      [PATCH] swap 1/3 swapon leak · 59e469ce
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Burton Windle <bwindle@fint.org> reported Kernel memory leak with
      swapon/swapoff? LKML 31 May.  swapon uses rw_swap_page_nolock to read
      swap_header page (peculiar! should probably rework that sometime),
      nothing freed the buffers from the page, thus page also never freed.

      [PATCH] tmpfs 5/5 SMP-safe · 0e9699d3
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Remove /* SMP-safe */ comments before shmem_truncate and shmem_mknod:
      don't know who or why put there, but they seem to imply that the rest
      of shmem.c is unsafe.

      [PATCH] tmpfs 4/5 swapoff tweaks · 13e79df9
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Several simple speedups to tmpfs swapoff: without patch, swapoff of a
      kernel tree in tmpfs might take take 2 minutes, with patch 4 seconds.
      Inline search go no further than necessary; only search inode when it
      has swapped pages; start next search from same inode; list in order.
      
      (There's a "list_move_tail" in this patch: not available in 2.5.21,
      but I believe you now have it in your ongoing tree.)

      [PATCH] tmpfs 3/5 mknod times · acd1293e
      Hugh Dickins authored
      shmem_mknod should not update directory times if it cannot get an inode.

      [PATCH] tmpfs 2/5 long symlinks · 467a0077
      Hugh Dickins authored
      shmem_symlink was letting a long symlink overwrite its vfs_inode, now
      included within struct shmem_inode_info - oops! and failed long symlink
      inodes were freed but still left on the shmem_inodes list, causing oops
      in swapoff at shutdown (if not earlier).

      [PATCH] tmpfs 1/5 rename nlink · 004b361e
      Hugh Dickins authored
      shmem_rename was not maintaining the correct link count on the
      parent directories when a directory was moved from one to another.
      This patch from Christoph Rohland <cr@sap.com>, already in 2.5-dj.

      [PATCH] 2.5.21 IDE 88 · eccec1ce
      Martin Dalecki authored
       - Bunch of cleanups by Bartlomiej (accounts for over a half of the patch):
      
          cmd64x.c:
      	- kill SPLIT_BYTE() macro
      	- kill wrappers for cmd64x_config_drive_for_dma()
      	- misc cleanups
      
          cy82c693.c:
      	- kill obsolete comments
      	- clean cy82c693_tune_drive() and calc_clk()
      	- misc cleanups
      
          hpt34x.c:
      	- kill obsolete comment
      	- kill SPLIT_BYTE()
      	- kill hpt34x_clear_chipset()
      	- simplify hpt34x_tune_drive()
      
          hpt366.c:
      	- kill hpt_min_rev()
      	- kill redundant hpt368_tune_chipset() and hpt374_tune_chipset()
      	- fix badlists checking in config_chipset_for_dma()
      	- misc cleanups
      
          pdc202xx.c:
      	- clean registers decoding
      	- clean pdc202xx_tune_chipset()
      	- kill pdc202xx_udma_irq_status(), use generic udma_pci_irq_status()
      	- rationalize pdc202xx_reset()
      	- kill UDMA_SPEED_FLAG() and PDC_CLOCK() macros,
      	  do it right by defining constants PDC_UDMA and PDC_CLK
      	- kill init_high_16() inline, no need to hide internals
      	- clean pdc202xx_init_chipset()
      	- split ata66_pdc202xx() and pdc202xx_init_chipset()
      	- clean config_chipset_for_dma()
      	- misc cleanups
      
       - Fix plug in of CF cards. The previously used sub device driver attach method
         lookup was entirely hosed.
      
       - Enforce indentation style on ide-cs.c. Enable debugging there. (Makes the
         patch quite big...)

      [PATCH] 2.5.20 x86 iobitmap cleanup · ded80dca
      Benjamin LaHaise authored
      This makes the IO bitmap allocations a separately allocated structure,
      shrinking the default task size.
      
      We alloc it in sys_ioperm() and copy_thread() and frees in
      exit_thread().  It also gets rid of the IO_BITMAP_SIZE+1 crap, as only
      the tss actually needs the tail long, and we weren't copying it into the
      bitmap anyways.

      [PATCH] utimes permission check · da615ea7
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      The utime and utimes should do exactly the smae permission check
      according to SUSv3.
      	"The effective user ID of the process shall match the owner of the file,
      or has write access to the file or appropriate privileges to use this call
      in this manner."
      
      utimes when passed a NULL second argument would fail on a read only
      file even if the file is owned by the caller.

      [PATCH] generic tag update · f39fc866
      Jens Axboe authored
      The following comes from James Bottemley, as he updated the SCSI layer
      to use the generic tagging.
      
      Basically just put blk_queue_tag_request() into ll_rw_blk.c and name it
      something more sane, blk_queue_find_tag(). In addition, remove REQ_CMD
      requirement in blk_queue_start_tag() -- this is actually IDE specific
      (we can only tag read/write requests there...), SCSI actually requires
      everything to be tagged once enabled. It's replaced with a safety check
      for an already tagged request.

      [PATCH] final plug stuff · 3f1fe673
      Jens Axboe authored
      This is a merge of the two things that are needed for the plugging as it
      stands in 2.5.21. The first is fixing the locking to be both clearer and
      safe (Andrew repeatedly broke the old version). The second is a few
      changes that allow make_request_fn drivers to utilize plugging. This is
      needed for umem and raid, for instance, that have their private
      plugging.
