- Don't provide symbolic links in /proc/ide - they are redundant data.

- Try to use a more reasonable default capacity value in ata_capacity().

- Fix ata_put() ata_get() usage in ide_check_media_change().

- Small readability fixes to the option parsing code.

- Apply Vojtech Pavliks /proc PIIX output fix.

- Replace all occurrences of ide_wait_taskfile() with ide_raw_taskfile().  One
   duplicated code path fewer.

Included is the latest version of the code. Indenting it properly
actually reduced the size of the files by another 10K or so.

Removes an atavism in declaration of sys_nfsservctl() - sorry, I should've
remove that junk when cond_syscall() thing was done.

 This patch fixes small typo in ikernel informational message.

 This patch fixes a problem that was created during inode structure
 cleanup/ private parts separation. This fix was made by Chris Mason.
 This is very critical bugfix. Without it, filesystem corruption
 happens on savelinks processing and possibly in some other cases.

This patch removes one tail_conversion object out of build list,
because it was specified twice. (noticed by Jeff Garzik)

This patch removes confusing warning about journal replay on readonly FS

This patch is to change comment of CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO config item,
to make it more clear.

This patch renames reiserfs debugging option in config output,
to make its meaning more clear.

This patch is to fix journal replay bug where old code would replay
transactions with mount_id != mount_id recorded in journal header.
Fixed by Chris Mason.

This patch solves a problem where separate journal device was not freed
if journal initialisation failed

This patch is to add forgotten metadata journaling for a case when
we free blocks after tail conversion failures. Found and fixed by Chris Mason

This patch is to fix a case where flag was not set at inode-read time which
prevented 32bit uid/gid to work correctly.

This patch is to convert pap14030 panic into warning. While doing this,
a bug was uncovered, that when get_block() returns a failure, buffer
is still marked as mapped, and on subsequent access to this buffer
get_block() was not called anymore. This is also fixed.

This patch is to fix a lookup problem on bigendian platforms

This patch is to fix a problem when directory's atime was not updated on
readdir(). Patch is written by Chris Mason.

- Integrate the TCQ stuff from Jens Axboe. Deal with the conflicts, apply some
   cosmetic changes. We are still not at a stage where we could immediately
   integrate ata_request and ata_taskfile but we are no longer far away.

- Clean up the data transfer function in ide-disk to use ata_request structures
   directly.

- Kill useless leading version information in ide-disk.c

- Replace the ATA_AR_INIT macro with inline ata_ar_init() function.

- Replace IDE_CLEAR_TAG with ata_clear_tag().

- Replace IDE_SET_TAG with ata_set_tag().

- Kill georgeous ide_dmafunc_verbose().

- Fix typo in ide_enable_queued() (ide-tcq.c!)

Apparently there still problems with a TCQ enabled device and a not enabled
device on the same channel, but let's first synchronize up with Jens.

- Eliminate ide_task_t and rename struct ide_task_s to struct ata_taskfile.
   This should become the entity which is holding all data for a request in the
   future. If this turns out to be the case, we will just rename it to
   ata_request.

- Reduce the number of arguments for the ata_taskfile() function. This helps to
   wipe quite a lot of code out as well.

This stage is not sensitive, so let's make a patch before we start to integrate
the last work of Jens Axboe.

and scheduling-in-interrupt problems we had, and also makes it
much faster when handling large numbers (100s or more) of PPP units.

and cacheflush.h in a few places where they are needed.

flushing code a little.

Patch to cciss driver in 2.4.8-pre2 to use pdev->irq
and other pci_dev structure elements only after calling
pci_enable_device.

Morten Helgesen <admin@nextframe.net> sent me this.

The latest ACPI merge accidentally clobbered another change in pci-irq.c.
Here's the original patch again (applies fine except for an offset)
Thanks -- Andy

More places where we want the size of block device and have relevant
struct block_device * available,

Fixes races in jffs2_get_sb() - current code has a window when two
mounts of the same mtd device can miss each other, resulting in two
active instances of jffs2 fighting over the same device.

Assorted compile fixes in mtdblock.c

All places where we do blkdev_size_in_bytes(sb->s_dev) are bogus - we
can get the same information from ->s_bdev without messing with kdev_t,
major/minor, etc.

There will be more patches of that kind - in the long run I'd expect
only one caller of blkdev_size_in_bytes() to survive.  One if
fs/block_dev.c, that is - called when we open device.

Pretty simple.

- use a timer to kick off a pdflush thread every five seconds
  to run the kupdate code.

- wakeup_bdflush() kicks off a pdflush thread to run the current
  bdflush function.

There's some loss of functionality here - the ability to tune
the writeback periods.  The numbers are hardwired at present.
But the intent is that buffer-based writeback disappears
altogether.  New mechanisms for tuning the writeback will
need to be introduced.
