Patch from Stephen Cameron <steve.cameron@hp.com> Add new big passthrough ioctl to allow large buffers. Used by e.g. online array controller firmware flash utility.

Patch from Stephen Cameron <steve.cameron@hp.com> Add CCISS_GETLUNINFO ioctl. This ioctl returns the LUNID, number of partitions, and current number of opens on a logical volume. Used by the array config utility or any app that needs to send passthrough commands to a particular logical disk.

Patch from Stephen Cameron <steve.cameron@hp.com> * add cmd_type to sendcmd parameters to allow scsi messages to be sent down. * factor out duplicated code into fill_cmd function.

Patch from Stephen Cameron <steve.cameron@hp.com> Make cciss driver retry 3rd party bus reset aborted commands up to 3 times. (ported to 2.5 by me, original patch by Charles White) This is needed for a multi port storage box that can have multiple hosts connected to it, or be used in a multipath configuration. In certain configurations SCSI bus resets initiated by one host may affect another host.

Patch from Stephen Cameron <steve.cameron@hp.com> * Make cciss driver wait longer for board to enter simple mode to handle an unlikely corner case. (Hot replace of failed 144GB drive in RAID 5 set at just the wrong time prior to driver loading can make the board take a longer than usual time to go into "simple mode". Without the patch, the driver gives up too early, and consequently doesn't work. (A reboot will generally "fix" it.) This patch avoids the problem. * Fix a couple ioctls to return EAGAIN instead of inappropriate EFAULT.

Patch from Rohit Seth ia64 reserves virtual address region 4 (any address which starts with 0x4) for huge pages. Apparently, for hardware reasons, we do not wish to allow mappings with other page sizes to appear in that region. This patch prevents the user from being able to place regular MAP_FIXED mappings into region 4 on ia64. It is a no-op for ia32.

Forward port of a change which Ted made to 2.4's ext2. HTREE backwards compatibility patch. "I thought (and assumed) this patch had been applied to both the ext2 and ext3 filesystems in the 2.4 kernel. It turns out it had only made it into the ext3 filesystem code. This means that if an HTREE-enabled filesystem is mounted using ext2, it will corrupt the filesystem as far as e2fsck and an ext3 htree-enabled kernel is concerned. (The corruption won't cause any data loss, but it will cause e2fsck and an ext3-htree kernel to omit a lot of warning messages.)"

Patch from Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Consolidate alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_node(). There is no change in sizeof(vmlinux).

Patch from: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> The kernel will currently panic if it was built with CONFIG_X86_TSC and someone boots it with `notsc'. Change it to just print a warning.

Patch from Thomas Schlichter <schlicht@uni-mannheim.de> Based on a patch from Dave Jones. It converts a large number of instances of: smp_call_function(foo); foo(); into on_each_cpu(foo); and in doing so fixes up the preempt-unsafeness of the first version.

Patch from Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> It's supposed to return an ERR_PTR value on error, not NULL.

The loop driver takes a copy of the data which it is writing. When this happens on the try_to_free_pages() path, loop can easily consume ALL memory and bio_copy() will fail to allocate a page. Loop forgets to check the bio_copy() return value and oopses. Fix this by dropping PF_MEMALLOC and throttling to the block writeout speed. The patch exports blk_congestion_wait() to modules for this. This is a needed export: several filesystems have a "try to allocate and yield if it failed" loop and blk_congestion_wait() is a more appropriate way of implementing the sleep in this situation.

Patch from Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au> Closes a window in which we can get an invalid (already dispatched) request in the next_drq cache. This fixed an oops which was reported by Janet Morgan.

Patch from Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> e100 is performing a header checksum calculation which is a) duplication of the core kernel's calculation of the same and b) incorrect on big-endian machines. This fix has been tested on ia32 and pppc64 and acked by davem, jgarzik and Scott Feldman

Fix socket memory mapping bug - we need to take account of the requested card offset when returning the address for ioremap.

Request PCMCIA socket resources without marking them busy - this allows future modifications to pcmcia to allow it to claim the CIS resources for statically mapped sockets.
-
Russell King authored
Sanitise our pcmcia interrupt handling. Make sure we only use set_irq_type after the interrupt has been registered. Register the socket handling interrupts using the function name rather than some pointer passed by the generic code. Let the generic sa11x0 code handle the cards interrupt masking.
-
Russell King authored
Remove get_irq_info method, passing the information via the init method instead. The IRQ allocated to a socket never changes on these platforms, so the extra code was just bloat.
-
Russell King authored
Convert all SA11x0 drivers to register with the Linux driver model, so they work with the pcmcia layer in 2.5.63.
-
Russell King authored
Make low level socket_status() method take the socket index as an argument in the same way that our other methods do. socket_status() now only returns the status of the requested socket, not all sockets.
-
Russell King authored
Make low-level configure_socket() method take the socket number as a parameter rather than embedded in a structure.
-
Russell King authored
Make SA11x0 generic pcmcia implementation fit better with Dominik's work - pass around our socket structure rather than the socket number itself. Reference socket operations using the socket structure rather than a static variable.

You wouldn't expect that an innocent two-line patch would practically destroy the entire functionality of the USB subsystem. But that's what my last patch did. I didn't realize until I saw it in Greg's list of patches forwarded to Linus; that patch includes a mistakenly unreverted prior change. This explains the problems I was having yesterday, and probably also the problems a great many people are having today. Anyway, here's the correction -- it puts things back to what they should have been in the first place. Greg, please apply this and send it to Linus for his tree as soon as reasonably possible.

This is a temporary patch which should get cardbus working again. In order to use pci_remove_behind_bridge(), we need to separately allocate the pci_dev structures.

1) Define comma so dependency files does not include a '_' in the filename 2) Use correct path for mkspec and mkversion 3) Removed checkhelp - corresponding perl script is no longer present 4) Spelling correction (reported on lkml)

For some people (though not me), the '+' indicating that a command will invoke a sub-make didn't propagated properly, and caused a warning. Putting the command all into one line should fix that. Plus some cosmetics and clean up the per_cpu check.

Alas no rave reviews on lkml, but the private feedback I have received so far on the recent changes has been excellent. The Rhine-II is now finally usable with via-rhine. Time to call it 1.17.

This trivial patch fixes an obvious typo. Please apply. Bad semicolon in previous patch ([1/2]). Thanks to Erik@harddisk-recovery.nl for spotting this.
