      [PATCH] Re: do_syslog/__down_trylock lockup in current BK · 0d8b3b44
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This fixes the lockup.
      
      The bug happened because reparenting in the CLONE_THREAD case was done in
      a fundamentally non-atomic way, which was asking for various races to
      happen: eg. the target parent gets reparented to the currently exiting
      thread ...
      
      (the non-CLONE_THREAD case is safe because nothing reparents init.)
      
      the solution is to make all of reparenting atomic (including the
      forget_original_parent() bit) - this is possible with some reorganization
      done in signal.c and exit.c. This also made some of the loops simpler.

      [PATCH] PCI individual resource handling · e47901f9
      Jens Axboe authored
      This merges the changes from 2.4-ac that allow drivers to enable (and
      mark as used) only a subset of PCI resources, for those drivers that
      need it (at this point apparently only the i845 IDE controller).

      [PATCH] undo 2.5.34 ftape damage · ac9c060c
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      In the 2.5.33->2.5.34 step someone removed "export-objs" from
      drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/Makefile, which makes it impossible to build
      ftape as a module since is _does_ have a number of EXPORT_SYMBOL's.
      
      This reverts that change.

      [PATCH] 2.5.34 floppy driver init/exit fixes · 9d1f9419
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      The 2.5 floppy driver has for a long time has two init/exit bugs:
      1. It calls register_sys_device() on init, but fails to call
         unregister_sys_device() in exit. This leads to data structure
         corruption if floppy is a module and it gets unloaded.
      2. If calls register_sys_device() early on init, but fails to call
         unregister_sys_device() if init fails. Again, this leads to
         data structure corruption.
      
      The patch below fixes both these problems.
