Summary of changes from v2.5.73 to v2.5.74
============================================
<dave@thedillows.org>
Use a non-zero rx_copybreak to avoid charging a full MTU to the
socket on tiny packets.
Dave Miller suggested 256, I used 200 to be more consistent with the
other network drivers.
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[CPUFREQ] speedstep_detect_speed might not reenable interrupts
From Samuel Thibault
local_irq_save() is called at the beginning of speedstep_detect_speeds,
but local_irq_restore() is not called on I/O errors.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Fix 8250 revision width.
Patch from wli, edited by rmk.
'rev' needs to be at least 16 bits.
<jgrimm@touki.austin.ibm.com>
[SCTP] Break out sctp_assoc_valid() from sctp_id2assoc().
sctp_id2assoc() was trying to do too many things. Break out, so
sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() can just find out whether the assoc is valid.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: implement any_online_cpu
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Implement force_successful_syscall_return.
We use a bit in the thread_info flags for this. The bit is cleared on syscall
entry and set by force_successful_syscall_return. If the bit is set on syscall
exit, the normal check whether the value from the syscall function is an
error code is disabled and the value is just returned to userspace.
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: Fix sysinfo translation, spotted by Dave Miller
<jbarnes@sgi.com>
[PATCH] ia64: bitshift fix
I think there are other 64p issues in other places, but we found this
one while doing 2.5 bringup on hardware.

[PATCH] ia64: PCI fixes for sn2
Updates the PCI routines for sn2.
<jbarnes@sgi.com>
[PATCH] ia64: generic kernel support for sn2
I _think_ I got this one right (at least, it booted on hw). It should
allow generic kernels to include the sn2 code.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Drop obsolete ACPI SPCR support.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Two more minor cleanups for 2.5.72.

[PATCH] ia64: early_printk for SGI SN2
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Minor cleanups; fix non-SMP build.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Simplify the script to use only $CC and $OBJDUMP. Besides being simpler,
this also ensure we really do test the linker which will be
used when building the gate DSO.
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
Kconfig:
Add back IDE configuration.
<jbarnes@sgi.com>
[PATCH] ia64: sn2 updates for 2.5.72
Here's a patch against your bk tree that keeps things building for sn2
(and working with the discontig patch applied).
<alext@fc.hp.com>
[PATCH] ia64: cleanup xor build rule to take advantage of lib-m
<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: Fix a alternate-signal-stack bug which could corrupt RNaT bits
when bspstore happened to point to an RNaT-slot.
Bug reported by Matt Chapman.
<davidm@wailua.hpl.hp.com>
ia64: More perfmon fixes:
- removes 2.4 specific macros/inline functions
- fix rum vs. rsm bug for psr.up
- introduce cleaner PMC_IS_CONTROL() macro
- only save the value of psr.up on ctxsw (not whole psr)"
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: Convert from K+R to ansi
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: small __access_ok optimisation
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: GFDL in the kernel tree
I don't care about this enough to argue ...
I attach a patch to make it use the same legalese as
the other docs.
<greg@kroah.com>
USB: delete cdc-ether driver as it's no longer needed.
<judd@jpilot.org>
[PATCH] USB: add module paramater to visor driver for new devices
Allows new palm OS 4.x devices to be added by a module paramater instead
of being forced to recompile the driver.
<oliver@neukum.org>
[PATCH] USB: fix kaweth warnings
- fix compiler warning due to merge oversight
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: pl2303: add ability to report CTS and DSR status to userspace
<johannes@erdfelt.com>
[PATCH] USB: fix UHCI debug kmalloc() usage
Here's a patch from Tony Luck that fixes a problem with the UHCI
debugging code on architectures with big page sizes. We end up
allocating more than kmalloc allows.
<felixb@sgi.com>
[XFS] Modified to always pass NULL as data parameter to VOP_ATTR_GET(),
whenever ATTR_KERNOVAL flag is used.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:147567a

<overby@sgi.com>
[XFS] Ensure that when we unlock a log item when there is someone waiting
for log space, we give at least one thread a chance to flush
metadata and free more log space.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:149321a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] When flushing inodes in to free log space, make the flush async rather
than delayed write.

SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:150122a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] fix sign of error return in mount update and statfs operations,
mount update could have returned either sign, and statfs was
just wrong.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:150137a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] Update linux directory inode contents after the initial mkdir,
right now size shows up as zero which is wrong.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:150334a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] if we remount the fs readonly, there is no need to put
out dummy log records to clear the log as these actually
have the effect of dirtying it in a readonly unmount.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:150738a

Ok - here we go. Slightly improved patch compared to what I've sent first
so we handle now failure in create_proc_entry and !CONFIG_PROC_FS
identical, i.e. continue without proc entry. It's not needed for the
driver to work.
Updated Changelog:
* make it compile without CONFIG_PROC_FS (problem reported by Adrian Bunk,
original patch by Sam Ravnborg)
* get rid of a number of unneeded ifdef/endif CONFIG_PROC_FS (also
removing an "unused label" warning)
* use proc entrys' owner fields to protect against module removal racing
with proc entry access.
* handle failure in create_proc_entry like !CONFIG_PROC_FS
* set driver version 0.4a
Jeff, would please forward it for application to 2.5!

<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] make doing an iread from a bad location less chatty by default
as some code paths can actually do this and handle the result.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:150747a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] break dependency between CONFIG_PROCFS and CONFIG_SYSCTL in xfs
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:150782a
<nathans@sgi.com>
[XFS] Turn log head/tail check into an assert - this condition should never be true here
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151422a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] SYNC_FSDATA and SYNC_REFCACHE are supposed to be distinct values,
they ended up the same somehow.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151227a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] Move the pagebuf_runall_queues out from under a spinlock, if it
sleeps (which it might), this is not the right place for it to
be. There is also no reason for it to be under a spinlock.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151032a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] Fix deadlock between xfs_finish_reclaim and xfs_iget_core. An inode being
reclaimed and removed from memory by one thread while another thread
is attempting to reuse the inode and bring it back to life. There
was a window between the iget starting to reuse the inode and the
reclaim starting. Close the window by marking the inode as being
reused under the hash lock, and by abandoning the reclaim if this
is detected when it obtains the hash lock.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151123a
<lord@jen.americas.sgi.com>
[XFS] really delete kmem.c
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:148936a
<nathans@sgi.com>
[XFS] Fix some remaining unaligned access issues on 64 bit platforms.

[XFS] Add in benign missing sector flag to SB version macro
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151428a
<nathans@sgi.com>
[XFS] Fix remount readonly so it really wont write dummy log records
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151423a
<lord@sgi.com>
[XFS] Fix deadlock caused by race between xfs_iunpin marking an inode
dirty, and the same inode being reallocated and reused by create.
The unlock_new_inode and mark_inode_dirty manage to corrupt the
i_state flags and end up leaving I_LOCK|I_NEW set.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:151120a
<cwf@sgi.com>
[XFS] Close window to prevent a file with delayed write extents from being
converted to a realtime file.

Done. Also cleaned up the "Override Table" a bit.
<linux@de.rmk.(none)>
[PCMCIA] ti113x - fall back to PCI interrupt (from 2.4.-ac)
Stumbled over this patch within 2.4.21-ac. Depends on the ti113x.h

[SCTP] OOTB Cookie-Echo path does not like stale cookie vtag fix.
Move fix out of generic path, into the stale cookie path.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] __devinitdata declarations should not be marked const.
There are some bad compiler issues with section confusion ("const" stuff
likes going into the rodata section).
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] loop.c cleanups
This does the following:
- remove trailing spaces
- make loop.h independent by including bio.h, blk.h, spinlock.h
- replace the lock/unlock functions by module_get/module_put;
in struct loop this is the change
- void (*lock)(struct loop_device *);
- void (*unlock)(struct loop_device *);
+ struct module *owner;
- replace the integer lo_encrypt_type by the pointer lo_encryption;
there was a race with loop_unregister_transfer
- fixed an off-by-one in loop_register_transfer
This is Step 1 of a series of half a dozen or so.
Half of the above is from Jari. Anything that is wrong is mine.
<ldl@aros.net>
[PATCH] fix nbd driver for 2.5 block layer
This makes NBD work with the new linux 2.5 block layer design.
Specifically, it fixes memory corruption that results from module
removal and possible memory corruption from sending or receiving disk
data from the server.
It essentially rolls together the changes from two of the last patchlets
that I emailed: the fix for module removal & the fix for incorrect
struct bio usage. I believe it's wisest to roll these both together
into this one patch since they both deal with making NBD work better
with the 2.5 linux block layer design and without either of which, it's
possible that NBD will corrupt memory.
Other changes I'd like to see introduced (like in the earlier jumbo
patch) meanwhile are feature enhancements so they can wait. This patch
also should address all the very helpful concerns that have been raised
so far. Particularly:
1. that the very first submitted NBD patch was broken down [Andrew]
2. that only 1 spinlock is used for all the NBD request_queue structures
used [Jens,Al]
3. that kmap() is used in case of highmem pages [Jens]
4. that the allocation of request_queue is dynamic and seperate from
other allocated objects [Al]

[PATCH] Workqueue Exit Neatening
Jeff Garzik points out the initializing the exit completion at
exit time is foolish: we should just initialize it at creation time
live everything else in that structure, and avoid the memory barrier.

[PCMCIA] Fix ide-cs driver name (for PCMCIA binding)
Problem noticed by Eivind Tagseth.
We seem to have resurected the "ide_cs" driver name for the ide-cs module.
Restore the driver name to "ide-cs".

[PATCH] PCI: fix non-hotplug build
Current BK won't build when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set due to
undefined references to pci_destroy_dev in hotplug.c.
I think it makes sense to not compile hotplug.c in this case at all.
Also, this allows to get rid of several function which are unused
in non-hotplug kernel.
Tested on Alpha.

An update for the Indy aka IP22 support. Consolidates the 32-bit and
64-bit copies of the support code into one directory, so in total this
patch deletes quite a bit of code.
<ralf@linux-mips.org>
[PATCH] PCI code
This is the entire MIPS PCI code which I'm consolidating in arch/mips/pci/.
Applying this patch will result in some code duplication; the remaining

[PATCH] update dvb subsystem core
- update dvb subsystem core
- switched from user-land types like __u8 to u8 and uint16_t to u16
this makes the patch rather large.
- updated the dvr (digital videorecording) facility
- renamed some structures, like "struct dmxdev_s" to "struct dmxdev"
- introduced dvb_functions.[ch], where some linux-kernel specific
functions are encapsulated. by this, the dvb subsystem stays quite
independent from deeper linux kernel functions.
- moved dvb_usercopy() to dvb_functions.c -- this is essentially
video_usercopy() which should be generic_usercopy() instead...
- Made the dvb-core in dvbdev.c work with devfs again.
- remove all typedefs from structs
- remove all typedefs from enums

- fixup due to the latest i2c changes
<hunold@convergence.de>
[PATCH] correct the i2c address of saa7111
- this patch corrects the i2c address from "34>>1" to 0x24 and 0x25.
Believe me -- or look at the data sheet, for example from
http://www.gdv.uni-hannover.de/~hunold1/linux/saa7146/specs/saa7111a.pdf
Page 41 says: "Slave address read = 49H or 4BH; note 2 write = 48H or
4AH" They use 8-bit addresses here, but i2c addresses are 7-bit, ie.
0x48>>1 == 0x24 and 0x4a>>1 = 0x25
<hunold@convergence.de>
[PATCH] clean up the parts according to the comments on kernel mailing list
clean up the parts according to the comments on kernel mailing list
(mainly by Christoph Hellwig)
- ugly WRITE_RPS0 define in saa7146_hlp.c has been replaced by a proper
inline (I hope)
- use <linux/types.h> not <asm/types.h> everywhere
- include <asm/*.h> headers after <linux/*.h> ones
- revert the indentation from "static <newline> xxx to "static xxx"

[PATCH] Always flush rpc caches after an update

<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
[PATCH] Include update mode in declaration of RPC information caches.
The sunrpc/cache.c caches which store nfsd export information
can be updated either "inplace" or by replacing the entry.
replacement is needed when an entry hold a reference to some
other object, so the reference counts work properly.
"inplace" can be used when no such references are held, and should be
used when the object could be refered to by another cache (as otherwise
the other cache would have to be updated whenever this one is).
Previously the type of update (inplace or replace) was specified
as an argument to the *_lookup operation. This too easily lead to
inconsistancies.
With this patch, the update mode is specified when the cache is
declared.

[PATCH] enable local APIC on P4
The current local APIC code refuses to enable the local APIC

This patch removes this unnecessary restriction. Please apply.
Most P4 machines do boot with the local APIC enabled, but
Keith Owens reported that the P4 based Compaq Evo N800v
disables the local APIC, even though the machine actually
works if Linux enables it.
It is possible that some P4 machines with broken BIOSen
were saved by our refusal to enable the local APIC. We
can handle them via the DMI blacklist rules instead.

I think it's too long ... so unless anyone has a better idea, I'm going with
pci_acpi_scan_root(). Here's the patch, presented in patch -p1 format to
make greg's scripts happy ;-)
ia64 needs to be passed the pci domain and the acpi handle corresponding
to each root bus. Rather than change pcibios_scan_root to take additional

[PATCH] loop.c - part 2 of N
This does the following:
- IV value is current 512-byte sector relative to start of loop
container file. This is what all cryptoloop people have done, if I
am not mistaken. Andi or others - if you can demonstrate the need
for a more flexible setup an additional ioctl field may be needed. I
hope we can do without.
- made some things static
- made lo_offset a loff_t
- added lo_sizelimit
If one wanted a (crypto)loop somewhere inside a container file, the
old code allowed a starting offset, but no size, so that the
cryptoloop always extended to the end of the container file. This
field allows one to select an arbitrary interval. Note that this
changes struct loop_info64.
- improve error handling of loop_init()
- removed the unused typedef transfer_proc_t.
- added a define for LO_CRYPT_CRYPTOAPI

[PATCH] unexpected IO-APIC update
Recently there has been a rash of Unexpected IO APIC reports on the
linux-smp mailing list. Most of the most recent ones are due to some
newer Intel chipsets (865, 875).
The IO APIC Version register doesn't indicate the differences in these
IO APICs.
I have an patch that addresses these chipsets. It has been tested by a
few people with good results and has been blessed by Maciej Rozycki.
Other than conditionally decoding IO APIC registers 2 and 3, we could
alternately ignore them since Linux doesn't use the values for anything
other than printing them.
This patch ignores IO APIC register 2 if it's the same value as IO APIC
register 1. It also reads IO APIC register 3 if the IO APIC version is
>= 0x20, but some chipsets don't support this register, so it is also
ignored if its value if the same as IO APIC register 1 or 2.
Another possible(?) alternative is to read the PID/VID of the device to
determine which registers it supports. However, PCI devices have not
been scanned at this point in init, so it would require scanning PCI
config space directly and I don't yet see the point of doing that.
Oh, and the UNEXPECTED_IO_APIC() function doesn't print anything in
2.5.current and I didn't change that.

[SCTP] Peeled off/accepted sockets not in the right bind_bucket.
hlist changes caused the peeloff testcase to fail. Investigation shows
that the peeloff sockets is not bound into bind_bucket, so the
bucket has gone away (original socket closed). Fixing this, shows
a problem that inet->num wasn't set on peeled off sockets, so autobind
kicks in creating a new bind_bucket. Ugh. One bug had been
hiding the other one all this time.
Fix 1) peeledoff/accepted sockets need to have their own socket woven
into the bind_bucket->owner list. 2) Set inet->num, so autobind
doesn't think it needs to kick in.

[PATCH] Fix scsi host attributes
The shost_attrs stuff looks fine, expect for two points.
1. The scsi_sysfs_modify_shost_attribute() and
scsi_sysfs_modify_sdev_attribute() functions appear to be written a bit
carelessly. Below is a patch that: permits modification of the first
attribute in the list, allocates a new list with entries having the
correct size, copies the correct number of entries from the old list, and
wraps excessively long source lines.
2. More importantly, the current organization of the code has a
serious problem. The SCSI core does not modify the host driver when the
reference count for either shost->class_dev or shost->host_gendev drops to
0. Without knowing that, it is unsafe for the driver ever to deallocate a
private host data structure, since a user process may continue to hold a
reference to an open attribute file indefinitely, even after
scsi_unregister() has returned.

[PATCH] GCC 2.95.4 needs the spinlock workaround
From: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se>
2.5.73 removed the workaround needed to prevent gcc-2.95.x from
miscompiling spinlocks on UP. It turns out that some versions of
gcc-2.95 still do have problems with empty structs, so re-introduce
the workaround.

[PATCH] setscheduler needs to force a reschedule
From: Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>
Basically, the problem is that setscheduler() does not set need_resched
when needed. There are two basic cases where this is needed:
- the task is running, but now it is no longer the highest
priority task on the rq
- the task is not running, but now it is the highest
priority task on the rq
In either case, we need to set need_resched to invoke the scheduler.

- don't truncate dma_addr_t's in gdth.c (Jes Sorensen)
- vgastate.c needs vmalloc.h (Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>)
- revert bogus test from rd_open() - it was a 2.4 forward-port, and 2.5
doesn't need it. (The gendisks aren't registered, we cannot get there
anyway).

[PATCH] AT_SECURE auxv entry
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
This patch adds an AT_SECURE auxv entry to pass a boolean flag indicating
whether "secure mode" should be enabled (i.e. sanitize the environment,
initial descriptors, etc) and allows each security module to specify the
flag value via a new hook.
New userland can then simply obey this flag when present rather than
applying other methods of deciding (sample patch for glibc-2.3.2 can be
found at http://www.cs.utah.edu/~sds/glibc-secureexec.patch).
This change enables security modules like SELinux to request secure mode
upon changes to other security attributes (e.g. capabilities,
roles/domains, etc) in addition to uid/gid changes or even to completely
override the legacy logic.
The legacy decision algorithm is preserved in the default hook functions
for the dummy and capability security modules.
Credit for the idea of adding an AT_SECURE auxv entry goes to Roland
McGrath.

[PATCH] get_unmapped_area() speedup
From: Ingo Molnar
Apparently our thread-creation performance has gone down the tubes again,
because the mm.free_area_cache search heuristic broke.
The initial, more naive hole-cache patch helped the testcode in the
beginning. Then after some point glibc started creating a 'small hole' in
the vmas, which hole was _below_ the thread stacks, and which hole thus
prevented the intended operation of the cache.
The new code solves the problem by relaxing the 'smallest address hole cache'
rule a bit, the cache is now not re-set at every get_unmapped_area() time,
it's only re-set during unmaps. It's also re-set if there are no allocatable
mappings at all - ie. correctness is not affected.

[PATCH] dentry->d_count fixes: d_invalidate
From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>
- d_invalidate() can incorrectly return success instead of returning -EBUSY
as we can have situations where lockless d_lookup has found a dentry
successfully before d_invalidate drops it
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] dentry->d_count fixes: nfs_unlink
From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>
- nfs_unlink() can race with lockless d_lookup() as d_lookup() can
successfully lookup a dentry for which nfs_unlink() can assume that no one
else is using and can go ahead and do nfs_safe_remove() on it. By using
per dentry lock, it is solved as we d_lookup() will fail the lookup for
unhashed dentries.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] dentry->d_count fixes: hpfs
From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>
- hpfs_unlink() can race with lockless d_lookup(), as we can have situations
where d_lookup() has successfully looked-up a dentry and at the sametime
hpfs_unlink()--->d_drop() has dropped it. Taking the per dentry lock
before checking the d_count in hpfs_unlink() solves this race condition.

[PATCH] workaround for smb_proc_getattr oops
From: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca>
smbfs tends to oops over a null server->ops->getattr in smb_proc_getattr().
Urban says:
In 2.5 the server->ops is initialized when smbfs gets a connection, to
match whatever the server is capable of or not. This happens after the
mount syscall so smbfs is then mounted but not usable.
Not sure if smb_lookup is always called before any other operation that
uses server->ops. If it is then it would be enough to have a test there.
Otherwise I will just change all users of server->ops to verify the
pointer first and return -EIO or something.
Al Viro says (paraphrasing)
ugh, we need mount2().
It doesn't look to me like we'll be getting mount2() in the 2.6 timeframe.
Zwane's patch implement's Urban's workaround.

[PATCH] normalise node load for NUMA
From: Andrew Theurer <habanero@us.ibm.com>
This patch ensures that when node loads are compared, the load value is
normalised. Without this, load balance across nodes of dissimilar cpu
counts can cause unfairness and sometimes lower overall performance.
For example, a 2 node system with 4 cpus in the first node and 2 cpus in
the second. A workload with 6 running tasks would have 3 tasks running on
one node and 3 on the other, leaving one cpu idle in the first node and two
tasks sharing a cpu in the second node. The patch would ensure that 4
tasks run in the first node and 2 in the second.
I ran some kernel compiles comparing this patch on a 2 node 4 cpu/2 cpu
system to show the benefits. Without the patch I got 140 second elapsed
time. With the patch I get 132 seconds (6% better).
Although it is not very common to have nodes with dissimilar cpu counts, it
is already happening. PPC64 systems with partitioning have this happen,
and I expect it to be more common on ia32 as partitioning becomes more
common.

[PATCH] compat_sys_old_getrlimit() depends on

[PATCH] ext3: fix page lock vs journal_start ranking bug
ext3_block_truncate_page() is calling grab_cache_page() inside a JBD
transaction. This is wrong, because transactions nest inside lock_page().
The deadlock is against shrink_list->ext3_journalled_writepage->journal_start.
This was not noticed before because we never used to journal writepage() data
in journalled-data mode. And because the deadlock against
generic_file_write() is covered up by i_sem.
Rework things so that we lock the page prior to starting a transaction.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] ext3: fix memory leak
We need to unconditionally brelse() the buffer in there, because
journal_remove_journal_head() leaves a ref behind.
release_buffer_page() does that. Call it all the time because we can usually
strip the buffers and free the page even if it was not marked buffer_freed().
Mainly affects data=journal mode

scsi_to_pci_dma_dir and scsi_to_sbus_dma_dir are kept as stubs -
we define them to nothing as both the PCI and SBUS constants have
the same values as the generic dma mapping ones. Unfortunately
we can't check anymore whether someone messes this up as the values
are enumes now and not cpp defines.

Basically, PPP puts a zero length skbuff in the receive queue
as an error token, and the last change caused that to get flushed
as bad data.
Thanks to Diego Calleja Garcia, Matthew Harrell for validating this.

[PATCH] avoid Oops in net/core/dev.c
This fixes the kernel crash in the case when we do an SIOCSIFNAME
ioctl on /proc/net/dev to rename a network interface, and
we supply a string such as "foo%sbar".

[PATCH] check for presence of readpage() in the readahead code
Make sure that the address_space is capable of performing the readahead
before going in and allocating the pages.

[PATCH] Fix reiserfs BUG
From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
Fix BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh)) in submit_bh()
Reiserfs is submitting unmapped buffers into submit_bh(), which trips a
BUG.

[PATCH] Fix syslog(2) EFAULT reporting
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Add proper EFAULT reporting to sys_syslog.
This fixes some silly LTP test in the 32bit emulation of an AMD64 kernel.

[PATCH] Fix ide-cd rw mounts
From: Kouichi ONO <co2b@ceres.dti.ne.jp>
in 2.5.73, I can't read/write mount DVD-RAM via ide-scsi (only r/o mount).
Without ide-scsi, I can mount DVD-RAM read/write mode and works fine.
(acked by Jens).

[PATCH] Remove check_region and MOD_*_USE_COUNT from
From: Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org>
- Replace the call to MOD_INC_USE_COUNT with a __module_get() when
forcing the module to not be unloadable.
- Remove the check_region() calls and restructured things to only use
request_region().
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Remove racy check_mem_region() call from arc-rimi.c
From: Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org>
Removed the check_mem_region() call and replaced with request_mem_region().
Because of the way the driver is structured the first request_mem_region()
call gets the default memory area. After probing the complete memory area
that is needed to communicate with the device is known, so the first memory
area is released and the complete area is requested.

[PATCH] kmem_cache_destroy() forgets to drain all objects
From: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr>
kmem_cache_destroy() can fail with the following error: slab error in
kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `xxx': Can't free all objects but the cache
user really free'd all objects
This is because drain_array_locked() only frees 80% of thge objects.
Fix it by adding a parameter to drain_array_locked() telling it to drain
100% of the objects.

Add NCR Quad 720 SCSI driver
This adds support for the Q720 MCA SCSI driver. It's only really
useful on the voyager platform. The driver is preliminary and

[IPV6] Use macro for M-Flag and clean-up.
Use macro IP6_MF for the M-Flag.
Clean-up for readability (commented by <aj@dungeon.inka.de>).

[XFRM] Set SA saddr correctly
The source address of an SA is not necessarily equal to the source address
in the selector. This patch addresses this problem.
<herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
[IPSEC] split xfrm_state_replace + fixes
Split xfrm_state_replace into xfrm_state_add and xfrm_state_replace.
Fixes:
1. Only update update lifetime and encap options if the state is valid.
2. Disallow updates to states that do not exist.
3. Bail if afinfo cannot be found.
This brings SADB_UPDATE in line with what is required by RFC2367.
It is also needed by SFS NAT-T support as it needs to update valid
states when the encap ports move.
I've tweaked the logic slightly so that SADB_UPDATE will fail on a
larval state that hasn't undergone SADB_GETSPI. This is what RFC2367
calls for and it simplifies the code in that we don't have to call
find_acq for SADB_UPDATE.
This doesn't affect any of the three KMs as they either don't use
SADB_UPDATE or call SADB_GETSPI before doing an update.

Fix scsi device starvation handling
Doing some debugging after the SDET failure, I found that
if we reject a command at zero depth, we can get into the
infinite loop where we refuse a command to a LUN because it
is starved, but there's no returning command to run the SCSI
queues and fix the starvation.
The solution is to accept the command and remove the LUN from
the starved list.

[PATCH] scsi_ioctl_send_command fix
The SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl does not work in 2.5.73-bk7. The

[PCMCIA] Move "owner" field to pcmcia_socket.
Move ->owner field from socket operations to pcmcia_socket. (This
change is mainly for the SA11xx drivers, which use a core driver

[PATCH] USB storage: unusual_devs.h cleanups
This patch re-sorts unusual_devs.h and removes some duplicate entries.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: create associate_dev(), more US_*_DEVICE printout
This patch creates an associate_dev(), which is the mirror to
disassociate_dev(). It also adds some more printout when identifiying
devices that qualify for US_*_DEVICE codes so we need less interaction with
the reporting user.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: avoid sending URBs when disconnecting
This patch avoids sending URBs which are part of the reset system when the
device is being disconnected. It also makes the control thread avoid
starting anything for a device in that state.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: create private I/O buffer
This patch creates a private I/O buffer for the 'core' subdrivers. This
allows us to fix all cases of DMAing to/from the stacks, statics, or other
bad places.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: Cosmetic cleanups
This is some cosmetic cleanups. Things like changing dr to cr (they used
to stand for usb_devrequest, which is now usb_ctrlrequest), using strlcpy
instead of strncpy, and modifying some comments.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: General purpose I/O buffer allocation and management
This patch makes our private I/O buffer allocated such that it's pre-mapped
for DMA. We then add some logic to make sure that we don't try to re-map
it.
We also make the size of the buffer large enough for other sub-drivers,
which will be converted shortly.
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: logic cleanup
This patch cleans up the logic involved in setting URB flags a bit so it's
more evident that some flags are always set and other flags are only set
under certain conditons.

[PATCH] USB: zaurus SL-C700
This is a patch for usbnet for working with Zaurus SL-C700.

[PCMCIA] Ref-count the socket driver module on card insertion/removal.
Get/Put module when we insert and remove a card. This avoids a
potential deadlock when socket drivers are unloaded, and we have
a cardbus card known to the system.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Remove original module use accounting in register_callback.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Add work-around for bouncy card detect signals.
Add work-around for i82365-based socket drivers to the core PCMCIA
code. Since insert processing is not a time critical event, we can
afford to delay (by sleeping) these for everyone.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Allow socket drivers call pcmcia_parse_events directly.
Remove register_callback methods. Instead, allow socket drivers
pass their events directly into cs.c via pcmcia_parse_events().
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Remove now obsolete work queues, spinlocks and variables.
Since the cs.c pcmcia core has a per-socket thread, we don't need each
socket driver having a work queue and associated complexity.
Therefore, remove this complexity and allow the socket drivers to call
pcmcia_parse_events directly from their interrupt or timer handlers.

[PATCH] USB: turn down some debugging messages in uhci-hcd.
<James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
[PATCH] move sg_dma_ macros out of asm-i386/pci.h
These macros belong in asm-i386/scatterlist.h instead.
As the headers are disentangled this has shown up as a problem with my
MCA SCSI drivers since they no-longer include asm/pci.h in any form but
need to traverse the scatterlist.

[PATCH] update show_stack() in voyager for new prototype
When show_stack() was changed to take two arguments, the use in the

[PATCH] fix return value after hugetlb mmap failure
At the moment no one uses is_aligned_hugepage_range or is_hugepage_only_range,
but it is reasonable to assume they return true or false.
On error we want to return -EINVAL back to userspace.
<latten@austin.ibm.com>
[IPV6] Make ipsec tunnel work with ext hdrs
I noticed that using extensions headers along with IPsecv6 tunnel mode did
not work in 2.5.73 + patch-2.5.73-bk3. The following patch
checks "nexthdr" instead of "iph->nexthdr" which could be an
extension header. I tested this with tunnel mode and transport mode
with and without extension headers and it worked ok.
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Fix the code that checks for PCI IDE controller "native" vs "legacy"
modes.
It used to think that IDE controllers that weren't marked as "IDE storage"
PCI class (eg CMD IDE RAID controllers mark themselves as "RAID storage")
were always using legacy mode interrupt routing, which is bogus. In fact,
the whole native vs legacy thing only makes sense for the IDE storage class,
so fix the test to match.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[BRIDGE]: Ethernet bridge fixes.
1. STP protocol has no security, so malcontents can fuck with the
bridge's topology. The fixes are to ship with STP turned off
to protect the ignorant, and run STP packets through ebtables
netfilter for the smart.
Got this one via a russian hacker "Oleg K. Artemjev" <olli@rbauto.ru>
before he published the paper.
Bridge netfilter still needs work to give a nice face on this
but this patch gives the hooks to filter.
2. STP input processing was lax in it's length checking so I bet
you could make up a bomb packet.
My inspection while doing #1.
3. Forwarding table could be abused by sending forged packets with
bogus source address same as the local host. This came via
Lennart from Jerry Kreuscher <jerrykr@mindspring.com> who ran into
it by mistake.

[PATCH] rework 68360 interrupt handling code
Rework the interrupt handling code for the m68knommu 68360 sub-architecture.

[PATCH] USB: usb-skeleton.c usb_buffer_free() not called
dev->udev was set to NULL to indicate a device disconnect but we need
this value for usb_buffer_free() when device is still opened and cleanup is
