much at the moment, since GCC cannot take
advantage of it, but hopefully GCC will support this type of
addressing some day.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Performance-tune itc_get_offset() a bit.
<jejb@jet.(none)>
Fix up syntax error in aha1740
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Fix for panic on recvmsg() with MSG_PEEK flag and some ulpevent
cleanup.
<sri@us.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Send SHUTDOWNs through the same path as the received DATA in
SHUTDOWN-SENT state. (Ryan Layer)
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: use kstat_this_cpu in arch/ppc/kernel/irq.c
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Force assembly name of init_task_mem so the aliasing directive
works with all compilers.
<herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
[IPV6]: Fix device leaks in privacy extension code.
<scottm@minion.yyz.somanetworks.com>
[CPCI] Kconfig tweak
Changed CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI to a bool instead of a
tristate to match how it is used in the makefiles. The
board specific driver options have hadd their "depends on"
lines updated to have HOTPLUG_PCI first so that they will
work as expected.
<scottm@minion.yyz.somanetworks.com>
[CPCI] Minimal fixes to restore CPCI hotplug to working order
Removed double kfree in unconfigure_visit_pci_dev_phase2, and
added a call to pci_bus_add_devices in cpci_configure_slot.

<david@csse.uwa.edu.au>
[PATCH] USB: Adding DSS-20 SyncStation to ftdi_sio
Patch for 2.4.22 ftdi_sio to add DSS-20 SyncStation to ftdi_sio - the
SyncStation is the usb cradle for the Sony Ericsson P800 phone.
<ganesh@vxindia.veritas.com>
[PATCH] USB: more ids for ipaq
3 more device ids added to ipaq.c/ipaq.h
Added ids for the Rover P5, Toshiba E310 and E335. Thanks to
Matthijs van der Molen, Pavel Stoliarov, Tod B. Schmidt and
Matt Hartley.
<nkiesel@tbdnetworks.com>
[PATCH] PCI: fixup for compile error in pci/legacy.c
the last patch forgot to fix the debug code.
<greg@kroah.com>
PCI: fix up error for when CONFIG_PCI=n and scsi.h is included.
<maneesh@in.ibm.com>
[PATCH] vfsmount_lock-fix
This fixes one place where I missed the replacing dcache_lock with
vfsmount_lock in put_namespace().
Tested with CLONE_NEWNS flag also.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] syncppp: incomplete function prototype
This fixes this warning:
syncppp.c:165: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
by adding "void" as the function parameter list.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] reduce stack usage in wanrouter
From Jorn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> and Randy Dunlap.
It reduces stack usage in the WAN router by about 0x500 bytes
(from 0x520 to 0x24 when I did it in April).
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] unchecked return code of copy_to_user in read_profile
From Daniele Bellucci <bellucda@tiscali.it>.
Check the copy_to_user() return code in read_profile().
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] busmouse: fix memory leak and misc_register failure
From Flavio B. Leitner. <fbl@netbank.com.br>
Fix a memory leak and an unchecked return code in the busmouse driver.
<alex@ssi.bg>
[PATCH] Fix irq handling of IO-APIC edge IRQs on UP
send_IPI_self is needed to resend irqs with IRQ_PENDING status when
enabled.
Checked with Ingo, and it's in 2.4-ac for some time.
This should fix ide lost interrupts on UP with IO-APIC
Ide trigers it this way:
- disable_irq
- do stuff that triggers IRQ.
- irq is IRQ_PENDING
- enable_irq
- IRQ is lost, needs to be resend.
I'll send the patch to fixup IDE disable_irq logic to Bart.
<chyang@clusterfs.com>
[PATCH] unresolved symbol with moduled intermezzo
This solves the unresolved symbol problem with modular intermezzo. Also
update the MAINTAINERS entry.
<lethal@linux-sh.org>
[PATCH] pvr2fb update
Here's an update for pvr2fb (with a patch this time), which makes it compile
again.
<lethal@linux-sh.org>
[PATCH] PCMCIA: Update hd64465 driver
This patch updates the sh-specific hd64465 pcmcia driver for the new API, as
well as fixing up some other issues (such as remap_page_range() abuse -- we
remap through P3 area instead) which caused it not to compile. Changes by
Dominik Brodowski and myself.
<lethal@linux-sh.org>
[PATCH] shwdt update
This patch includes quite a few changes and updates for the shwdt driver (which
brings it in sync with LinuxSH CVS HEAD). This fixes up support for the SH-2,
and also fixes up some timer brain-damage.
<agrover@groveronline.com>
ACPI: Dynamically allocate SDT list (suggested by Andi Kleen)
<agrover@groveronline.com>
ACPI: Update version, and other trivialities
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: fixed up pci slot_name accesses in usb code
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: fixed up pci slot_name accesses in usb gadget code
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] ia64: Add some devinits to pci.c
These functions can all be devinit as they're all called from functions
which are themselves devinit.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] PCI: remove usages of pci slot_name from the pci core code.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] PCI: remove usages of pci slot_name from acpi pci hotplug driver
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB: convert ISD200 and Jumpshot to DMA-safe buffer
This patch converts the ISD200 and Jumpshot drivers to use the new DMA-safe
buffer.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank Alan Stern, who writes many of
these patches. Without his help, many of the improvements everyone has
seen over the 2.5.x series would not have been possible.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB: remove now-dead mode-translation code
This patch removes all of the mode-translation logic. It's no longer
needed, as the upper-level drivers now all issue the proper 10-byte
commands. This is a large patch, but what it's doing is removing a great
deal of unneeded code -- about 650+ lines removed, according to diffstat.
Those of you who are having some trouble getting your DVD-RAMs detected
properly should have all your problems solved by an upcoming patch from the
SCSI folks. It may look like that problem is related to this patch, but it
isn't -- it's a side-effect of another SCSI patch to consolidate code.
Special thanks to James Bottomley for being patient enough to work with me
on these issues on the SCSI layer.
This, BTW, makes US_FL_MODE_XLATE a NOP. The symbol is kept for the
purpose of allowing unusual_devs.h to be consistent between 2.4 and 2.5
There are still a few places where more code could (potentially) be
removed. I need to mull over the UFI specification to be sure, tho.

[PATCH] ia64: use has_8259 in acpi_register_irq()
acpi_madt is marked as __initdata, so an attempt to use
acpi_register_irq() after we discarded init sections would cause us to
dereference a random location. Everywhere else uses has_8259 anyway.

[PATCH] USB: remove some warnings when building the documentation.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: flush all in-flight urbs _before_ disconnect() is called.
This solves the module unload problem for some usb-serial drivers
(like visor.c and ftdi_sio.c), and makes usb drivers much simpler.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: fix up bluetty driver's tty and devfs names.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: fix up cdc-acm driver's tty and devfs names.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Change per-CPU implementation so that __get_cpu_var() returns the
canonical address (l-value). To get the virtually mapped
alias (which is more efficient), use __ia64_per_cpu_var(). The
latter is safe only if the address of the l-value is never passed
to another CPU (i.e., not stored in any global place).
For extremely efficient, portable per-CPU variables, there is
now a new API local.h which was introduced by Rusty Russell.
To use this, declare a variable of type local_t as a per-CPU
variable and then use {__,}cpu_local_FOO() to manipulate such
variables. This patch also updated the atomic interface with
a 64-bit counter.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: ohci minor tweaks
Two small updates:
- Report short control reads correctly in an exotic case
that our regression tests cover. (Haven't run them with
ohci for a long time, it seems...)
- IRQ non-delivery bugs (ACPI, APIC, etc) can prevent urbs
from unlinking. This prints a warning when that sort of
non-USB bug is biting.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: usb net drivers SET_NETDEV_DEV
I noticed that Viro's "use alloc_etherdev" patch left a
small problem: only "usbnet" did SET_NETDEV_DEV, and
that used the wrong driver model device.
This has all the usb network drivers use SET_NETDEV_DEV,
so the /sys/class/net/*/{device,driver} files link to the
relevant usb interface and to its device driver.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: ethernet gadget learns about pxa2xx udc
The original code needed some updates to work properly with
the USB Device Controller found in Intel's PXA 2xx processors.
- SET_INTERFACE is effectively unusable. So the driver
now has a "minimalist" mode, with none of the bells and
whistles of CDC.
- The config symbol will be CONFIG_USB_PXA2XX, since the
same controller (modulo errata) is in several processors
other than the "older" pxa250.
For the record, that "minimalist" mode was the original idea
behind this driver ... implementing CDC was a win for interop
since most non-MSFT host operating systems support it already,
without needing a new driver.
There were also a few other minor updates:
- Net2280: queue depth shrank a bit, don't use the same
endpoint numbers for the IN and OUT sides. (CATC doesn't
let filters consider direction, just numbers.)
- Join the Jihad! Abolish register_netdev()!! This just
nests the gadget-private data structures inside the
netdev data structure, instead of the other way around.
- Minor cleanups.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: usbtest, autoconfigure from descriptors
Not all gadget controllers support ep2in-bulk and ep2out-bulk,
unlike the EZ-USB (non-FX2) devices or the net2280.
So this patch teaches "usbtest" how to look at the descriptors
it's given, and use the appropriate endpoints. This helps
support Linux test devices using hardware like the pxa2xx UDC,
and other controllers.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: gadget zero learns about pxa2xx udc
The original code needed some updates to work properly with
the USB Device Controller found in Intel's PXA 2xx processors.
- SET_INTERFACE and SET_CONFIGURATION involve hardware
automagic: all endpoints get reset. This is a PITA,
and will likely get more work. (Seems like the reset
is only partial, hosts need to CLEAR_HALT themselves...)
What this does is to handle -ECONNABORTED notifications
from pxa2xx_udc, in those cases. In general, gadget
drivers need to reset endpoints themselves, since the
lower levels (hardware!) won't know how the endpoints
are allocated between interfaces and altsettings.
- The config symbol will be CONFIG_USB_PXA2XX, since the
same controller (modulo errata) is in several processors
other than the "older" pxa250.
- This also adds an "i/o pattern" parameter, so that it
can continue to use the "all zeroes" pattern or switch
to something else. The initial "something else" is an
easily predicted "mod63" pattern.

[PATCH] Incorrect timeout in CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl
The CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl passes a struct cdrom_generic_command from
user space, which contains a timeout field.
The timeout is measured in jiffies, but the conversion from user to
kernel jiffies is missing, which makes the timeout 10 times shorter than
it should be in 2.5 kernels on x86. This causes CDRW formatting with
cdrwtool to fail. The following patch fixes this problem.

[PATCH] Update Technisat Skystar2 DVB driver
This is a follow-up patch to my latest patch series. It fixes the

[PATCH] Allow unattended nfs3/krb5 mounts
The comment in nfs_get_root() basically describes the patch:
Some authentication types (gss/krb5, most notably)
are such that root won't be able to present a
credential for GETATTR (ie, getroot()).
An easy way (ie, without this patch) to have unattended mounts is to
have a root/host@REALM (or similar) principal stashed in a keytab, which
root (rather, gssd) can use. However, this might not be desirable for
many sites. In any case, RFC2623 specifically describes the problem
addressed here.
Notes:
- Root inode gets inum of 1. This doesn't seem to matter, but may be
aesthetically unpleasing. I wanted to choose an inum unlikely to
conflict with an existing inum (although NFS has specific support
for that). It looks like more work than it's worth to change the
inum after the info is available. AFAICT it's not critical info.
- Solaris has this "wierd" (but understandable) behavior that after
mounting without a credential, the mount point is not visible at all
until an access is attempted with a credential. This now-you-see-it-
now-you-don't behavior doesn't seem worthwhile to reproduce here.
- Unfortunately, MOUNT_VERSION must go to 5. Some kernels with ver 4
do not understand pseudoflavor. Keeping it at 4 means that the
userland mount can't know for sure whether the kernel accepted the
option or not. (Unless I'm missing some hack that could be done.)
It works in my environment, against a netapp server (with the rpcsec_gss
patch I provided earlier).

[PATCH] USB: Handle over current inputs on all Intel controllers
This patch for the UHCI driver changes the test for over current inputs,

seems best just to check for Intel being the manufacturer, especially
since it doesn't hurt to check for the condition when it isn't present or
is only temporary.

[PATCH] is_devfsd_or_child() deadlock fix
From: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru>
The code that did proper check existed in 2.4 and was removed in 2.5 for
whatever reason. The patch restores it slightly modified as below.
2.4 code looks somewhat unclean in that
- it traverses task list without lock.
- it starts from current->real_parent but nothing prevents current be
init_task itself. This hung for me on 2.5 during boot. May be 2.4 does
something differently.

[PATCH] remove task_cache entirely
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
kernel/fork.c contains a disabled cache for task stuctures. task
structures are placed into the task cache only if "tsk==current", and
"tsk==current" is impossible. There is even a WARN_ON against that in
__put_task_struct().
So remove it entirely - it's dead code.
One problem is that order-1 allocations are not cached per-cpu - we can
use kmalloc for the stack.

[PATCH] use kmalloc for ia32 stacks
From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>
I've been slab allocating the stack on i386 for some time, and it has gone
without incident in pgcl, -wli, -mjb (?), and so on. kmalloc() is fine;
there isn't any particularly compelling reason for a dedicated slab as
there's no preconstruction to do, though it can be arranged.
Basically, it works, there's no obvious reason not to, and (even better)
it's not totally invisible to the VM and even makes overhead reportable.

[PATCH] fix removable partitioned media with devfs
From: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru>
Current 2.5 does not register any device node in devfs for empty media
(capacity == 0) case. This makes removables unusable with devfs.
Partition rescan is done only on bdev open, but without any device node for
device it is impossible to open it.
In 2.4 it was finally solved by always registering .../disc node as
representation for "whole" disk and using devfsd action to force partition
rescan on access to (non-existing) partition name. For primary names it
was handled internally by devfs - it kept track of removable devices in
directory and initiated partition rescan when name was not found.
Both are obviously broken now. You can't do partition rescan because no
node is registered at all and internal handling was removed. Very nice.
The attached patch makes resgister_disk always register at least disc node.
This now works for old and new compat names as per devfsd configuration;
canonical names are still broken:
{pts/3}% ll /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target4/lun0/part4
ls: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target4/lun0/part4: No such file or directory
but it can be fixed using the same technique as above so I won't push it.

[PATCH] fix return of compat_sys_sched_getaffinity
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

[PATCH] Fix two bugs with process limits (RLIMIT_NPROC)
From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
1/ If a setuid process swaps it's real and effective uids and then forks,
the fork fails if the new realuid has more processes
than the original process was limited to.
This is particularly a problem if a user with a process limit
(e.g. 256) runs a setuid-root program which does setuid() + fork()
(e.g. lprng) while root already has more than 256 process (which
is quite possible).
The root problem here is that a limit which should be a per-user
limit is being implemented as a per-process limit with
per-process (e.g. CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) controls.
Being a per-user limit, it should be that the root-user can over-ride
it, not just some process with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.
This patch adds a test to ignore process limits if the real user is root.
2/ When a root-owned process (e.g. cgiwrap) sets up process limits and then
calls setuid, the setuid should fail if the user would then be running
more than rlim_cur[RLIMIT_NPROC] processes, but it doesn't. This patch
adds an appropriate test. With this patch, and per-user process limit
imposed in cgiwrap really works.

[PATCH] vesafb fix
From: Gerd Knorr <kraxel@suse.de>
The patch below fixes some vesafb issues. Changes:
* fixed struct screen_info in tty.h to use portable types. "unsigned
long" for 32bit values doesn't work on hammer machines ...
* limited the framebuffer memory used by vesafb to 16 MB. This avoids
that vesafb's ioremap() eats plenty of kernel address space for no real
benefit if the gfx card has very much memory (some have 128 MB or more,
ia32 has 128 MB address space for vmalloc and ioremap ...).
* mtrr is enabled by default. That should improve the vesafb performance
a lot. Also added a option to disable mtrr.

[PATCH] dm: 'wait for event' race
From: Joe Thornber <thornber@sistina.com>
There was a race associated with the 'wait for a significant event'
functionality.
Basically userland could read the status table, then wait for another
event, but the event it was waiting for could have occurred in the gap
between reading and waiting.
To solve this we assign identifiers to events, in order to successfully
wait for an event both userland and the kernel driver must be in agreement
about what the last event identifier was. If they don't agree the wait
call will return immediately, allowing userland to re-read the status and
see what it missed.
The new ioctl interface will use this properly.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] dm: v4 ioctl interface
From: Joe Thornber <thornber@sistina.com>
v4 of the ioctl interface. Note there never was a v2 or a v3 except in an
unofficial EVMS way.
This works correctly with the 64-bit dev_t patches in -mm kernels.
There is now a config option to allow the user to select v1 or v4, it
defaults to v1. dm-ioctl.[hc] just #includes dm-ioctl-v[14].[hc] depending
on the config option.
If you want to use v4 you will have to update your tools
(libdevmapper/lvm). The latest tools at the time of writing are:
dmsetup + libdevmapper + replacement kernel patches for 2.4.20 & 2.4.21:
ftp://ftp.sistina.com/pub/LVM2/device-mapper/device-mapper-testing-new-version4-interface.tgz

[PATCH] fix bootmem allocator on machines with holes in
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
If the memory we are trying to allocate is too large to fit in the current
region, we should skip to the end. We currently search the available
bitmap, find the area is too small, increment the start by incr and try
again. This resulted in an apparent lockup on a 64GB machine that had a
3GB IO hole starting at 1GB (and the mem_map array would not fit in the
first region).
Also use ALIGN macro instead of an open coded version.

[PATCH] "Fix" AS i/o hang with aacraid driver
From: Mark Haverkamp <markh@osdl.org>
Mark says:
"Daniel McNeil and I have been debugging a hang with the aacraid driver
using the as I/O scheduler."
We found that scsi_request_fn would de-queue a request and later
re-queued it. This left the as_data->nr_dispatched variable in an
inconsistent state (it was never being decremented back to zero).
We added a call to elv_completed_request to clean up the state before
re-adding the request. This has fixed our hang problem."
It affects other SCSI drivers, but less frequently. We're assuming this is
the cause of several "everything got stuck in D state" reports.
A very long design discussion has ensued. We don't have a suitably tested fix
ready so I think it is best to put Mark's one-liner in there for now, fix it
for real when everyone gets back from OLS.

[PATCH] Rename `nb85e' to `v850e' on v850
The term `nb85e' is incorrect (caused by my confusion when starting the

Because this change renames some files too, it contains a number of
whole-file add/removes.
<miles@lsi.nec.co.jp>
[PATCH] Refactor v850 UART driver
The v850 family contains several related-but-not-identical on-chip
UARTs. This patch factors out the common code and uses it to implement
both types (only one was supported before).
Also, this patch changes the way the v850 UART is initialized, to use
the same method as other linux serial drivers.
This patch renames the UART code to be `v850e_uart' rather than
`nb85e_uart', as the former is more correct. As this change renames
some files too, the patch contains a number of whole-file add/removes.

Fix vfat shortname character logic that had wrong signedness

From Dennis Vshivkov:
"whenever I was trying to create a file using only national
characters for its name, it was always created with an
uppercased shortname (provided that the name was not too
long for 8.3, of course). Everything was fine with latin
filenames, though."
The bug is that we check "buf[0]" as an unsigned character, but
"buf" is just "char *", which (depending on architecture and
compiler options) tends to be signed.

[PATCH] Allow struct members inside percpu macros
The current percpu macros do not allow __get_cpu_var(foo.val1)

variables, designed to catch direct uses. Prepend it instead.

[PATCH] Centralize Linker Symbols
Richard Henderson point out a while back that linker generated symbols

are on x86).
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] introduce "local_t" - cpu-local atomic variables
Introduces local_t, a type which is like atomic_t, but the
operations are only atomic from a single CPU's point of view
(ie. atomic against interrupts and softirqs). Some architectures
(eg. i386) can implement these very efficiently.
There are special operations for the case of a local operation on a
per-cpu variable (which is common), which some architectures can
implement efficiently (eg. IA64 keeps all per-cpu variables mapped
at the same address, so no address arithmetic is needed).
The generic implementation given here simply uses atomics on 32-bit
archs, three variables on others. x86 is already implemented specially.

[PATCH] module_put_and_exit
Author: Neil Brown
Define module_put_and_exit() and use it for nfsd/lockd
Both nfsd and lockd have threads which expect to hold a reference
to the module while the thread is running. In order for the thread
to be able to put_module() the module before exiting, the
put_module code must be call from outside the module.
This patch provides module_put_and_exit in non-modular code which a
thread-in-a-module can call. It also gets nfsd and lockd to use it
as appropriate.
Note that in lockd, we can __get_module in the thread itself as the
creator of the thread is waiting for the thread to startup.
In nfsd and for the 'reclaimer' threaded started by locked, we
__get_module first and put_module if the thread failed to start.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Delete init/cleanup_module prototypes in obscure places.
A few places pre-declare "int module_init(void);" and "void

obsolete-since-2.2 "a function named module_init() magically gets
called": this change frees us up implement that via a macro.

davidm@hpl.hp.com writes:

cpu_possible(), but I can't including smp.h in percpu.h since
that would lead to recusive header-file dependencies (and in my
opinion, percpu.h should be more "primitive" than smp.h, so that
it can be included virtually everywhere)."

[PATCH] Use before initialisation in devfs_mk_cdev()
As noted by Gergely Nagy:
"devfs_mk_cdev() first checks the mode passed to it, and if it thinks

printing involves the local variable `buf' (char buf[64]), which is
not initialised at that point."
The same problem also affects devfs_mk_bdev.

[NET]: remove MOD_* from LAPB.
The MOD_INC and MOD_DEC in lapb are no longer necessary in 2.6 since
the module subsystem will not allow lapb to be unloaded as long as a module
that is referencing the symbols (lapb_register/lapb_unregister) is loaded.

ISDN/HiSax: Move some init code out of line
Again, just introduce do_init() and move some code into it.
It'll be needed in the next cset.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Fix up dynamic registration
Instead of faking a hisax-internal card, just register a card
driven by a submodule directly, which fixes the current crashes
when loading such a driver. This makes use of the just introduced
do_register_isdn() and do_init() helpers.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Export "kstat"
This patch exports the kstat per-cpu variable, needed for
hisax, which uses kstat_irqs() during card probing to make sure
that irqs actually work. This could possibly replaced by a
private counter in the hisax ISRs, but that's really just
unnecessary overhead, since the core kernel already does the work
anyway.

[PATCH] HDLC update
This updates generic HDLC from 1.14 to 1.15.
- fix a kernel panic caused by a recent change to unregister_netdevice()
(struct net_device * can't be kfreed before rtnl_unlock())
- adds carrier_* support - hw drivers report DCD status and higher level
protocols use that info, and do netif_carrier_{on,off}() according to
DCD and (Cisco and FR) link management status.
- moves Frame-Relay constants etc. from include/linux/hdlc.h to hdlc_fr.c.
They are internal FR things and are not needed in the global header.
- protocol hooks are slighty changed to allow zeroing (memset).
- removes CONFIG_HDLC_DEBUG_* variables. Users tend to make very wrong
use of them. Now setting them requires changing .c #define. Anyway they
are development-only things.
- misc style corrections etc.

[PATCH] Optional choice values get reset
Patch by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:
As of 2.5.74, make oldconfig always disables existing optional choices
even if they were selected previously. For example, if all the EICON
ISDN drivers were selected as modules, then make oldconfig will turn
them off.
Part of the problem is that the choice value itself is computed before
the SYMBOL_NEW flag is turned off. This patch addresses that particular
problem.

[PATCH] IDE driver VIA support (obscure bug)
This fixes a *very* obscure bug, which only applies to VIA chipsets that
support UDMA-133 mode, and which is only known to be tickled by one
UDMA-66 hard drive (Maxtor 91360U4) that happens to report 80-wire cable
detection opposite to the ATA standard.
The bug appears in a test to see how the BIOS set up UDMA timing. This
test is only reached when the drive says 80-wire *and* the chipset says
40-wire (which is only known to happen with this drive).
The timing bits that are checked represent clocks T minus 2, i.e., ((N -
2) * T). But Vojtech forgot to subtract 2, and applied N = 8 rather
than N = 6 in the test. Since the test masks the bits at 7, they are
always less than 8, and the test always succeeds, even though the BIOS
set UDMA-33.

[PATCH] m68k page
m68k page updates (from Roman Zippel):
- Set _PAGE_RONLY bit and clear _PAGE_PRESENT to mark PAGE_NONE pte entries
(this also makes PAGE_NONE fixup unnecessary)
- Move _PAGE_FILE to a lower, so pte_to_pgoff/pgoff_to_pte becomes simpler

[PATCH] Rename ariadne2 to zorro8390
Rename ariadne2 to zorro8390, since this driver supports several NS8390-based
Zorro Ethernet cards. Kill all never used occurrencies of CONFIG_NE2K_ZORRO.

[PATCH] NMI watchdog documentation
Documentation/nmi-watchdoc.txt doesn't actually tell what options need to be
enabled in kernel config in order to use NMI watchdog. I for one found it
confusing.
<geert@linux-m68k.org>
[PATCH] Update valkyriefb driver
This updates the valkyriefb driver to the new API.
From Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>:
"It compiles OK, but I haven't been able to test it. I have simplified
the driver quite a bit using the knowledge that there can only ever be
one valkyrie graphics adaptor in a system - it is the built-in
graphics adaptor on various ancient mac and powermac machines, and we
access it at a hard-coded address, so we can only handle one."

[PATCH] Make I/O schedulers optional
Add kconfig options to allow excluding either or both the I/O
schedulers. This can be useful for embedded systems (saves about ~13KB).
All schedulers are enabled by default for non-embedded.

[PATCH] Fix block layer bug handling of partial bvec completion
Noted by Sean Estabrooks:
There is a bug in "ll_rw_blk.c" handling partial bvec submissions.
For whatever reason the floppy driver was triggering it more than
other users (most likely because most other devices tend to be able
to always complete a full request in one go).
Fixed by updating the proper bio vector index entry.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
When zapping the thread list due to an execve(), make sure to
also detach the threads.
Otherwise we'll leave them around as zombies, waiting for them
to be picked up by their parent. Which might be the execve()
thread itself, causing a deadlock.
