      [PATCH] remove_suid() should return error code · c884a1a3
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM>
      
      remove_suid() ignores return value of notify_change()->i_op->setattr().
      This mean, that even if file system fails to clear suid bit,
      generic_file_aio_write_nolock() proceeds with write, which is unsafe.
      
      Actually, even ext2's ->setattr() can fail, when trying to update ACL, for
      example.
      
      Attached patch modifies remove_suid() to return result of ->setattr(), and
      updates in-tree callers.

      [PATCH] meye driver update · 705e71d4
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>
      
      This patchlet is just a resync with my tree, it only increments the meye
      driver version number and makes some small comment changes as suggested by
      Randy Dunlap.

      [PATCH] VM overcommit documentation fixes · 2860cb86
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andy Whitcroft <andyw@uk.ibm.com>
      
      Whilst looking at the memory overcommit logic I noticed that the pointer to
      the documentation from the *_vm_enough_memory calls is incorrect.  Also
      that in one instance the routine does not have the expected pointers.

      [PATCH] sonypi devinit section usage · c1d1c7cd
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>
      
      This patch removes the usage of __devinit in the srs methods of the sonypi
      driver, because those functions are also called from sonypi_pm_callback().
      
      Patch originally from Randy Dunlap.

      [PATCH] add note about "Copyright" to SubmittingDrivers · 647abae9
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>
      
      This patch adds a comment to "Documentation/SubmittingDrivers" about the
      importance of adding a Copyright notice in submitted code.
      
      The parisc-linux port has neglected this in the past and I've been slowly
      trying to correct that (along with proper GPL header).
      
      While I make it sound like GPL is the "only" acceptable license, I'll leave
      it up to lawyers to determine what other appropriate license could be used
      for a new driver.

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
      
      Split EDD assembly code from setup.S into edd.S.  This will enable it to be
      #included into x86-64 too.

      [PATCH] EDD: move code from i386-specific locations to generic · 927f7639
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
      
      Three patches to move the BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive code from i386-specific
      locations into more generic locations, which will allow it to be used on
      x86-64 as well.
      
      move edd.h from include/asm-i386 to include/linux

      [PATCH] Fix uninlined memcmp on i386 · d50e304a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: DHollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
      
      This patch was needed against a pristine 2.6.4 kernel when compiling with
      "gcc 3.4 _very recent_" using the -Os option.
      
      Without this patch, modules would use a non-inline memcmp() and then not
      find it in the kernel, causing depmod to complain and some modules not to
      load.

      [PATCH] fix HZ leaking to userspace in BSD accounting · aa550c0d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Tim Schmielau <tim@physik3.uni-rostock.de>
      
      BSD accounting was missed in the conversion from HZ to USER_HZ.  I thought
      nobody cared, but apparently there are still users to it.
