      [MTD] Convert physmap to platform driver · 73566edf
      Lennert Buytenhek authored 
      After dwmw2 let me know it ought to be done, I rewrote the physmap map
driver to be a platform driver.  I know zilch about the driver model,
so I probably botched it in some way, but I've done some tests on an
ixp23xx board which uses physmap, and it all seems to work.

In order to not break existing physmap users, I've added some compat
code that will instantiate a platform device iff CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
is defined and != 0.  Also, I've changed the default value for
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN to zero, so that people who inadvertently
compile in physmap (or new, platform-style, users of physmap) don't get
burned.

This works pretty well -- the new physmap driver is a drop-in replacement
for the old one, and works on said ixp23xx board without any code changes
needed.  (This should hold as long as users don't touch 'physmap_map'
directly.)

Once all physmap users have been converted to instantiate their own
platform devices, the compat code can go.  (Or we decide that we can
change all the in-tree users at the same time, and never merge the
compat code.)

      forcedeth: fix multi irq issues · ebf34c9b
      Ayaz Abdulla authored 
      This patch fixes the issues with multiple irqs.

I am resending based on feedback. I decoupled the dma mask for
consistent memory and fixed leak with multiple irq in error path.

Thanks to Manfred for catching the spin lock problem.

      [PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards · 3e0d167a
      Craig Brind authored 
      Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.

Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded.  On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding.  This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.

Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.

Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used.  This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary.  There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.

The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident.  Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host.  I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

      [PATCH] mv643xx_eth: provide sysfs class device symlink · b0b8dab2

The SET_NETDEV_DEV has to be done before a call to register_netdev.  With
the new patch below, the device symlink for the platform device was
created.  Unfortunately, after the 4 ls commands, the network connection
died.  No idea if the box crashed or if something else broke, lost remote
access.

Provide sysfs 'device' in /class/net/ethN Also, set module owner field,
like pcnet32 driver does.

      [PATCH] splice: fix page LRU accounting · a893b99b
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Currently we rely on the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU flag being set correctly
to know whether we need to fiddle with page LRU state after stealing it,
however for some origins we just don't know if the page is on the LRU
list or not.

So remove PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU and do this check/add manually in pipe_to_file()
instead.

      Jens Axboe authored 
      We need to use the minium of {len, PAGE_SIZE-off}, not {len, PAGE_SIZE}-off.
The latter doesn't make any sense, and could cause us to attempt negative
length transfers...
