  drivers/ide/probe.c initializes gd->de_arr and gd->flags twice. Except that
it is unnecessary it also leaks memory.

Edition 4.1 of the System V Application Binary Interface says that
"The first namesz bytes in name contains a null-terminated
representation of the entry's owner or originator".  This implies that
the terminating null is included in namesz, which is corroborated by
the example that follows the description.  However, this is not what
the Linux kernel does when it writes its notes into an ELF core dump.
The attached patch fixes this.

HACK ALERT! This needs to be fixed to do what reiserfs
actually thinks it _should_ do.

In usb_bluetooth_probe, the transfer buffers for the write pool urbs
are allocated with size 0, because bluetooth->bulk_out_buffer_size isn't set
until after the loop.

Moved the file ops and minor number stuff out of the usb structure,
Now usb_register_dev() and usb_deregister_dev() must be called if 
you want to use the USB major number.

This patch removes BKL protection from the invocation of the
super_operations ->statfs() method, and shifts it into the filesystems
where necessary. Any out-of-tree filesystems may need to take the BKL in
their statfs() methods if they were relying on it for synchronisation.

All ->statfs() implementations have been modified to take the BKL,
except for those that don't reference any external mutable data or that
already have their own locking.

Additionally, capifs is changed to use simple_statfs rather than its
own home-grown version.

The BKL change has been flagged at the end of
Documentation/filesystems/porting, along with the recent change to
->permission BKL usage.

I chose a little bit more restrictive license for my drivers.
Rx skb pool introduced in pegasus driver and the pool locking in rtl8150
is refined.

	* ->i_dev followed the example of ->s_dev - it's dev_t now.  All
remaining uses of ->i_dev either outright want dev_t (stat()) or couldn't
care less (printing major:minor in /proc/<pid>/maps, etc.)

	* JFS uses its ->logdev only twice - one of the places assigns
it to_kdev_t(le32_to_cpu(...)), another uses kdev_t_to_nr() of it.
Switched to u32 - it's just a place where we store device number we'd got
from superblock.
	* several reiserfs_fs.h function prototypes removed - functions
in question don't exist anymore.
	* smbfs doesn't support device nodes; ->f_rdev removed.

	* svc_export ->ex_dev turned into dev_t.  It's a pure search
key and all places that set it actually do to_kdev_t(some_dev_t_expression).

	* ->dev killed for md/linear.c (same as previous parts)

	* md_import_device() returns resulting rdev or ERR_PTR(error)
instead of returning 0 or error an letting caller find rdev.

	* a bunch of callers of partition_name() are calling
bdev_partition_name(),
	* the last users of raid1 and multipath ->dev are gone; so are
the fields in question.

	* ->diskop() split into individual methods; prototypes cleaned
up.  In particular, handling of hot_add_disk() gets mdk_rdev_t * of
the component we are adding as an argument instead of playing the games
with major/minor.  Code cleaned up.

	* ->error_handler() switched to struct block_device *.
	* md_sync_acct() switched to struct block_device *.
	* raid5 struct disk_info ->dev is gone - we use ->bdev everywhere.
	* bunch of kdev_same() when we have corresponding struct block_device *
and can simply compare them is removed from drivers/md/*.c

	* since the last caller of is_read_only() is gone, the function
itself is removed.
	* destroy_buffers() is not used anymore; gone.
	* fsync_dev() is gone; the only user is (broken) lvm.c and first
step in fixing lvm.c will consist of propagating struct block_device *
anyway; at that point we'll just use fsync_bdev() in there.
	* prototype of bio_ioctl() removed - function doesn't exist
anymore.

	* Bunch of functions in cdrom.c used to get kdev_t and use it
only to do cdrom_find_device(dev), even though their callers already
had struct cdrom_device_info * in question.  Switched to passing
said pointer directly.
	* useless exports removed; stuff not used outside of cdrom.c
made static.

	* calc_dev_sboffset() and calc_dev_size() in md.c are getting
mk_rdev_t instead of kdev_t.  Callers updated.
	* calls of blkdev_size_in_bytes() in md.c replaced with use
of rdev->bdev->bd_inode->i_size.

	* devpts "upcalls" eliminated.
	* instead of playing games with revalidation we simply use
ramfs-style tree and kill dentries upon devpts_pty_kill().  That
allows to get rid of a lot of code in fs/devpts/*.c.
	* devpts_fs.h cleaned up.
	* devpts/root.c and devpts/devpts_i.h removed.
	* array of pointers to devpts inodes killed; with ramfs-style tree
it's not needed anymore.
	* devpts/inode.c cleaned up.
	* devpts_pty_new() used to get mk_kdev() only to convert it to
dev_t (hardly a surprise, since it's mknod() in disguise).  Now it gets
dev_t as an argument.

This is Bill Irwin's cleanup patch which gives symbolic names to the
fault types:

	#define VM_FAULT_OOM	(-1)
	#define VM_FAULT_SIGBUS	0
	#define VM_FAULT_MINOR	1
	#define VM_FAULT_MAJOR	2

Only arch/i386 has been updated - other architectures can do this too.

The blockdev mapping's private_lock is fairly contended.  The buffer
LRU cache fixed a lot of that, but under page replacement load,
try_to_free_buffers is still showing up.

Moving the freeing of buffer_heads outside the lock reduces contention
in there by 30%.

Add a BUG() check to __free_pages_ok() - to catch someone freeing a
page which has a non-zero refcount.  Actually, this check is mainly to
catch someone (ie: shrink_cache()) incrementing a page's refcount
shortly after it has been freed

Also clean up __free_pages_ok() a bit and convert lots of BUGs to BUG_ON.

Fix a buglet in invalidate_list_pages2(): there is a small window in
which writeback could start against the page before this function locks
it.

The patch closes the race by performing the PageWriteback test inside
PageLocked.

Testing PageWriteback inside PageLocked is "definitive" - when a page
is locked, writeback cannot start against it.

This is a patch which Stephen has applied to ext3's 2.4 repository.
Originally written by Andreas, generalised somewhat by Stephen.

Add jbd callback mechanism, requested for InterMezzo.  We allow the jbd's
client to request notification when a given handle's IO finally commits to
disk, so that clients can manage their own writeback state asynchronously.

Forward-port of a fix which Stephen has applied to ext3's 2.4 CVS tree.

Fix for a rare problem seen under stress in data=journal mode: if we
have to restart a truncate transaction while traversing the inode's
direct blocks, we need to deal with bh==NULL in ext3_clear_blocks.

generic_writepages and mpage_writepages are basically identical,
except one calls ->writepage() and the other calls mpage_writepage().
This duplication is irritating.

The patch folds generic_writepage() into mpage_writepages().  It does
this rather kludgily: if the get_block argument to mpage_writepages()
is NULL then use ->writepage().

Can't think of a better way, really - we could go for a fully-blown
write_actor_t thing, but that would be overly elaborate and would not
allow mpage_writepage() to be inlined inside mpage_writepages(), which
is rather desirable.

Fixes a bug in generic_writepages() and its cut-n-paste-cousin,
mpage_writepages().

The code was clearing PageDirty and then baling out if it discovered
the page was nder writeback.  Which would cause the dirty bit to be
lost.

It's a very small window, but reversing the order so PageDirty is only
cleared when we know for-sure that IO will be started fixes it up.

The `page allocation failure' warning in __alloc_pages() is being a
pain.  But I'm persisting with it...

The patch renames PF_RADIX_TREE to PF_NOWARN, and uses it in a few
places where allocations failures are known to happen.  These code
paths are well-tested now and suppressing the warning is OK.
