      [PATCH] fix ips driver compile problems · a5297c70
      Dave Hansen authored
         This patch has been floating inside IBM for a bit, but it appears
      that no one passed it back up to you, yet.  I don't know who wrote it,
      but it applies to 2.5.8 and the ServeRAID driver works just fine with it
      applied.  Without it, the driver fails to compile.

      [PATCH] prctl() patch · feef9b8a
      David Mosberger authored
      This is the patch to add support for PR_SET_FPEMU/PR_GET_FPEMU to give
      per-process control over fp-emulation handling.  It also cleans up the
      way PR_SET_UNALIGN_CTL/PR_GET_UNALIGN_CTL are implemented.

      [PATCH] swapinfo accounting · c6df0ff4
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Randy observed that 2.5 /proc/meminfo SwapFree holds steady
      while SwapTotal goes up and down: wrong way round!
      
      Andrew pointed to wrong conditional in si_swapinfo(): 2.5.4
      updated it incorrectly when new flags bit was briefly added.
      And pointed out that it also makes si_swapinfo much too slow.

      Finally, this changes set_bit et al. to take a "unsigned long *" on

      [PATCH] 2.5.8 IDE 37 · 0c0a9d38
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Don't abuse the sense field for passing failed packet_commands in struct
         packet_command use a new field instead.
      
      - Apply minor bits forwarded by Dave Jones to me.
      
      - Fix ide_raw_taskfile() to flag the ar used there to be no subject of free_req
         list management. This solvs the "hang after /proc/ide read" problem, which
         was in fact a memory corruption problem.

      [PATCH] 2.5.8 IDE 36 · 87689e36
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Consolidate ide_choose_drive() and choose_drive() in to one function.
      
      - Remove sector data byteswpapping support. Byte-swapping the data is supported
         on the file-system level where applicable.  Byte-swapped interfaces are
         supported on a lower level anyway. And finally it was used inconsistently.
      
      - Eliminate taskfile_input_data() and taskfile_output_data(). This allowed us
         to split up ideproc and eliminate the ugly action switch as well as the
         corresponding defines.
      
      - Remove tons of unnecessary typedefs from ide.h
      
      - Prepate the PIO read write code for soon overhaul.
      
      - Misc small bits here and there :-).

      Handle $(export-objs) ambiguity · e13a5e16
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      We use the makefile variable $(foo-objs) to list the objects
      a composed module foo.o is supposed to be composed of.
      
      We use the special varible $(export-objs) to list the object files which
      export symbols.
      
      This oviously clashes in the case of foo == export. There's basically
      two ways to handle it: (1) rename one of these options, like 
      foo-objs to foo-parts or something, or (2) simply disallow a composite
      object called export.o, so you never need $(export-objs) to list its
      parts.
      
      As (1) would affect basically all Makefiles in the tree and (2) doesn't
      seem much of a limitation, I went for (2).

      This removes gratuitous & operators in front of USB's
      dev->bus->devmap.devicemap and state->unitbitmap, for bitops.
      
      This just makes it so it doesn't warn when set_bit et. al take a
      long...
      
      No object code changes,

      [PATCH] PATCH - Create "export_operations" interface for filesystems to describe · dcd21270
      Neil Brown authored
      Create "export_operations" interface for filesystems to describe
      whether and how they should be exported.
      
      - add new field in struct super_block "s_export_op" to describe
        how a filesystem is exported (i.e. how filehandles are mapped to
        dentries).
      - New module: fs/exportfs for holding helper code for mapping between
        filehandles and dentries
      - Change nfsd to use new interface if it exists.
      - Change ext2 to provide new interface
      - Add documention to filesystems/Exporting
      
      If s_export_op isn't set, old mechanism still works, but it is
      planned to remove old method and only use s_export_op.

      [PATCH] dcache changes for preparing for "export_operations" interface for nfsd to use. · 0de4fa30
      Neil Brown authored
      Prepare for new export_operations interface (for filehandle lookup):
      
       - define d_splice_alias and d_alloc_anon.
       - define shrink_dcache_anon for removing anonymous dentries
       - modify d_move to work with anonymous dentries (IS_ROOT dentries)
       - modify d_find_alias to avoid anonymous dentries where possible
         as d_splice_alias and d_alloc_anon use this
       - put in place infrastructure for s_anon allocation and cleaning
       - replace a piece of code that is in nfsfh, reiserfs and fat
         with a call to d_alloc_anon
       - Rename DCACHE_NFSD_DISCONNECTED to DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
       - Add documentation at Documentation/filesystems/Exporting

      rtl8150:
      	- better tasklet handling and a few races fixed;
      	- introducing new flag for Rx urb resubmission;
      	- GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC flag change in Tx path.

      [PATCH] migration_thread preempt fix · e1efc1f3
      Robert Love authored
      This fixes a race in migration_thread which results in a deadlock on
      boot for some SMP systems.  The fix is to to disable preemption inside
      of set_cpus_allowed.
      
      Andrew Morton first noticed the problem and provided the following patch
      a few weeks back.  I was not affected until the recent migration_init
      fix, for some odd reason.  Neither Andrew nor I think this is actually
      kernel preemption's fault but perhaps a race in the tricky behavior of
      the migration code.
