      [PATCH] dvb: Update saa7146 capture core · 7b1e171b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Michael Hunold <hunold@linuxtv.org>
      
      fix a bunch of race conditions and locking bugs in video and vbi capture
      code on device closure
      
      use vmalloc_32() instead of vmalloc() in saa7146_vmalloc_build_pgtable().
      this makes sure that the pagetable is in lowmem kernel memory
      
      i2c timeout fix by Gerd Knorr 
      
      SAA7146_I2C_SHORT_DELAY flag to speed up I2C access by Oliver Endriss
      
      move saa7146_set_gpio() from saa7146_vv to saa7146_core, it's needed by DVB
      budget drivers
      
      add "new" saa7146_wait_for_debi_done() function, remove other versions from
      av7110 and budget.ci
      
      make budget-ci use this gpio function and the new wait_...() function,
      
      make saa7146_pgtable_build_single() deliver a return code, make sanity
      checks of the arguments
      
      sanitize enabling of video input pins and i2c pins, use some default
      values, so the hardware is always in a sane state
      
      remove SAA7146_EXT_SWAP_ODD_EVEN flag + handling, fix the hardware
      initialization instead
      
      change minimal picture size to 48x32 just like other drivers
      
      set up arbitrition control for video dma3 correctly
      
      remove unnecessary code for capture to framebuffer memory, it's handled in
      the generic code

      [PATCH] fix non-ia32 `make rpm' · 1e9c0d3b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Zhu, Yi" <yi.zhu@intel.com>
      
      The "make rpm" rule in top Makefile isn't aware of the enviorment ARCH.  For
      example, people issue "make ARCH=ia64" to compile the ia64 kernel on i386
      platform for cross compilation.  This works pretty well now.  But if one uses
      "make rpm ARCH=ia64", it will fail.  Because current rpm rule in Makefile and
      mkspec are not aware of ARCH.

      [netdrvr sis900] add suspend/resume support · 4a493b70
      Daniele Venzano authored
      The attached patch adds support for suspend/resume to the sis900 driver.
      With this patch on resume the NIC is fully configured and operational,
      before a module reload was needed because of the complete lack of
      suspend/resume callbacks.
      
      I added two functions, sis900_suspend and sis900_resume, with their
      pointers in struct pci_driver. A vector of 16 u32 was then needed to the
      to keep PCI data during suspend. I added it in struct sis900_private.
      I updated the revision number to reflect my changes. 
      Looking at the code I also killed three typos.
      
      The patch doesn't touch any other code.
      
      Since I don't know anything on ethernet drivers the rule 'works for me'
      is fully valid.

      [PATCH] name_to_dev_t() fix · fe08f9d5
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk
      
      When we register disks, we mangle the disk names that contain slashes (e.g.
      cciss/c0d0) replacing them with '!' in corresponding sysfs names.  So
      name_to_dev_t() should mangle the name in the same way before looking for it
      in /sys/block.

      [PATCH] Rename legacy_bus to platform_bus · 8299fdeb
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
      
      I've seen this patch floating around.  Not sure the origin, but it's 
      surfaced on lkml and also when I was poking around handhelds.org CVS for
      iPAQ patches:  on non-PCs, particularly system-on-chip devices but not
      just there, you have a custom "platform bus" that is the root of pretty 
      much all other devices and buses.
      
      It's something I wanted to make sure people didn't forget; to make sure 
      the legacy_bus didn't get "legacied out of existence."  ;-)

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
      
      I believe I have identified a failure mode that Linus saw a couple weeks
      back when tracking down some other fork/exit sorts of races.  We saw this
      come up on rare occasions with the RHEL3 kernel's backport of the new code
      (while trying to track down other race failure modes we have yet to fix, sigh).
      
      I am talking about the following scenario:

      What happens here is a race between an exiting thread checking
      mm->core_waiters in __exit_mm, and the thread taking the core-dump signal
      (in coredump_wait) examining the first thread's ->mm pointer and
      incrementing mm->core_waiters to account for it.  There is no
      synchronization at all in __exit_mm's use of mm->core_waiters.  If the
      coredump_wait thread reads tsk->mm when tsk is in __exit_mm between
      checking mm->core_waiters and clearing tsk->mm, then it will increment
      mm->core_waiters and the total count will later exceed the number of
      threads that will ever decrement it and synchronize.  Hence it blocks forever.
      
      The following patch fixes the problem by using mm->mmap_sem in __exit_mm.
      The read lock must be held around checking mm->core_waiters and clearing
      tsk->mm so that coredump_wait (which gets the write lock) cannot come in
      between and do bogus bookkeeping.

      [PATCH] DAC960 request queue per disk · dc942a21
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
      
      Here's a patch that changes the DAC960 driver from having one request
      queue for ALL disks on the controller, to having a request queue for
      each logical disk.  This turns out to make little difference for deadline
      scheduler, nor for AS scheduler under light IO load.  But under AS
      scheduler with heavy IO, it makes about a 40% difference on dbt2
      workload.  Here are the measured numbers:
      
      The 2.6.0-test11-D kernel version includes this mutli-queue patch to the
      DAC960 driver.
      
      For non-cached dbt2 workload  (heavy IO load)
      
      Scheduler	kernel/driver	NOTPM(bigger is better)
      AS		2.6.0-test11-D  1598
      AS		2.6.0-test11     973
      deadline	2.6.0-test11    1640
      deadline	2.6.0-test11-D  1645
      
      For cached dbt2 workload (lighter IO load)
      
      AS		2.6.0-test11-D  4993
      AS		2.6.-test6-mm4  4976, 4890, 4972
      deadline	2.6.0-test11-D  4998
      
      Can this be included in 2.6.0?  I know it's not a "critical patch"
      in the sense that something won't work without it.  On the other hand,
      the change is isolated to a driver.

      A previous "cleanup" on the nbd.h header file broke userspace compiles.

      allows me to compile my nbd tools with the 2.6 nbd.h.
