      [IPV4]: barriers in lockfree rtcache. · 54f13d39
      Dipankar Sarma authored
      1. All the memory barriers are SMP-only avoiding unnecessary overhead on UP.
      2, My forward porting merge of the rt_rcu patch dropped two changes in
         rt_intern_hash() in around 2.5.43 that ordered the writes while
         inserting a dst entry at the start of a hash chain. The dst entry updates
         must be visible to other (weakly ordered) CPUs before it is inserted.
         The necessary smp_wmb()s are added.
      3. Comments to go with the write ordering.

      [PATCH] cli_sti in drivers_net_irda_sa1100_ir.c · 3ef4c758
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
        patch for sa1100_ir.c.
      
        The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
        longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes the last
        references to cli() and {save,restore}_flags, changing them to
        local_irq_save and local_irq_restore respectively.

      [PATCH] remove check_region from saphir.c · 036c90dc
      William Stinson authored
        This patch for saphir.c isdn driver for Linux removes one call to
        check_region using request_region instead
      
        I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested at all (I hope I got
        it right).  This patch removes all references to check_region in this
        driver.
      
        This is patch number 11 in a series of check_region patches I am doing
        as part of the kernel janitors project.

      [PATCH] drivers_sgi_char_usema.c misc_register patch · ce641b88
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
        functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error
        return, I would like to submit my patch to drivers/sgi/char/usema.c
      
        This module did not check the return code of misc_register. I found Uttam
        Pawar's patch for this on GeoCrawler
        (http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/9221/2002/8/0/9246517/), but it
        doesn't appear to have been applied. This patch basically does exactly the
        same as his, so all credit is due to him.

      [PATCH] remove check_region from fdc-io.c version 2 · 7d857c13
      William Stinson authored
        This is version 2 of my proposed patch for fdc-io.c tape driver for
        Linux.  It
      
        	1) removes three calls to check_region using request_region instead.
        	2) in case of fatal error calls release_region to liberate region
      	   resources already allocated (as pointed out by Matthew Wilcox my
      	   first patch wasn't doing that)
      
        Remark regarding allocation of regions in this driver:
      
        If BROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER is defined the driver keeps going even if it
        can't allocate one or more region resources.  The driver does not
        store information concerning which allocations succeeded and which
        failed.  When and if subroutine fdc_release_regions is called it will
        then try to release all regions it normally reserves.  I don't know if
        this could cause any trouble in some (rare) situations?
      
        I don't have this hardware so only compilation is tested.  This patch
        removes all references to check_region in this driver.
      
        This is patch number 13 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
        part of the kernel janitors project.

      [PATCH] perf.c misc_register patch · ec9167fe
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
        functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error return, I
        would like to submit my patch to drivers/parisc/kernel/perf.c
      
        This patch simply causes the function to printk() an error and return the
        error code from misc_register() if it fails. I hope this is the right
        thing to do. I moved it slightly earlier in the function so I wouldn't
        have to worry about undoing the side effects of perf_patch_images().

      [PATCH] ip27-rtc.c create_proc_read_entry patch · 73ef1072
      Chris Wilson authored
        As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
        functions which call create_proc_*_entry and don't check for an error
        return, I would like to submit my patch to arch/mips64/sgi-ip27/ip27-rtc.c.
      
        This patch adds a printk() if misc_register fails (since that causes the
        driver to fail to load, it should be logged somewhere), and checks that
        create_proc_read_entry returned a valid handle. ENOENT seems to me like a
        good error code to return in this case, although EBUSY is a candidate too.

      [PATCH] Kernel Janitors patch to drivers_macintosh_ans-lcd.c · 5c6e6c72
      Chris Wilson authored
        Working on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, and following up on Mikal
        Still's work there, I'd like to submit a patch for the Macintosh ANS
        LCD driver.
      
        I believe from Mikal's Patches page that his previous patch was rejected
        due to not cleaning up properly. I believe my patch addresses this issue,
        by calling iounmap() to free the IO remapping created by ioremap() earlier
        in the function, if the call to misc_register() fails for any reason.
      
        Unfortunately I don't know how to get this driver to compile on my
        machine, and therefore I can't even check that my patch compiles. If you
        can advise me how to set my machine up to dompile these drivers, then
        please get in touch =) I hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes in this
        patch either.
