      [PATCH] Add "commit=0" to reiserfs · c4373a9a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>
      
      Add support for value 0 to the commit option of reiserfs.  Means "restore
      to the default value".  For the maximum commit age, this default value is
      normally read from the journal; this patch adds an extra variable to cache
      the default value for the maximum commit age.

      [PATCH] ppc64: hugepage cleanup · 21c2358c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
      
      This is a small cleanup to the PPC64 hugepage code.  It removes an
      unhelpful function, removing some studlyCaps in the process.  It was
      originally this way to match the normal page path, but that has all been
      rewritten since.

      [PATCH] Fix mq 32-bit compatibility · 8886bdb0
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
      
      The first change removes just a useless put_user (si_int and si_ptr are
      part of the same union, si_ptr is on all arches covering whole union), the
      rest is fixes for signal handling of SI_MESGQ.

      It was debug code, no longer required.

      [PATCH] PCI MSI Kconfig consolidation · d012f668
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
      
      This consolidates the PCI MSI configuration into drivers/pci/Kconfig,
      removing it from the i386, x86_64, and ia64 Kconfig.
      
      It also changes the default for ia64 from "y" to "n".  The default on i386
      is "n" already, and I'm not sure why ia64 should be different.

      [PATCH] kill submit_{bh,bio} return value · 01d86f02
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
      
      Nobody ever checks the return value of submit_bh(), and submit_bh() is the
      only caller that checks the submit_bio() return value.
      
      This changes the kernel I/O submission path -- a fast path -- so this
      cleanup is also a microoptimization.

      [PATCH] kNFSdv4: Implement server-side reboot recovery (mostly) · cba16655
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
      
      From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
      
      From: Andros: Implement server-side reboot recovery (server now handles
      open and lock reclaims).  Not completely to spec: we don't yet store the
      state in stable storage that would be required to recover correctly in
      certain situations.

      [PATCH] kNFSdv4: Set credentials properly when puutrootfh is used · b889edc7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
      
      The credentials (uid/gid) of a process are set when a filehandle is
      verified.  Nfsv4 allows requests without an explicit filehandle (instead,
      an implicit 'root' filehandle) so we much make sure the credentials are set
      for these requests too.
      
      From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
      
      From: Andros: added a call to nfsd_setuser in nfsd4_putrootfh so that nfsd
      runs as the rpc->cred user.

      [PATCH] kNFSdv4: Improve how locking copes with replays · 9e13fc5b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
      
      From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
      
      From: Andros: Hold state_lock longer so the stateowner doesn't diseappear
      out from under us before we get the chance to encode the replay.  Don't
      attempt to save replay if we failed to find a stateowner.

      [PATCH] kNFSdv4: Keep state to allow replays for 'close' to work. · 599692fc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
      
      From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
      
      From: Andros: Idea is to keep around a list of openowners recently released
      by closes, and make sure they stay around long enough so that replays still
      work.

      [PATCH] dm: fix a comment · e79ed99a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@us.ibm.com>
      
      Clarify the comment regarding the "next" field in struct dm_target_spec.  The
      "next" field has different behavior if you're performing a DM_TABLE_STATUS
      command than it does if you're performing a DM_TABLE_LOAD command.
      
      See populate_table() and retrieve_status() in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c for more
      details on how this field is used.

      [PATCH] Fix exec in multithreaded application · bea63af0
      Petr Vandrovec authored
      The recent controlling terminal changes broke exec from multithreaded
      application because de_thread was not upgraded to new arrangement.  I
      know that I should not have LD_PRELOAD library which automatically
      creates one thread, but it looked like a cool solution to the problem I
      had.
      
      de_thread must initialize the controlling terminal information in the
      new thread group.
