      [PATCH] USB ipaq driver update · 5a8e410f
      Ganesh Varadarajan authored
      The ActiveSync USB "protocol" seems to be the same for all WinCE
      devices seen so far. So it seems reasonable to pre-emptively support
      all devices which work with ActiveSync.

      [PATCH] Avoid overwriting boot_cpu_data from trampoline code · dd0f2bdf
      Manfred Spraul authored
      boot_cpu_data should contain the common capabilities of all cpus in the
      system. identify_cpu [arch/i386/kernel/cpu/common.c] tries to enforce
      that. But right now, the SMP trampoline code [arch/i386/kernel/head.S]
      overwrites boot_cpu_data when the secondary cpus are started, i.e.
      boot_cpu_data contains the capabilities from the last cpu that booted :-(
      
      The attached patch adds a new, __initdata variable for the asm code.

      [PATCH] Fix pageattr with mem=nopentium · 4d59f610
      Andi Kleen authored
      This fixes a hang in change_page_attr() that occured with mem=nopentium.
      
      Make sure a non large page kernel mapping is handled correctly.
      Previously the page reference counter was handled incorrectly in this
      case.
      
      Also hardens change_page_attr against bogus addresses.  You get an
      EINVAL now.

      [PATCH] Make mem=nopentium clear cpu_has_pse · 0b9e43dc
      Andi Kleen authored
      "mem=nopentium" would clear the PSE bit in boot_cpu_data, but the CPU
      detection later would overwrite it again from CPUID.
      
      The large pages would be correctly disabled, but cpu_has_pse was lying.
      
      This patch makes sure it stays clear when the option is given.
      
      I also took the liberty to remove these obnoxious cpu capability
      printks who give no use information (the data can be either gotten
      from CPUID in user space in raw form or from /proc/cpuinfo processed)

      [PATCH] reorder 'rep;nop;' in the spinlock macro · 5e163a89
      Manfred Spraul authored
      According to Intel's recommendation, 'rep;nop; should be called before
      testing if the lock variable was modified (i.e. rep nop;cmp;jcc). The
      current implementation does it the wrong way around: first test, then
      wait, then branch. I've asked Asit Mallik from Intel, and he recommended
      to change it.
      
      It should be at least consistent: Right now, spinlock uses
      'cmp;rep nop;jcc', rwlock uses 'rep nop;cmp;jcc'

      [PATCH] scanner.c: Support for devices with only one bulk-in endpoint · 6f815233
      Henning Meier-Geinitz authored
      This patch (originally from Sergey Vlasov) adds support for scanners
      with only one bulk-in endpoint. It's needed by all the GT-6801 based
      scanners like the Artec Ultima 2000 or some of the Mustek BearPaws.

      This patch adds additional vendor and product ids for Nikon, Mustek,

      and Minolta scanners. The entries for Benq, Genius and Plustek
      scanners have been updated.
      
      I've also increased the version number to 0.4.9 and brought the
      version numbers in scanner.c and scanner.h in sync.

      [PATCH] ehci, qtd submit and completions · a37d3ccc
      David Brownell authored
       > ... usb-storage gets unhappy when
       > it decides (why?  and unsuccessfully) to reset high speed
       > devices.  ...
      
      I don't know if that problem is resolved, but this patch
      makes the question moot by handling an earlier error correctly.
      
      The patch updates an incorrect test, so a short read will now
      be treated as one.  Please merge.
      
      This lets storage behave again.  As in, "mkfs -c" then copy
      about 8 GB around, then 'dbench'.

      [PATCH] hugetlb bugfixes · f19dc938
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Rohit Seth
      
      1) Bug fixes (mainly in the unsuccessful attempts of hugepages).
      
         i) not modifying the value of key for unsuccessful key
            allocation
      
         ii) Correct usage of mmap_sem in free_hugepages
      
         iii) Proper unlocking of key->lock for partial hugepage
              allocations
      
      
      2) Include the IPC_LOCK for permission to use hugepages via the
         syscall interface.  This brings the syscall interface into line with
         the hugetlbfs interface.
      
         It also adds permits users who are in the superuser group to
         access hugetlb resources.  This is so that database servers can run
         without elevated permissions.
      
      3) Increment the key_counts during forks to correctly identify the
         number of processes references a key.

      [PATCH] ext3: fix buffer dirtying · 0c74aabb
      Andrew Morton authored
      This is a forward-port from 2.4.  One of Stephen's recent fixes.  I
      managed to merge up only half of it.  Here is the rest.  It should fix
      the asserton failure reported by Robert Macaulay
      <robert_macaulay@dell.com>
      
      "There was a race window in buffer refiling where we could temporarily
       expose the journal's internal BH_JBDDirect flag as BH_Dirty, which is
       visible to the rest of the VFS.  That doesn't affect the journaling,
       because we hold journal_head locks while the buffer is in this
       transient state, but bdflush can see the buffer and write it out
       unexpectedly, causing ext3 to find the buffer in an unexpected state
       later."
      
       The fix simply keeps the dirty bits clear during the internal buffer
       processing, restoring the state to the private BH_JBDDirect once
       refiling is complete."

      [PATCH] ext3 use-after-free bugfix · dd2f1160
      Andrew Morton authored
      If ext3_add_nondir() fails it will do an iput() of the inode.  But we
      continue to run ext3_mark_inode_dirty() against the potentially-freed
      inode.  This oopses when slab poisoning is enabled.
      
      Fix it so that we only run ext3_mark_inode_dirty() if the inode was
      successfully instantiated.
