Subject: Linux-2.4.0-test12


Ok, there it is. Noticeable changes from pre8 are mainly (a) new tq list
compile fixes and (b) the NetApp snapshot thing.

Dave's merge_segments thing could in theory be a deadlock on SMP.

----
 - final:
    - David Miller: sparc and net updates. Fix merge_segments.
    - Dan Aloni: ISA PnP name parsing cleanup
    - Mohammad Haque and others: hunt down tq initializations.
    - Petr Vandrovec: ncpfs config changes
    - Neil Brown: raid and md cleanups
    - Pete Zaitcev: ymfpci update
    - Alan Cox: sync (network driver MODULE_OWNER and cleanups)
    - Martin Diehl: pirq router for VLSI 82C534 (HP OmniBook and others)
    - Tigran Aivazian: ia32 microcode driver update
    - Tim Waugh: parport fixes (ECP write, documentation)
    - Richard Henderson: alpha update
    - David Woodhouse: MTD update
    - Trond Myklebust: index the NFS inode cache using the file handle.
      This makes NetApp snapshot directories do the right thing.

 - test8:

    - Andrew Morton: call_usermodehelper() fixes
    - Urban Widmark: clean up and enable shared mmap on smbfs.
    - Trond Myklebust: fix NFS path revalidation.

 - test7:
    - Kai Germaschewski: ymfpci cleanups and resource leak fixes
    - me: UHCI drivers really need to enable bus mastering.
    - Trond Myklebust: fix up nfs_writepage_sync() to not require "filp".

    - Nils Faerber: cs46xx sounddriver update

 - pre6:
    - Alan Cox: synch. PA-RISC arch and bitops cleanups

    - Andries Brouwer: final isofs pieces.
    - Kai Germaschewski: ISDN
    - play CD audio correctly, don't stop after 12 minutes.

    - Stephen Tweedie: fix inode dirty block handling
    - Bill Hartner: reschedule_idle - prefer right cpu
    - Johannes Erdfelt: USB updates
    - Alan Cox: synchronize
    - Richard Henderson: alpha updates and optimizations
    - Geert Uytterhoeven: fbdev could be fooled into crashing fix
    - Trond Myklebust: NFS filehandles in inode rather than dentry

    - Tigran Aivazian: use atomic_dec_and_lock() for free_uid()

 - pre2:
    - Peter Anvin: more P4 configuration parsing
    - Stephen Tweedie: O_SYNC patches. Make O_SYNC/fsync/fdatasync
      do the right thing.
    - Keith Owens: make mdule loading use the right struct module size
    - Boszormenyi Zoltan: get MTRR's right for the >32-bit case
