      [PATCH] (18/25) pcd.c - cleanup, killed used of cdi->dev · 25b9b8f4
      Alexander Viro authored
      	 pcd.c cleaned up, uses of cdi->dev eliminated, abuse of macros killed
      (it used to have
      #define PCD pcd[unit]
      #define PI PCD.pi
      and expected 'unit' to be local variable in each function that used these
      (== almost every function in there)).

      [PATCH] (16/25) pcd.c - beginning of macroectomy · 9aab49e3
      Alexander Viro authored
      	 pcd.c - killed RR and WR macros (replaced with inlines without hidden
      arguments; the first step in cleanup, they were monstrous).

      Alexander Viro authored
      	sbpcd.c - d eliminated, ditto for uses of cdi->dev (we set cdi->handle
      pointing to structure we neeed).  Cleaned up a bit.

      Alexander Viro authored
      	sbpcd.c - sigh... It used to have a global variable inventively called
      'd'.  Current disk number.  Tons of uses, 99% of them being D_S[d].<blah>.
      Added a new variable - current_drive.  Said animal is equal to D_S + d -
      it's reassigned at the same place as d.

      [PATCH] (12/25) sr.c passes pointers instead of minors now · 6f14c533
      Alexander Viro authored
      	 killed passing minors around; we always pass a pointer to structure;
      scsi_CDs made static.  That killed uses of cdi->dev in sr.c and friends.

      	Global search'n'replace job - 'SCp' (Scsi_CD pointer - I'm not kidding;
      and yes, they spell it "Scsi") replaced with 'cd' (sr.c, sr_ioctl.c,
      sr_vendor.c).

      [PATCH] (10/25) sr.c device name handling · e342ff2e
      Alexander Viro authored
      	sr.c: we set SCp->cdi.name from the very beginning, which allows
      to kill passing minors in many cases (we can use "%s...", SCp->cd.name instead
      of "sr%d...", minor and that turns out to be the majority of places where
      we use minors at all).

      [PATCH] (9/25) update_partition() · 897c924e
      Alexander Viro authored
      	new helper - update_partition(disk, partition_number); does the
      right thing wrt devfs and driverfs (un)registration of partition entries.
      BLKPG ioctls fixed - now they call that beast rather than calling only
      devfs side.  New helper - rescan_partitions(disk, bdev); does all work
      with wiping/rereading/etc. and fs/block_dev.c now uses it instead of
      check_partition().  The latter became static.

      [PATCH] (8/25) Removing bogus arrays - ->de_arr[] · 06f55b09

      with its (single) element + flag.

      [PATCH] (7/25) Removing bogus arrays - ->part[].number · db09b5fc
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Each hd_struct used to have int number; in it.  It's used _only_
      in disk->part[0] - disk->part[n].number is never assigned/checked for any
      positive n.  Moved from hd_struct to gendisk (disk->part[0].number to
      disk->number).

      [PATCH] (6/25) Removing bogus arrays - ->driverfs_dev_arr[] · c5f45a70
      Alexander Viro authored
      	disk->driverfs_dev_arr is either NULL or consists of exactly one
      element.  Same change as above (struct device ** -> struct device *); old
      "is the pointer to array itself NULL or not?" replaced with a flag (in
      disk->flags).

      [PATCH] (5/25) Removing bogus arrays - ->flags[] · ab3bfaa2
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Seeing that now disk->flags[] always consists of one element, we
      replace char *flags with int flags, remove the junk from places that used
      to allocate these "arrays" and do obvious updates of the code
      (s/->flags[0]/->flags/).

      [PATCH] (4/25) Unexporting driverfs_remove_partitions() · 097b3217

      	call of driverfs_remove_partitions() pulled into del_gendisk();
      function isn't exported anymore.  Both it and driverfs_create_partitions()
      cleaned up.

      [PATCH] (3/25) Removing useless minor arguments · 36bd834b
      Alexander Viro authored
      	driverfs_remove_partitions(), devfs_register_partitions(),
      driverfs_create_partitions(), devfs_register_partition(), devfs_register_disc(),
      had lost 'minor' argument - it's always disk->first_minor these days.
      disk_name() takes partition number instead of minor now.  Callers of
      wipe_partitions() in fs/block_dev.c expanded.  Remaining caller passes
      gendisk instead of kdev_t now.

      [PATCH] (2/25) Removing ->nr_real · 4e493886
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Since ->nr_real is always 1 now, we can remove that field completely.
      Removed the last remnants of switch in disk_name() (it could be killed
      a long time ago, I just forgot to remove the last two cases when md and i2o
      got converted).  Collapsed several instances of
      disk->part[minor - disk->first_minor] - in cases when we know that we deal
      with disk->part[0].

      Alexander Viro authored
      	wipe_partitions() and driverfs_register_partitions(..., 1) (i.e.
      unregistering them) pulled into del_gendisk() and removed from callers.
      grok_partitions() merged with register_disk().  devfs_register_partitions(),
      grok_partitions() and wipe_partitions() not exported anymore.

      [PATCH] PATCH - kNFSd - More small fixes for TCP nfsd · 03d7a386
      Neil Brown authored
      sk_inuse should be bigger than "char" as we can
      have more than 255 server threads.  Due to the way the count
      is used, this is unlikely to actually cause a problem, but it
      should nonetheless be fixed.
      
      Also, two printk generate more noise than we would like,
      so turn them into dprintk (debugging printk).

      [PATCH] sock_writeable not appropriate for TCP sockets, for 2.5.32 · d2279c44
      Chuck Lever authored
      sock_writeable determines whether there is space in a socket's output
      buffer.  socket write_space callbacks use it to determine whether to wake
      up those that are waiting for more output buffer space.
      
      however, sock_writeable is not appropriate for TCP sockets.  because the
      RPC layer's write_space callback uses it for TCP sockets, the RPC layer
      hammers on sock_sendmsg with dozens of write requests that are only a few
      hundred bytes long when it is trying to send a large write RPC request.
      this patch adds logic to the RPC layer's write_space callback that
      properly handles TCP sockets.
      
      patch reviewed by Trond and Alexey.

      [PATCH] prevent oops in xprt_lock_write, against 2.5.32 · 1758bdf3
      Chuck Lever authored
      when several RPC requests want to reconnect a TCP transport socket at
      once, xprt_lock_write serializes the tasks to prevent multiple socket
      connects.  however, TCP connects are always done by a RPC child task that
      has no request slot.  xprt_lock_write can oops if there is no request slot
      allocated to the invoking RPC task.  reviewed and accepted by Trond.
      
      the xprt_lock_write changes are not yet in 2.4, so this patch does not
      apply to 2.4.

      [PATCH] scheduler fixes, 2.5.32-BK · 2c638ab0
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This adds two scheduler related fixes:
      
       - changes the migration code to use struct completion. Andrew pointed out
         that there might be a small window in where the up() touches the
         semaphore while the waiting task goes on and frees its stack. And
         completion is more suited for this kind of stuff anyway.
      
       - removes two unneeded exports, pointed out by Andrew.

      [PATCH] clone-cleanup 2.5.32-BK · 1f9d6582
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This moves CLONE_SETTID and CLONE_CLEARTID handling into kernel/fork.c,
      where it belongs.  [the CLONE_SETTLS is x86-specific and thus remains in
      the per-arch process.c] This makes support for these two new flags much
      easier: architectures only have to pass in the user_tid pointer.
