Update for new notify_change semantics
<akpm@zip.com.au> (02/04/06 1.369.103.2)
[PATCH] ->setattr() locking changes
ext3 was missed - the removal of the BKL in notify_change
means that the filesytem fails quite quickly on SMP in -pre2.
Sorry, I should have spotted that when the patch floated past.
<bcollins@debian.org> (02/04/06 1.369.103.3)
[PATCH] IEEE-1394 Updates
ieee1394 updates:
- New drivers: eth1394, admtp
- nodemgr cleanup

[PATCH] ->setattr() locking changes
Take ->i_sem in all callers of notify_change().
<david-b@pacbell.net> (02/04/06 1.369.105.1)
USB usbnet driver update
- adds ethtool support (based on code from Brad Hards)
- makes diagnostic level configurable (ethtool, module param)

ppc64: fix warning in rtasd.c
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.437)
ppc64: create cacheflush.h and tlbflush.h
ppc64: remove local_flush_* functions, just define them directly
<paulus@nanango.paulus.ozlabs.org> (02/04/08 1.369.106.2)
PPC update; create cacheflush.h and tlbflush.h and define default_idle
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.369.107.1)
Make cond_syscall per arch. This is required on some architectures
(eg ppc64) where foo points to a function descriptor and .foo is
the address of the actual function.
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.438)
replace flush_tlb_all with flush_tlb_kernel_range which allows
optimisations on some architectures.
<johannes@erdfelt.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.3)
[PATCH] uhci.c SMP deadlock
This patch fixes a bug reported by Greg and David, as well as some other
people recently.
uhci.c would call wait_ms, which can sleep, with spinlocks held. There
are two places where this happens, but only one was the cause of the
problem.
<johannes@erdfelt.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.4)
[PATCH] uhci.c cleanup
This patch merely cleans up the code a little and doesn't fix any bugs.
It makes a couple of code paths a bit easier to understand, removes an
unused variable (uhci_list) and some procfs variables when not using
procfs.
<johannes@erdfelt.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.5)
[PATCH] uhci.c incorrect locking
This fixes a problem that I've not run into and is difficult to trigger,
but definately a bug. We locked urb->lock, when we meant u->lock. It also
cleans up the code a little to make it easier to understand and removes
an obsolete comment.
<johannes@erdfelt.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.6)
[PATCH] uhci.c FSBR speed problem
The dangers of not ensuring important fields are properly set.
Some, if not all, of the speed problems with uhci.c were caused because
some important fields were not set and as a result, FSBR was never
turned on.
This patch also ensures is_suspended is set to 0 properly. This could
cause some problems suspending the HC when no devices are plugged in.
<greg@kroah.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.7)
changed direct access of current->state to set_current_state() call.
Thanks to Paul Komkoff for reminding me of this.
<agrover@groveronline.com> (02/04/08 1.369.1.221)
[PATCH] ACPI compile fix
Hi Linus,
Oops, SMP non-ACPI doesn't compile with the previous ACPI update. This
fixes that.
<axboe@suse.de> (02/04/08 1.369.1.222)
[PATCH] disable high mem on pio, ide
ide-dma incorrectly only clears high memory support if the verbose dma
disabling is called, it should clear it for the non-verbose too.
<cph@zurich.ai.mit.edu> (02/04/08 1.369.105.8)
[PATCH] page limit on bulk transfers in usbfs?
Here is an updated patch using kmalloc that removes the page limit
on bulk transfers in usbfs. I've tested it and it seems to work OK.
<ddstreet@us.ibm.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.9)
[PATCH] usbfs disconnect
This was originally created by David many months ago and posted to the
list, but not put into the kernel.
I modified the original patch to:
-patch against the 2.5.7 kernel
-use the 'real' interface number, not position (to do this I added 2
methods in usb.c)
<greg@kroah.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.10)
USB bluetooth tty driver
renamed the bluetooth.c file to bluettty.c to help prevent user confusion
between this driver and the bluez bluetooth stack in the kernel.
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.441)
[PATCH] missing includes in seq_file.h
include/linux/seq_file.h uses memcpy and struct semaphore and so should
include the relevant files.
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.442)
[PATCH] fix busy loop in migration thread init
Since we do not set the task state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, we busy loop.
On larger SMP this can actually result in a lockup due to the way
migration thread initalisation is done (nr_cpus threads are created
and they all busy loop until the scheduler evenly distributes them,
one on each cpu. With this rogue thread busy looping things can become
unbalanced and the migration threads never distribute themselves onto
all cpus).
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.443)
[PATCH] missing include in fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c
We forgot to include linux/init.h in fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c.
<anton@samba.org> (02/04/08 1.444)
[PATCH] increase dynamic proc entries for ppc64
Unfortunately the proc filesystem has a limit on the number of dynamic
proc entries it can create. On large systems we can exhaust the default
(4096) very quickly. The following patch increases the default to
something more reasonable.
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl> (02/04/08 1.445)
[PATCH] size_in_bytes
It is a step on the road to removal of the arrays.
It also solves other things, like the fact that Linux
is unable to read the last sector of a disk or partition
with an odd number of sectors.
<bgerst@didntduck.org> (02/04/08 1.446)
[PATCH] Clean up x86 interrupt entry code
This patch moves the generation of the asm interrupt entry stubs from
i8259.c to entry.S. This allows it to be done with less code and
without needing duplicate definitions of SAVE_ALL, GET_CURRENT, etc.
<rgooch@ras.ucalgary.ca> (02/04/08 1.447)
[PATCH] devfs patch for 2.5.8-pre2
- Documentation updates
- BKL removal (devfs doesn't need the BKL)
- Changed <devfs_rmdir> to allow later additions if not yet empty
- Added calls to <devfs_register_partitions> in drivers/block/blkpc.c
<add_partition> and <del_partition>
- Bug fixes in unique number and devnum allocators.
<david-b@pacbell.net> (02/04/08 1.369.105.11)
USB kerneldoc fixes
This fixes some kerneldoc bugs for USB. It catches up with
the recent rename, and includes a couple minor tweaks/fixes
I happened to notice.
<david-b@pacbell.net> (02/04/08 1.369.105.12)
This patch is a more complete fix for the device refcount
sanity checking and cleanup on device disconnect.
- Splits apart usb_dec_dev_use(), for driver use, and
usb_free_dev(), for hub/hcd use. Both now have
kerneldoc, and will BUG() if the refcount and the
device tree get out of sync. (Except for cleanup of
root hub init errors, refcount must go to zero only
at the instant disconnect processing completes.)
- More usbcore-internal function declarations are
now moved out of <linux/usb.h> into hcd.h
- Driver-accessible refcounting is now inlined; minor
code shrinkage, it's using atomic inc/dec instructions
not function calls.
<note from greg k-h, there is still some work to be done with USB device
reference counting, but this patch is a step in the right direction.>
<greg@kroah.com> (02/04/08 1.369.105.13)
USB
cleaned up the comments to put them in proper docbook format.
<dalecki@evision-ventures.com> (02/04/09 1.449)
[PATCH] 2.5.8-pre2 IDE 29b
- Eliminate the mate member of the ata_channel structure. The information
provided by it is already present. This patch may have undesirable
effects on the ns87415.c and trm290.c host chip drivers, but it's worth
for structural reasons to have it.
- Kill unused code, which was "fixing" interrupt routing from ide-pci.c Don't
pass any "mate" between the functions there.
- Don't define SUPPORT_VLB_SYNC unconditionally in ide-taskfile.c
- Apply Vojtech Pavliks fix for piix host-chip driver crashes.
- Add linux/types.h to ide-pnp.c.
- Apply latest sis5513 host chip driver patch from by Lionel Bouton by hand.
- Apply patch by Paul Macerras for power-mac.
- Try to make the ns87415 driver a bit more reentrant.
<wim@iguana.be> (02/04/09 1.447.1.1)
[PATCH] 2.5.8-pre2 i8xx series chipsets patches
i810_rng: add support for other i8xx chipsets to the Random Number Generator module.
This is being done by adding the detection of the 82801BA(M) and 82801CA(M) I/O Controller Hub's.
<torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com> (02/04/09 1.451)
update x86 defconfig for USB changes
<torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com> (02/04/09 1.452)
[PATCH] set-bit cleanup I: x86_capability.
Cosmetic change: x86_capability. Makes it an unsigned long, and
removes the gratuitous & operators (it is already an array). These
produce warnings when set_bit() etc. takes an unsigned long * instead
of a void *.
Originally from Rusty Russell
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (02/04/09 1.453)
[PATCH] per-cpu cleanup
As per David Mosberger's request, splits into per-arch files (solves the
#include mess), and fixes my "was not an lvalue" bug.
<viro@math.psu.edu> (02/04/09 1.454)
[PATCH] open_namei cleanup, nfsctl permission check fix
a) part of open_namei() done after we'd found vfsmount/dentry of
the object we want to open had been split into a helper - may_open().
b) do_open() in fs/nfsctl.c didn't do any permission checks on
the nfsd file it was opening - sudden idiocy attack on my part (I missed
the fact that dentry_open() doesn't do permission checks - open_namei()
does). Fixed by adding obvious may_open() calls.
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com> (02/04/09 1.455)
Update kernel version
<rml@tech9.net> (02/04/09 1.456)
[PATCH] cpu affinity syscalls
This patch implements the following calls to set and retrieve a task's
CPU affinity:
int sched_setaffinity(pid_t pid, unsigned int len,
unsigned long *new_mask_ptr)
int ched_getaffinity(pid_t pid, unsigned int len,
unsigned long *user_mask_ptr)

[PATCH] 1083/1: 64-bit unsigned modulo arithmetic support
I've added support for 64-bit modulo arithmetic on ARM. This is needed for
the video4linux API to function properly and since there's already support
for 64-bit divides, I think there shouldn't be any reason for the absence of
this.

2.4.18-rmk3 fails to build on the EBSA285 if there is no video stuff
enabled with a missing symbol. For me the linker lied and told me it
was in irq.c but it was actually in the previous file in the link,
mach-footbridge/arch.c ; the symbol is screen_info which is what the
ORIG_* macros use.
Note I haven't yet tested this booting, just building.

This fixes the "i_blocks went wrong when the disk filled up"
problem.
In ext3_new_block() we increment i_blocks early, so the
quota operation can be performed outside lock_super().
But if the block allocation ends up failing, we forget to
undo the allocation.
This is not a serious bug, and probably does not warrant
an upgrade for production machines. Its effects are:
1) errors are generated from e2fsck and
2) users could appear to be over quota when they really aren't.
The patch undoes the accounting operation if the allocation
ends up failing.

Andrew Morton's ext2 sync mount speedup. Description:
At present, when mounted synchronously or with `chattr +S' in effect,
ext2 syncs the indirect blocks for every new block when extending a
file.
This is not necessary, because a sync is performed on the way out of
generic_file_write(). This will pick up all necessary data from
inode->i_dirty_buffers and inode->i_dirty_data_buffers, and is
sufficient.
The patch removes all the syncing of indirect blocks.
On a non-write-caching scsi disk, an untar of the util-linux tarball
runs three times faster. Writing a 100 megabyte file in one megabyte
chunks speeds up ten times.
The patch also removes the intermediate indirect block syncing on the
truncate() path. Instead, we sync the indirects at a single place, via
inode->i_dirty_buffers. This not only means that the writes (may)
cluster better. It means that we perform much, much less actual I/O
during truncate, because most or all of the indirects will no longer be
needed for the file, and will be invalidated.
fsync() and msync() still work correctly. One side effect of this
patch is that VM-initiated writepage() against a file hole will no
longer block on writeout of indirect blocks. This is good.
<akpm@zip.com.au> (02/04/04 1.369.97.3)
ext3 filesystem sync mount speedup:
Again, we don't need to sync indirects as we dirty them because
we run a commit if IS_SYNC(inode) prior to returning to the
caller of write(2).
Writing a 10 meg file in 0.1 meg chunks is sped up by, err,
a factor of fifty. That's a best case.

[PATCH] kjournald exits with nonzero preempt_count
The preempt_count debug check that went into 2.5.8-pre1 already caught a
simple case in kjournald. Specifically, kjournald does not drop the BKL
when it exits as it knows schedule will do so for it.
For the sake of clarity and exiting with a preempt_count of zero, the
attached patch explicitly calls unlock_kernel when kjournald is exiting.

[PATCH] preemptive kernel behavior change: don't be rude
- do not manually set task->state
- instead, in preempt_schedule, set a flag in preempt_count that
denotes that this task is entering schedule off a kernel preemption.
- use this flag in schedule to jump to pick_next_task
- in preempt_schedule, upon return from schedule, unset the flag
- have entry.S just call preempt_schedule and not duplicate this work,
as Linus suggested. I agree. Note this makes debugging easier as
we keep a single point of entry for kernel preemptions.
The result: we can safely preempt non-TASK_RUNNING tasks. If one is
preempted, we can safely survive schedule because we won't handle the
special casing of non-TASK_RUNNING at the top of schedule. Thus other
tasks can run as desired and our non-TASK_RUNNING task will eventually
be rescheduled, in its original state, and complete happily.
This is the behavior we have in the 2.4 patches and 2.5 until
~2.5.6-pre. This works. It requires no other changes elsewhere (it
actually removes some special-casing Ingo did in the signal code).

[PATCH] elevator 'buglet'
Lets just kill this check -- it usually only catches drivers queueing
something in front of a started request on their own (such as shoving a
request sense in front of a failed packet command, for instance). So
it's either working around this detection in some drivers, or killing
it. I vote for the latter, patch attached against 2.5.8-pre1 :-)

[PATCH] PATCH 1 of 4 : knfsd : Use symbols for size calculation for response sizes.

[PATCH] PATCH 2 of 4 : knfsd : Allow exporting of deviceless filesystems if fsid= given
Previously we could only export FS_REQUIRES_DEV filesystems
as we need a devno to put in the filehandle.
Now that we have fsid= (NFSEXP_FSID) we don't need a devno
to put in the filehandle so we can relax this requirement.
<neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> (02/04/05 1.369.1.206)
[PATCH] PATCH 3 of 4 : knfsd : Store the fsid in the returned attributes instead of the device number
When a filesystem is exported with fsid= we should use that
fsid instead of the i_dev number when returning NFS attributes,
so that there is no chance of clients that depend on the filesys
id in the attributes getting confused by device numbers changing.
We only do this if the reference filehandle uses fsid to identify
the filesystem, so that a server can be converted from non-fsid= to
using fsid= without confusing active clients.

USB mem flags nonpoisonous
This patch completely punts on passing SLAB_POISON, I've
gotten burnt by it once too many. Seems like the slab code
changed somewhere. I've got a separate patch to make the
pci_pool code use CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, which I'll send
around.
Meanwhile, I needed this to get at least EHCI to intialize on
a 2.5.7-pre1 system. Please merge.

USB echi and Intel ICH
This updates the Philips tweak so that it also applies
to late-model ICH chips from Intel. (Or so I'm told ... :)
That's at least three EHCI implementations known to
behave on Linux. (And one hopes VIA soon too...)
It also cleans up a few comments relating to 64bit DMA;
recent API spec updates make it look like no games are
needed with the PCI DMA mask -- it doesn't change the
segment used by pci_pool allocations, so it just needs
to get turned on if the overall system does 64bit DMA.
I've a query in to see if those Philips/Intel tweaks are
chip quirks, or just something the EHCI 1.0 spec isn't
at all clear about.

This is ever so slightly forward looking in how it describes
bandwidth requirements for high speed periodic transfers,
it's expecting a bugfix patch that's in my queue. (That info
is currently broken/meaningless.)

[PATCH] uhci.c 2.4.19-pre3 kmem_cache_alloc flags
My previous patch which cleaned up some of the spinlocks, moved one of
the spinlocks around a call to kmem_cache_alloc. It would sometimes
erroneously call it with GFP_KERNEL.
This patch fixes the problem by always calling it with GFP_ATOMIC.
Thanks to Greg for pointing this out to me.

[PATCH] uhci.c 2.4.19-pre3 erroneous completion callback

USB usbfs periodic endpoint/bandwidth reporting
This is an updated version of a patch I sent around a
while back. It's against 2.5.7-pre1 (so presumably is
fine on 2.5.7), and addresses feedback against that
earlier patch.
It's bugfixes, mostly for highspeed support, to what
/proc/bus/usb/devices shows:
- Shows isochronous periods correctly (logarithmic
encoding, possibly 1/2/4 microframes if highspeed)
- Likewise for high-speed interrupt periods (similar)
- Makes high bandwidth endpoints look like they
just do bigger packets (up to 3 KBytes/uframe)
- Shows highspeed bandwidth correctlly (80% reserved,
vs 90% reserved for full/low speed).

e100 net driver update:
1) This patch provides fix for "wake on arp" and "wake on unicast"
functionality when card is suspended by power management. When e100_suspend
was called for the device that is in netif_running state the load filter
command was executed in the asynchronic mode and the order of actions
required to put device into wake up enabled mode was broken.
The fix enables to execute WOL configure and load filter commands in the
synchronic mode despite of fact that device is in netif_running state. The
exec_non_cu_command uses the driver_isolated flag to identify this
situation.
2) add EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS (yay Intel, you have come so far... :))

Periodically folk have run into problems where usb-ohci oopses

This is a minor patch to move the sanity check out of usb-ohci

Applies cleanly against 2.5.7 and I've been testing with it

into 2.4, beyond the patch not applying cleanly there ... :)

The fix is to close the device in usb_serial_disconnect() so that
module refcounts are properly updated.

USB audio driver
- Makes "audio" set the urb->interval in its periodic URBs,
so it can submit through the hcd framework.
<david-b@pacbell.net> (02/03/28 1.369.70.50)
USB hcd driver updates
- Nitpickey bugfix to root hub config descriptors ... can't use
the same one for high and full speed, since the encoding
is different (255 ms FS == 0xff, 256 ms HS == 0x12).
- Related, force period to 1/4 second rather than doing
any sanity checking for the roothub timer (from Georg)
- Don't "giveback" urbs on submit path errors (from Georg)
... means they don't get completion callbacks
- Additional error checks on URB data (from Georg)
- Uses <linux/completion.h> for unlink synchronization
- The "already unlinking" error case is reported like other
unlinking errors (not as success)
- Ripped out urb->next handling ... it wasn't compatible
with the ISO loop model, and at this point I believe it
should be completely replaced with queuing urbs inside
of the HCDs. (Every HCD handles it for ISO, UHCI needs
a magic flag to enable it for bulk ...)

[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 23
- Support for additional Promise controller id's (PDC20276).
- Remove code duplication between do_rw_taskfile and do_taskfile.
This will evolve into a more reasonable ata_command() function
finally. The ata_taskfile function has far too many arguments, but
I favour this over having two different code paths for getting
actual data to the drive.

[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 24
- Push BAD_DMA_DRIVE and GOOD_DMA_DRIVE to the ide-pmac.c file, since this is
the only place where those get used.
- Kill unused fields from the ide_task_s structure. In esp. we pass a task
attached to a request and not the other way around!
- Rename hwif field to channel in struct ide_drive_s.
- Move the request queue to the level where proper serialization has to happen
anyway - the channel structure.

[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 25
- Replace the task_io_reg_t with the simple u8. There is no need to obfuscate
the code more then necessary.
- kill some unnecessary type definitions out from hdreg.h.
- Add proper attributes to register files in hdreg.h.
- Don't use raw arrays for tfRegister and hobRegister in ide_task_s. Use out
nice global structures describing the fields in them. This allows to kill
the following defines:
IDE_DATA_OFFSET
IDE_FEATURE_OFFSET
IDE_NSECTOR_OFFSET
IDE_SECTOR_OFFSET
IDE_LCYL_OFFSET
IDE_HCYL_OFFSET
IDE_SELECT_OFFSET
IDE_COMMAND_OFFSET
and many many others.
- Please have a look at the following in pdc4030.c. It couldn't have worked!
This has been fixed in one go with the above change:
memcpy(args.hobRegister, NULL, sizeof(struct hd_drive_hob_hdr));
- Kill the redundant *_REG_HOB definitions. They don't help readability in any
way.

[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 26
- Mark all members of structures, which get jiffies assigned or involved in
ugly timeout calculations with the prefix PADAM_ for easy spotting. This is
Polish for "I'm falling down" or "This brings me to the knees" or slag
comment for "What a sh..". Please be assured that it doesn't sound vulgar.
Please grep for it to see immediately why this nomenclature is justified.
- Rename hwifs_s to ata_channel and eliminate ide_hwifs_t as well as the HWIF
macro. OK this step makes this patch rather big.

[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 27
- Make for less terse error messages in ide-tape.c.
- Replaced all timecomparisions done by hand with all the proper timer_after()
commands.
- Remove the drive niec1 mechanisms alltogether. There are several reasons for
this:
1. The code implementing it is nonintelliglible and therefore propably
broken.
2. If we have to invent somethig about sceduling drive IO, it should be done
on the BIO level.
3. We may in fact interleave with the IO sceduling on the upper layers and
the results of two overlapping signal filters overlapped with each other can
be disasterous to the overall throughput. (In fact they *are* most of the
time.)
4. It was not working if you had intermixed modes on different drives
DMA versus PIO.
5. Our goal is to have a driver which is able to share the badwidth
properly and shouldn't needing this kind of "tuning".
- Remove unused nice2 from disk struct.
- Rename channel member of ata_channel to unit and device to dev to
just prevent wrong interpretations. This prevents constructs like
channel->channel...

[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 28a
- Apply Pavel Macheks suspend resume double resume fix.
- Finally remove the busy field for ata_operations and replace it with
MOD_INC_USE_COUNT and MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT.
- Fix ali15xx chipset support by removing initialization differences,
apparently caused by mislead interpretation of the specs or a mismatch
between the specification and reality.
- Guard calls to ide_set_handler with checks to see whatever the previously
installed IRQ handler already served it's purpose.
- Convert timeout checks on poll_timeout to the time_before() interface.
- Consolidate the two different IRQ handlers for multi mode PIO writes into
one. The problems remain the same but at least now we will only have to
tangle one single problem.

[PATCH] ext2_fill_super breakage
In 2.5.7 there is a thinko in the allocation and initialisation
of the fs-private superblock for ext2. It's passing the wrong type
to the sizeof operator (which of course gives the wrong size)
when allocating and clearing the memory.
Lesson for the day: this is one of the reasons why this idiom:
some_type *p;
p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
...
memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
is preferable to
some_type *p;
p = malloc(sizeof(some_type));
...
memset(p, 0, sizeof(some_type));
I checked the other filesystems. They're OK (but idiomatically
impure). I've added a couple of defensive memsets where
they were missing.

[PATCH] Detect get_block() errors in block_read_full_page()
Originally from Anton Altaparmakov..
This causes errors from get_block() in block_read_full_page() to be
detected and handled properly (by setting page error flag). Without the
patch the page (or parts of the page) will contain random data on
get_block() failing without any form of error being signalled which can
be catastrophic for filesystems using block_read_full_page() for
accessing their metadata. And for normal data it would mean the user
would see random data instead of what they expected.

I can't get UDF write support to work in kernel 2.5.7 or 2.5.7-pre2.

[PATCH] videodev fixups / generic usercopy helper
Originally from Gerd...
I've just noticed that a hole left in the recent changes which should
allow the usb v4l drivers to unregister with open file handles. The
drivers itself handle it just fine, but video_generic_ioctl() will barf
when called on unregistered devices. Oops.
One way to fix this is to expect drivers call the helper function and
pass a pointer for the function doing the actual work, i.e. handle it
this way:
driver_ioctl(inode,file,cmd,userptr)
-> video_usercopy(inode,file,cmd,userptr,func)
copy_from_user(...)
-> func(inode,file,cmd,kernelptr);
copy_to_user(...)
Patch against 2.5.7-pre2 below. It updates videodev.[ch] and adapts
usbvideo.c to show how the driver changes will look like.
Note that this change makes the usercopy helper function a very generic
one, it probably could be used for other drivers to (as long as the API
has sane magic numbers based on _IO*(...) defines) as there is no
video4linux-related stuff in there any more. So we might think of
renaming it an moving it to some more central place (fs/ioctl.c maybe).

[PATCH] Small fix to pci_alloc_consistent()
Original from Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>:
pci_alloc_consistent() is returning zone DMA memory to highmem

e1000 net drvr update 2/13:
Update to low level hardware code. Adds support for the new
82540 device. Replaces e1000_mac.c e1000_mac.h e1000_phy.c and
e1000_phy.h with e1000_hw.c and e1000_hw.c. Changes to the

vmalloc_to_page() should be usable for everybody (see discussion

<p_gortmaker@yahoo.com> (02/04/03 1.369.89.2)
s/extern inline/static inline/ for net drivers:
aironet4500, arlan, e2100, baycom, soundmodem
<p_gortmaker@yahoo.com> (02/04/03 1.369.89.3)
These net drivers init dev->rmem_start/end but do not use these at all
(probably as a result of copying skeleton or similar). Removed this as
a step in the goal to remove rmem_start/end from netdev struct entirely.
<p_gortmaker@yahoo.com> (02/04/03 1.369.89.4)
drivers/net/sb1000.c does not use any ISA memory for I/O but does (ab)use
the rmem_end field to store an I/O port address in. As rmem_end is going
away, this does a s/rmem_end/mem_start/g since mem_start is otherwise
unused in sb1000.
<p_gortmaker@yahoo.com> (02/04/03 1.369.89.5)
The struct netdev rmem_start and rmem_end entries are specific to 8390
based net cards and hence these should be moved into the dev->priv
for these cards.
This patch adds rmem_start and rmem_end to dev->priv in 8390.h, and does:
s/dev->rmem_/ei_local.rmem_/g on all 8390 shared mem drivers.
<p_gortmaker@yahoo.com> (02/04/03 1.369.89.6)
Enable multiple ISA ethernet probes at boot (old behaviour was to quit
once eth0 was found) - it is long since anyone shipped or built kernels
with all the ISA drivers compiled in.
This change will eliminate the need for adding "ether=...." at the boot
prompt for a lot of users who build their own kernels and have multiple
ISA ethercards at standard (i.e. probed) I/O addresses.
Also got sick of counting zeros, so did a struct init cleanup,
i.e. {1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,9} -> {one:1, nine:9}
<p_gortmaker@yahoo.com> (02/04/03 1.369.89.7)
finally, remove rmem_{start,end} from struct net_device.

transfers. Fix mirrors one done ages ago for ISO.
(Original patch by Matt Hughes)

couldn't be unlinked from their completion handlers, and it
also makes OHCI return the correct status code for async
unlink requests (-EINPROGRESS not zero).

[PATCH] simple preemption debug check
This simple check was first suggested by Andrew Morton. Pretty basic -
whines if a task exits with a nonzero preempt_count value.
I put an identical check in the 2.4 preempt-kernel patch and - sure
enough - it was found that XFS essentially disables preemption as it
destroys data structures containing locks without first unlocking. The
SGI folks are working on that.
Anyhow, its a quick and clean solution to debugging potential problems.
Patch is against 2.5.7, please apply.
