Release notes for v2.5.10 Summary of changes from v2.5.9 to v2.5.10 ============================================ <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/16 1.532) Rename O_TARGET to <subdir>.o in drivers/usb. <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/16 1.533) Cleanup drivers/usb/Makefile and Config.in's Use the fact that now O_TARGET == <subdir.o> to simplify the Makefile. Correct mod-subdirs use. Remove unneeded code from drivers/usb/*/Config.in <tony@cantech.net.au> (02/04/17 1.531.4.1) [PATCH] Change "return EBLAH" to "return -EBLAH in drivers/* Hello All, This is a simple patch that changes several "return EBLAH"'s in drivers/* for "return -EBLAH". I have done my best to check the call stack to ensure that the change in sign of the return values wont break anything. The patch supplied is agaist linux-2.4.19-pre6 <oliver@neukum.name> (02/04/19 1.531.4.2) [PATCH] USB hpusbscsi device added USB hpusbscsi driver - device added <greg@kroah.com> (02/04/19 1.531.4.3) USB keyspan driver Added support for the 19QI and 19QW devices. Updated the firmware images with new versions. minor cleanups to the driver. <greg@kroah.com> (02/04/19 1.531.4.4) USB core Took out the limitation that drivers had to take up 16 minors. Now they can use only 1 if they want to. <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/21 1.531.6.8) Move CAPI subsystem and AVM drivers to their new place in the tree. <s.doyon@videotron.ca> (02/04/22 1.536) [PATCH] added Tieman Voyager USB Braille driver added Tieman Voyager USB Braille driver <mark@hal9000.dyndns.org> (02/04/22 1.537) This updates the ov511 driver to the latest stable version (1.60). Summary of changes: - Remove palette conversion and related code - Full OV518 support (except for color), initial OV518+ support - Improved OV6620 quality (Credit: Alexandre F.) - ov51x_init_isoc() should exit if usb_submit_urb() fails - ISO completion handler should only issue warning if bad data is received - Added "mirror" module parameter; reverses image horizontally - Changed USB control transaction fields to match Windows driver - New decompression module locking (decomp_ops->owner), per Greg's advice - EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS => EXPORT_SYMBOL - New devices: Lifeview USB Live TV PAL/SECAM and PAL D/K+B/G - Disabled buf_timeout feature. It was calling vfree() in interrupt context, which is illegal. Memory is deallocated immediately on close(). - Most sensors thought to be OV7620AE were actually OV76BE. Changed code to reflect this, and emit a warning if an OV7620AE is encountered. - Miscellaneous cleanups and bug fixes <greg@kroah.com> (02/04/22 1.538) USB ov511 driver changed test_bit() call. <petkan@mastika.lnxw.com> (02/04/22 1.539) USB pegasus and rtl8150 Rx tasklet cleanups for both pegasus and rtl8150 <greg@kroah.com> (02/04/22 1.540) USB keyspan driver general cleanups: - removed commented out function prototypes - removed duplicate function prototypes - removed unneeded #include - added named initializers - merged lots of the individual device structures into general 1, 2, and 4 port structures. <david-b@pacbell.net> (02/04/22 1.541) [PATCH] PATCH: 2.5.8 ehci, submit errors It fixes problems with interrupt transfers, which I think that nobody else has run into (or I'd surely have heard of it :). Looks like not many folk are using USB 2.0 hubs yet. - wasn't checking enough of the periodic schedule to detect bandwidth overcommit (would BUG out) - frames to uframes is rightshift 3, not 8 :) - properly cleans up (no oops!) after certain rare errors in the interrupt submit path (just my luck to hit one) - use that cleanup to bypass some old implementation shortcuts in the control and bulk submit paths - there are also some other minor updates/cleanups <david-b@pacbell.net> (02/04/22 1.542) [PATCH] Re: PATCH: 2.5.8 ehci, submit errors Oh, and for non-x86 platforms with interesting pci mapping, this tweak to one new routine would be important in a particular error path I've yet to see ... :) <dkuhlen@fhm.edu> (02/04/22 1.543) [PATCH] fix USB documentation bug USB fix documentation bug After some source investigations I discovered a harmless mistake: The description of the usb_control_msg(...) function says it returns 0, or less than 0 if an error occured, but the usb_internal_control_msg returns length, which is sometimes >0 (success) or <0 if error. <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/22 1.531.7.1) Remove one occurence of list-multi in drivers/isdn/tpam/Makefile <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/22 1.531.7.2) Remove list-multi in drivers/net/*/Makefile <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/22 1.531.7.3) Remove list-multi in sound/*/Makefile <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/22 1.544.2.1) Duh. Re-fix the UP setup_per_cpu_areas() case that got fixed a few times too many already ;) <anton@samba.org> (02/04/22 1.544.2.2) [PATCH] double down() in nfsd_symlink As a result of the recent BKL removal in notify_change, nfsd_symlink downs the inode semaphore twice (the first time is in fh_lock). <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> (02/04/23 1.547) Fix a typo which left aic7xxx/Makefile broken Now it really works (I tried). <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/23 1.548) Fix some strange (and incorrect) reiserfs bit-op casts.. No object-code changes, but removes warnings from the stricter typechecking. <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/23 1.549) Add a "const" qualifier to test_bit() on x86, to avoid warnings for proper usage. <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/23 1.550) Update to version 2.5.10 <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/23 1.551) Add ATI Radeon 8500 ID <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/23 1.552) Bitops need "unsigned long". <oliendm@us.ibm.com> (02/04/23 1.553) [PATCH] 2.5.9 SEM_UNDO patch As we discussed some time ago, here is a patch for the SEM_UNDO change that can be applied to linux-2.5.9. <haveblue@us.ibm.com> (02/04/23 1.554) [PATCH] Locking in sync_old_buffers Move BKL into the fs-specific write_super()'s. <kuebelr@email.uc.edu> (02/04/23 1.555) [PATCH] spelling mistakes Fix a few spelling mistakes in documentation (arch/i386/boot/setup.S, Documentation/sysrq.txt). <smurf@osdl.org> (02/04/23 1.556) [PATCH] MegaRAID - compile fix for 2.5.9 This fixes compile errors. It has been tested with a weekend of Bonnie++ 8GB runs on a RAID0 setup at the OSDL. This was built against and tested on 2.5.8 and applies cleanly to 2.5.9. LSI told me they have a version 2.0 of the driver in development but it would be really nice to have the dang thing working now ;-) <ak@muc.de> (02/04/23 1.557) [PATCH] x86-64 next sync for 2.5.9 This patch fixes up some lose ends left over from the last x86-64 jumbo merge. - make it compile again. ia32_ioctl was referencing IDE ioctls that got remove in a merge race - Use the memset/FXRSTOR way to initialize the FPU, as discussed. - Fix semctl/shmctl ABI (thanks to Andreas Schwab) - Other minor fixes. <torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/23 1.558) Fix include files for write_super BKL move.
