      [libata] preparation for writeback caching support · 8962c315
      Jeff Garzik authored
      * bug fix: make sure 'nsect' member of struct ata_queued_cmd is
      initialized each time a cmd is re-used.  Only affects PIO data xfers,
      which nobody uses.
      * slightly change the way a device's flags are printed out.  currently
      the only flag is 'lba48', but soon 'wcache' will appear also.
      * add WB-cache-related constants and macros to linux/ata.h

      [PATCH] ppc64: extra barrier in I/O operations · 307b7297
      Paul Mackerras authored
      At the moment, on PPC64, the instruction we use for wmb() doesn't
      order cacheable stores vs. non-cacheable stores.  (It does order
      cacheable vs. cacheable and non-cacheable vs. non-cacheable.)  This
      causes problems in the sort of driver code that writes stuff into
      memory, does a wmb(), then a writel to the device to start a DMA
      operation to read the stuff it has just written to memory.
      
      This patch solves the problem by adding a sync instruction before the
      store in the write* and out* macros.  The sync is a full barrier that
      orders all loads and stores, cacheable or not.  The patch also moves
      the eieio instruction that we had after the store to before the load
      in the read* and in* macros.  With the sync before the store, we don't
      need an eieio as well in a sequence of stores, but we still need an
      eieio between a store and a load.
      
      I think it is better to do this than to turn wmb() into a full memory
      barrier (a sync instruction) because the full barrier is slow and
      isn't needed with the sync in the write*/out* macros.  This way,
      write*/out* are fully ordered with respect to preceding loads and
      stores, which is what driver writers expect, and we avoid penalizing
      users of wmb() who are only doing cacheable stores.

      [PATCH] ntfs cleanup · fec95414
      Alexander Viro authored
      	ntfs_fill_super() and ntfs_read_inode_mount() cleaned up.  Removed
      the kludges around the first iget() on NTFS.  Instead of playing with
      (re)setting ->s_op we have the MFT_FILE inode set up by explicit new_inode()/
      set ->i_ino/insert_inode_hash()/call ntfs_read_inode_mount() directly.
      That kills the need of second super_operations and it allows to return
      error from ntfs_read_inode_mount() without resorting to ugly "poisoning"
      tricks.

      qla2100 fabric fixes · 50f61b55
      James Bottomley authored
      From: "Andrew Vasquez" <andrew.vasquez@qlogic.com>
      
      Ok, well there aren't too many folks using an QLA2100 in a fabric
      topology, if there were, they wouldn't have gotten very far in the
      driver load sequence.  I've been able to scrape-up a QLA2100, 1Gig
      switch, and an JBOD.  Upon loading the 8.00.00b12k driver, the
      firmware successfully logs into the switch, the driver receives a
      LOOP_UP event, but, the kernel panics due to NULL pointer dereference
      while trying to perform an RFT_ID  -- the attached patch against
      current scsi-misc-2.6 fixes that problem.

      [PATCH] fix LLD module refcounting in sr.c · d512a35f
      James Bottomley authored
      The patch to close all the open/close/hotplug races in sr left the
      module refcounting broken so that the ULD housing the CD device now
      can't be removed until the device itself is removed.
      
      This patch (structurally identical to the one for sd.c to perform the
      same function) fixes the module refcounting.

      [PATCH] Add SMT setup for domain scheduler on x86-64 · 5034465f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
      
      Set up SMT for the domain scheduler on x86-64.  This way the scheduling
      works better on HyperThreading aware systems; in particular it will use
      both physical CPUs before sharing two virtual CPUs on the same package. 
      This improves performance considerably in some cases.
      
      Based on the i386 code and a previous patch from Suresh B. Siddha.

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
      
      PowerPC64 ABI has ".funcname" (the actual function) and "funcname" (the
      function descriptor) and we strip off the dots in "dedotify" called from
      module_frob_arch_sections().  We need to also de-dotify the corresponding
      names in the __version section.
      
      Actually has nothing to do with __down, it's just that we only print the
      first symbol whose version is missing.

      [PATCH] PPC termio fix · 5a3e2446
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
      
      It turns out that we are not handling the TABDLY bits of the termios
      c_oflag field correctly on PPC, PPC64 and Alpha.  These three architectures
      have a value for XTABS that is different from the TAB3 value.  POSIX
      specifies that setting the TABDLY field to TAB3 should result in tabs being
      expanded to spaces.  In n_tty.c:opost() we check for O_TABDLY(tty) ==
      XTABS, which is fine on most architectures because they have XTABS == TAB3.
      
      I think the right thing to do is just to change the definition of XTABS to
      be the same as TAB3 on these architectures.  The patch below does this for
      PPC and PPC64 (and I suggest the Alpha maintainer should do the same).  At
      the moment, applications using either the XTABS or TAB3 values won't get
      the expected behaviour.  With this patch, apps that use TAB3 will get the
      expected behaviour.  Apps that use XTABS will need to be recompiled (but
      note that the POSIX-specified name to use is TAB3 not XTABS).

      [PATCH] remove intermezzo · ffaffb06
      Andrew Morton authored
      Peter Braam said:
      
          I would just like to say that I have no difficulties with intermezzo
          being rm -rf'd.  There are probably only a handful of users.  
      
          In the past 4 years nobody has supported InterMezzo sufficiently for
          it to become successful.  I have been fortunate to get really good support
          for the Lustre project.  So I have focussed on that.  Lustre 1.X has
          become really solid.
      
          The disconnected operation, caching and mirroring functionality of
          InterMezzo will become available in Lustre as a new feature in version 2. 
      
           So I see no point in keeping InterMezzo if it is a nuisance. 
      
      
      The patch removes the references to intermezzo.  Please do a `bk rm' of
      fs/intermezzo.
