Summary of changes from v2.5.65 to v2.5.66
============================================


	[GENERIC ACCELERATION] Fixed the generic image drawing function tfor 64 bit machines.
	
	[RIVA FBDEV] The cursor and imageblit functions have been fixed.


	Accel rountines pass in constant data into each function. The reason being was some of the code in the upper layers depended on the data being passed to the low level function not be altered because the upper layers was altering the data themselves.
	
	Pan display fix for fbcon.c. p->vrow needed to be updated.
	
	PPC build fix for fbmon.c
	
	I810 fbdev updates. 


	[RADEON FBDEV] Add cursor support. Now the cursor is back.
	[RIVA FBDEV] Added support for interlace mode and are now using TRUECOLOR instead of DIRECTCOLOR. Setting the graphics card in DIRECTCOLOR confusses the X server.


	[NEOMAGIC FBDEV] Fix to work with no 21xx versions of the chip.


	[RIVA FBDEV] SUpprot Directcolor mode. Needed for some cards.


	[ATY FBDEV] Updates to support Rage Mobility Chipstes.


	[ATY FBDEV] Reversed mobilty patches. They busted every other card.  


	[FBCON] Removal of useless code.


	[LOGO] New better logo code. 
	
	[FBDEV] Moved a few more header files.


	[FBDEV] Data in struct fb_image is now const.
	
	[FBDEV] Updates to the logo code. We seperated it into two functions.
	
	[I810 FBDEV] Updates to the driver. PCI hooks for PCI supsend and resume to save the AGP GART mapping during power saving.
	
	[ATY 128] Add proper support for two graphics cards. Also added support for two more models of the Rage 128.
	
	[SGIVW FBDEV] Updates for the SGI Visual Workstation framebuffer.
	


	Removed obsolete functions in fbcon.c and re-enabled mapping console(s) to a framebuffer device. A few compile fixes for rivafb and using standard macros for vgacon.c.


	[FBDEEV] Need to add support to build pnmtologo.


	[FBDEV] Minor fixes for logo code.
	
	[FBCON] More optimizations for drawing a string of characters.
	
	[VGACON] Using more code from video/vga.h.
	[VGA] Changes membase to unsigned long to support 64 bit platforms.
	


	[SCTP] Add SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY get/setsockopt. 
	
	Also, rename all sctp_protocol_t -> struct sctp_protocol.
	Non-UDP-style SCTP sockets should ignore associd fields, so added
	this function into sctp_id2assoc() in anticipation of Sridhar's
	TCP-style work. 


	ALSA update
	  - AC97 codec
	    - better modem codec detection
	    - better AD1980 codec support
	  - HWDEP - added generic DSP firmware loading
	  - PCM - added FORWARD ioctl
	        - fixed CS46xx and emufx PCM drivers (appl_ptr update)
	  - sa11xx-uda1341 driver
	    - full duplex mode
	    - DMA stuff updated
	    - minor (but sometimes important) fixes
	  - via82xx driver
	    - fixed routing of multi-channels
	    - added a quirk for ALC650
	  - USB audio
	    - added quirk for plantronics headset


	[FBCON] More struct display cleanup. Also killed off static buffer for accel_putcs.


	[SCTP]  Supported address types should be based on pf_family.
	
	PF_INET sockets are advertising v6 address support.  Make this
	choice a pf_family function. 


	[ATY128 FBDEV] Moved aty128fb to aty/ and a few minor changes so aty128fb.c compiles with the newest compiler standards.


	[ATY FBDEV] Rage XL cards can now be booted with needed the BIOS :-)
	
	[FBCON] Moving to use ring buffers and DMA cards.


	[FRAMEBUFFER]: cfbcopyarea accesses fb without using FB_{READ,WRITE}L.


	[SCTP] Only consider C-E bundling up until C-E has been sent.
	
	Yes, it is _that_ obvious.  If someone does a connect (its not 
	required, but one can) the C-E may have already been sent by
	the time the first DATA is available.  Don't calculate in the C-E
	bundling overhead if we've already sent the C-E.    


	[SCTP] Fix typo in tsnmap.c  (Norbert Kiesel)


	[GENRIC ACCEL] Megred David Millers changes with my own. 
	
	[FBCON] Small scrolling fix. 


	[SCTP] accept() support for TCP-style SCTP sockets.


	[FBDEV] Accelerated functions pass in const structs.
	
	[ATY128 FBDEV] Gcc compile issue fixes.


	[SCTP] Add SCTP_NODELAY sockopt and message delay (ardelle.fan)
	
	Submitted by Ardelle Fan.  Add Nagle-like delay to SCTP so small
	messages try to bundle together.   Add sockopt to enable/disable
	the delay functionality.


	[FBDEV] Updates for the SIS fbdev driver to the new api. Removed poll. We wil use signals in the future instead.


	[SCTP] Fix out_qlen (pending data) count.
	
	Missed a few places on integration of TX delay code.  Also removed 
	out the 1/2 cwnd check so we behave more like pure Nagle. 


	[FBCON] Help clear margins for modes where the resolution does quite fit the console size.


	[TWIN TURBO FBDEV] Ported over to new api.


	[SIS FBDEV] Make it compile as a module.


	[SCTP] Receiver SWS prevention.
	
	Still had a bit of receiver SWS as the 'SACK every other packet' & 
	'delayed SACK timer' advertise the true buffer size.   So while the 
	'rwnd update' code wasn't sending SACKS, small reads in 
	combination with many incoming packets would still generate small 
	windows advertisements.  Don't advertise a larger a_rwnd until a 
	segment opens up.  Also, fix bug over in the Nagle that was preventing 
	most Nagling from occuring.


	[SCTP] Minor changes for tcp-style socket support.


	[SCTP] Fix panic on close()
	
	TCP-style changes took out the check against valid address in
	the statemachine debugging code.  Not good, as this protects
	us from accidentally touching the dead or dying association struct.


	[SIS FBDEV] More sisfb driver updates.
	
	[FBCON] Many fixes dealing with reszing the screen.


	[FBDEV] Enhanced data buffer management for drawing very large images.


	[FBDEV] Standardized using xxfb for setup strings.
	
	[FBDEV] Added proper syncing in pixmap code.
	
	[FBMON] Place limits on the DCLK clock.


	[FBDEV] Menu cleanups. Added in depenedency needed. More cleanup in fbcon layer.


	[CONSOLE] Nuked a few gloabl variables. Now that the console system supports different sized screens these gloabl variables are a bad idea.


	[NET]: Use fancy wakeups where applicable.


	[IPSEC]: Fix obvious typo in xfrm_sk_clone_policy.


	[SPARC64]: Fix up_clock_tick export.


	[SPARC64]: Move sparc64_init_timers into time.c


	[FBCON] Killing off more cursor fields in struct display. Use what is in struct vc_data.


	[SPARC64]: Kill SPARC64_USE_STICK and use real timer drivers.


	[SPARC64]: Fix timer quotient calcs.


	[SPARC64]: Convert Cheetah scheduler tuning to use tick_ops.


	[SPARC64]: Do not allow cache_decay_ticks to be zero.


	[SPARC64]: Initial cut at Hummingbird STICk support.


	[SPARC64]: kernel/time.c needs asm/smp.h


	[SPARC64]: Fix typo in __hbird_read_stick asm.


	[SPARC64]: Fix hbtick softint_mask.


	[FBCON] Cursor handling clean up. I nuked several static variables. 


	[SIS FBDEV] Added Maintiner for SIS fbdev driver.
	
	[FBDEV] Updates to drivers ported to new api.


	[CPUFREQ] Remove duplicate test. (Already done in longhaul_init())


	[CPUFREQ] Remove duplicate cpuid check from AMD powernow-k6 driver.


	[CPUFREQ] Remove duplicate cpuid check from longrun driver.


	[CPUFREQ] remove duplicate cpuid check from p4 clockmod driver.


	[XFS] initialize the iovec length in symlink cases
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:134770a


	[XFS] If cmn_err is called with a CR character at the end of the input then
	do not add one.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:134299a


	[XFS] remove _KERNEL from the flags used to turn macros into functions
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:134509a


	[XFS] rework readdir to be closer to the irix model internally, do all
	the filldir fixup at the linvfs layer. This is the V2 directory
	component, the V1 code still needs fixing up. We now return the
	same directory offsets as Irix does.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:134646a


	[XFS] validate_fields is called on a vnode to update directory related
	fields after a create/remove etc. Make sure we pass in all the
	flags for the status fields we want. NBLOCKS was missing and
	working by accident.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:134817a


	[XFS] prevent readdir from returning offsets of more than 2^31, these
	confuse user space. This limits the maximum amount of names in
	a directory on linux to 2Gbytes, which should not be a problem.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:135044a


	[XFS] remove a couple more sync transactions from xfs
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140254a


	[XFS] fix a couple of kmem issues, check for OOM in kmem_relalloc more
	and in the out of mem case, panic in the sleep case, not the 
	non-sleep case.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140364a


	[XFS] remove bad debug code

	[XFS] reduce byte swapping and spinlock usage in log write path
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140714a


	[XFS] remove VFS_DOUNMOUNT
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140841a


	[XFS] Add error reporting calls in error paths that return EFSCORRUPTED
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:136445a


	[XFS] Fix indices into xfs_min/xfs_max for sysctls in 2.5.x
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140972a


	[XFS] fix getdents so that xfs_da_read_buf doesn't return an EFSCORRUPTED except
	when there is a real problem.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:138531a


	[XFS] Fix freespace entry search to handle holes in the freespace area correctly.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:133509a

	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:136459a


	[XFS] Last of the dir2 backmerges from Irix
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140918a


	[XFS] getdents fix for dir v2
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:139574a


	[XFS] Add stack trace print to xfs_error_report, warning cleanup
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:136543a


	[XFS] In open, check the inode for extents after getting the shared lock on
	the inode.  The inode could have changed since before the lock.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:137931a


	[XFS] Remove #if(n)def __KERNEL__ from xfs_error.c, not needed
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:140981a


	[XFS] Turn on random() if INDUCE_IO_ERROR is defined
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141200a


	[XFS] First stage of behavior code cleanup - removes a bunch of unused macros
	related to read/write locking the behavior change.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141401a


	[XFS] use get/put_unaligned() to avoid unaligned accesses in
	the extents code on 64-bit machines
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141495a


	[XFS] Export end_buffer_async_write, needed for unwritten extent support in XFS.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141507a


	[XFS] Implement support for unwritten extents in XFS.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141508a


	[XFS] remove some unbounded loops from the unwritten and unmapped page
	processing code. As files get larger, these code paths have the
	potential to hog the cpu for long periods of time. Just cap the
	unmapped page case, and the unwritten one is supposed to be
	stopping at the end of the extent anyway.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141609a


	[XFS] time_after takes an unsigned long
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141237a


	[XFS] linvfs_file_mmap was updating the linux inode's atime twice.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141360a


	[XFS] Bump the reporting threshold on calls to XFS_ERROR_REPORT
	which are most likely due to a simple user error.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141751a


	[XFS] Find more appropriate homes for uuid_t, timespec_t and xfs_dirent_t defs.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141837a


	[XFS] Remove unneeded initialisations to zero, formatting cleanups, remove
	a no-longer-correct-comment, fix up symlink error path code, several
	minor changes to help keep this code more in sync with 2.4.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141838a


	[XFS] Minor header shuffling, removing a bunch of already-included files and
	allowing 2.4/2.5 to be slightly more in sync.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141841a


	[XFS] Fix permission checks for some ioctls.  Its now possible for ordinary
	users to use the preallocation calls if unwritten extents are enabled,
	and a couple of places where we were allowing operations if unwritten
	extents are enabled, but shouldn't have been, have been closed up.
	
	SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:141842a


	[FBCON]More optimizations. Removed moving struct display around.


	[SPARC64]: Fix __hbird_read_stick signedness, also hbird softint_mask.


	[FBDEV] If a colormap contains no transparency information, fb_set_cmap() calls
	fb_setcolreg() with trans = 0. This causes all CLUT entries to be fully
	transparent on hardware that does have transparency information in the CLUT
	registers.
	
	The following patch solves this problem by changing the default transparency
	from 0 (full transparent) to 0xffff (full opaque).


	[FBDEV] Ug!!! For some reason BK keeps removing this change. I hope this is the last time I have to add it.


	[PATCH] PARISC update
	
	PA-RISC patches for 2.5.65:
	
	 - Only remove palo.conf on a `make mrproper'
	 - Add a \ continuation to kernel/Makefile
	 - Reindent cache.c
	 - Always call schedule_tail
	 - Fix some typos in the hardware database
	 - Signal handling changes
	 - RAID, Device Mapper & BLKSZGET ioctl32 translations
	 - Clean up pci host bridge handling a bit.
	 - Make IDE link again
	 - Fix up compat changes
	 - Improve stack dumping code


	[PATCH] Fix noirqbalance
	
	Patch from Zwane Mwaikambo 
	
	This patch fixes what seems to have been a longstanding bug. Ever since we
	moved cpu bringup later into the boot process, we end up programming the
	ioapics before we have any of our possible cpus in the cpu_online_map.
	Therefore leading to the following current situation;
	
	For walmart-smp, bigsmp and summit we set the logical destination for cpu
	to TARGET_CPUS which can depend on the cpu_online_map, so what you would
	normally see with noirqbalance would be all interrupts handled on cpu0
	since at that stage no other cpu apart from the BSP is online.
	
	You can check for this by looking at the ioredtbls at boottime for a two
	way system;
	
	.... IRQ redirection table:
	 NR Log Phy Mask Trig IRR Pol Stat Dest Deli Vect:
	 00 000 00  1    0    0   0   0    0    0    00
	 01 001 01  0    0    0   0   0    1    1    39
	 02 001 01  0    0    0   0   0    1    1    31
	 03 001 01  0    0    0   0   0    1    1    41
	 04 001 01  0    0    0   0   0    1    1    49
	 05 001 01  0    0    0   0   0    1    1    51
	 06 001 01  0    0    0   0   0    1    1    59
	
	Notice that 'Log' is set to 1 instead of 3.
	
	This patch will simply reprogram all the ioredtbls to handle the other
	online cpus.
	
	Patch tested on my 2way P2-400 and a 16way NUMAQ both with noirqbalance.
	It will not affect the irqbalance case because we are simply setting
	TARGET_CPUS which is done anyway.

	[PATCH] Pass the load address into ELF_PLAT_INIT()
	
	Patch from Anton Blanchard 
	
	With ppc64 64bit dynamic executables we have to relocate the contents of the
	function descriptor.  Passing in the load address to ELF_PLAT_INIT allows us
	to do this.
	
	The patch allows ppc64 to run 64-bit executables and is a no-op for other
	architectures.


	[PATCH] remove unused block congestion code
	
	Patch from: Hugh Dickins 
	
	Removes a ton of dead code from ll_rw_blk.c.  I don't expect we'll be using
	this now.


	[PATCH] timer code cleanup
	
	- Use list_head functions rather than open-coding them
	
	- Use time comparison macros rather than open-coding them
	
	- Hide some ifdefs
	
	- uninline internal_add_timer().  Saves half a kilobyte of text.


	[PATCH] timer re-addition lockup fix
	
	This is a forward-port of Andrea's fix in 2.4.
	
	If a timer handler re-adds a timer to go off right now, __run_timers() will
	never terminate.  (I wrote a test.  It happens.)
	
	Fix that up by teaching internal_add_timer() to detect when it is being
	called from within the context of __run_timers() and to park newly-added
	timers onto a temp list instead.  These timers are then added for real by
	__run_timers(), after it has finished processing all pending timers.


	[PATCH] use set_current_state in fs
	
	Patch from Robert Love 
	
	This patch is by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez.
	
	There are a couple uses of 'p->state=foo' in fs/ which are open coded.
	This patch converts them to the proper [__]set_current_state() function.


	[PATCH] use set_current_state in mm
	
	Patch from Robert Love 
	
	There are a couple uses of 'p->state=foo' in mm/ which are open coded.
	This patch converts them to the proper [__]set_current_state() function.


	[PATCH] Fix memory leak in copy_thread
	
	Patch from Andi Kleen 
	
	copy_thread could leak memory if you had a io bitmap and passed wrong
	arguments to the new clone flags.


	[PATCH] file_list_lock contention fixes
	
	Patch from Manfred Spraul 
	
	Fixes the lock contention over file_list_lock by simply removing the unneeded
	anon_list.  So filp allocation does not need to take a global lock any more.
	
	The use of a spinlock to protect files_stat.nr_files is a bit awkward, but
	the alternative is a custom sysctl handler, and isn't much more efficient
	anyway.


	[PATCH] file->f_list locking in tty_io.c
	
	release_mem() is altering the file->f_list lists without taking the
	appropriate spinlock.


	[PATCH] file_list cleanup
	
	Replace the odd handling of f_list.next = NULL with list_emptiness.


	[PATCH] file_table: remove the private freelist
	
	- Remove the private freelist.  There's no point in special-casing file
	  structure allocations in this way.
	
	- Hence the freeing of files can be moved outside file_list_lock()
	
	- Replace euid test with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
	
	- Tidy various other things up.


	[PATCH] file_list: less locking
	
	- optimise file_kill() to not take the global lock if the file is not on a
	  list.
	
	- Use optimised file_kill() in a few places rather than open-coding the
	  list removal.


	[PATCH] stack reduction in drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c
	
	Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" 
	
	This patch (to 2.5.64) reduces the stack usage in vt_ioctl()
	from 0x334 bytes to 0xec bytes (P4, UP, gcc 2.96).


	[PATCH] a few missing stubs for !CONFIG_MMU
	
	Patch from Christoph Hellwig 
	
	This is from the uClinux patches - there are a few more stubs needed
	in nommu.c to get the mmuless plattforms working.


	[PATCH] slab changes for !CONFIG_MMU
	
	Patch from Christoph Hellwig 
	
	It extends the maximum amount of memory which may be kmalloced on nommu
	machines.  This is needed because these machines cannot perform vmalloc().
	
	We couldn't really find a way of doing this which avoided the ifdef tangle.


	[PATCH] memleak in fs/nfs/inode.c::nfs_get_sb()
	
	Patch from Oleg Drokin 
	
	   There is trivial memleak on error exit path in nfs get_sb function.


	[PATCH] Memleak in fs/ufs/util.c
	
	Patch from Oleg Drokin 
	
	    There is trivial memleak on error exit path in

	[PATCH] posix timers update
	
	Patch from george anzinger 
	
	Fix the "large sleep returns EINVAL" problem, and clean a few things up.


	[PATCH] OOPS instance counters
	
	Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" 
	
	Adds an oops counter to the oops messages, such as:
	
		Oops: 0002 [#2]
	
	So we can tell whether oops reports refer to the first oops, or to some
	less-interesting followon oops.


	[PATCH] io-apic.c: DO_ACTION cleanup
	
	Patch from "Martin J. Bligh" 
	
	This removes the DO_ACTION stuff.  The downside is that we add some boring
	and repetive code.  The upside is that it's simple, and mere mortals can read
	it without screwing their brains into a small piece of silly putty and
	bouncing it off the wall.  I think that's more important than pure source
	code size.


	[PATCH] fix oprofile timer race
	
	Patch from John Levon 
	
	wli got an oops from this. The callbacks call mod_timer so the timer had
	better be setup by then


	[PATCH] pgd_index/pmd_index/pte_index commentary
	
	Patch from Dave Hansen 
	
	Adds some commentary to these newly-introduced macros.


	[PATCH] /proc/sysrq-trigger: trigger sysrq functions via
	
	This makes sysrq facilities available to remote users.
	
	Writing a 'C' to /proc/sysrq-trigger receives the same treatment as typing
	sysrq-C on the local keyboard.


	[PATCH] Tighten CONFIG_NUMA preconditions
	
	Patch from Martin J. Bligh and Dave Hansen
	
	People with ordinary PCs are accidentally turning on NUMA support, and people
	with NUMA machines are finding the NUMA option mysteriously disappearing.
	This patch sets the defaults to sane things for everyone, and only allows you
	to turn on NUMA with both SMP and 64Gb support on (it's useful for the
	distros on non-Summit boxes, but not on their UP kernels ;-)).
	
	I've also moved it below the highmem options, as it logically depends on
	them, so this makes more sense.  For those searching for NUMA support on
	*real* NUMA machine, Dave has provided some guiding comments to show them
	what they messed up (it's totally non-obvious).  Hopefully this will stop
	people's recent unfortunate foot-wounds (I think UP machines were defaulting
	to NUMA on ...  oops).


	[PATCH] Fix nfsd_symlink() failure path
	
	Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher 
	
	In both 2.5 and 2.4, the fs/nfsd/vfs.c:nfsd_symlink() function calls down to
	notify_change().  If notify_change fails for some reason, the error code is
	not converted to an nfs no-the-wire error code as is should.  The attached
	patches fix that (one for 2.4, the other for 2.5).


	[PATCH] Add error checking get_disk()
	
	Patch from Bob Miller 
	
	The get_disk() function should check the return value from kobject_get()
	before passing it to to_disk().  This patch fixes this error.

	[PATCH] sys_nanosleep() fix
	
	The current nanosleep implementation has a signedness problem which can cause
	it to sleep for 0x7ffffffe jiffies if a clock interrupt happens at the wrong
	time.
	
	The patch fixes that up, and also fixes an wrapping-unsafe 64-bit time
	comparison.  Also uninline tstojiffie(), which has three call sites.


	[PATCH] NMI watchdog fix
	
	From: William Lee Irwin III 
	
	The NMI watchdog has two different "modes": NMI_IO_APIC, which delivers NMI's
	through the IO-APIC, and NMI_LOCAL_APIC, which uses the local APIC vector
	table (LVT) to deliver the periodic NMI's.
	
	Only NMI_IO_APIC requires being able to set up the PIT so it can deliver
	NMI's through the IO-APIC, and so NMI_LOCAL_APIC has no dependency on the
	timer being set up through the IO-APIC and is unjustifiably disabled by
	check_timer() when the PIT cannot deliver interrupts through the IO-APIC.
	
	This is important because one of the most important uses of NMI_LOCAL_APIC is
	to get the NMI watchdog going when NMI_IO_APIC doesn't work.
	
	So what this patch does to repair the situation is instead of checking to see
	if the NMI watchdog is enabled at all, it instead checks whether the NMI
	watchdog is being used in NMI_IO_APIC mode when a failure to set up the NMI
	timer interrupt through the IO-APIC occurs.


	[PATCH] fix nanosleep() granularity bumps
	
	From: Tim Schmielau 
	
	Fixes the problem wherein nanosleep() is sleeping for the wrong duration.
	
	When starting out with timer_jiffies=0, the timer cascade is (unneccessarily)
	triggered on the first timer interrupt, incrementing all the higher indices.
	When starting with any other initial jiffies value, we miss that and end up
	with all higher indices being off by one.

	[PATCH] Fail setup_irq for unconfigured IRQs
	
	From: Zwane Mwaikambo 
	
	This patch makes us bail out in case we may have an interrupt which couldn't
	be associated with an interrupt controller.  Without this we allow
	unconfigured interrupts to be assigned and then later on we get "unexpected
	IRQ trap at vector xx" during the ack phase.
	
	scenario: This can occur if we fail irq setup during setup_IO_APIC_irqs for
	some reason or other and then miss getting assigned a vector.  Later on we
	then get assigned no_irq_type as our handler.
	
	Patch for i386 and x86_64


	[PATCH] raw driver: rewrite i_mapping only on final close
	
	The recent fix to the raw driver wasn't quite right: it rewrites the
	character-special inode's i_mapping to point back to itself on each close.
	So any other currently-open handles against /dev/raw/rawN get a nasty
	surprise.
	
	Change it to only rewrite i_mapping on the final close.
	
	Also, change it so that it only redirects its i_mapping on the initial open.
	This is not necessary, but is neater.


	[PATCH] raw driver: cleanups and small fixes
	
	- There was an unchecked bdget().  bdget can fail due to ENOMEM.

	- Replace MOD_INC_USE_COUNT with try_module_get(THIS_MODULE).  This allows
	  the raw module to be unloaded again.
	
	  The core kernel has already taken a ref on the module prior to entering
	  the ioctl, so try_module_get() cannot fail.


	[PATCH] slab: tune batchcounts for large objects
	
	From: Manfred Spraul

	- limit head array sizes for huge slab caches to one object per cpu.

	This patch against 2.5.63 adds kerneldoc comments to the public API in these files:
	- include/asm-i386/uaccess.h
	- arch/i386/lib/usercopy.c
	
	This patch only changes comments and one of the templates used by "make htmldocs",
	it does not change any code.


	[PATCH] fix acpi write throttle seq file breakage.
	
	From Pavel Machek


	[PATCH] Sysfs not handling show errors
	
	Originally by Rusty Lynch, munged by me, acked
	by Mochel.
	
	 Attempting to cat a sysfs file that returns an error will result in an
	 endless dump of garbage to the screen because the result of the specific
	 show operation was being saved to a size_t (unsigned) and then later
	 checked for a negative value.


	[PATCH] make nbd working in 2.5.x
	
	From Petr Vandrovec
	
	   we use nbd for our diskless systems, and it looks to me like that
	it has some serious problems in 2.5.x... Can you apply this patch
	and forward it to Linus?
	
	There were:
	* Missing disk's queue initialization
	* Driver should use list_del_init: put_request now verifies
	  that req->queuelist is empty, and list_del was incompatible
	  with this.
	* I converted nbd_end_request back to end_that_request_{first,last}
	  as I saw no reason why driver should do it itself... and
	  blk_put_request has no place under queue_lock, so apparently when
	  semantic changed nobody went through drivers...


	[PATCH] Several logic bugs.
	
	Lots of patches from Norbert Kiesel that fix up several silly
	 | vs. || and & vs. && bugs found with
		find ${1:-.} -name \*.c | xargs grep -En \
		 '![a-zA-Z0-9_ ]+(\|[^|]|\&[^&])|([^|]\||[^&]\&) *!'


	[PATCH] cdrom buffer too small
	
	dvd_read_physical() uses a 20 char buffer to read in the dvd structure,
	however the size is really 4 bytes header + 17 bytes body so layer->bca
	ends up containing garbage. Kudos to the nice folks who made it a non
	multiple of 4 bytes.

	[PATCH] Amifb wrong interrupt
	
	Amiga frame buffer device: request the correct interrupt, so we no longer get
	spurious interrupts. The old code worked only by accident.
	
	To avoid flicker when updating the display parameters, we do not use the real
	vertical blank interrupt, but instead ask the Copper to generate an interrupt
	after the bitplane and sprite pointers have been set up at the beginning of
	each frame.

	1/ set new MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag instead of old 'err = -EINTR'
	   when a resync thread is signaled - get rid of 'err' altogether in
	   md_do_sync
	2/ raid1 determines if resync is needed based on recovery_cp
	   rather than mddev->in_sync (which now has a very different meaning)
	3/ Don't update superblock when switching to writable mode.  The
	   first write will update the superblock instead.


	[CRYPTO]: Include linux/errno.h as appropriate.


	Fix sound driver timeout types. Again.


	[FBCON] Nuked the final gloabl variables for the cursor code.

	[PATCH] fix waitqueue leak in devfs_d_revalidate_wait
	
	devfs_d_revalidate_wait adds to a waitqueue but never removes from it
	again so we there's one entry full of reused stack space added on
	each call (I wonder how this ever worked).
	
	The function has a few more bugs (it effectivly does a sleep_on instead
	of checking for the actual even and can't deal with negative dentries
	at all), but I just had breakfast and don't want to poke into devfs
	internals deeper - I still hope Adam's smalldevfs will get merged
	anyway..


	[PATCH] rempove CONFIG_DVB_DEVFS_ONLY
	
	Adrian Bunk noticed that there's an exposed config option to use the
	now gone DEVFS_FL_AUTO_DEVNUM in the dvb code - remove it.


	[PATCH] make devfs_put() static to fs/devfs/base.c
	
	Not use anywhere else nor should it.


	[PATCH] remove DEVFS_FL_REMOVABLE
	
	Devfs tries to be super smart and rereads partition tables at all
	kinds of wierd points.  This breaks a bunch of stuff were you
	can't get the right disk changed information (i.e. CompactFlash).
	
	If people actually need this kind of stuff they should just call partx
	from devfsd instead of relying on the kernel doing something like this.
	
	Cleans up the devfs code significatnly (aka removes tons of junk)


	[PATCH] get rid of __MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/__MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT
	
	As the netfilter folks don't seem to have any interest in 2.5 currently
	I decided to fix their last uses of those old module interfaces myself.
	The implementation (get a reference first and release it again when
	not actually needed) might be slightly suboptimial but the netfilter
	team should just fix it if/when they get any interest in Linux 2.5/2.6.
	
	Also fix the MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT to give more accurate
	deprecation warnings.


	Avoid warning with modern gcc's in xfrm_policy.c


	[PATCH] Fix ncpfs and rpcgss order in fs/Kconfig
	
	RPCSEC_GSS options are related to (only) nfs/nfsd, so it is
	more logical to ask RPCSEC_GSS questions immediately after
	nfs/nfsd, not after half of screen more questions.
	
	NCPFS related options should appear immediately below
	ncpfs question, not after Coda and RPCSEC...


	[PCI] Don't call pci_update_resource() for bridge resources.
	  
	Minor cleanup: don't call pci_update_resource() for bridges,
	get rid of bogus "trying to set non-standard region" messages thus.


	[PCI] Make setup-bus.c aware of cardbus bridges.
	
	Comments from rmk:
	
	Make setup-bus.c properly aware of cardbus bridges.  We treat the
	bus behind a cardbus bridge more or less like any other bus, except
	we don't explicitly descend below.  We do, however, explicitly
	reserve IO and memory space as we have done in the past.  Memory
	space is doubed to 32MB as a measure to allow the Mobility
	cardbus-pci stuff to work.  The amount of space reserved is now
	specified by a couple of #defines at the top of the file.
	
	This allows pci_bus_assign_resources() and pci_bus_size_bridges()
	to be called for both root buses as well as cardbus secondary buses.
	
	Comments from Ivan follows:
	
	This patch combines your(rmk) cardbus changes (formerly pci-11)
	and my "arbitrary resource layout" stuff. This + current bk works
	on nautilus.
	
	Most interesting feature: this can be used on partially
	allocated PCI tree. For instance, i386 PCI code has always been
	absolutely helpless wrt incorrectly initialized p2p bridges.
	Now it can just call pci_assign_unassigned_resources() in the
	end of PCI init and it would fix following problems:
	- completely uninitialized bridge windows (with base and limit 0);
	- erroneously "closed" windows;
	- windows overlapping with something else.


	[PCI] Fix incorrect PCI cache line size assumptions.
	
	Fix incorrect PCI cache line size assumptions on i386 and thus
	avoid potential memory corruption with Memory Write-and-Invalidate.

	[PATCH] redo the n_tty fix
	
	Two problems with the original change
	
	1. We should return bytes actually processed on an error according to
	SuS/POSIX. Technically the EFAULT path is outside the spec but its best
	we follow
	
	2. We need to fix most of this anyway because the final section of the
	change was wrong. If retval was set we retried and got an efault again
	in some cases
	
	I think this way of doing it is right but it could do with further
	review

	[PATCH] pcmcia: check return values of driver_register


	[PATCH] pcmcia: add bus_type pcmcia_bus_type
	
	Register a bus_type pcmcia_bus_type. This means the initialization of
	the ds module needs to be done in two levels: one quite early
	(subsys_initcall) so that drivers may use the bus_type; the other one
	must stay that late (late_initcall). As only one initcall can be
	specified within one module, some tweaking is needed.


	[PATCH] pcmcia: register drivers with bus
	
	Register all pcmcia drivers with the pcmcia bus within the old
	register_pccard_driver() function. Alternatively, a new
	registration function "pcmcia_register_driver()" (and its
	counterpart,  "pcmcia_unregister_driver()") can be used.


	[PATCH] pcmcia: remove single linked list of drivers
	
	Remove the linked list of pcmcia_drivers. It didn't even handle removal of a
	driver properly, so it won't be missed all that much.


	[PATCH] pcmcia: convert pccard_cs driver to new registration interface
	
	Convert the pcnet_cs driver to use the new registration call.

	of the driver.
	
	From Ben Herrenschmidt.


	[PATCH] SMP-safe macserial driver
	
	The patch below removes the uses of save_flags/restore_flags/cli

	[PATCH] update via-pmu driver
	
	This patch forward-ports various fixes to the driver for the PMU
	(power manager unit) on powermacs and powerbooks from 2.4, and in

	From Ben Herrenschmidt.


	[PATCH] update MESH scsi driver
	
	This patch updates the `mesh' scsi driver used on older powermacs to

	using cmd->device->id instead of cmd->target).


	[PATCH] update mac53c94 scsi driver
	
	This patch updates the mac53c94 scsi HBA driver, used on older
	powermacs, to correspond with the recent scsi subsystem changes, to
	use the PCI DMA API, to not panic, and to use a spinlock instead of
	save_flags/restore_flags/cli/sti.


	[PATCH] fix powerbook media bay
	
	This patch fixes a couple of bugs and compile errors in the powerbook
	media bay driver.  It was getting initialized after the IDE subsystem,
	whereas it needs to be initialized before so that the IDE subsystem
	can see the CD-ROM drive in the bay.


	[PATCH] Make nonlinear mappings fully pageable
	
	This patch requires arch support.  I have patches for ia32, ppc64 and x86_64.
	Other architectures will break.  It is a five-minute fix.  See
	
		http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2003-03/msg00174.html
	
	for implementation details.
	
	
	Patch from: Ingo Molnar 
	
	the attached patch, against BK-curr, is a preparation to make
	remap_file_pages() usable on swappable vmas as well.  When 'swapping out'
	shared-named mappings the page offset is written into the pte.
	
	it takes one bit from the swap-type bits, otherwise it does not change the
	pte layout - so it should be easy to adapt any other architecture to this
	change as well.  (this patch does not introduce the protection-bits-in-pte
	approach used in my previous patch.)
	
	On 32-bit pte sizes with an effective usable pte range of 29 bits, this
	limits mmap()-able file size to 4096 * 2^29 == 2 TBs.  If the usable range is
	smaller, then the maximum mmap() size is reduced as well.  The worst-case i
	found (PPC) was 2 hw-reserved bits in the swap-case, which limits us to 1 TB
	filesize.  Is there any other hw that has an even worse ratio of sw-usable
	pte bits?
	
	this mmap() limit can be eliminated by simply not converting the swapped out
	pte to a file-pte, but clearning it and falling back to the linear mapping
	upon swapin.  This puts the limit into remap_file_pages() alone, but i really
	hope no-one wants to use remap_file_pages() on a 32-bit platform, on a larger
	than 1-2 TB file.
	
	sys_remap_file_pages() is now enforcing the 'prot' parameter to be zero.
	This restriction might be lifted in the future - i really hope we can have
	more flexible remapping once 64-bit platforms are commonplace - eg.  things
	like memory debuggers could just use the permission bits directly, instead of
	creating many small vmas.
	
	i've tested swappable nonlinear ptes and they are swapped out/in
	correctly.
	
	some other changes in -A0 relative to 2.5.63-BK:
	
	 - slightly smarter TLB flushing in install_page(). This is still only a
	   stupid helper functions - a more efficient 'walk the pagecache tree
	   and pagetable at once and use TLB-gather' implementation is preferred.
	
	 - cleanup: pass on pgprot_t instead of unsigned long prot.
	
	 - some sanity checks to make sure file_pte() rules are followed.
	
	 - do not reduce the vma's default protection to PROT_NONE when using
	   remap_file_pages() on it. With swappable ptes this is now safe.


	[PATCH] filemap_populate speedup
	
	filemap_populate() is currently doing page-at-a-time synchronous I/O.  Add a
	call to do_page_cache_readahead() in there so we do a big slurp of IO first.
	
	This is minimal - a lot of the filemap_populate() code can be
	rationalised yet.


	[PATCH] x86_64: support for file offsets in pte's
	
	Path from Andi Kleen 
	
	Add x86_64 support for file offsets in pte's.


	[PATCH] ppc64 support for file file-offset-in-pte
	
	ppc64 support for file file-offset-in-pte


	[PATCH] inode a/c/mtime modification speedup
	
	For some filesystems (ext3, reiserfs at least), ->dirty_inode() is very
	expensive.  The kernel is currently calling mark_inode_dirty() at up to 1000
	times/sec/inode.  But there is no need to do this if the filesystem cannot
	store high-resolution times on-disk.
	
	This patch restores the optimisation of only dirtying the filesystem inode
	when its on-disk representation has actually changed.
	
	The filesystem will set the MS_ONE_SECOND flag in sb->s_flags to indicate
	that it wishes to receive this treatment.
	
	The patch does reduce the call rate to ext3_mark_inode_dirty() from 1000/sec
	to 1/sec, but it doesn't make much difference at all to performance because
	we're calling ext3_mark_inode_dirty() from other callsites as well.  Those
	can be optimised too.


	[PATCH] Implement a/c/time speedup in ext2 & ext3
	
	Turn on MS_ONE_SECOND in ext2 and ext3.


	[PATCH] remove lock_kernel() from inode_setattr's
	
	vmtruncate() does not need lock_kernel().  And lock_kernel() is not taken by
	other vmtruncate() callers.


	[PATCH] speed up vm_enough_memory()
	
	This function is called a lot.  Every brk().  The atomic_add() against a
	global counter hurts on large SMP machines.
	
	The patch simply reduces the rate at which that atomic operation is
	performed, by accumulating a per-cpu count which is spilled into the global
	counter when the local counter overflows.
	
	It trades off efficiency for a little inaccuracy.
	
	I tried various implementations involving kmalloc_percpu() and open-coded
	per-cpu arrays in a generic "per-cpu counter" thing.  They all were
	surprisingly sucky - the additional cache misses involved in walking the more
	complex data structures really showed up.


	[PATCH] remove lock_kernel() from readdir implementations.
	
	Filesystems which are using generic_file_llseek() do not need lock_kernel()
	in their readir implementations.  All operations (including llseek) are
	serialised by the directory's i_sem.
	
	Just fix ext2 and ext3 for now.  Others may need locking between readdir and
	who-knows-what.


	[PATCH] __bdevname atomicity fix
	
	This function was recently converted to use rwsem locking.  But it is called
	from interrupts in (at least) buffer_io_error().
	
	And we do want a function like this to be robust and atomic.  So convert it
	to use spinlocking.


	[PATCH] register_blkdev() fixes
	
	- It was racy, if two threads try to register a blockdev with major=0 they
	  could both choose the same major for different devices.
	
	  Fix that by extending the coverage of the rwsem.
	
	- kmalloced local variable `p' was leaking on an error path.


	[PATCH] make the bdevname() API sane
	
	bdevname returns a pointer to a static string.  Change it so that the caller
	passes in the buffer.


	[PATCH] mwave oops fixes
	
	The mwave driver oopses if you do not have the hardware installed.  It is
	running device_unregister() and device_remove_file() against things whch were
	never created.


	[PATCH] dev_t [1/3]: kill cdev
	
	Patch from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl
	
	Now that 2.5.65 is out, the next dev_t patch.  It was a bit large and
	unreadable, so I split it into three clean pieces.  Afterwards, since many
	people ask for this, a fourth patch that actually changes the type of dev_t
	(not to be applied yet, that is just for playing).
	
	The first patch is the cdev-kill patch that I sent out earlier.  It is no use
	having two forms of chardev registration in the source, and my version of the
	path of small modifications does not pass through this version, although the
	final result will not be that different.  So, kill cdev_cachep,
	cdev_cache_init, cdfind, cdget, cdput, inode->i_cdev, struct char_device.
	All of this is dead code today.
	
	The second patch removes MAX_CHRDEV.
	
	The third patch polishes linux/major.h.


	[PATCH] dev_t [2/3] - remove MAX_CHRDEV
	
	Patch from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl
	
	The actual patch for today is this part.  I already quoted most of this on
	the list earlier this week.
	
	In order not to have to change all drivers, I did
	
	+int register_chrdev(unsigned int major, const char *name,
	+                   struct file_operations *fops)
	+{
	+       return register_chrdev_region(major, 0, 256, name, fops);
	+}
	
	so that the old register_chrdev registers a single major and 256 minors.
	Later this can be changed (but see my letter to Al last week).
	
	The only driver that is tricky is the tty driver.  Here some major cleanup
	happened - all tty specific stuff disappeared from char_dev.c, and tty uses
	the actual register_chrdev_region() call.
	
	There is a race in register_chrdev_region() that I did not worry about: when
	two dynamic majors 0 are registered simultaneously, one of them will be first
	and the other one gets -EBUSY.  If this is a problem, the code there will
	have to be uglified a little.  I didn't do that because it disappears again
	in a subsequent patch.


	[PATCH] dev_t [3/3]: major.h cleanups
	
	Patch from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl
	
	The third patch removes the last occurrences of MAX_BLKDEV and MAX_CHRDEV and
	sorts the majors in major.h.  It also updates the definition of
	SCSI_DISK_MAJOR.


	[PATCH] timer simplification
	
	From: george anzinger 
	
	Remove the `index' field from the timer structures.  It contains the same
	info as the timer_jiffies field.
	
	So just use the base->timer_jiffies field directly.


	[PATCH] simplify the timer lockup avoidance code
	
	From: george anzinger 
	
	The recently-added code which avoids a lockup when a timer handler re-adds
	the timer right now can be simplified.
	
	If we change __run_timers() to increment base->timer_jiffies _before_ running
	the timers, then any re-additions will not be inserted in the list which
	__run_timers is presently walking.


	[PATCH] pagecache accounting speedup
	
	From: Alex Tomas 
	
	This is the second half of the vm_enough_memory() speedup.
	
	When overcommit_memory != 1, vm_enough_memory() calls get_page_state() to
	calculate the amount of used pagecache.  It does this on every call to
	sys_brk().
	
	get_page_state() is really expensive on SMP.
	
	So the patch arranges for pagecache accounting to be in a global atomic_t,
	with per-cpu batching and approximate accounting to amortise the cost of the
	global atomic.
	
	The nr_pagecache field of /proc/vmstat is removed.


	[PATCH] ext3: fix use-after-free bug
	
	ext3_writepage() calls ext3_journal_stop(), which dereferences the affected
	inode.
	
	It does this _after_ writing the page out, which is illegal.  The IO can
	complete, the page can be repeased from the inode and the inode can be freed
	up.
	
	It's a long-standing bug.  It has been reported happening on preemptible
	kernels, where the timing window is larger.
	
	Fix that up by teaching ext3_journal_stop to locate the superblock via the
	journal structure, not via the inode.
	
	This means that ext3_journal_stop() does not need the inode argument at all.
	
	Also uninline the affected functions.  It saves 5.5 kbytes.
	
	Also remove the setting of sb->s_dirt in ext3_journal_stop().  That was an
	awkward way of telling sys_sync() that the filesystem needs a commit, and
	with the ext3_sync_fs() that is no longer needed.


	[PATCH] make list.h barriers smp-only
	
	From: Dipankar Sarma 
	
	This patch makes the list macros use smp-only version of the barriers,
	no need to hurt UP performance.


	[PATCH] sync_filesystems commentary and latency fix
	
	- Add some commentary to this function
	
	- Add a mutex to prevent new callers of sync_filesytems() from DoSing
	  currently-running caller.


	[PATCH] fix .text.exit error in OSS awe_wave.c
	
	From: Adrian Bunk 
	
	I got a .exit.text error in 2.5.65.
	
	The problem is that in sound/oss/awe_wave.c the __init function
	_attach_awe calls the __exit function awe_release_region.
	
	The following patch that removes the __exit from awe_release_region
	fixes it.


	[PATCH] Make arch-independent syscalls return long
	
	From: "Randy.Dunlap" 
	
	Fix up various syscalls to return longs, as x86_64 and ia64 (at least)
	require.


	[PATCH] More syscalls-returning-long
	
	From: Robert Love 
	
	Additional work to make syscalls return longs.


	[PATCH] remove the "half of memory" limit on mlock() and
	
	It seems pretty pointless and people do complain about it occasionally.


	[PATCH] ptrace_notify() locking
	
	Spotted by Dawson Engler.
	
	recalc_signpending() needs tsk->sighand->siglock.

	[IPSEC]: Fix minor mispatch of xfrm splitup patch.


	[EBTABLES] hold usage count on table module when it contains rules


	Use '#ifdef' instead of '#if' to test CONFIG_xxxx variables. It works
	both ways, but anal compilers will warn about using identifiers that
	have never been defined in preprocessor expression statements.


	[PATCH] Fix IDE disable_irq() deadlock
	
	This fixes one of the long standing IDE hangs on SMP. If you
	get an error we disable the IRQ, unfortunately we may be in
	the IRQ handler
	
	This change gets us back working but does introduce a small
	potential race I need to investigate further and fix up in
	a nicer fashion.
	
	IDE should do error handling in a seperate context (as SCSI
	does) but not for 2.6.

	Fix the IDE hang people see with 2.5.65-bk
	
	From Dominik Brodowski 


	[PATCH] Remove obsolete NFSD syscall varients.
	
	Three varients of the NFSD system call use __kernel_* types in defining
	the arg, which is bad: these types should not be exposed to userspace.
	
	Particularly as __kernel_dev_t might change soon.
	
	Two of the varients, getfh and uidmap, are not implemented, getfh is
	deprecated and uidmap never was and never will be implemented.
	
	This patch removes (almost) all trace of these two varients, including
	all the 32bit-compat system call translators for various 64bit
	platforms.
	
	The third varient that uses __kernel_* types, export, is not so easy to
	deal with, so it will be kept for later.


	[PATCH] reenable interrupts in parport code
	
	parport_register_port() does spin_lock_irq() then spin_unlock().
	
	This causes the IDE code to mysteriously go BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()) in a
	later initcall.


	[PATCH] warning fixes
	
	- uninitialised var warning in pci_update_resource
	
	- fix jiffy comparison type warnings in parport_pc.c


	[PATCH] more generic syscall return value type fixes
	
	It was good to see the syscall return value types being fixed but still
	some cases are missing.  I attach a patch which fixes at least those
	which cause problems to me in the moment.


	[PATCH] devfs_mk_symlink simplification
	
	All devfs_mk_symlink arguments except the from and to strings are
	unused.  Bring the prototype in shape.


	[PATCH] cleanup input_register_minor
	
	Always pass the input/ prefix to input_register_minor instead of using
	the first argument to devfs_register


	[PATCH] don't include swap.h in mm.h
	
	swap.h is basically the header for MM internals instead of the
	public API (mm_internal.h would have been a better name..).  Stop
	including it in mm.h - this only needs moving one function that
	should be in swap.h anyway to the right place and fixing up a bunch
	of places using it.


	[PATCH] convert remaining register_pcmcia_driver users
	
	Convert remaining register_pcmcia_driver users to use the new
	pcmcia_register_driver interfaces.


	[PATCH] compat_uptr_t and compat_ptr
	
	This creates compat_uptr_t (to represent a user mode pointer passed to
	the kernel other than as a syscall parameter) and compat_ptr() to
	convert it to a kernel pointer. 
	
	This fixes a couple of bugs in s390x (where the conversion of pointers
	actually does something). 


	[IPV6]: Process all extension headers via ipproto->handler.

	Needed to get the only callder of devfs_mk_dir where the first argument
	is not NULL back in shape.  Also a nice code cleanup..


	[PATCH] devfs_mk_dir simplification
	
	All arguments except the name are unused - remove them and make the

	 - simplify constructs, make code more readable


	[PATCH] Request queue micropatch
	
	FYI, I have gotten some most strange results with the equivalent of:
	
	     request_queue_t *q = kmalloc(...);
	     blk_init_queue(q, ...)
	
	The problem turns out to be that q->backing_dev_info.memory_backed is not
	initialized, leaving it to be whatever was there before.  The end result is
	that my "driver" never saw write requests, but reads came through fine.
	Took a while to figure out that one...
	
	Here's the fix, for what it's worth.  (I had, BTW, tried just zeroing the
	whole structure in blk_init_queue(), but that makes IDE oops at boot - it
	sets q->queuedata early).


	[PATCH] another fix for compat_ptr
	
	This is the other part of the missing bits of the compat_ptr patch
	pointed out to me by Andrew Morton and Dave Miller. This is just

	his own already.

	[PATCH] epoll with selectable ET/LT behaviour ...
	
	This patch adds selectable EdgeTriggered/LevelTriggered behaviour to
	epoll.
	
	It has been widely discussed on lkml about two weeks ago and everyone
	very welcome the change.  It has been even more widely discussed through
	private emails with application developers, that do not feel confortable
	posting on lkml.  The great value of the patch is that selecting the LT
	behaviour, applications using poll/select can be ported very easily to
	epoll, making existing apps to benefit from epoll scalability with very
	short ETA's.
	
	The API remains the same with the addition of a EPOLLET event flag that
	sets the LT/ET behaviour for that fd.


	[PATCH] back out broken bits of previous cyclades patch.


	[PATCH] guard mad16 debug macro.
