Summary of changes from v2.5.25 to v2.5.26
============================================

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] Ensure we clear the PSR flags when calling signal handlers.
   
   There is a problem with CPUs like the ARM926, which have Java
   acceleration, which is enabled by the 'J' bit in the PSR.  Since
   we used to preserve all PSR bits from user mode when calling the
   signal handler, we end up calling a signal handler in Java mode.
   
   We therefore clear all of the PSR "flags" ensuring a clean state,
   and ARM or Thumb mode as appropriate when calling signal handlers.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] Don't pass PC address into per-processor abort handlers in r0
     We no longer need to pass the address in to the per-processor abort
     handlers in r0 (since it's already passed in r2).  r0 was preserved
     while each abort handler was fixed up.
   
     We also bypass the FP emulator for any Thumb instructions; the FP
     emulator does not understand Thumb code at present.

<ctindel@cup.hp.com>
   drivers/net/bonding.c: Check ethtool then mii ioctl to determine link status.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   Tigon3: On 32-bit just wrap low 32bits of stats if we overflow.

<shaggy@kleikamp.austin.ibm.com>
   procfs entries should be created when CONFIG_JFS_STATISTICS is set.
   
   Currently, if CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG is not set, no entries are created
   under /proc/fs/jfs, even if CONFIG_JFS_STATISTICS is set.

<shaggy@kleikamp.austin.ibm.com>
   JFS: set s_maxbytes to 1 byte lower
   
   When i_size was (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 32), generic_file_read overflowed
   an index and failed on any read.  Subtracting one fixes it.

<wa@almesberger.net>
   include/net/dsfield.h: Remove dead code.

<shaggy@kleikamp.austin.ibm.com>
   JFS: Remove extraneous bdput calls
   
   bdput is called in blockdev_put and the error path of bkldev_get.
   JFS shouldn't be calling it directly.
   
   Submitted by Christoph Hellwig

<jmorris@intercode.com.au>
   NETLINK: Add unicast release notifier.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   SunHME: Register IRQ with netdev->name as string.

<jsimmons@heisenberg.transvirtual.com>
   Removed passing around struct kbd_struct for sysrq. Only two calls use it. 

<jsimmons@heisenberg.transvirtual.com>
   Initialization cleanup. The ultimate idea is seperate out the video display and input device intialization into there own functio+
ns. Also to seperate out teh console and tty intializtions. In theory we could have a light weight VT console by itself.

<jsimmons@heisenberg.transvirtual.com>
   Started to enforce a one to one relationship between struct tty_struct and struct vc_data. It will make it easier to handle thing+
s.

<jsimmons@heisenberg.transvirtual.com>
   Dropped a important bug fix. Now it works :-)

   [PATCH] usb driverfs, +misc
   
   This fixes a couple issues I noted when I finally spent some time
   looking at the first version of driverfs support for usb:
   
   - "name" fields (really descriptions) aren't very useful.
   
        * for devices, they always said "USB device 0000:0000"
            --> Now they'll only say that when there's
                nothing better to be said ...
            --> ... and it's really device 0000:0000!  It was
                using device descriptor fields before they were
                fetched from the device.
            --> Uses product and/or manufacturer strings, which
                most devices have, much like PCI uses the PCI ID
                database (when it's compiled in)
   
        * for interfaces, it was "figure out some name..."
            --> Now it combines the strings used in the
                usb_make_path() call with interface number
            --> Or in the remote chance a device provides
                an interface string, that's preferred.
            --> In general, I think the driver for each
                interface is best suited to describe it;
                I modified the hub driver to do so.
   
   - "bus_id" field
   
        * For hub ports, it was wasting code: we know the port
          already, no need to search for it.  Plus, it used
          0-index ids not the 1-index ones matching physical
          labels on hubs, and other user-visible diagnostics.
   
        * For interfaces, it mixed the device address with the
          interface number ... producing unstable IDs that were
          moreover rather cryptic.  Changed:  "if0" now, using
          the interface ID (not index).
   
        * For busses, left "usb_bus" alone ... :)
   
   - Adds two files exposing current configuration (for devices)
      and altsetting (for interfaces).
   
   - I was getting a useless diagnostic from the hub driver,
      now it's less useless (it fully identifies the hub)

   Matt

<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
   [PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: consolidate, cleanup, etc.
   
   This patch changes how the exit code works to be cleaner, fixes the OOPS on
   rmmod, consolidates some anti-race code from several places to just one,
   and also eliminates some theoretical race conditions.

<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
   [PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: consolidate, cleanup, etc.
   
   This patch fixes some spelling errors and adds some BUG_ON() calls so we
   can make sure that all this new code is working properly.

   fix i_nlink for root inode in usbfs

<david-b@pacbell.net>
   [PATCH] urb->transfer_flags updates
   
   This patch fixes two problems that have already been discussed
   on this list:
   
   - USB_QUEUE_BULK is rather pointless (and UHCI-specific).
      If drivers really want only one bulk urb queued at a time,
      they just shouldn't issue such urbs till others complete.
   
        FIX:  remove it entirely.
   
   - USB_DISABLE_SPD is horribly named (based on a UHCI flag).
      What it really does is turn non-ISO short reads into errors.
   
        FIX:  rename it.  Now it's URB_SHORT_NOT_OK.
   
   I changed all the drivers using these two flags, including
   corresponding changes in the "usbfs" API.
   
   Most of the patch by volume is doc updates:
   
   - Documentation/usb/URB.txt hadn't been updated in two years (!)
      and was pretty out of date.  It also had many details that were
      inappropriately specific to usb-uhci.
   - Most of the URB flags weren't even commented as to intent.
   - DISABLE_SPD was often documented as if it were SHORT_IS_OK.
   - There was still some doc saying how iso should use urb->next.
   
   There are also some related updates:
   
   - Some of the submit sanity checks for transfer flags were
      overly broad ... SHORT_NOT_OK is only for reads, NO_FSBR
      is for non-periodic requests, ZERO_PACKET only for writes.
   - The ohci-hcd code thought SHORT_NOT_OK worked for ISO.
   - The uhci-hcd code thought QUEUE_BULK applied to non-bulk
   
   Note that this patch doesn't update any of the "old" HCDs,
   including usb-ohci-hcd.
   
   In the case of usb-uhci{,-hcd} it'd have been painful to fix
   the QUEUE_BULK logic.  That logic was, I think, the original
   reason to have that flag!  So I count switching to "uhci-hcd"
   as a win already ... :)

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Cleanups by Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>,
   char signedness and removal of extra \n.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Move delayed rescanning of the ports to serio.c, add a kernel thread
   for that, so that hotplug events happen in process context.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Fixes (to make it compile), cleanups (in comments) for Amiga and
   Acorn RiscPC mice.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   INPUT_EMU10K1 should be GAMEPORT_EMU10K1, fixed in
   drivers/input/gameport Config.in and Config.help

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Change rpcmouse.c to use BUS_HOST instead of BUS_ISA.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Fix a typo in drivers/input/gameport/Config.help

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Use Johann Deneux's own i-force configuration and build code.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Updates and fixes for sound drivers to handle gameports better.
   Make gameport support unconditional for es1370 and es1371.
   Fix amplifier command line option handling for es1371.
   Make gameport support default for mad16.
   Add ADC gameport support to trident.c
   Add proper dependencies to Config.in

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Remove mouse drivers no longer needed, because these mice are
   now handled by the input subsystem.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Don't depend on CONFIG_ISA for drivers that handle hardware
   that's on the mainboard - not in an ISA slot.

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: 2.0.15 - Fake inodes based attribute i/o via the pagecache, fixes, cleanups.
   - Fix silly bug in fs/ntfs/super.c::parse_options() which was causing
     remounts to fail when the partition had an entry in /etc/fstab and
     the entry specified the nls= option.
   - Apply same macro magic used in fs/ntfs/inode.h to fs/ntfs/volume.h to
     expand all the helper functions NVolFoo(), NVolSetFoo(), and
     NVolClearFoo().
   - Move copyright statement from driver initialisation message to
     module description (fs/super.c). This makes the initialisation
     message fit on one line and fits in better with rest of kernel.
   - Update fs/ntfs/attrib.c::map_run_list() to work on both real and
     attribute inodes, and both for files and directories.
   - Implement fake attribute inodes allowing all attribute i/o to go via
     the page cache and to use all the normal vfs/mm functionality:
     - Add ntfs_attr_iget() and its helper ntfs_read_locked_attr_inode()
       to fs/ntfs/inode.c.
     - Add needed cleanup code to ntfs_clear_big_inode().
   - Merge address space operations for files and directories (aops.c),
     now just have ntfs_aops:
     - Rename:
           end_buffer_read_attr_async() -> ntfs_end_buffer_read_async(),
           ntfs_attr_read_block()       -> ntfs_read_block(),
           ntfs_file_read_page()        -> ntfs_readpage().
     - Rewrite fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_readpage() to work on both real and
       attribute inodes, and both for files and directories.
     - Remove obsolete fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mst_readpage().

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: 2.0.16 - Convert access to $MFT/$BITMAP to attribute inode API.
   - Fix a stupid bug introduced in 2.0.15 where we were unmapping the
     wrong inode in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_attr_iget().
   - Convert $MFT/$BITMAP access to attribute inode API and remove all
     remnants of the ugly mftbmp address space and operations hack. This
     means we finally have only one readpage function as well as only one
     async io completion handler. Yey! The mft bitmap is now just an
     attribute inode and is accessed from vol->mftbmp_ino just as if it
     were a normal file. Fake inodes rule. (-:

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: Fix debugging check in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block().

<vs@tribesman.namesys.com>

   Toshiba laptops enable special functionality via an ACPI device. This
   driver handles that, and will be maintained by John Belmonte.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] cpufreq updates - new, more flexible initialisation handling.
   This round of cpufreq cleanups came from Dominik's work on the core
   cpufreq code.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] FP emulation IRQ handling cleanup.
   Rather than handling the IRQ state each time we emulate each
   instruction, we enable the IRQ before we enter the FP emulator.
   We don't require any IRQ protection in the emulator anyway, so
   it's safe to implement this trivial performance enhancement.

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   ACPI interpreter update

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   Allow things to compile with UP, local APIC, no IO APIC

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] General update of various ARM related files.
   - Fix ARM Makefile; we now build with -Os instead of -O2.
   - Fix backtrace code to display more registers correctly.
   - Fix various build errors.
   - Fix PSR for architecture compliance.
   - Update mach-types file.

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   Removed no longer needed acpi_evaluate (a wrapper function)
   Use acpi_os_free instead of kfree directly
   Fix possible memory leaks
   Fix possible divide by 0 (Dominik Brodowski)

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   The ECDT is a table which contains information about the Embedded Controller
   that allows use of the EC and EC opregions before we actually parse the
   namespace.
   
   This changeset adds support for finding and using the ECDT, as needed on
   laptops such as the IBM T23 and T30.

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   Fix possible memory leak
   Rewrite acpi_bus_init to be merely nasty, instead of unspeakably nasty
   Add call to acpi_ec_ecdt_probe()

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   Change some IA64 stuff as requested by Matthew Wilcox
   Implement fix for keyboard hang when getting battery readings on some
   systems (Stephen White)

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   Change idle policy a little
   Use acpi_os_free instead of kfree directly
   Eliminate CONFIG_SMP ifdef and simplify errata.smp code

<agrover@acpi3.(none)>
   Add a warning
   Fix a typo
   Use the default bios-given IRQ if ACPI can't find one at all (Dominik B)

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] Fix ELF "HWCAP" flags for the various CPU types.
   Some of the CPU implementations copied the ELF flags from the
   StrongARM-110 implementation, without thinking whether they were
   correct or not.  This changeset fixes up these CPU types.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] ptrace cleanups.
   The major points are:
   - Move ptrace code from traps.c into ptrace.c so it's all in one place.
   - Correct get_user_regs() to allow for the 8 byte offset.
   - Fix missing ptrace_cancel_bpt() call which could miss some
     single stepping steps.
   (other small pages; for details see individual file notes)

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Only initialize pc_keyb when i8042.c isn't selected.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Fix a hang in serio code and a possible oops in input.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] page fault handling updates
   - FSR "write" bit moved from bit 8 to bit 11.
   - Handle bit 10 of FSR for xscale imprecise aborts.
   - Allow Xscale CP0 and CP13 accesses.
   - Move Xscale specific implementations to their own file.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [ARM] StrongARM SA1111 cleanups

<jsimmons@heisenberg.transvirtual.com>
   Updates against input CVS. Lots of typo fixs and new info. Added in Q40 keyboard controller for m68k platform.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Add a wrapper function for serio ->interrupt callback.
   This cleans up things somewhat and also will allow better
   hotplugging detection in the future.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   This cset implements automatic detection of PS/2 mice and AT keyboards
   even when they were not connected at boot time. This is done by
   polling the i8042 chip when its interrupts are not enabled.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Unregister an AUX/KBD port if the interrupt cannot be ever claimed.

   Remove number member from struct gameport. Not needed.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Add a driver for the Bitsy touchscreen.

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: 2.0.17 - Cleanups and optimizations - shrinking the ToDo list.
   - Modify fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode() to return an error
     code and update callers, i.e. ntfs_iget(), to pass that error code
     up instead of just using -EIO.
   - Modifications to super.c to ensure that both mount and remount
     cannot set any write related options when the driver is compiled
     read-only.
   - Optimize block resolution in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block() to
     cache the current run list element. This should improve performance
     when reading very large and/or very fragmented data.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Update the HID drivers to latest version.
   Add ForceFeedback support.
   Update HIDDEV.

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: 2.0.18 - Fix race condition in reading of compressed files.
   - There was a narrow window between checking a buffer head for being
   uptodate and locking it in ntfs_file_read_compressed_block(). We now
   lock the buffer and then check whether it is uptodate or not.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   Add netif_receive_skb-like interface for VLAN hw accel.

   Fix pid.c build when built as a module.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Add a driver for X-Box gamepads. While they have quite normal
   data format, they cannot be handled by HID, because they lack
   the descriptors and have completely nonstandard interface class.

<vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz>
   Make USB HID/PID force feedback an experimental option.

<vojtech@suse.cz>
   [PATCH] Big HID update
   
   This cset is update of the HID drivers to the latest version, as a part

   Sparc: Update for HZ changes.

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: 2.0.19 - Fix race condition, improvements, and optimizations in i/o interface.
   - Apply block optimization added to fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block()
     to fs/ntfs/compress.c::ntfs_file_read_compressed_block() as well.
   - Drop the "file" from ntfs_file_read_compressed_block().
   - Rename fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_enb_buffer_read_async() to
     ntfs_end_buffer_async_read() (more like the fs/buffer.c counterpart).
   - Update ntfs_end_buffer_async_read() with the improved logic from
     its updated counterpart fs/buffer.c::end_buffer_async_read(). Apply
     further logic improvements to better determine when we set PageError.
   - Update submission of buffers in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block() to
     check for the buffers being uptodate first in line with the updated
     fs/buffer.c::block_read_full_page(). This plugs a small race
     condition.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   Netlink: Pid check changes need to use 2.5.x style sock private accessing.

   Sparc build fixes:
   - Define L1_CACHE_SHIFT for quota sake
   - Fix FC4/PLUTO build, request is a pointer in scsi_cmnd now.
   - Make binfmt_elf32 build properly wrt. jiffies_to_foo changes.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   AIC7XXX_OLD: cmd->request is a pointer, not the struct itself.

   Sparc64: Update defconfig.

<aia21@cantab.net>
   NTFS: 2.0.20 - Support non-resident directory index bitmaps, fix page leak in readdir.
   - Move the directory index bitmap to use an attribute inode instead of
     having special fields for it inside the ntfs inode structure. This
     means that the index bitmaps now use the page cache for i/o, too,
     and also as a side effect we get support for non-resident index
     bitmaps for free.
   - Simplify/cleanup error handling in fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_readdir() and
     fix a page leak that manifested itself in some cases.
   - Add fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(), which we need to release the
     index bitmap inode on the final iput().

   [PATCH] IEEE1394 updates
   
   This is against 2.5.25. Lots of fixes. Brings things inline with 2.5.25.
   Probably makes the subsystem actually work now (well, it will work, but
   I bet without it, it doesn't). Merged in changes from the current 2.5.x
   source.

   [PATCH] IDE 98
   
   Synchronize with 2.5.25.
   
   Incorporate IDE-94, as well as 95, 96, 97 and 98-pre as announced by Bartek and
   unfortunately still not included in 2.5.25, which makes admittedly things
   still fall appart:
   
   Missing changelog for 98-pre by Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (BTW.  Handling
   Unicode should be essential at least to make proper crediting of many many
   peoples possible!) follows here:
   
    - add missing channel->lock unlocking/locking and fix some comments
      in ide_timer_expiry()
   
    - allow PCI drivers to disable autodma in ->init_dma()
      (bug introduced in IDE 97, affects sl82c105.c only)
   
      noticed by Russell King
   
    - alim15x3.c, if revision is <= 0x20 disable autodma
   
    - remove unneeded checks (drive.dn > 3) from pdc202xx.c and sis5513.c
   
    - use block layer wrappers
   
   And my additions follow:
   
    - Fix TCQ code. Patch based on work by Alexander Atanasov.
   
    - Use the FreeBSD derived request handler return values:
   
      ATA_OP_FINISHED
      ATA_OP_CONTINUES
      ATA_OP_RELEASED
      ATA_OP_READY   /* for status ready reporting during poll */
   
    - PMAC compilation fix by Paul Mackerras.
   
    - Simplify the ata_status_poll function significantly.
   
    - Fix logic used to prevent drive IRQ assertion from drive on channels sharing
      our interrupt.
   
   NOTE: We will move it later to the time where a request is really finished
   soon.
   
    - Don't use ata_busy_poll() use ata_status_poll() instead. This increases code
      unification.
   
   NOTE: We should maybe invent some way to prevent the error recovery path to be
   taken at all. In esp to prevent ata_error from trying to reissue commands.

   [PATCH] direct-to-BIO for O_DIRECT
   
   Here's a patch which converts O_DIRECT to go direct-to-BIO, bypassing
   the kiovec layer.  It's followed by a patch which converts the raw
   driver to use the O_DIRECT engine.
   
   CPU utilisation is about the same as the kiovec-based implementation.
   Read and write bandwidth are the same too, for 128k chunks.   But with
   one megabyte chunks, this implementation is 20% faster at writing.
   
   I assume this is because the kiobuf-based implementation has to stop
   and wait for each 128k chunk, whereas this code streams the entire
   request, regardless of its size.
   
   This is with a single (oldish) scsi disk on aic7xxx.  I'd expect the
   margin to widen on higher-end hardware which likes to have more
   requests in flight.
   
   Question is: what do we want to do with this sucker?  These are the
   remaining users of kiovecs:
   
      drivers/md/lvm-snap.c
      drivers/media/video/video-buf.c
      drivers/mtd/devices/blkmtd.c
      drivers/scsi/sg.c
   
   the video and mtd drivers seems to be fairly easy to de-kiobufize.
   I'm aware of one proprietary driver which uses kiobufs.  XFS uses
   kiobufs a little bit - just to map the pages.
   
   So with a bit of effort and maintainer-irritation, we can extract
   the kiobuf layer from the kernel.

   kernel/softirq.c :: do_softirq() has a typo in the type of the `cpu'

   this is a CPU value not a bitmask and is thus an `int'.

   [PATCH] 2.5.25 remove global semaphore_lock spin lock.
   
   Replace the global semaphore_lock with the spinlock embedded in
   the wait_queue_head_t.  None of the data protected by semaphore_lock
   is global and there is no need to restrict the system to only allow
   one semaphore to be dealt with at a time.
   
   This removes 2 lock round trips from __down() and __down_interruptible().
   It also reduces the number of cache lines touched by 1 (the cache line
   with seamphore_lock).

   [PATCH] change Intel cache-detection code to use a table

   [PATCH] fix timer interrupts on NUMA-Q
   
   Since I turned on the IO-APICs on secondary quads, we are receiving
   timer interrupts on *all* quads, not just the first quad, each from their
   local timer chip. This causes time to progress far too rapidly ;-)
   
   The simple patch below turns off the timer interrupts for IO-APICs other
   than interrupt 0, and has been tested to fix the problem. As it switches
   on clustered_apic_mode, it should be safe from hurting anyone else.
   
   This fix is already in 2.4 - I'm playing catchup with 2.5 - the same patch
   applies with just a line offset

   [PATCH] suspend-to-disk: cleanup printks(), rearrange reading
   
   I'd like Florent credited -- he is maintaining 2.4.X version and
   helping with development. Kill warnings by rearranging code / adding
   prototypes. Enable using separate console (so user sees progress and X
   suspend/resume works properly), forward-port of updates from Florent
   and stop using own PRINTK stuff (mostly). Reading now primarily uses
   block_device(), this should enable more cleanups. Fixed double free on
   error path.

   [PATCH] Allow non zero boot cpu
   
   A partitioned ppc64 machine can have a boot cpuid anywhere from 0 to 31.
   With the non linear cpu changes in 2.5.24 we must set up the initial task
   to start on the boot cpu. (since it isnt always 0 now)
   
   With this patch I am able to boot on cpus other than 0. I also tested
   discontiguous cpuids. So the non linear cpu stuff checks out OK.

   [EBUSY]
       Some or all of the addresses in the range starting at addr and
       continuing for len bytes are locked, and MS_INVALIDATE is
       specified.
   
   [EINVAL]
       The value of flags is invalid.
   
   [EINVAL]
       The value of addr is not a multiple of the page size {PAGESIZE}.
   
   [ENOMEM]
       The addresses in the range starting at addr and continuing for len
       bytes are outside the range allowed for the address space of a process
       or specify one or more pages that are not mapped."
   
   This fixes error code of msync() of the EINVAL case.

<hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
   [PATCH] error code for mprotect()
   
   SuSv3 says: "The mprotect() function shall fail if:
   
     [EACCES]
       The prot argument specifies a protection that violates the access
       permission the process has to the underlying memory object.
   
     [EAGAIN]
       The prot argument specifies PROT_WRITE over a MAP_PRIVATE mapping and
       there are insufficient memory resources to reserve for locking the
       private page.
   
     [EINVAL]
       The addr argument is not a multiple of the page size as returned by
       sysconf().
   
     [ENOMEM]
       Addresses in the range [addr,addr+len) are invalid for the address
       space of a process, or specify one or more pages which are not mapped.
   
     [ENOMEM]
       The prot argument specifies PROT_WRITE on a MAP_PRIVATE mapping, and
       it would require more space than the system is able to supply for
       locking the private pages, if required.
   
     [ENOTSUP]
       The implementation does not support the combination of accesses
       requested in the prot argument."
   
   This fixes error code of mprotect() of the ENOMEM case.

   [PATCH] Fix NFS attribute caching bug
   
     Fixes an obvious bug in __nfs_refresh_inode(): after updating the
   attribute cache, if we discover that the data cache is invalid don't
   call nfs_zap_caches() as that will also reinvalidate the attribute
   cache.
     This bug plays havoc with the new lookup/revalidation code in 2.4.19
   since it forces a lot of unnecessary extra GETATTR RPC calls.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] 2.5.25 Clean up RPC receive code
   
     Divorces task xid<->request slot mapping from the internals of the
   rpc_waitqueue xprt->pending. Instead xprt_lookup_rqst() is made to
   search a dedicated list (xprt->recv) on which the request slot is
   placed immediately after being allocated to a task. The new queue is
   protected using the spinlock xprt->sock_lock rather than the generic
   RPC task lock.
   
     Both udp_data_ready() and tcp_data_ready() (well tcp_read_request()
   actually) now need to protect against the request being removed from
   the xprt->recv list while they copy the RPC reply data from the skb.
   On the other hand, they no longer need to worry about the task
   disappearing from xprt->pending. This means that rpc_lock_task() hack
   can be replaced by the spinlock xprt->sock_lock.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] 2.5.25 Clean up RPC receive code [part 2]
   
     After getting rid of rpc_lock_task() from net/sunrpc/xprt.c (see the

   handling code.

   [PATCH] Don't always ask about Intel RNGs
   
    Hello.  The following patch hides the option for Intel (i8x0) RNG
    support when it's not a useful option.  This is based off of a patch
    That was accepted in 2.4.19-pre6.  While I suspect this is an ia32-only
    option, it is possible that it's used on ia64 as well, so we test for
    both before offering Intel i8x0 RNG support.

   [PATCH] usb-storage: catch bad commands
   
   The purpose of this patch is to trap all commands which have a bogus
   request_bufflen.  Much logic is devoted to calculating the proper length of
   the transfer, but according to discussions I've had on linux-scsi, this is
   really a bug in whatever is originating the bad command.
   
   Hopefully, after people use this patch for a while, we'll eliminate all the
   offending sources and can remove quite a bit of logic from the driver.

   This patch  includes the innocuous bits from a larger one that

   - updates comments
   - flags TDs that were seen in the donelist
   - removes some bogus whitespace (at EOL etc) and tabs
   - checks for an enumeration issue that might cause trouble
   - delays IRQs a bit more aggressively
   - shortens TD submit paths a smidgeon (smaller ".o")
   - updates some of the debug output
   - sanitizes usb_make_path() output on the SA-1111

   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [1/8]
   
   Implement the basic round trip timing algorithm in order to adapt the
   timeout values for the most common NFS operations to the server's
   rate of response.
   Algorithm is described in Van Jacobson's paper 1998 paper
   on http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/nrg-papers.html, and is the same as is
   used for most TCP stacks.
   
   Following the *BSD code, we implement separate rtt timers for GETATTR,
   LOOKUP, READ/READDIR/READLINK, and WRITE. In addition to this, there
   is one extra timer for the COMMIT operation.
   All the remaining RPC calls use the current system in which a fixed
   timeout value gets set by the 'timeo' mount option.
   
   In case of a timeout, the current exponential backoff algoritm is
   implemented. Subsequent patches will improve this...

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [2/8]
   
   Implement a count of the number of timeouts that have occured since
   we last recorded a successful reply from the server.
   
   For the moment this information is merely used in order to improve the
   estimate of whether or not the server is down. It will be used in
   patch 3/8 in order to improve the timeout backoff algorithm.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [3/8]
   
   Improve the response to timeouts. As requests time out, we delay
   timing out the remaining requests (in fact we follow exponential
   backoff). This is done because we assume either that the round trip
   time has been underestimated, or that the network/server is congested,
   and we need to back off the resending of new requests.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [4/8]
   
   Cleanups for the socket locking mechanism.
   
   Improve RPC request ordering by ensuring that RPC tasks that are
   already queued on xprt->sending get sent before tasks that happen to
   get scheduled just when there is a free slot.
   
   In case the socket send buffer is full, queue the tasks on
   xprt->pending rather than xprt->sending in order to eliminate the risk
   of accidental wakeups from xprt_release_write() and xprt_write_space().

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [5/8]
   
   Clean up the Van Jacobson network congestion control code.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [6/8]
   
   Eliminate the arbitrary timeouts in xprt_adjust_cwnd(). Strict
   enforcement of the congestion avoidance algorithm as detailed in Van
   Jacobson's 1998 paper http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/nrg-papers.html
   Congestion Avoidance and Control.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [7/8]
   
     - Divorce the allocation of free request slots and the congestion
       control. Make the congestion control apply only to when we
       actually send data over the wire. This means that we *do* apply
       congestion control to resent requests: if a timeout has occured,
       and there are too many requests on the wire, delay resending until
       the congestion algorithm allows it.
   
     - Improve spinlocking by putting the congestion avoidance algoritm
       under xprt->sock_lock. This lock has to be taken *anyway* in
       (almost) all cases where we are updating the congestion control
       data.

<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
   [PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [8/8]
   
   When determining who gets access to the socket, give priority to
   requests that are being resent. Despite the fact that congestion
   control now applies to resends, we still want to ensure that resends
   get ACKed as soon as possible (and before we start sending off new
   requests).
