      [PATCH] SCSI tape door lock and reset fixes · 83391bef
      Kai Mäkisara authored
      - switch to using scsi_ioctl() for drive door locking and unlocking
        instead of private code
      - use a driver internal flag to save the reset status until tape is
        positioned into known location
      - set driver state properly for all partitions after reset
      - change put_device() to driver_unregister() in st_detach()
      - C99 initializer changes (from Art Haas)

      [PATCH] futex-2.5.42-A2 · 5d6af116
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This is my current futex patchset against BK-curr.  It mostly includes
      must-have crash/correctness fixes from Martin Wirth, tested and reworked
      somewhat by myself:
      
       - crash fix: futex_close did not detach from the vcache. Detach cleanups.
         (Martin Wirth)
      
       - memory leak fix: forgotten put_page() in a rare path in __pin_page().
         (Martin Wirth)
      
       - crash fix: do not do any quickcheck in unqueue_me(). (Martin, me)
      
       - correctness fix: the fastpath in __pin_page() now handles reserved
         pages the same way get_user_pages() does. (Martin Wirth)
      
       - queueing improvement: __attach_vcache() now uses list_add_tail() to
         avoid the reversal of the futex queue if a COW happens. (Martin Wirth)
      
       - simplified alignment check in sys_futex. (Martin Wirth)
      
       - comment fix: make it clear how the vcache hash quickcheck works. (me)

      [PATCH] oprofile - timer hook · 120790b8
      John Levon authored
      This implements a simple hook into the profiling timer for x86 so that
      non-perfctr machines can still use oprofile.  This has proven useful for
      laptops and the like.
      
      It also reduces header dependencies a bit by centralising readprofile
      code

      [PATCH] oprofile - dcookies · 7e1aee05
      John Levon authored
      This implements the persistent path-to-dcookies mapping, and adds a
      system call for the user-space profiler to look up the profile data, so
      it can tag profiles to specific binaries.

      make sure no stale task_struct*'s are ever used by the main oprofile
      core mechanism.  If disabled, it compiles to nothing.

      [PATCH] bunch of ->open() killed. · dec3735e
      Alexander Viro authored
      Quite a few drivers don't need ->open() anymore - all it did was checking
      that minor is good (== gendisk exists).  That is handled by generic code
      now...

      [PATCH] bdev->bd_disk introduced · 5682bcc6
      Alexander Viro authored
      There we go - now we can put a reference to gendisk into block_device.  Which
      we do in do_open().  Most of the callers of get_gendisk() are simply using
      bdev->bd_disk now (and most of the put_disk() calls introduced on previous
      step disappear).  We also put that pointer into struct request - ->rq_disk.
      That allows to get rid of disk_index() kludges in md.c (we simply count
      relevant IO in the struct gendisk fields) and kill the export of get_gendisk().
      	Notice that by now we can move _all_ IO counters into gendisk.  That
      will kill a bunch of per-major arrays and more importantly, allow to merge
      sard in clean way.  FWIW, we probably could show them as disk/partitions
      attributes in driverfs...

      [PATCH] refcounts for gendisks · 68c16870
      Alexander Viro authored
      Finally.  We use disk->dev.refcount as a gendisk refcount.  New helper -
      get_disk(): atomic_inc on refcount.  get_gendisk() does it on return,
      callers of get_gendisk() do put_disk() when they are done.

      [PATCH] preparation to use of driverfs refcounts, part 2 - disk · b288f6ad
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* disk->disk_dev is initialized in alloc_disk(), device_add()'d in
      	  add_disk(), device_del()'d in unregister_disk() and device_put() in
      	  put_disk().
      	* devices of partitions are made its children.
      	* attributes of disk one: dev (dev_t of the thing), range (number of
      	  minors) and size (in sectors).
      	* attributes of partition ones: dev (ditto), start (in sectors) and
      	  size (in sectors).
      	* disk devices are put on a new bus - "block"
      	* if caller of add_disk() had set disk->driverfs_dev, we set symlinks:
      	  "device" from disk to underlying device and "block" from underlying
      	  device to disk.
      	* ->release() of disk_dev frees disk and disk->part.
      	At that point we have sane driverfs subtree for each gendisk and
      refcount of its root (disk->disk_dev) can act as gendisk refcount.

      [PATCH] preparation to use of driverfs refcounts, part 1 - partitions · afae25b7
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* update_partition() split into add_partition() and delete_partition().
      	* all updating of ->part[] is switched to these two (including initial
      filling/final cleaning).
      	* per-partition devices are allocated on-demand and never reused.
      We allocate struct device in add_partition() and put reference to it into
      hd_struct.  ->release() for that struct device frees it.  delete_partition()
      removes reference from hd_struct and does put_device() on it.  Basically,
      we get rid of problems with reused struct device by never reusing them...
      	At that point devices for partitions are nice and sane.

      	new driverfs helpers - device_initialize/device_add and device_del.
      The latter is device_unregister() sans the final put_device().  The former
      is splitup of device_register() into initialization and insertion into tree.

      [PATCH] remove kiobufs · 2dcb8ff9
      Andrew Morton authored
      This patch from Christoph Hellwig removes the kiobuf/kiovec
      infrastructure.
      
      This affects three subsystems:
      
      video-buf.c:
      
         This patch includes an earlier diff from Gerd which converts
          video-buf.c to use get_user_pages() directly.
      
         Gerd has acked this patch.
      
      LVM1:
      
         Is now even more broken.
      
      drivers/mtd/devices/blkmtd.c:
      
         blkmtd is broken by this change.  I contacted Simon Evans, who
         said "I had done a rewrite of blkmtd anyway and just need to convert
         it to BIO.  Feel free to break it in the 2.5 tree, it will force me
         to finish my code."
      
      Neither EVMS nor LVM2 use kiobufs.  The only remaining breakage
      of which I am aware is a proprietary MPEG2 streaming module.  It
      could use get_user_pages().

      - Returns EINVAL if the caller specified both MS_SYNC and MS_ASYNC

                The value of flags is invalid.
