(I'm also amazed just how much of that > driver I've forgotten in the last year or two :) OK, so here's a additional patch that fixes that: <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> [netdrvr pcmcia] fix hot unplugging This patch fixes a deadlock which occurs when a PCMCIA card is physically removed, and the netdev interface is then downed. The problem occurs because these drivers delay the call of unregister_netdev until the netdev is downed. Since 2.6 now downs the interface on unregister_netdev(), we can call this function as soon as the card has been removed without waiting for the netdev to be downed. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> net_device and netdev private struct allocation improvements. 1) Ensure alignment of both net_device and private area. 2) Introduce netdev_priv(), an inline which allows the dynamic private area (dev->priv) to be calculated as a constant offset from the base struct net_device at compile time. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [hamradio dmascc] convert embedded net_device to dynamic allocation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [char synclinkmp] convert net_device to dynamic allocation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [pcmcia] synclink_cs] convert net_device to dynamic allocation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [atm clip] convert to using alloc_netdev(), const-offset priv <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr] s/kfree/free_netdev/ where appropriate Affected drivers: ixgb, sk98lin, ibmtr, airport, orinoco, wl3501_cs <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [wireless wl3501_cs] remove unused constructor <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr] convert most 8390 drivers to using alloc_ei_netdev() <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr smc-mca] alloc_ei_netdev(), other fixes Move all initialization between alloc_ei_netdev() and register_netdev(), and fix bugs on error paths. Also s/kfree/free_netdev/ <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr pcnet_cs] alloc_ei_netdev-associated cleanups Create __alloc_ei_netdev() helper, which takes a size argument for allocation of driver-private structures. Use __alloc_ei_netdev in pcnet_cs, for embedded priv struct. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr 8390] convert 8390 lib to use const-offset priv struct <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [NET] s/kfree/free_netdev/ in bridge driver <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr axnet_cs] use embedded private struct <shemminger@osdl.org> [netdrvr skfddi] use PCI hotplug API; other cleanups Third revision of the cleanup of skfddi driver. * use new pci device bus initialization * allocate network device with alloc_fddidev and use dev->priv * get rid of special module/non module distinctions. * fix error unwinds and return values on initialization * call driver_init directly not via register_netdev * reset internal queue count after purge * get rid of h[iy]sterical comment that is no longer true about warnings <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Simplify ifenslave ifenslave lite - No more IP settings to slaves, unified printing format, code re-org and broken to more functions. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Consolidate prints Convert all debug prints to use the dprintk macro and consolidate format of all prints (e.g. "bonding: Error: ..."). <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - death of typedefs Eliminate bonding_t/slave_t types and consolidate casting. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - remove dead code Removed dead code and redundant checks. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Consolidate timer handling Consolidate timers initialization, error checking and re-queuing. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Fix handling of bond->primary Fix all locations that handles bond->primary. Convert too long if-else to a switch-case. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Remove multicast_mode module param Eliminate the multicast_mode module param. Settings are now done only according to mode. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Fix slave list iteration bond is no longer part of the list. Added cyclic list iteration macros. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Consolidate function declarations All functions begin with bond_ Return value, function name and all params are on the same line. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - consolidate param names of function params and variables Consolidate names of function params and variables e.g. bond_dev instead of dev/master/master_dev. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Re-org struct bonding members (re-send) Change names/types for some of the members in struct bonding. Change position of members. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - consolidate return values of functions. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Consolidate conditions & statements Put curly braces around all if, else, for, while, switch statements. Change conditions to short format. g. (ptr == NULL) ==> (!ptr). <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Consolidate error handling in all xmit functions <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Whitespace cleanup Chomp all trailing white space. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - empty lines cleanup Remove duplicate empty lines. add empty lines where needed to improve readability. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - fix indentations. <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Code re-org Code re-organization in bond_main.c according to context (e.g. module initialization, bond initialization, device entry points, monitoring, etc). <shmulik.hen@intel.com> [PATCH] bonding cleanup 2.6 - Fix rejects from previous patches According to Jeff's recommendations: o Put constant expressions in a constant. o Put parentheses in calculations to improve readability. o Remove redundant cast from void pointer. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr ns83820] Switched to sane net_device allocation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr ns83820] Plugs the races around too early register_netdev() <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr ibmlana] ibmlana switched to sane allocation, leaks fixed <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr] A bunch of gratitious ->init() killed; several leaks plugged. Drivers updated: eth1394, baycom_epp, lp486e, plip, 3c359, olympic, tms380tr. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr 8390] Forgotten return 0; removed <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr pcnet32] Added missing check and cleanup for register_netdev() failure in pcnet32 <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [netdrvr ibmtr, ibmtr_cs] cleanup and leak fixes. <jgarzik@redhat.com> [netdrvr bonding] fix broken build <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [irda sa1100_ir] convert to using standard alloc_irdadev() <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> [irda sa1100_ir] "resurrect from bitrot hell" - Don't dereference net device in suspend/resume methods until we know the device data has actually been set. - Remove deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT - System devices in their original form are long since dead. Convert to using a platform device. - Convert to parameters to moduleparam format. - Use register_netdev not register_netdevice - the latter causes us to register "irda%d" as the device name rather than a properly formatted device name. <akpm@osdl.org> [netdrvr] new-probe warning fix <sri@us.ibm.com> [SCTP] provide valid tos and oif values for ip_route_output_key. (ja@ssi.bg) <sri@us.ibm.com> [SCTP] Add sysctl parameters to update socket send/receive buffers. <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] add Bruno Ducrot to CREDITS <jes@wildopensource.com> [ACPI] Check for overflow when parsing MADT entries from Jes Sorensen <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] update passive cooling algorithm from Dominik Brodowski The current algorithm used by Linux ACPI for passive thermal management has two shortcomings: - if increasing the CPU processing power as a thermal situation goes away, throttling states are decreased later than performance states. This is not wise -- it should be the opposite ordering of going "up". - only if the ACPI CPUfreq driver is used, performance states are used. A generalized approach would offer passive cooling even if the ACPI P-States cpufreq driver cannot be used (faulty BIOS, FixedHW access, etc.) <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] remove unnecessary check in acpi-cpufreq driver from Dominik Brodowski The acpi cpufreq driver includes a test at startup which detects whether ACPI P-States are supported on any CPU, and whether transitions work. However, this test is faulty: it is only run _after_ the acpi driver is registered, causing race situations. Also, it doesn't save anything _as_ the driver is already registered. So, it can safely be removed. <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] update _PPC handling -- from Dominik Brodowski updates the _PPC handling. It is handled as a CPUfreq policy notifier which adjusts the maximum CPU speed according to the current platform limit. <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] acpi-cpufreq fixups from Dominik Brodowski - remove unnecessary usage of flags.performance - remove double check of _PPC in acpi-cpufreq driver as it's handled in drivers/acpi/processor.c already - remove unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL - allocation of memory only for probed CPUs - add unregistration function to the core - fix OOPS when PST has core_frequency values of zero - fix cpufreq_get() output - fix /proc/acpi/processor/*/performance write support [deprecated] <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] more acpi-cpufreq fixups from Dominik Brodowski Fix a horribly wrong memcpy instruction in cpufreq_update_policy which caused it to oops. <len.brown@intel.com> fix build error from undefined NR_IRQ_VECTORS <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] quiet numa boot -- from Jes Sorensen <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] USB: gcc-3.5: drivers/usb/gadget/net2280.c drivers/usb/gadget/net2280.c: In function `write_fifo': drivers/usb/gadget/net2280.c:527: error: `typeof' applied to a bit-field drivers/usb/gadget/net2280.c: In function `handle_ep_small': drivers/usb/gadget/net2280.c:2042: error: `typeof' applied to a bit-field <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] USB: gcc-3.5: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: In function `fetch_item': drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c:605: error: invalid lvalue in increment drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c:612: error: invalid lvalue in increment <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] USB: gcc-3.5: drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c: In function `parport_uss720_epp_read_data': drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c:336: error: invalid lvalue in increment drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c: In function `parport_uss720_epp_read_addr': drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c:395: error: invalid lvalue in increment drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c: In function `parport_uss720_epp_write_addr': drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c:415: error: invalid lvalue in increment drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c: In function `parport_uss720_ecp_write_addr': drivers/usb/misc/uss720.c:472: error: invalid lvalue in increment <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] USB: gcc-3.5: drivers/usb/storage/usb.c drivers/usb/storage/usb.c: In function `usb_stor_release_resources': drivers/usb/storage/usb.c:837: error: invalid lvalue in assignment <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] USB: remove unused usb-debug.c file (moving the one used function into the usb.c file.) <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> [PATCH] USB gadget: file_storage.c -- remove device_unregister_wait() It replaces a call to device_unregister_wait() in the File-backed Storage Gadget. <kevino@asti-usa.com> [PATCH] USB: ehci - clear TT buffer command patch I have a patch for a typo in the 2.6.0 kernel, drivers/usb/core/hub.c, in hub_clear_tt_buffer, the value USB_DIR_IN | USB_RECIP_OTHER is used for bmRequestType, when section 11.24.2 of the spec says it should really be USB_RT_PORT, or 00100011b. After limited testing, this change exhibited better recovery from TT errors, here's the patch : <david-b@pacbell.net> [PATCH] USB: fix Bug 1821: sleeping function called > Data point: "visor.c" always passes GFP_ATOMIC there. Here's a patch that makes cdc-acm use GFP_ATOMIC too, and report consequent allocation failures. Compiles but otherwise untested. <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] PCI: add back some pci.ids entries that got deleted in the last big update. <ambx1@neo.rr.com> [PATCH] PCI: Remove uneeded resource structures from pci_dev The following patch remove irq_resource and dma_resource from pci_dev. It appears that the serial pci driver depends on irq_resource, however, it may be broken portions of an old quirk. I attempted to maintain the existing behavior while removing irq_resource. I changed FL_IRQRESOURCE to FL_NOIRQ. Russell, could you provide any comments? irq_resource and dma_resource are most likely remnants from when pci_dev was shared with pnp. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: coding style for cpqphp_pci.c here are some coding style fixes. <geert@linux-m68k.org> [PATCH] I2C: add Hydra i2c bus driver Here's a new version, incorporating these comments, and making a few more changes: - Use struct definition in <asm/hydra.h> instead of #defined offset - Remove flushes are register writes, they are no longer needed - Use pci_resource_start() instead of dev->resource[].start - ioremap() the whole resource instead of the first 256 bytes - Check for errors returned by ioremap() and i2c_bit_add_bus() - Add resource management - Call iounmap() in hydra_remove() instead of in i2c_hydra_exit() - Let I2C_HYDRA depend on I2C and select I2C_ALGOBIT instead of depending on I2C_ALGOBIT <ender@debian.org> [PATCH] I2C: fix typos Following patch fixes two typos and a missing full stop. <david-b@pacbell.net> [PATCH] USB: remove pci_unmap_single() calls from usbcore There's an unnecessary pci-ism in usbcore -- just an oversight in some API conversion, and harmless on most systems. This'll be a good thing to remove for non-PCI HCD support though. <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] proposed fix for AML parameter passing from Bob Moore http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1766 <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] Move the _PSS and _PCT access to drivers/acpi/processor.c so that it can be used by various low-level drivers (centrino, acpi-io, powernow-k{7,8}, ...) from Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] Move the /proc/acpi/processor/./performance output to drivers/acpi/processor.c -- it's the same for all lowlevel drivers. By doing so, the lowlevel drivers no longer need to have access to struct acpi_processor. from Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] Abstract the registration method between low-level drivers and the ACPI Processor P-States driver. from Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] add _PDC support Add support for _PDC to the ACPI processor "Performance States library" (perflib). If this field is empty, a bogus entry is passed to the _PDC method so that the default (io) access is returned again. This patch is partly based on David Moore's patch to arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi.c, sent to the cpufreq mailing list on June 24th, 2003. <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> [ACPI] make # of performance states dynamic from Dominik Brodowski <dsaxena@plexity.net> [PATCH] PCI: Replace pci_pool with generic dma_pool - Move drivers/pci/pool.c to drivers/base/pool.c - Initialize struct device.dma_pools in device_initialize() - Remove initialization of struct pci_dev.pools from pci_setup_device() <dsaxena@plexity.net> [PATCH] PCI: Replace pci_pool with generic dma_pool, part 2 include/linux changes: - Add dma_pools member to struct device - Add include/linux/dmapool.h - Remove pools memober from struct pci_dev - Replace pci_pool_* functions with macros that map to dma_pool_* functions <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] dmapool: use dev_err() whenever we can to get the better information in it. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Whitespace fixes for acpiphp This are some whitespace fixes for acpiphp, in most cases killing spaces before the opening brace of function declarations. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Kill spaces before \n in ibmphp* Don't use a space directly before '\n' in error/debug messages. This adds extra code size, causes unneeded line breaks in xterms, noone else does it and it's just superfluos and ugly. This also adds a missing ")" in a comment. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Kill useless instructions from ibmphp_core.c This kills the explicit setting of rc to -ENODEV in 2 places where it is not necessary because it will have this value on this path anyway. <dlsy@snoqualmie.dp.intel.com> [PATCH] PCI: Patch to get cpqphp working with IOAPIC Here is a patch for to get cpqphp working with IOAPIC. My earlier statement that a kernel patch is not needed for 2.6 is true only when ACPI is enabled. A similar patch is needed in pcibios_enable_irq() for 2.4 kernel and I will send it out later. The fix is in pirq_enable_irq(). This function is called indirectly by pci_enable_device(). For device present during boot up, it should get the proper dev->irq for pcibios_fixup_irqs() has been called to get the dev->irq from MP table. If the value is still zero, then this is properly caused by "buggy MP table". For hot-plug device, its dev->irq is 0 when the pci_enable_device() is called for it hasn't gone through the fixup. Therefore, the code (similiar to the code in pcibios_fixup_irqs) is needed here. <trini@kernel.crashing.org> [PATCH] USB: mark the scanner driver BROKEN Greg, I think this now makes 2 distinct bugs in the scanner kernel driver. Maybe it should be protected with a BROKEN: <shemminger@osdl.org> [PATCH] USB: fix usb hc and shared irq handling Here is a revised version of the irqreturn_t propagation patch. The only difference is now ohci-hcd returns IRQ_HANDLED in the remove case. <dsaxena@plexity.net> [PATCH] USB: remove reference to usb_hcd.refcnt in ohci-sa111.c Following patch against 2.6.2-rc2 removes a reference to what appears to be a deprecated member of struct usb_hcd from the function ohci-sa111.c:usb_hcd_sa1111_remove(). <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> [PATCH] USB gadget: fix usb/gadget/file_storage.c doesn't compile with gcc 2.95 <olh@suse.de> [PATCH] USB storage: fix sign bug in usb-storage datafab 2.6 has no -fsigned-char anymore. there are 3 checks for info->lun < 0 <oliver@neukum.org> [PATCH] USB: fix DMA to stack in tt-usb this driver does DMA to the stack via usb_bulk_msg(). <oliver@neukum.org> [PATCH] USB: fix URB leak in belkin driver if submission of the interrupt URb fails in belkin_sa_open() the previously submitted URB may remain live. The rest of the system thinks that opening failed, therefore the URB should be unlinked in the error case. <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] USB: add support for the Aceeca Meazura device to the visor driver. Thanks to Terry Markovich <terry@avionictools.com> for the information. <khali@linux-fr.org> [PATCH] I2C: Bring w83l785ts in compliance with sysfs naming conventions Here is a patch that brings the w83l785ts driver in compliance with sysfs naming conventions. This is pretty much the same problem and solution that occured very recently with the lm75 and lm78 drivers. The patch was tested to work fine by James Bolt. <khali@linux-fr.org> [PATCH] I2C: Handle read errors in w83l785ts Here is a patch that adds proper read error handling in the w83l785ts driver. This is needed for this driver because on many Asus boards the BIOS or something accesses the chip in our back and causes collisions or something similar that causes many read errors. For now, these errors make the driver return temperature values of -1 from times to times. I have been working with James Bolt on this. See the thread on the lm_sensors mailing list for details. The patch is fairly well tested. It is against 2.6.2-rc3 + your current stack of patches as I know it. The "retry until it works" method is the best I could think of, since we have no information from Asus and I don't expect to get any. If it still doesn't work after an arbitrary number (5) of tries it returns the previously known value and generates an error in the logs. James' tests showed that it will probably never happen though (highest retry count was 3 and happened once out of 3000 reads) unless we lower the arbitrary number (but we don't want to, do we?) I inserted incremental delays as reads fail, I felt like it should help avoid collisions with whatever-is-bugging-us. Seems to work OK, but it's not perfect (since we sometimes need 3 retries) and I didn't test with a different policy (no delay, constant delay or different increment). <khali@linux-fr.org> [PATCH] I2C: add new driver, gl518sm Here comes a new i2c chip driver for Linux 2.6: gl518sm, ported from our CVS repository by Hong-Gunn Chew. I have reviewed Gunn's code and we made a few cleanups and improvements over the original driver. See our complete exchange on the sensors mailing-list for details. <jonsmirl@yahoo.com> [PATCH] Driver core: add hotplug support for class_simple This is needed by the DRI code. <eugene.teo@eugeneteo.net> [PATCH] Kobject: export some missing symbols <david-b@pacbell.net> [PATCH] PCI: dma_pool fixups <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI: avoid two returns directly after each other in pcidriver.c This avoids a return direct before the final return of a function. Better only modify the return code and fall through to the final return. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Coding style fixes for drivers/pci/hotplug.c <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: very small optimisations for ibmphp_pci.c <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: kill hpcrc from several functions in ibmphp_core.c This patch kills the variable hpcrc from many places. It is used as a temporary storage for the return code before this is copied to rc which contains the "real" return code. There are some checks if to copy or not but at the end they will always have the same value, so we can directly put the return code in rc and kill hpcrc. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: make ibm_unconfigure_device void ibm_unconfigure_device always returns 0, so we do not need to check for a return value != 0 and can kill the warning. And if the return value is always the same we don't need a return value. Also some whitespace fixing. And this time not line wrapped. Really. Absolutely sure. Checked twice. <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] I2C: fix oops when CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE is enabled and the bttv driver is loaded. <colpatch@us.ibm.com> [PATCH] PCI: fix "pcibus_class" Device Class, release function John Rose wrote: > The function release_pcibus_dev() in probe.c defines the release procedure for > device class pcibus_class.

The natural place to do this IMHO is in pci_remove_bus_device() > in remove.c. You're right that the class device isn't currently unregistered, and that was an oversight in the patch I originally sent. Attatched is a patch that remedies that situation. pci_remove_bus_device() *is* the natural place to unregister the class_dev, and that's just what the patch does. > The problem is that this calls pci_destroy_dev(), which calls put() on the same > "bridge" device that the release function does. This should only be done once > in the course of removing a pci_bus, and I doubt that we want to change > pci_destroy_dev(). The kfree() of the pci_bus struct is also done in both > pci_remove_bus_device() and release_pcibus_dev(). Yep. The patch pulls the kfree() out of pci_remove_bus_device() and calls class_device_unregister() in it's place. This will put() the bridge device and free the pci_bus as needed. put() does need to be called twice because the bridge device is get()'d twice: once when the device is registered and once when it's bus device grabs a reference to it. <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] Driver core: remove device_unregister_wait() as it's a very bad idea. <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] dmapool: Remove sentance in documentation that is now false on 2.6 <scholnik@radar.nrl.navy.mil> [PATCH] USB: fix Casio digicam entry in unusual_devs.h <tony@atomide.com> [PATCH] USB: Update ohci-omap to compile Following is a trivial patch to update the ohci-omap.c in 2.6.2 to be in sync with the OMAP tree.

The patch itself is quite big, which is mostly due to the C99 initializers and the fact that diff doesn't like moving code around. This has been compile-tested in various configurations, the substantive changes were discussed on the acpi4asus mailing list. The code should apply to current bk (both for 2.4 and 2.6). The patch is also available here: http://hell.org.pl/~sziwan/asus/acpi4asus-0.26-0.27.diff Thanks to all the contributors (notably Pontus Fuchs) to this release. <corbet@lwn.net> [PATCH] Char drivers: cdev_unmap() To recap my argument: the current cdev implementation keeps an uncounted reference to every cdev in cdev_map. Creators of cdevs must know to call cdev_unmap() with the same arguments they passed to cdev_add() before releasing the device, or that reference will remain and will oops the kernel should user space attempt to open the (missing) device. It's an easy mistake to make, and, IMO, entirely unnecessary; the cdev code should be able to do its own bookkeeping. <shemminger@osdl.org> [PATCH] USB: uhci - unused urbp element The usb device member in the urb private structure is redundant, it is set but never used. <david-b@pacbell.net> [PATCH] USB: USB misc OHCI updates Here are three minor OHCI changes: * Turn off periodic dma transfers until they're needed. Extra DMAs consume power, and can trigger problems on marginal systems. * New module param "power_switching" (default false). Many boards will have no problems with this mode. It makes OHCI act more like most external hubs and like EHCI. * Minor SMP cleanup affecting display-only usbfs statistics. On one system, turning off the periodic DMAs made two of the four active OHCI controllers work in cases that previously triggered "Unrecoverable Error" IRQs. <msdemlei@cl.uni-heidelberg.de> [PATCH] USB: DSBR-100 tiny patch Fix timy errors in comments and strings. <eike-hotplug@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Convert error paths in ibmphp to use goto This patch converts the error paths in several functions in ibmphp to use goto to the end of the function to kill code duplication.

Since this requires checksumming an entire request, instead of just the header, and since the request may include, for example, pages with write data, we modify the gss_api routines to pass xdr_bufs instead of xdr_netobjs where necessary. We add rpcauth_wrap_req and rpcauth_unwrap_resp to rpcauth.c, wrappers for the new rpc cred ops crwrap_req and crunwrap_req, which are called just before encoding, and just after decoding, respectively. <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> RPCSEC_GSS: Move the gss sequence number history from the task structure to the request structure, where it makes more sense.

Thanks to Andre Tomt <andre@tomt.net> for help in debugging this. <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com> [PATCH] Fix pc300_tty.c -> implement tiocmset/tiocmget PC300 MLPPP support is currently marked broken in 2.6.x. To fix that, attached patch implements tiocmset/tiocmget methods on the pc300_tty.c driver, which is the new method tty drivers are supposed to use instead ioctl. This fixes two related issues in the ioctl handler: - ioctl requesting RTS signal would affect DTR signal - The RTS signal is now handled. Bonus: Throw out unused ioctl handler <greg@kroah.com> PCI: remove stupid MSI debugging code that was never used. <greg@kroah.com> PCI: move pci_msi.h out of include/linux to drivers/pci where it belongs. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [WANROUTER]: Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() where applicable. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [PACKET]: Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() where applicable. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPVS]: Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() where applicable. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPV4/IGMP]: Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() where applicable. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [NETFILER/ipt_REJECT]: Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() where applicable. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPV6]: Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() where applicable. <sri@us.ibm.com> [SCTP] Removed SCTP specific rmem/wmem sysctl's and use the global rmem_default/wmem_default values for SCTP socket buffer sizes. <david-b@pacbell.net> [PATCH] USB: re-factor enumeration/reset paths This patch starts dis-entangling some of the enumeration logic by moving initialization code into the usb_alloc_dev() constructor. Some call signatures changed; a usbcore-internal declaration was moved in <linux/usb.h> to a more appropriate location. With the driver model init now more centralized, it's safer to use driver model calls (including dev_info) a lot earlier, so the "new device at address N" message now does that. It also reports the device speed, which may not be evident otherwise. <petri.koistinen@iki.fi> [PATCH] USB: usb-storage Kconfig_URL_update Here is little URL update for Kconfig file.

Here's a patch to take care of it. Alexander, does this work for you? <greg@kroah.com> [PATCH] USB: fix bug number 1980 about keyspan devices not getting recognized. <khali@linux-fr.org> [PATCH] I2C: add new chip driver: fscher This is a new ported driver, fscher, which supports the FSC Hermes chip. The original driver was written by Reinhard Nissl, who also ported it to Linux 2.6, as discussed on the lm_sensors mailing list during the last two weeks. I reviewed the code and we made the necessary changes, so that what we have now looks good to me. Please apply on top of your i2c patches stack. <greg@kroah.com> Driver Core: fix up list_for_each() calls to list_for_each_entry() Now this should get that Rusty^Wmonkey off my back... <greg@kroah.com> dmapool: fix up list_for_each() calls to list_for_each_entry() Now this should get that Rusty^Wmonkey off my back... <petri.koistinen@iki.fi> [PATCH] USB: drivers/usb/media/Kconfig URL fixups Here is patch for linux-2.6/drivers/usb/media/Kconfig. <torvalds@home.osdl.org> Add forward-declaration of "struct nfs4_client" to make nfs_idmap.h independent of CONFIG_NFS4 and other header files. <torvalds@home.osdl.org> Clean up dentry pointer validation by moving it into a function of its own. This also allows us to do a better job, since slab.c can now do more proper tests. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] NFS: fix for older gcc's From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Fix for proper C99 designated initializer, and avoid warning from missing (unreachable - but gcc doesn't know it) return. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: Ultra sendto support. <Original patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [CORRECT] Always initialise Ultra packet/header size. o [CORRECT] Don't allow Ultra send on unbound sockets if no dest address is given. o [FEATURE] Properly support Ultra sendto on unbound sockets. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: IrLAP disconnection pending race. o [FEATURE] Don't drop IrLAP connection is we *just* received an incomming IrLMP connection request. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: Remove net notifier. <Patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [FEATURE] remove unused code : device notifier handler. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: nsc-ircc irq retval <Patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [CORRECT] Better handling of shared IRQs in nsc-ircc driver. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: ali-ircc irq retval <Patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [CORRECT] Better handling of shared IRQs in ali-ircc driver. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: smsc-ircc2 irq retval <Patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [CORRECT] Better handling of shared IRQs in smsc-ircc2 driver. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: via-ircc irq retval <Patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [CORRECT] Better handling of shared IRQs in via-ircc driver. <jt@bougret.jpl.hp.com> [IRDA]: w83977af_ir irq retval <Patch from Stephen Hemminger> o [CORRECT] Better handling of shared IRQs in w83977af_ir driver. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Remove duplicated HPPA bits in kernel/sysctl.c From: "Art Haas" <ahaas@airmail.net> The following patch removes the duplicated sysctl entries for 'soft-power' and 'unaligned-trap' for HPPA users. Immediately before these lines these two entries exist in a C99-style format. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] getxattr error checking fix From: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>, Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> XFS regression tests tripped a couple of problems with the recent xattr fix. When a size of 0 is passed in, the getxattr and listxattr syscalls return the size that would be required for the value or list of names, without actually returning the value. The previous patch accidentally removed this test, and so querying the required size broke. <torvalds@home.osdl.org> Linux 2.6.3-rc2 (Log in to post comments)
