	* There is a user selectable flag droponfull.  Set to 1 and
	  any new bytes delivered to the driver after the buffer fills
	  up will be discarded until the buffer is able to flush some
	  bytes.
	* If droponfull==0 (or is not set, the default is 0), the driver
	  proceeds to block further input by not calling
	  snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() and aborting the attempt.  It will
	  try again later.
	* I've redone a bit of the interface for the buffer routines.
	  This was done to support the proper blocking/non-blocking methods
	  as spelled out above, and to try to protect the buffer data a bit.

	[PATCH] remove dev_get from wanrouter
	
	The call to dev_get() in wanrouter_device_new_if is racy and redundant and should
	be removed.  The later 'register_netdev()' does the same test internally and will
	return the appropriate error if the name already exists.
	
	This patch is against 2.6.0-test6.
	Resend of earlier patch because it was ignored, or missed.

	Probably, by my mistake in previous mail. Sorry.  This still has the
	races condition. It can trigger the same problem by shared interrupt
	on SMP.
	
	Probably the following ISR style should use the below combination.
	
	   in ISR
		if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(dev)) {
			RTL_W16 (IntrMask, rtl8139_norx_intr_mask);
			__netif_rx_schedule(dev);
		}
	
	   in ->poll
		local_irq_disable();
		RTL_W16_F(IntrMask, rtl8139_intr_mask);
		__netif_rx_complete(dev);
		local_irq_enable();
	
	
	And another one should use the below combination.  (this style can
	change the flags of __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED or __LINK_STATE_START anytime)
	
	   in ISR
		if (status & RxAckBits) {
			RTL_W16_F (IntrMask, rtl8139_norx_intr_mask);
			netif_rx_schedule (dev);
		}
	
	   in ->poll
		local_irq_disable();
		__netif_rx_complete(dev);
		RTL_W16_F(IntrMask, rtl8139_intr_mask);
		local_irq_enable();
	
	   If happen the shared interrupt, the this ISR style may lose a
	   chance of netif_rx_schedule().
	
	
	Anyway, the following patch should fix the problem. Please apply.
	
	Thanks.

	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.

	  the polarity is reversed by mistake.

	[CPUFREQ] Silence powernow-k7 when built as a module.
	(Pavel Machek)

<davej@redhat.com>
	[CPUFREQ] fix up CPU detection in p4-clockmod
	<Dominik Brodowski>
	
	Too many users use the p4-clockmod cpufreq driver instead of the more
	advanced speedstep-centrino, speedstep-ich or even acpi drivers. All of the
	latter (usually) provide voltage scaling, while the p4-clockmod driver only
	offers a variant of frequency scaling. So, warn users if they try out this
	driver instead.
	                                                                                               
	Also, instead of using a local copy, use the speedstep_lib infrastructure
	for detecting the processor speed. Adding the Pentium-M get_frequency
	function to that module only costs about 200 bytes in object size.

	[PATCH] SCSI tape cdev fixes for 2.6.2-rc1
	
	The patch at the end of this message fixes the following problems:
	
	- cdev allocation moved outside st_dev_arr_lock, prevents the debugging
	error messages reported by Mike and Mike
	- cdev_unmap() added before cdev_del(), prevents oops (and kernel data
	corruption) in case someone tries to use a device after removing the
	module
	- better error handling for failures in cdev allocation
	
	As far as I am concerned, the patch is tested but testing by others might
	be useful :-)

	changes in the aha152x driver:
	- gather code that is not used by PCMCIA at the end
	- move request_region for !PCMCIA case to detection
	- migration to new scsi host api (remove legacy code)
	- free host scribble before scsi_done
	- fix error handling
	- one isapnp device added to id_table
	
	and in the pcmcia stub module:
	- default to synchronous transfers
	- release_region hack removed
	- let core module do the scsi host api calls.

	Ouch.  No, of course not, you are right.  Thanks for pointing.  I

	Following patch cleans that up.
	
	The port test during autoconfiguration was also done without requesting

	[PATCH] aha1542: queuecommand: change panic() to return
	
	From: Timmy Yee <shoujun@masterofpi.org>
	
	The aha1542 driver calls panic() if kmalloc() fails, which it shouldn't
	do. This patch changes that by having the code return a nonzero value, so
	it tells the SCSI mid-layer to retry the command, as suggested by Randy.

	[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.

	qla2xxx - perform proper SNS scans with ISP2200 HBAs. [1/3]
	
	From: 	Andrew Vasquez <andrew.vasquez@qlogic.com>
	
	The 2200 firmware doesn't support the MS IOCB interface the driver 
	uses to issue CT commands to the SNS.  Basically, I had to 
	forward-port some code from the 6.x driver to get the SNS calls

	RIO mode 3 (originally used in the qla2xxx driver) will not work on
	big-endian platforms due to the firmware returning only the first-word
	of the dword command handle returned after SCSI completion.  Use RIO
	mode 4 since full 32bit handle is returned during status.
	
	I've recently added an IBM p630 machine (ppc64) to my test ring with a
	mix of 2200 and 2300 cards -- I feel fairly confident that most endian

	[PATCH] fix badness in scsi_single_lun_run
	
	This patch against recent mainline bk removes the bogus WARN_ON for

	We clear the starget_sdev_user, and immediately blk_run_queue for the LUN
	that just issued IO. Another LUN could race in scsi_request_fn, but it is
	most likely that the last user will get there first, and reset
	starget_sdev_user. If it does not, it will have to wait for the other LUN

	[PATCH] change scsi_cmd_ioctl to take a gendisk instead of a queue
	
	This patch against a recent bk 2.6 changes scsi_cmd_ioctl to take a

	devices to use the scsi_cmd_ioctl interface.
	
	In turn, change bio_map_user to also pass a request_queue_t, and add a
	__bio_add_page helper that takes a request_queue_t.
	
	Tested ide cd burning with no problems.
	
	If the scsi upper level scsi_cmd_ioctl usage were consolidated in
	scsi_prep_fn, we could pass a request_queue_t instead of a gendisk to

	- Test eh_host_reset_handler
	- Test as module
	- Straighten out FlashPoint conditional compile so it doesn't
	  require #include "FlashPoint.c".

	[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.

	[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).

	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.

	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.

	[PATCH] Fix race in sched_exit()
	
	From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
	
	Fix a race on sleep_avg in sched_exit().
	
	The symptom I saw on 64-bit s390 has been a fixpoint divide exception
	because sleep_avg had a value > NS_MAX_SLEEP_AVG.  I tracked it down and
	the problem is sched_exit which recalculates the parents sleep average
	without taking the runqueue lock.  schedule() subtracts run_time from
	sleep_avg of the previous process.  This can turn out negative and is
	corrected shortly after the subtraction but that is already too late.
	sched_exit() already read the negative value an miscalculated the parents
	sleep_avg -> bang.
	
	I fixed this by adding task_rq_lock/task_rq_unlock to sched_exit().

	The following patch makes PPC601_SYNC_FIX depend on PPC_PMAC || PPC_PREP.
	It used to depend on ALL_PPC I believe, but this was (at least
	semi-intentionally I gather) backed out.  The last time this was discussed,
	the only platforms old enough to have a 601 to support were pmacs and

	[PATCH] quiet down SMP boot messages
	
	From: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org>
	
	I'd like to propose the following for 2.6.1-mm/2.6.2. On systems with a
	large number of CPUs the number of printk's flowing by for each CPU
	booting starts becoming a real console hog.
	
	The following patch eliminates a couple of them (already sent a patch to
	David for the ia64 specific ones) as well as changes the
	"Building zonelist : X" in "Built Y zonelists". IMHO it doesn't make any
	sense to print for each zonelist since it's run in a for loop running
	from 0 to Y-1 anyway.
	
	The patch nukes a few new printk's that were introduced with the
	scheduler changes to the NUMA code in -mm3, if these are still needed
	then I won't fight for that part of the patch.

	[PATCH] lock_cpu_hotplug only if CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG
	
	From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
	
	The cpucontrol mutex is not required when no cpus can go up and down.
	Andrew wrote a wrapper for it to avoid #ifdefs, this expands that to only
	be defined for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, and uses it everywhere.
	
	The only downside is that the cpucontrol lock was overloaded by my recent
	patch to net/core/flow.c to protect it from reentrance, so this
	reintroduces the local flow_flush_sem.  This code isn't speed critical, so
	taking two locks when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y is not really an issue.

	[PATCH] Fix more gcc 3.4 warnings
	
	From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
	
	Just many more warning fixes for a gcc 3.4 snapshot.
	
	It warns for a lot of things now, e.g.  for ?: and ({ ...  }) and casts as
	lvalues.  And for functions marked inline in headers, but no body.
	
	Actually there are more warnings, i stopped fixing at some point.  Some of
	the warnings seem to be dubious (e.g.  the binfmt_elf.c one, which looks
	more like a compiler bug to me)
	
	I also fixed the _exit() prototype to be void because gcc was complaining
	about this.

	[PATCH] string fixes for gcc 3.4
	
	From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
	
	gcc 3.4 optimizes sprintf(foo,"%s",string) into strcpy.  Unfortunately that
	isn't seen by the inliner and linux/i386 has no out-of-line strcpy so you
	end up with a linker error.
	
	This patch adds out of line copies for most string functions to avoid this.
	Actually it doesn't export them to modules yet, that would be the next
	step.
	
	BTW In my opinion we shouldn't use inline string functions at all.  The
	__builtin_str* in modern gcc are better (I used them very successfully on
	x86-64) and for the bigger functions like strrchr,strtok et.al.  it just
	doesn't make any sense to inline them or even code them in assembler.
	
	Also fix the bcopy prototype gcc was complaining about.

	[PATCH] bitmap parsing/printing routines, version 4
	
	From: Joe Korty <joe.korty@ccur.com>
	
	1) the version in 2.6.1 is broken, doesn't work on 64bit big endian
	   machines at all.  This needed fixing.  I thought it best to fix by
	   rewriting the printer/parser with an algorithm that is naturally endian &
	   sizeof(long) resistant.
	
	2) I wanted all digits to print, eg, 0000ffff,00000004 not ffff,4.
	
	3) I wanted exactly NR_CPUS bits to print (or whatever the bitmap size is
	   in bits, and not have what is displayed rounded up to the nearest full
	   byte, as the current version did.
	
	4) The bitmap printer and parser should be part of bitmap.[ch] with syntax
	   and semantics to match.  The original lib/mask.c versions did not
	   recognize this commonality.

	[PATCH] add readX_relaxed() interface
	
	From: jbarnes@sgi.com (Jesse Barnes)
	
	Here's the patch to add the new _relaxed variants for PIO read accesses.
	It's been ack'd by gregkh and Grant Grundler, and I think it's ready to
	go.
	
	PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive after any
	outstanding DMA writes on that bus, since for some devices the result of a
	readb() call may signal to the driver that a DMA transaction is complete.  In
	many cases, however, the driver may want to indicate that the next readb()
	call has no relation to any previous DMA writes performed by the device.  The
	driver can use the readb_relaxed() for these cases, although only some
	platforms will honor the relaxed semantics.

	[PATCH] EDD: read disk80 MBR signature, export through edd module
	
	From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
	
	
	There are 4 bytes in the MSDOS master boot record, at offset 0x1b8,
	which may contain a per-system-unique signature.  By first writing a unique
	signature to each disk in the system, then rebooting, and then reading the
	MBR to get the signature for the boot disk (int13 dev 80h), userspace may
	use it to compare against disks it knows as named /dev/[hs]d[a-z], and thus
	determine which disk is the BIOS boot disk, thus where the /boot, / and
	boot loaders should be placed.
	
	This is useful in the case where the BIOS is not EDD3.0 compliant, thus
	doesn't provide the PCI bus/dev/fn and IDE/SCSI location of the boot disk,
	yet you need to know which disk is the boot disk.  It's most useful in OS
	installers.
	
	This patch retrieves the signature from the disk in setup.S, stores it in a
	space reserved in the empty_zero_page, copies it somewhere safe in setup.c,
	and exports it via /sys/firmware/edd/int13_disk80/mbr_signature in edd.c.
	Code is covered under CONFIG_EDD=[ym].

	[PATCH] Trivial cleanups for swsusp
	
	From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
	
	This kills unused part of struct and fixes spelling.
	
	It also fixes codingstyle a bit, converts "can not happen" panic into BUG_ON
	(fill_suspend_header() allocates no memory so panic is meaningless) and adds
	check for sizeof (struct link) [if that is not PAGE_SIZE, we have *bad*
	problem, better check early].

	[PATCH] Allow software_suspend to fail
	
	From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
	
	software_suspend() can fail for quite a lot of reasons (for example not
	enough swapspace).  However current interface returned void, so you could
	not propagate error back to userland.  This fixes it.  Plus
	__read_suspend_image() is only done during init time, so we might as well
	mark it __init.

	[PATCH] vmalloc address offset fix
	
	From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
	
	Paul wrote a patch to use some of the rmap infrastructure to flush TLB
	entries on ppc64.  When testing it we found a problem in vmalloc where it
	sets up the pte -> address mapping incorrectly.  We clear the top bits of
	the address but then forget to pass in the full address to
	pte_alloc_kernel.  The end result is the address in page->index is
	truncated.
	
	I fixed it in a similar way to how zeromap_pmd_range etc does it.  I'm
	guessing no one uses the rmap hooks on vmalloc pages yet, so havent seen
	this problem.

	[PATCH] Make naming of parititions in sysfs match /proc/partitions.
	
	From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
	
	In fs/partitions/check.c  there are two pieces of code that add a
	partition number to a block-device name:
	
	  - the 'disk_name' function
	  - a snprintf in add_partitions.
	
	'disk_name' inserts a 'p' before the partition number if the device
	name ends with a digit.  The snprintf in add_partitions doesn't.
	
	This patch rectifies this anomoly so that names in sysfs can be
	parsed more reliably.
	
	
	This has been extensively discussed.  It will probably break the external
	`iostat' tool.  But only for disks whose name ends in a digit, which appears
	to be only DAC960.

	[PATCH] fix blockdev --getro for sr, sd, ide-floppy
	
	From: John McKell <mckellj@iomega.com>
	
	This 2.6.1 patch works by setting gendisk->policy to the correct value
	during initialization as the various drivers decide whether or not the disk
	is writeable.  This patch persuades "blockdev --getro ..." to correctly
	report the read-only state of a newly inserted disk.  This patch applies to
	sr.c, sd.c and ide-floppy.c.  ide-cd.c already has this functionality built
	into it.
	
	Using an Iomega Zip drive as the test case...
	
	Without the patch, I always see:
	
	$ sudo blockdev --getro /dev/sda
	0
	$
	
	That's only correct for writeable disks though.  Only when the patch
	is applied do I see a write-protected disk described correctly:
	
	$ sudo blockdev --getro /dev/sda
	1
	$

	Some architectures use cpu_vm_mask to optimise TLB flushes.  On ppc64 we
	are now using a common flush infrastructure that handles both userspace and
	kernelspace (vmalloc) pages.  In order to avoid triggering this
	optimisation we need to mark the init mm as having scheduled on all cpus.
	
	Things currently work by luck (we check for the cpu only having run on the
	local cpu, and the field is initialised to 0), but it would be safer to
	initialise it CPU_MASK_ALL.

	[PATCH] Fix deep stack usage in ncpfs
	
	From: Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>
	
	
	Arjan van de Ven pointed out to me there are no checks on name component
	lengths in ncpfs, so potentially 4KB regions could be allocated on stack,
	leading to the user controlled stack overflow.
	
	It was using variable-sized arrays, so this snuck past the static
	stack-usage checking tools.
	
	As NCP is limited to 255 bytes on components, we can simple limit these
	local variables to 256 bytes, and after this stack usage looks more
	acceptable.  Length checking occurs inside ncp_vol2io, during
	iocharset->codepage conversion.
	
	As a side effect support for multibyte codepages now works as it should,
	instead of returning -EINVAL whenever filename in 'codepage' encoding was
	longer than in 'iocharset'.
	
	Other part fixes typo where atime change updated ctime and not atime field.

	[PATCH] md: Move the test in preferred_minor to where it is used.
	
	From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
	
	A RAID superblock can indicate which minor number the array should be
	assembled under.  As this is only meaningful when doing auto-start, we move
	the test for it being in the valid range to the place where auto-start
	happens.  When an array is started any other way, it doesn't matter what
	value is here.

	[PATCH] /proc/paritions: omit removable media
	
	From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
	
	If programs like mount use /proc/partitions to find filesystems based on
	labels, then surely we want md devices in there as they often contain
	filesystems.
	
	If the problem is that mount-by-label takes forever with removable media
	then surely the "right" approch is the following patch, and then actually
	set this flag on the "floppy.c" device.  (It is already set for ide-floppy
	and sd devices).

	[PATCH] Remove memblks from the kernel
	
	From: "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>
	
	This patch removes memblks from the kernel ...  we don't use them, and the
	NUMA API that was planning to use them when they were originally designed
	isn't going to use them anymore.  They're just unnecessary added complexity
	now ...  time for them to go.
	
	There's a slight complication in that ia64 uses something with a similar
	name for part of its memory layout, but Jes Sorensen kindly untangled them
	from each other for us.  The patch with his modifications is below.  Jes
	tested it on ia64, and I testbuilt it with every config in my arsenal.

	[PATCH] posix_timers fixes
	
	From: George Anzinger <george@mvista.com>
	
	- Removes C++ comment in favor of C style.
	
	- Removes the special treatment for MIPS SIGEV values.  We only require
	  (and error if this fails) that the SIGEV_THREAD_ID value not share bits
	  with the other SIGEV values.  Note that mips has yet to define this value
	  so when they do...
	
	- Corrects the check for the signal range to be from 1 to SIGRTMAX
	  inclusive.
	
	- Adds a check to verify that kmem_cache_alloc() actually returned a timer,
	  error if not.
	
	- Fixes a bug in timer_gettime() where the incorrect value was returned if
	  a signal was pending on the timer OR the timer was a SIGEV_NONE timer.

	[PATCH] Zero last byte of mount option page.
	
	From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
	
	Here's a patch which zeroes the last byte of the mount option data copied
	from userspace during mount(2).
	
	For filesystems which parse mount options as strings (the majority), lack
	of a zero terminator could cause the page to be overrun.  The source code
	comments specify that the maximum size of the mount data is PAGE_SIZE-1, so
	this patch will not affect any valid binary-formatted mount data.

	2) To avoid make utilising chained rules, and therefore issuing a 'rm

	I have previously submitted a few patches for logo/Makefile, but this is the
	first one that actually address the problems I have seen in a proper way.
	
	And no, I did not like such a simple thing to look that complicated, the
	other option was to list too many files or to use other types of kbuild/make
	magic.

	[PATCH] Fine tune the time conversion to eliminate conversion errors.
	
	From: George Anzinger <george@mvista.com>
	
	The time conversion code is erroring on the side of a bit too small.  The
	attached patch forces any error to be on the high side.  The current code will
	convert 1 nanosecond to zero jiffies (standard says that should be 1).  It also
	is around 1 nanosecond late on each roll to the next jiffie.
	
	I have done some error checks with this patch applied and get the following
	errors in PPB ( Parts Per Billion):
	
	HZ     nano sec conversion     microsecond conversion
	1000    315                      45
	1024    227                      40
	100     28                       317
	
	In all cases the error is on the high side, which means that the final shift
	will, most likely, eliminate the error bits.

	This patch fixes menuconfig so it can display help text for individual

	Previously it would only display the help text attached to the "choice"
	item.  There was no way to display the help attached to individual config
	entries inside the choice group.  Typically, the "choice" item has no help
	text, and all the useful help is attached to the individual entries, so
	this was a bit of a problem.

	From: Pratik Solanki <pratik.solanki@timesys.com>

	[PATCH] is_subdir locking fix
	
	From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>
	
	o The following patch fixes is_subdir() races with d_move. Due to concurrent
	  d_move, in is_subdir() we can end up accessing freed d_parent pointer in
	  case of pre-emptible kernel. To avoid this we can use rcu_read_lock() and
	  rcu_read_unlock().
	
	o This also fixes the seqlock uses in is_subdir() as we need to restart the
	  the inner loop with the origianl new_dentry passed to the routine in case
	  of any rename occured while we are traversing d_parent links.

	[PATCH] Use address hint in mmap for search
	
	From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
	
	When the user gave an address hint in mmap use it as starting point for the
	search for !MAP_FIXED.
	
	Currently it is only checked directly and when already used the free area
	cache is used as starting point.  With this change you can use mmap(4096,
	....) to e.g.  get the lowest free address in your address space, which is
	sometimes useful.  For example on x86-64 glibc wants to preferably allocate
	thread local data in the first 4GB but use higher addresses when this is
	not possible.
	
	This can be a bit more costly in CPU time because it may have to skip over
	more VMAs, but gives better semantics for most cases.  Most programs pass
	NULL as hint anyways so it won't make any difference for them.
	
	I did it for the generic mmap and for x86-64 for now.  Also minor white
	space fixes for x86-64.

	[PATCH] shrink_list(): check PageSwapCache() after add_to_swap()
	
	From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM>
	
	shrink_list() checks PageSwapCache() before calling add_to_swap(), this
	means that anonymous page that is going to be added to the swap right
	now these checks return false and:
	
	 (*) it will be unaccounted for in nr_mapped, and
	
	 (*) it won't be written to the swap if gfp_flags include __GFP_IO but
	     not __GFP_FS.
	
	(Both will happen only on the next round of scanning.)
	
	Patch below just moves may_enter_fs initialization down. I am not sure

	[PATCH] Move cpu_vm_mask to be closer to mmu_context_t in struct mm
	
	From: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com>
	
	The cpu_vm_mask use to be close to the mmu_context_t field in the mm
	struct.  Recently some large members were added between "cpu_vm_mask" and
	"context".  I suspect that was an oversight.
	
	Here is a patch that puts the fields close together.  This makes it likely
	that both fields are in the same cache line.  Since both fields are likely
	to be updated at the same time, this may improve performance.

	[PATCH] PCI Scan all functions
	
	From: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com>
	
	On a ppc64 logically partitioned system, there can be a setup where function
	0 of a PCI-PCI bridge is assigned to one partition and (for example) function
	2 is assigned to a second partition.  On the second partition, it would
	appear that function 0 does not exist, but function 2 does.  If all the
	functions are not scanned, everything under function 2 would not be detected.
	
	This patch allows devices that don't respond to function 0, but do respond to
	other functions to be marked with a quirk and have all of their functions
	scanned.

	[PATCH] Fix ptrace in the vsyscall dso area
	
	From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
	
	The #include is the part of this patch that matters, so the #ifdef below
	works.
	
	The rest of the patch removes gratuitous duplication due to some strange
	aversion to concision in the presence of #ifdef, the kind that is all too
	common, utterly pointless, and error prone.

<sct@redhat.com>
	[PATCH] Fix block device inode list corruptions
	
	I've been chasing a weird SELinux bug which shows up mostly when doing
	installs of a dev-* rpm (ie. creating and overwriting lots of block
	device inodes), but which I've also seen when doing mkinitrd.
	
	It turned out not to be an SELinux problem at all, but a core VFS
	S_ISBLK bug.  It seems that SELinux simply widens the race window.
	
	The code at fault is fs/fs-writeback.c:__mark_inode_dirty():
	
			/*
			 * Only add valid (hashed) inodes to the superblock's
			 * dirty list.  Add blockdev inodes as well.
			 */
			if (!S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode)) {
				if (hlist_unhashed(&inode->i_hash))
					goto out;
				if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_CLEAR))
					goto out;
			}
	
	The "I_FREEING|I_CLEAR" condition was added after the ISBLK/unhashed
	tests were already in the source, but I can't see any reason why we'd
	want the I_FREEING test not to apply to block devices.  And indeed, this
	results in all sorts of inode list corruptions.  Simply moving the
	I_FREEING|I_CLEAR test out of the protection of the S_ISBLK() condition
	fixes things entirely.
	
	The existing 2.6 kernel will reliably fail on me in about 2 seconds once
	"rpm -Uvh --force dev*.rpm" starts its actual installation of the new
	inodes.  With the patch below I can't reproduce it at all.

	On G5 machines, we remap the AGP port to bus number 0xf0. XFree

	for bus 0 in pciconfig_iobase on those machines. Bus 0 is the HT

	are ok with it. The driver now uses the macio infrastructure for
	detection & power management notifications, getting into sysfs at
	the same time.

	[wireless airo] Add support for mini-pci based cards

<willy@debian.org>
	[PATCH] Handle an old acenic card
	
	Hi Jes.  I really do have a Rev. 5 card, and it works much better treated
	as a Tigon I than as a Tigon II.

<simon@thekelleys.org.uk>
	[wireless atmel] update
	
		Add PCI device support - there are atmel_pci.ko and atmel_cs.ko
		modules and a library module called atmel.ko
	
		Tweak the PCMCIA card -> firmware table for new cards.
	
		Fix workarounds for uniquely broken 3com cards, which were
		rendered unuable by the 0.9 changes.
	
		Bump version to 0.91

	[Bluetooth] Fix race for incoming connections
	
	This patch fixes a racing condition in accepting incoming RFCOMM
	connections. If a SABM command frame occurs in data packet right
	after L2CAP configuration request packet and there is no active
	session yet then the kernel RFCOMM thread wakes up only once and
	creates a new session. But it does not process SABM frame from
	second data packet waiting in the queue. Connection setup hangs
	and the other side is waiting for UA frame response, but the
	kernel thread keeps sleeping. A possible solution is to force
	additional thread wakeup right after successful creation of the
	new session.

	[PATCH] parport fixes (1/6)
	
		Current tree has all allocated ports on portlist.  However,
	most of the portlist users assume that we only have announced ports
	there and break badly if they happen to see the list after port driver
	has created a port (parport_register_port()) but before it finishes
	the setup (and calls parport_announce_port()).
		The only place that wants to see all allocated port is
	parport_register_port() itself and only to pick the first unused
	port number.
		We add a new list (all_ports) and put ports there when allocated;
	that list is kept ordered by port->number.  Ports are placed on portlist
	only by parport_announce_port().
		Gobs of shite in parport_register_port() removed, pile of races
	closed...

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport fixes (2/6)
	
		We use a new mutex to protect all additions/removals of drivers and
	ports.  That cures a lot of insanity:
		* driver removals can't hit us in the middle of attach_driver_chain().
	Old code simply dies on that.
		* port removals can't hit us in the middle of driver registration.
	Again, old code dies on that.
		* driver ->detach() is allowed to block now.
		* we are guaranteed that by the time when parport_unregister_driver()
	returns, all ->detach() calls are finished.  Old code did _not_ guarantee
	that (read: was inherently racy since rmmod of driver could race with port
	removal and get driver->detach(port) called after the module was gone).
		* we are guaranteed that driver->attach(port) won't be called
	more than once.  With the old code that was a matter of luck.
		* removed piles and piles of braindead code.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport fixes (3/6)
	
		A bunch of parport_enumerate() users was duplicating parport_find_...()
	without proper locking.  Replaced with use of appropriate helpers, races closed.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport fixes (4/6)
	
		parport_gsc.c turned into proper parisc driver; instead of scanning
	the list of ports upon rmmod in search of ones that had been created by us,
	we do cleanup where it belongs - in parisc driver ->remove().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport fixes (5/6)
	
		bw-qcam.c turned into proper parport driver.  Instead of (racy)
	scanning the list of ports we use ->attach() and ->detach().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport fixes (6/6)
	
		daisy.c used to access the topology list with no locking whatsoever.
	Protected by spinlock, fixed numerous bugs in handling of the single-linked
	list (I'm not kidding - just take a look at the old parport_daisy_fini()
	and weep; it is supposed to go through a simple list and remove all entries
	that satisfy a condition).

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (1/25)
	
	* new helper: pi_schedule_claimed() - pi_do_claimed() sans the call
	  of continuation if we don't have to wait; returns 1 if we don't
	  have to wait and 0 otherwise.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (2/25)
	
	Preparation to crapectomy - expanded include of pseudo.h, split
	the part of pd_do_request() into pd_do_request1(), leaving in pd_do_request()
	only the check that FSM is not running and call of pd_do_request1().
	Added locking analysis - it's in drivers/block/paride/Transition-notes
	and it will be used on the next step.  Even though the subsequent steps are
	small, they rely on properties of the damn thing and proof of these properties
	is hairy.  Amazing perversions people manage to produce when writing a trivial
	FSM - the code is very convoluted for no good reason...

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (3/25)
	
	Removed junk (see the analysis in the previous patch), removed
	ps_set_intr() arguments.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (4/25)
	
	Logics around "if not ready, schedule the same step again" taken
	out of ps_tq_intr() and into the steps that need it.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (5/25)
	
	pd_busy gone - we can check for pd_req != NULL instead.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (6/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		* new function: do_pd_io_start().  Checks pd_cmd and calls
		  do_pd_read_start() or do_pd_write_start().
		* do_pd_read() and do_pd_write() merged into do_pd_io(), which
		  schedules execution of do_pd_io_start().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (7/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		Handling of bogus requests taken into do_pd_io_start() - we
		call next_request(0) as we would for any other error.  We
		need to call pi_unclaim() before that - on other paths that
		would happen as a side effect of pi_disconnect().
		Setting variables moved into do_pd_io_start() - they don't
		need pd_lock being held, so we can shift that outside.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (8/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		instead of having do_pd_request1() calling do_pd_io() via
		pi_do_claimed() and do_pd_io() calling do_pd_io_start() via
		ps_set_intr(), do it the other way round.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (9/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		do_pd_reqeust1() calls lambda-expanded, function killed.
		resulting call of ps_set_intr() in next_request() has been
		moved past dropping pd_lock.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (10/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		* ps_continuation renamed - it's "phase" now.
		* run_fsm() does what ps_tq_int() used to do
		* calls of pi_do_claimed(..., func) replaced with
		  phase = func; pi_do_claimed(..., run_fsm);
		Now all phase functions are called from run_fsm() and we
		can start pulling the common code into it.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (11/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		* new type - enum action.  phase functions return it now.
		  run_fsm() looks at the result of phase() and does the
		  corresponding action - next_request(), pi_do_claimed()
		  or ps_set_intr().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (12/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		* calls of pi_disconnect() in phase functions expanded.
		* since both do_pd_read_start() and do_pd_write_start()
		  are always called claimed (as the matter of fact,
		  all phase functions except do_pd_io() are), we can
		  replace call of pi_connect() with direct method call -
		  pi_claim() is no-op there.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (13/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		pi_unclaim() moved from phase functions to run_fsm().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (14/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		call of pi_do_claimed() in run_fsm() expanded; recursive
		call of run_fsm() replaced with loop.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (15/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		next_request() call expanded.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (16/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		* phase = do_pd_io replaced with phase = NULL, corresponding
		  check + open-coded equivalent added in run_fsm loop.
		* do_pd_io() is gone.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (17/25)
	
	Equivalent transformation:
		now that all phase functions are called claimed, we can
		simplify the logics around claiming - new variable (pd_claimed)
		keeps track of claim/unclaim we'd done.  We check it in the
		beginning of the loop and do claiming if it's not set.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (18/25)
	
	Moved calls of ->connect and ->disconnect into run_fsm().  The only
	change is that now do_pd_start_io() is ran when we are connected.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (19/25)
	
	Reordered stuff
	made pd_ready() inlined
	renamed ps_timeout to pd_timeout
	renamed ps_tq to fsm_tq
	renamed ps_set_intr to fsm_schedule
	removed unused pd_wait_open.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (20/25)
	
	Switched everything except pd_identify() to use of special requests.
	New helper: pd_special_command() - builds special request, feeds it
	into queue and waits for completion.
	Moved pi_connect()/pi_disconnect() to the beginning/end of pi_identify.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (21/25)
	
	Moved allocation and setup (but not adding) of gendisk into
	pd_probe_drive().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (22/25)
	
	Now disk->present is not needed - we can always check for disk->gd.
	Field removed, pd_probe_drive() became void(struct pd_unit *), pd_detect()
	cleaned up,

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (23/25)
	
	pd_init_units() merged into pd_detect(), pd_drive_count made local to
	pd_detect().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (24/25)
	
	pd_identify() converted to pd_special_command().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (25/25)
	
	paride has a ->private field for use by low-level drivers.  It's not
	64bit-clean - it's int, but is used to store a pointer (bpck6).
	Fix: replace with unsigned long, update typecasts in users.

	[PATCH] scsi/imm.c cleanup and fixes (1/8)

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] scsi/imm.c cleanup and fixes (6/8)
	
		* fixed missing wakeups in imm_pb_claim()/imm_wakeup() - if the

	MAINTAINERS:
	
	* Remove Frodo Looijaard. He isn't active in the project anymore, and
	forwards everythings he receives to the mailing-list. More work for
	everyone, and increased latency.
	
	* Move your name to the top. This is more realistic since you are the
	real maintainer of the i2c subsystem in 2.6.
	
	* Reindent. Spaces were used instead of tabs.

	[PATCH] acpi4asus update from Karol 'sziwan' Kozimor
	
	The attached patch updates the acpi4asus driver to 0.27 through the
	following changes:
	- add support for M1300A, S5200N, L8400L,
	- remove WLED support for certain models, since it is not controlled by
	  AML,
	- add LCD backlight switching for L2E / L3H,
	- C99 initializers,
	- generic LED handlers,
	- the output of ASYM method to provide battery state information (might be
	  more accurate under certain conditions) in /proc/acpi/asus/info,
	- fix several oddities, various clean-ups and other minor changes.
	
	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.

	[PATCH] ppc32: Update PowerMac dmasound driver
	
	From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	
	This patch was missing from my big merge.  It updates the PowerMac
	"dmasound" driver.  Adds input support for some recent machines using the
	tas3004 coded/mixer chip.  Code mostly written by Renzo Davoli.
	
	This driver isn't (unfortunately) fully obsoleted by the Alsa one.  There
	are lots of reports of the Alsa one not working properly on various
	PowerMac machines, and some people are unhappy with Alsa in general, enough
	to have ported the messy PowerMac dmasound to 2.6 :)

	[PATCH] ppc64: Add readq/writeq and __raw* IO functions
	
	From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	
	This patch adds those for ppc64, except for iSeries which cannot do
	readq/writeq easily, at least not as far as I know but I need to ask the
	iSeries specialists in Rochester to be sure.  But anyway, iSeries shouldn't
	use anything in fb.h anyway ...
	
	It also add the proper tweaks & barriers to make sure reads are actually
	done right away and not delayed indefinitely (making the CPU think the read
	data is actually used) and add necessary write barriers on IO writes.  For
	some reasons, ppc64 in 2.6 lacked some of these, opening potential races
	within some drivers.

	[PATCH] With size > XATTR_SIZE_MAX, getxattr(2) always returns E2BIG
	
	From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
	
	The getxattr (listxattr) syscall returns E2BIG if the buffer passed to them
	is bigger than XATTR_SIZE_MAX (XATTR_LIST_MAX), no matter what buffer size is
	actually required.  Here is a fix.  It also removes the xattr_alloc and
	xattr_free functions which are not of much use anymore.

	[PATCH] ext2/3: incorrect increment of i_blocks when keeping the same xattr block
	
	From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
	
	Here is a fix for extended attributes on ext2 and ext3, reported by
	Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com>.
	
	From: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com>:
	
	When you have an EA block that is shared between multiple inodes; AND you
	then change an attribute in that on one inode, AND the new attribute value
	is the same as the old, then xattr computes the new EA block, finds it
	still in the cache, bumps the reference count on it (and the i_blocks field
	on the inode, incidentally), and leaves it incremented because we haven't
	changed EA block so there's no need to drop the refcount on the old block.
	
	So *every* time you have more than one inode sharing an EA block and you
	perform an identical write to an EA, you get a leak on both i_blocks and
	the EA refcount.
	
	This is a big problem for symlinks, which rely on correct i_blocks
	accounting to determine the difference between fast and slow symlinks.
	With the leak, you end up thinking that a fast symlink (ie.  one small
	enough to be stored in the inode direct blocks) is slow, so you dereference
	the ascii contents of the symlink as if they were a disk block address.
	That typically results in EIO all over the place.

	Also affects 2.4 tree, even if there "%c" seems not to be used at all.

	[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.

	[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.

	It also kills some memsets of pointer members of a struct where the struct
	itself is freed directly after.
	
	This one has 2 modification from the first version: the if is back as
	discussed and one extra long line (>> 150 chars) is wrapped now.

	[NET]: Support for lots of netdevs -- faster dev_alloc_name
	
	Convert dev_alloc_name from O(n^2) lookup to O(n) by using a page as
	bitmap to figure out how many devices of that pattern have been allocated.
	This works for up to 32k devices (PAGE_SIZE*8) on i386, more on other
	platforms.  Correctly handles the boundary cases where number of devices
	won't fit because name length is limited.
	
	Adds strnchr to the string libraries since we need to find the % format
	character, but only care if it is in the first 15 bytes.

	NFSv4/RPCSEC_GSS: Ensure that RPC userland upcalls time out

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPCSEC_GSS: More fixes to the upcall mechanism.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>

	RPCSEC_GSS: Oops. Major memory leak here.

	RPCSEC_GSS: Fix two more memory leaks found by the
	Stanford checker.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPCSEC_GSS: Fix yet more memory leaks.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPCSEC_GSS: Miscellaneous cleanups of the krb5 code required
	for the integrity checksumming mode.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPCSEC_GSS: Instead of having gss_get_mic allocate memory for
	the mic, require the caller to pass an output buffer whose data
	pointer already points to preallocated memory.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPCSEC_GSS: Client-side only support for rpcsec_gss integrity
	protection. 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.
	In particular, when we start storing more sequence number
	history (necessary to process responses to resent requests
	correctly), this will make it easier to initialize the
	necessary data structure in the right place (in
	xprt_request_init).

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPC: xdr_encode_pages either leaves the tail iovec pointing to
	null or, if padding onthe page data is needed, sets it to point
	to a little bit of static data. This is a problem if we're
	expecting to later append some data in gss_wrap_req. Modify
	xdr_encode_pages to make tail point to the end of the data in
	head, as xdr_inline_pages and xdr_write_pages do.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPC: Add support for sharing the same RPC transport and
	credential caches between different mountpoints by allowing
	cloning of the rpc_client struct.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4/RPCSEC_GSS: Make Frank's server->client_sys feature use
	RPC cloning in order to avoid duplicating sockets etc. Make
	NFSv4 share a single socket for all communication to the same
	server.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Convert the RENEW operation from using nfs4_compound, to
	being a standalone RPC call in preparation for the renew daemon
	overhaul.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Convert the lease renewal daemon from being
	per-mountpoint to being per-server. Instead of running it on
	top of rpciod, convert it to use keventd. This mean we can use
	the struct nfs4_client semaphores for ordering purposes.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Split out the code for retrieving static server
	information out of the GETATTR compound.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Convert SETCLIENTID and SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM to be
	standalone operations. Ensure that SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM always
	returns the lease timeout length.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Don't translate those NFSv4 errors that are needed by
	the kernel itself into EIO.
	
	Fix a signed/unsigned bug in nfs4_increment_seqid.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Preparation for the server reboot recovery code.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	NFSv4: Basic code for recovering file OPEN state after a server
	reboot.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
	RPC/NFSv4: Allow lease RENEW calls to be soft (i.e. to time
	out) despite the mount being hard.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>

	NFS traffic for the last 5 minutes. This code also affects

	[PATCH] qla2xxx Kconfig fix
	
	qla2xxx needs to be replumbed back into driver/scsi/Makefile.
	
	David Miller had already sent along a patch to me which achieves this
	by removing the _CONFIG suffix.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] Fix qla2xxx warnings
	
	On ppc64:
	
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.c: In function `qla2300_fw_dump':
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.c:64: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 5)
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.c: In function `qla2100_fw_dump':
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.c:600: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 5)
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c: In function `qla2x00_proc_info':
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c:2386: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c:2386: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
	
	The qla_dbg() warning occurs because on ppc64 size_t is a long.  sizeof
	returns a size_t.
	
	I used %Z rather than the more modern %z, because gcc-2.95 warns about %z.
	printk supports both.
	
	For printing out dma_addr_t's, we really don't know what size they are here,
	so treating them as unsigned long long is best.

	[PNP]: Fix Serial PnP driver
	
	The serial driver currently fails to unregister its pnp driver upon
	module unload.  This patch corrects the problem by calling

<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
	[PNP]: Resource flags update
	
	This patch reorganizes resource flags to ensure that manual resource
	settings are properly recognized.  This fix is necessary for many ALSA
	drivers.  It also prevents comparisons between unset resource
	structures.  The bug was discovered by Rene Herman
	<rene.herman@keyaccess.nl>, who also wrote an initial version of this
	patch.  I made further improvements to ensure that the pnp subsystem 
	was compatible with this initial change.

<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
	[PNP]: Disable resources fix
	
	Some PnPBIOSes do not follow the specifications with regard to
	disabling devices.  This patch preserves the tag bits, while zeroing
	the resource settings.  Previously we would zero the entire buffer.
	It has been tested and appears to correct the issue while remaining
	compatible with unbroken PnPBIOSes.

	Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
	[PNP]: Card matching code fix
	
	This patch updates the matching code to ensure that all requested
	devices are present on the card, even if they are in use.  It is
	necessary for some ALSA drivers to work properly because early vendors
	would have different sets of devices on the same card ids.  It is from
	Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

<ambx1@neo.rr.com>
	[PNP]: Add additonal sysfs entries

	previously registered ide_pci_host_proc_list entry is already unmapped
	(because of __{dev}initdata).  This doesn't happen in built-in case
	because this memory is freed after all drivers are initialized.
	Fix it by removing __{dev}initdata from all ide_pci_host_proc_t.
	
	Thanks to Andre Tomt <andre@tomt.net> for help in debugging this.

	[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

	[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.

	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.

	[PATCH] Export OF device path for PCI devices
	
	Here's a new version of the patch according to our discussion.
	
	This allows the platform to add its own platform files to the
	sysfs PCI device node through a "pcibios_add_platform_entries()"
	call.
	
	I added an empty pcibios_add_platform_entries() inline to all
	archs that apparently have PCI and implemented the OF stuff for
	ppc and ppc64. The name is still "devspec" for now, I doubt
	it will conflict and that's consistent with our use of the
	"devspec" name in other places.

	[PATCH] DVD-R capability flag set incorrectly, /proc formatting fix
	
	From John McKell <mckellj@iomega.com>:
	
	  This patch for scsi/sr.c and cdrom/cdrom.c persuades
	  /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info to report that connecting a drive via USB
	  rather than ATAPI in fact does not make it able to write DVD-R.
	
	  Without this patch, when sr0 and hdd are the same type of device
	  connected via USB and ATAPI respectively, I see:
	
		$ cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info:
		drive name:             sr1     sr0     hdd
		...
		Can write CD-R:         1       0       0
		Can write CD-RW:        1       0       0
		Can read DVD:           0       0       0
		Can write DVD-R:        1       1       0
		Can write DVD-RAM:      0       0       0
		Can read MRW:           0               0               0
		Can write MRW:          0               0               0
	
	  With this patch applied, instead I see:
	
		$ cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info:
		drive name:             sr1     sr0     hdd
		...
		Can write CD-R:         1       0       0
		Can write CD-RW:        1       0       0
		Can read DVD:           0       0       0
		Can write DVD-R:        0       0       0
		Can write DVD-RAM:      0       0       0
		Can read MRW:           0       0       0
		Can write MRW:          0       0       0
	
	  The sr1 device in particular is an ordinary CD-RW that in fact cannot
	  write DVD-R.
	
	  While messing with this code, I also thought to tweak the /proc
	  formatting to align the tabbed columns.

	[PATCH] ia64: sba_iommu perf tunning and new functionality
	
	   I've been doing some performance tuning and adding some functionality
	to sba_iommu for zx1/sx1000 chipsets.  This adds:
	
	      * Long overdue consistent_dma_mask support
	      * Long overdue ability to do large mappings in the iommu
	      * Tightened spinlock usage for better performance/scalability
	      * Added branch prediction hints for some of the performance paths
	      * Added explicit data prefetching to some performance paths -
	        perfmon shows roughly a 20% decrease in L3 misses in the bitmap
	        search code
	      * Increased delayed resource freeing depth and added a separate
	        lock per ioc to avoid contention
	      * Added code to free up queued pdir entries should we be unable to
	        find space for new ones (not that I've ever seen the pdir
	        anywhere close to full)
	      * Finished cleaning out the hint support code, Grant is
	        maintaining this separately for now
	      * Added option to control bypass of sg mappings separately from
	        single/coherent mappings
	
	Much like the swiotlb, sba_iommu allows devices capable of 64bit
	addressing to bypass the iommu and DMA directly to/from memory.  Using a
	worst case scenario test (64bit bypass disabled, all DMA mapped through
	the iommu), I saw a 60% increase in sequential block input throughput
	using bonnie++ on a large RAID0 MD array.  In fact, this patch provides
	the best bonnie++ performance with bypass disabled.  This is likely due
	to benefits seen from coalescing the scatterlist, allowing better disk
	streaming.  I assume that network performance will likely be limited by
	mapping latency, so I added the last bullet item to allow sg mappings to
	get the benefit of coalescing while keeping a low latency path for
	single and coherent mappings.  If anyone is setup for network
	benchmarks, I'd be interested in a before and after with this patch.

	[PATCH] ia64: Avoid deadlock when using printk() for MCA and INIT records
	
	Port the ia64 mca.c clean up patches from 2.4.25-pre8 to 2.6.2-rc2.
	
	The following 6 patches do :-
	
	1 Avoid deadlock when using printk() for MCA and INIT records.
	2 Delete all record printing code, moved to salinfo_decode in user space.
	3 Mark variables and functions static where possible.
	4 Delete dead variables and functions.
	5 Reorder to remove the need for forward declarations and to consolidate
	  related code.
	6 Bjorn's printk cleanup.
	
	Altogether they shrink mca.c from 2432 to 1339 lines and make it much
	more readable.
	
	The only functional change is the removal of any attempt to print the
	CMC/CPE/MCA/INIT record contents in the kernel plus the addition of an
	info printk to ia64_mca_check_errors(), to match 2.4.  Now we just get
	one line to say that a record has been detected, except for MCA which
	prints nothing at all.

	[WATCHDOG] v2.6.2 watchdog-architecture-cleanup
	
	In order to make the watchdog menu useful for some architectures, we need
	to only be able to select the watchdogs that can compile.  This patch also
	moves the SuperH watchdog from its own Kconfig file to the normal one.

<marcel@holtmann.org>
	[Bluetooth] Fix non-blocking socket race conditions
	
	A poll on a non-blocking listen socket signals readable too early. The

	[PATCH] ia64: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL for SN2 physical_node_map
	

<mort@wildopensource.com>
	[PATCH] ia64: don't call note_interrupt() for per-CPU irqs
	
	The note_interrupt() code is racy for per-CPU irqs and causes severe
	performance problems due to cache-line bouncing on large SMPs.  Just don't
	call it for that case.

<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
	[PATCH] Shut up about the damn modules already...
	
	In almost all distributions, the kernel asks for modules which don't
	exist, such as "net-pf-10" or whatever.  Changing "modprobe -q" to
	"succeed" in this case is hacky and breaks some setups, and also we
	want to know if it failed for the fallback code for old aliases in
	fs/char_dev.c, for example.
	
	Just remove the debugging message which fill people's logs: the
	correct way of debugging module problems is something like this:
	
		echo '#! /bin/sh' > /tmp/modprobe
		echo 'echo "$@" >> /tmp/modprobe.log' >> /tmp/modprobe
		echo 'exec /sbin/modprobe "$@"' >> /tmp/modprobe
		chmod a+x /tmp/modprobe
		echo /tmp/modprobe > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Add the head.S changes to boot a PowerMac G5.
	
	Apple's OF boots us with translation enabled. Also move the

	be called on platforms that don't boot in real mode (that space
	isn't always mapped)

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Add support for PowerMacs in the OF client interface code (prom.c)
	
	Also move some of the init cruft into separate function to make

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc32: Separate definitions for known vs unknown PowerMac G5 models

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Update the nvram driver to deal with PowerMac G5
	
	This involves making the actual read/write routines be indirect
	through ppc_md, and adding the various nvram partition types
	used on a PowerMac.

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Add the PowerMac PCI support
	
	This involves moving the final fixup to a function pointer in machdep,
	turning all the PCI DMA routines into function pointers in a separate
	structure and a bit of renaming work. The PowerMac currently use
	"direct" PCI DMA bypassing the iommu. The driver for the IOMMU will
	come later, allowing us to lift the limitation to 2Gb of RAM

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Add support for z85c30 SCCs for low level console (PowerMac G5)
	
	This is only used with the "sccdbg" kernel command line option, as
	you need a special adapter (www.geethree.com) to get access to the

	ppc64: Add CPU NAP mode in idle loop on PowerMac G5

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Add pciconfig_iobase syscall for 32 bits apps only
	
	This syscall is used by XFree to retreive the IO base of the
	bus where the video card is plugged. This is only implemented
	for compatibility with existing XFree86, I don't plan to do
	a 64 bits version, XFree shall be fixed to use proper PCI access
	methods

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Add SMP support for PowerMac G5

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	ppc64: Switch off use of polled mode in i2c driver

	[PATCH] New radeonfb
	
	Here is the new radeonfb. It doesn't remove the old one, just in case,
	though CONFIG_FB_RADEON now builds the new one.
	
	The new driver supports recent cards, has better monitor detection,
	including DDC2, fixes a couple of constants in the old driver, and a lot
	more.
	
	I had to add an empty fb_set_suspend() function to fbmem.c (the real
	implementation is in James tree and will be here soon).  That means that
	Power Management on Apple laptops isn't completely right yet until the
	core fbdev fixes get in, but it's good enough for now.

	[PATCH] Fix typo in ppc32 build
	
	The patch adding the OF platform entries had a typo ;)
	
	ppc32 needs this.

<torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org>
	ppc64: remove autogenerated file, and incorrect header inclusion

<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
	Fix "bus_for_each_dev()" and "bus_for_each_drv()", which did not
	correctly handle the "restart from this device/driver" case, and
	caused oopses with ieee1394.
	
	This just uses "list_for_each_entry_continue()" instead.
	
	Add helper macro to make usage of "list_for_each_entry_continue()"
	a bit more readable.

	[PATCH] ia64: Delete redundant ia64_mca_check_errors()
	
	salinfo automatically processes all record types on all cpus at boot

	[PATCH] selinux: Fix bugs in policy loading code
	
	From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
	
	This patch fixes a couple of bugs in the SELinux policy loading code.  The
	first bug was reported by Magosanyi Arpad; kernel panic upon feeding the
	kernel a policy with an empty avtab due to cleanup code trying to free the
	avtab twice.  The other bugs were reported by Frank Mayer; failure to
	properly validate certain values read from the policy.

	This updates the sh defconfig.. nothing horribly exciting.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] sh: Wrap fb_read/writeX() to __raw_read/writeX()
	
	From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
	
	This adds sh to the list of platforms that wrap fb_readX/fb_writeX() to
	__raw_readX/__raw_writeX().  This is needed so that the generic fb read/write
	routines will wrap properly through the sh machvec and use the appropriate
	board-specific I/O routines.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] sh: RTC fixes
	
	From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
	
	Re-read RTC registers if MSB of R64CNT was changed while reading them on SH-4

	[PATCH] sh: hd64461 updates
	
	From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

	[PATCH] sh: Misc build fixes
	
	From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
	
	Misc build fixes.. also not horribly exciting.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] sh: hitfb updates (and accel)
	
	From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
	
	This updates hitfb, and also adds basic accel support.  Also as we don't need
	the generic cfb_copyarea anymore, we no longer link cfbcopyarea.o in at build
	time.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] sh: pvr2fb updates
	
	From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
	
	Sanity fixes in pvr2fb_check_var() so we don't constantly report an invalid
	pixclock..  also fixup FB_SYNC_BROADCAST setting so this doesn't get
	improperly assigned in the VO_VGA case.

	[PATCH] Alpha: fix "extern inline" logic for core IO functions
	
	From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>
	
	Again...  This time due to pci.h->dmapool.h->io.h included in core logic
	files before __EXTERN_INLINE definition.
	
	To prevent such troubles in the future, make io.h/core_xx.h included before
	anything else.  Also, this allows to get rid of some duplicated #include's.

	[PATCH] Fix fadvise() parameter checking
	
	From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>

	[PATCH] Suppress reiserfs page allocation wanring
	
	From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM>
	
	Some stage in reiserfs balancing (fix_nodes() function) has to be performed
	without ever scheduling.  If it schedules, it has to be restarted.  As we
	don't want to restart often, we first try to do atomic allocation, and if
	it fails, GFP_NOFS allocation is done, and fix_nodes() restarted.

	On IBM 40x and IBM 4xx (or more specifically, all Book E processors), the
	Save/Restor Registers 2 and 3 Critical Save and Restore Registers 0 and 1
	are logically and functionally equivalent.  And since the 40x is the early
	variant on the Book E model, make generic 4xx/BookE code refer to
	CSRR0/CSRR1, and map these to SRR2/SRR3 on 40x.

<anton@samba.org>
	[PATCH] Fix ppc64 build problem
	
	From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
	
	Recent changes in include/linux/*.h meant that likely()
	isn't defined here (since we don't set __KERNEL__), and thus
	we don't get some prototypes and we can't use do_div.  This
	fixes the resulting compile errors and warnings.
	
	Remove %L handling from sprintf - we don't need it, and it
	meant we needed do_div from asm/div64.h, which gives problems
	when __KERNEL__ isn't defined.  Also add a prototype for
	strlen to kill a warning.

<anton@samba.org>

	[PATCH] various xmon cleanups
	
	Heres a patch I've had for a while, it removes a bunch of debugger code
	which is good :) The next patch will sanitise it (and the rest of the
	debugger hooks).
	
	Various xmon cleanups
	
	- recover from bad SPR read/write (we get a program check)
	- remove some old code (bat and segment register stuff)
	- update the help text to match reality
	- add a "press ? for help" when xmon first appears to make rusty happy
	- protect against flushing bad parts of memory from Milton
	- dont print iseries specific stuff on pseries in SPR dump (S)
	- add code to dump the segment table or SLB
	- remove a number of functions that wouldnt work on LPAR

<anton@samba.org>
	[PATCH] cleanup debugger hooks
	
	Theres still more to do here, but at least the ifdef mess is gone. No
	more checking for NULL before calling functions, that was playing with
	fire. Oh yeah and lots more deletions :)
	
	Clean up the debugger hooks, it was way too easy to screw up.
	And we did. And Linus hit it.
	
	- create CONFIG_DEBUGGER so we can enable kernel debugging options but not
	  have any trace of debugger gunk.
	- remove a bunch of xmon prototypes so no one gets the urge to call them
	- Use die() instead of panic in a number of places, it gives us much better
	  debug information.
	- Get rid of the ifdef madness

<hch@lst.de>
	[PATCH] back out fbdev sysfs support
	
	This backs out James' sysfs support for fbdev again.  It introduces a

	(that is every driver but Ben's new radeonfb).
	
	I've left in framebuffer_{alloc,release} as stubs so drivers can be
	converted to it gradually and once all drivers are done it can be
	enabled again.

	[PATCH] fix FB_RADEON_I2C dependency
	
	Thus fixes the weird kconfig message "optimize || ?", it's an old debug
	check and is triggered by the unusual dependency.  It's not incorrect,
	but the solution below is better and it's the same FB_MATROX_I2C already
	uses.
	
	I'll send a fix for the kconfig message later.

	[PATCH] Fix Oops & warning on PPC in rivafb
	
	Independently from the other fbdev updates I'm cooking (some of them
	will be in your mailbox rsn), this fixes an error in parameter passing
	to a function in rivafb (only used on ppc) that could cause an oops and
	definitely causes a warning at compile time.

	[PATCH] shield fbdev operations with console semaphore
	
	This fixes the fbdev ioctl's and fbcon cursor management with the

	thus fixing a bunch of races where we could have, for example, tried to
	blit while changing mode, etc..

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	[PATCH] Fix fbdev pixmap locking
	
	This removes the broken locking code in the pixmaps, and rewrite the

	broken loocking is useless as we are covered by the console semaphore in
	all cases hopefully (except if I missed one :)

	[PATCH] Update aty128fb video driver
	
	This updates the aty128fb driver.  It adds more PCI IDs, uses the new
	framebuffer alloc/release functions, make BIOS PLL data access more
	reliable (using ROM whenever possible, with a fallback to RAM BIOS
	image), cleanup the Power Management stuff (get rid of PowerMac specific
	stuffs, use real PCI ones instead), along with some style cleanups

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	[PATCH] fbdev state management
	
	This adds some "state" information for power management to fbdev's,
	along with a notifier mecanism to inform clients of state changes.  It
	also "uses" this mecanism in the function fb_set_suspend() which was an
	empty placeholder previously, and "shields" various places that access
	the HW when state isn't running.  (It's best to not call them in the
	first place, but the current state of fbcon makes that _very_ difficult)

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	[PATCH] fbcon notified of suspend/resume
	
	This makes fbcon ask for notification of events from fbdev to deal with
	suspend/resume (stop cursor on suspend, refresh screen on resume).
	Could probably do more (like dealing better with the cursor timer), but
	this simple implementation works fine enough for now.

	[PATCH] Update mac network drivers
	
	This should merge up the final piece of the ppc32/64 saga: the mac
	PowerMac MACE and Airport network drivers.
	
	Both of them are ported to the mac-io infrastructure, all probe code
	rewritting & cleaned up, better error handling & resource management.

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	[PATCH] radeonfb: limit ioremap size & debug output
	
	This adds a limit on how much of the framebuffer is ioremap'ed by
	radeonfb, thus enabling it to work with 128Mb VRAM or more on an x86
	with 900Mb of lowmem in the linear mapping.
	
	It also adds a significant amount of debug messages and adds a CONFIG
	option to enable the debugging output, that should help with diagnosing
	new problems. Among others, it dumps the connector info as I understand
	them (so far, they give "strange" informations on laptops, I need more
	data on more various laptops to see if there's a pattern I can really use
	to figure out on which connector the LVDS is)
	
	Regarding the "lid closed at boot", ultimately, we may want to default
	to the VGA output in those cases, though I'm not sure what logic to use
	here. Maybe we could standardize some way for the platform to provide
	this "environment" information to the driver, but i wouldn't rely on it.
	
	More reliably, if we can find out that there is an LVDS output, and
	LVDS is disabled, just ignore the flat panel...
	
	We could assume any mobility chip has LVDS, which is true, but that would
	still cause a problem for laptops with an additional DVI output (only
	Macs so far afaik).

	[PATCH] SELinux: context mount support - LSM/FS
	
	From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
	
	This series of patches adds support for SELinux 'context mounts', which
	allows filesystems to be assigned security context information at mount time.
	 For example, some filesystems do not support extended attributes (e.g.  NFS,
	vfat), and this feature allows security contexts to be assigned to them on a
	per-mountpoint basis.  It is also useful when the existing labeling on a
	filesystem is untrusted or unwanted for some reason (e.g.  removable media),
	and needs to be overridden with a safe default.
	
	The first patch below consists of infrastructure changes to the kernel:
	
	- A new LSM hook has been added, sb_copy_data, which allows the security
	  module to copy security-specific mount data once the superblock has been
	  setup by the filesystem.
	
	- The sb_kern_mount hook has been modified to take this security data as a
	  parameter, and would typically be used at that point to configure the
	  security parameters of the filesystem being mounted.
	
	- Allocation and freeing of the security data has been implemented in the
	  core fs code as it is cleaner than trying to do it purely via LSM hooks,
	  and should make maintenance easier.  This code will be compiled away if LSM
	  is not enabled.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] SELinux: context mount support - NFS
	
	From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
	
	This patch modifies the kernel's NFS mount data structure to include SELinux
	context mount data.  It allows NFS fileystems to be labeled on a
	per-mountpoint basis, and should not affect existing versions of userspace
	mount.
	
	(A patch to the userspace mount code is available at
	http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/context_mounts/)

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] SELinux: context mount support - SELinux changes.
	
	From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
	
	This patch implements context mount support within SELinux.
	
	Three new mount options are provided:
	
	context=%s
	  Label the entire filesystem with the specified security context during
	  mount and change the labeling behavior to 'mountpoint labeling'.  The
	  /proc/self/attr/fscreate attribute will be ignored for file creation on
	  the filesystem, although policy-specified transitions will still work
	  normally.  This also sets the aggregate filesystem security context.
	
	fscontext=%s
	  Set the label of the aggregate filesystem to the specified security
	  context, so that SELinux policy controls over the filesystem itself may
	  be reinstated.  Only works for filesystems without EA labeling support,
	  and is not valid if 'context' has been specified.
	
	defcontext=%s
	  Set the default security context for files created in this filesystem to
	  the specified security context (as opposed to the current global default).
	  Only works for filesystems without EA labeling support, and is not
	  valid if 'context' has been specified.
	
	To set the context or fscontext options, the security policy must specify
	appropriate permissions for the filesystem relabelfrom and filesystem
	relabelto controls.  For the defcontext option, the filesystem relablefrom
	and filesystem assoicate controls are invoked.
	
	The security mount options are parsed out and stripped from the normal
	mount option data so that no normal filesystems need to be aware of them.
	
	Filesystems with binary mount option data (e.g. NFS, SMBFS, AFS, Coda)
	need to be handled as special cases: only NFS is supprted at this stage
	per the previous patch.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] selinux: Allow non-root processes to read selinuxfs enforce node
	
	From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
	
	This patch changes the mode bits on the selinuxfs enforce node so that
	non-root processes can read it.  This is necessary to allow non-root
	userspace policy enforcers to check the enforcing flag upon a permission
	failure as well.  A process must still have the appropriate SELinux
	permission in order to read the node.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] selinux: mark avc_init with __init
	
	From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
	
	The avc_init function is only called during kernel init, so it can be
	marked with __init.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] SELinux: Fix error handling bug.
	
	From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
	
	The patch below fixes an error handling flaw, where we need to return a
	Netfilter verdict from the function rather than a standard error code.

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	[PATCH] Small typo in aty128fb

	[PATCH] ide-tape: fix "sleeping function called from invalid context"
	
	From: Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org>

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
	[PATCH] ide-tape: warn about soon to be removed OnStream support
	
	I see only pros of removing OnStream support:
	 - SCSI osst.c driver is actively maintained by Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org>
	 - there is no functionality loss (OnStream IDE drives don't support DSC)
	 - ide-tape.c driver is too ugly & complicated even without OnStream support
	 - long term benefits (2.7.x plans on unifying storage drivers)

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
	[PATCH] remove ide_dma_{good,bad}_drive from ide_hwif_t
	
	Use __ide_dma_{good,bad}_drive() directly and remove these wrappers.

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
	[PATCH] remove __ide_dma_count() and ide_hwif_t->ide_dma_count
	
	->ide_dma_count() was introduced in kernel 2.5.35 and was meant to add support
	for host FIFO counters (for VDMA), but is only a wrapper for ->ide_dma_begin()
	(even for siimage.c b/c SIIMAGE_VIRTUAL_DMAPIO is undefined).
	
	Moreover it should be possible to add VDMA code directly to ->ide_dma_begin().

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
	[PATCH] make __ide_dma_off() generic and remove ide_hwif_t->ide_dma_off
	
	Move ide-dma.c:__ide_dma_off() outside of #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI,
	so it can be used for all DMA capable hosts.  Remove ide_hwif_t->ide_dma_off.

<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	[PATCH] Fix rtasd zombie on PowerMac G5
	
	The rtasd kernel thread would exit before daemoniz'ing itself if
	RTAS wasn't present (or if allocation of the buffer failed), thus
	leaving a zombie. This patch fixes it (and remove #if 0'ed code)

<torvalds@home.osdl.org>

	[PATCH] mremap NULL pointer dereference fix
	
	This is a cleaned-up version of a mremap() fix for "move_one_page()"
	by Rajesh Venkatasubramanian <vrajesh@umich.edu>. We could use a NULL
	"src" pointer.
	
	Because while we do hold the MM semaphore over the whole sequence, the
	destination page table allocation will possibly drop the page table
	spinlock.  That in turn can cause a clean source page to be stolen by
	page reclaim, causing the source-side "get_one_pte_map_nested()" to
	return NULL the second time around even if it didn't on the first case.
	
	So we just check "src" again, and get rid of the bogus TLB invalidate
	while we're at it.

	[PATCH] Fix fencepost error in x86_64 IOMMU
	
	There's a fencepost error in the GART IOMMU handling on x86_64
	in the unmap path.  When testing to see if the bus address is
	within the IOMMU window and needs to be unmapped, the start of
	the first page *beyond* the window also passes the test.  This
	can cause the first doubleword of the next page beyond the gatt
	table to be smashed to zero, with unpredictable results depending
	on what that page is used for.

<viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
	[PATCH] blkdev_put() data corruption
	
		We used to have sync_blockdev() on each normal (== non-raw)
	blkdev_put() + kill_bdev() on the final blkdev_put().  That worked
	fine until we'd moved sync_blockdev() to the final blkdev_put().
	
		Now we have a nasty scenario:
	
	open block device
	open raw device
	write on block device	# data ends up in cache
	close block device	# no sync here, we still have the sucker opened
	close raw device	# no sync here either
				# ... and cache is killed by kill_bdev()
	
		IOW, if we postpone sync to final close, we must do it regardless of
	kind of close.  Otherwise we are in for data corruption and yes, it is easy
	to trigger.  Fix is obvious...

<zippel@linux-m68k.org>
	[PATCH] Avoid bogus warning about recursive dependencies
	
	This allows us to do something like
	
		config FB_RADEON
			select I2C_ALGOBIT if FB_RADEON_I2C
	
	where FB_RADEON_I2C itself depends on FB_RADEON without getting a bogus
	warning about recursive dependencies.
	
	This matters because the select takes the default minimum dependancy
	from the parent menu, so we want to do this under FB_RADEON rather than
	under FB_RADEON_I2C (so that the I2C_ALGOBIT config depends properly
	on the state of FB_RADEON)

<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
	Fix the dependency chain for I2C_ALGOBIT from the FB
	drivers that need it.
