      [PATCH] writeback livelock fix · 1ed73535
      Andrew Morton authored
      If a filesystem's ->writepage implementation repeatedly refuses to write the
      page (it keeps on redirtying it instead) (reiserfs seems to do this) then the
      writeback logic can get stuck repeately trying to write the same page.
      
      Fix that up by correctly setting wbc->pages_skipped, to tell the writeback
      logic that things aren't working out.

      [PATCH] symlink doesn't support kobj name > 20 charaters (KOBJ_NAME_LEN) · 1c710c64
      Linda Xie authored
      Since symlink.c uses "name" field of a kobj when it calculates the
      length,  it gets a wrong value if the kobj's name  has more than 20
      charathers.  A correct way to do that is to call kobject_name(kobj)
      instead of using kobj->name directly.

      [PATCH] tipar char driver: wrong timeout value · c0b3a38f
      Romain Liévin authored
      this patch (2.4 & 2.6) fixes a bug about the timeout value. The formula
      used to calculate jiffies from timeout is wrong.
      The new formula is ok and takes care of integer computation/rounding.
      There is the same bug in the tiglusb.c module which will be fixed by another
      patch.

      [PATCH] USB: ftdi patch fixup · 78bf7a14
      Jan Capek authored
      I just checked out the latest 2.6.6-rc1-mm1 to see that the ID patch for
      ftdi has applied cleanly, but apparently someone was faster and in the
      combined ID table our ID's were missing.
      Most probably the patch program got confused and applied the hung at wrong
      spot..
      
      Attached is a patch that places that 2 lines in the correct spot.

      [PATCH] USB: tiglusb: wrong timeout value · 52f62ca4
      Romain Liévin authored
      Hi,
      
      this patch (cumulative; 2.4 & 2.6) fixes another bug in the tiglusb
      driver. The formula used to calculate jiffies from timeout is wrong.
      The new formula is ok and takes care of integer computation/rounding.
      This is the same kind of bug than in the tipar char driver.

      [PATCH] USB: silence dpcm warning · b157e37f
      William Lee Irwin III authored
      Warnings aren't terribly important in and of themselves, but there
      isn't really much the warning tells us to do here, so it would appear
      that caving in to the compiler is the thing to do for now.

      [PATCH] USB: rndis gadget driver updates · 920f873a
      David Brownell authored
      Various build fixes:  64bit (Andrew Morton), static linking,
      broken on big-endian, etc.
      
      Tighten up the integration with the main "ether" driver, so
      state transitions and host ethernet addresses are shared too.
      Add missing spinlock calls around RNDIS command outcall,
      fix GET_INTERFACE issue, host mustn't clobber netdev flags.
      
      Minor code cleanups.

      [PATCH] USB: ehci handles pci misbehavior better · 836115bf
      David Brownell authored
      Cope better when PCI misbehaves badly and registers misbehave:
      
          - terminate some loops before they get to infinity
             * capability scan
             * port reset
          - after init failure, memory may already be cleaned up
      
      Some systems have been reporting such problems after ACPI resume.

      [PATCH] use smp_processor_id() in init_IRQ() · 98a5d354
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      This replaces current_thread_info()->cpu in i386' init_IRQ() by the
      equivalent smp_processor_id().
      
      Reduces overhead on UP, and makes the code cleaner.

      [PATCH] clean up Pentium M quirk code in nmi.c · 7bc2551d
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      This simplifies the Pentium M quirk code in nmi.c, and eliminates an
      unnecessary apic_read().
      
      Local APIC accesses are not zero-cycle; let's not inflict more damage
      than we must.

      This patch just adds some proc entries for the virtual tape and cdrom
      drivers to allow mapping between linux devices and OS/400 ones.  This is
      expected by existing users and there is no other way to do this
      translation.

      This patch fixes loading viocd as a module.  It would oops because I was

      a module, this address is not valid for that purpose.
      
      There are a couple of simple cleanups here as well.
