      [PATCH] devices.txt: typos and removal of dead devices · a74e11ff
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Cagle, John (ISS-Houston)" <john.cagle@hp.com>
      
      Patch 2 fixes some typos in devices.txt and removes ancient devices never
      used.  Pretty obvious stuff.

      [PATCH] clean up devices.txt · 60d9125b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Cagle, John (ISS-Houston)" <john.cagle@hp.com>
      
      Patch 1 cleans up the format by making devices.txt easily parsable.
      Mainly this involved adding the word "block" after all the block major
      numbers since the previous format didn't include it.

      [PATCH] make config_max_raw_devices work · 7bfcc033
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Kenneth Chen" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
      
      Even though there is a CONFIG_MAX_RAW_DEVS option, it doesn't actually
      increase the number of raw devices beyond 256 because during the char
      registration, it uses the standard register_chrdev() interface which has
      hard coded 256 minor in it.  Here is a patch that fix this problem by using
      register_chrdev_region() and cdev_(init/add/del) functions.

      [PATCH] x86 vsyscall alignment fix · a50d447d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andy Whitcroft <andyw@uk.ibm.com>
      
      The vsyscall implementation for ia32 provides two different vsyscall pages;
      one to use int80 and the other to use sysenter.  Each includes a common
      signal trailer.  The kernel requires the alignment of routines in this
      trailer be consistent in both copies.  However this is not enforced at
      compile time.  Failure to maintain this alignment typically leads to an
      obscure SIGSEGV in init during boot.  This critical alignment requirement
      is not well documented.
      
      Below is a patch to better document the alignment requirements and to
      enforce the requirement.

      When I converted the use of PCI_DMA_foo constants to DMA_foo constants, I

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      include/asm-ppc/dma-mapping.h was made to be a 'real' header recently and
      therefore missed out on the updates that davem did to all of the other
      versions.  This updates <asm-ppc/dma-mapping.h> to match what's expected
      now.

      [PATCH] ppc32: Fix PCI DMA API changes · ddcc6311
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      When Dave Miller updated <asm-ppc/pci.h> for the _for_device and _for_cpu
      portions of the PCI DMA API, he assumed that on PPC32 consistent_sync*
      would also need to be changed for device or cpu.  This is not the case, so
      what this does is the pci_*_for_{cpu,device} calls call
      consistent_sync{,page} again.

      [PATCH] ide-scsi.c: fix ATAPI multi-lun support · 54cdbb65
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      ATAPI multi-lun support has been broken for a long time.
      
      It used to be that "(drive->id->last_id & 0x7) + 1" was used as
      shost->max_lun and the "hdXlun=" kernel parameter could be used to
      override this value.
      
      However it was far from optimal:
      - people played with "hdXlun=" and then complained about multiple instances
        of the same device (most ATAPI drives respond to each LUN)
      - probably some devices return 7 not 0 in id->last_id (=> 7 x same device)
      
      This patch from Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org> fixes it w/o need
      for "hdXlun=" option.  It was tested by Willem on ATAPI PD/CD drive.

      [PATCH] wait_task_inactive should not return on preempt · 3da04c35
      Rusty Russell authored
      wait_task_inactive is now only used in two non-time-critical places: the
      ptrace code to guarantee a schedule and kthread_bind so we can change
      the thread CPU.  Unfortunately with preempt, the code as stands has a
      race: we might return because the thread is preempted, not because it
      actually reached schedule().  The ptrace code (probably) doesn't care,
      but the kthread code does.
      
      This patch simplifies the (now over-optimized) code, and does a yield()
      for the preemption case.

      [netdrvr natsemi] Fix RX DMA mapping · a77fc913
      Jeff Garzik authored
      RX skbs are always considered maximally sized, until actual reception
      of the RX frame occurs.  So, update this driver to always map and
      unmap a maximally sized skb.  This fixes this driver on several
      non-x86 platforms.
