      [PATCH] NFS lookup code rewrite w/o open(".") fix... · 0d86f2ec
      Trond Myklebust authored
        This is a resend of the NFS lookup code rewrite, but with the open(".")
      VFS fix removed. (I'll resend the 'uses d_revalidate()' version
      separately after a suitable delay to allow for comments.)
      
        Issues fixed by this patch:
      
       - Use the directory mtime in order to give us a hint when we should
         check for namespace changes.
      
       - Add support for the 'nocto' flag, in order to turn off the strict
         attribute cache revalidation on file open().
      
       - Simplify inode lookup. Don't check the 'fsid' field (which appears
         to be buggy in too many servers in order to be reliable). Instead
         we only rely on the inode number (a.k.a. 'fileid') and the
         (supposedly unique) filehandle.

          This is to fix a case where stale NFS handles are correctly detected as
          stale, but inodes assotiated with them are still valid and present in cache,
          hence there is no way to deal with files, these handles are attached to.

      [PATCH] driver model updates (5/5) · 32d57b6c
      Patrick Mochel authored
      Remove struct iobus.
      
      There is a lot of duplication between struct device and struct iobus, both
      in their members and the code in their interfaces. Waxing struct iobus
      removes this duplication and makes things a bit simpler.

      [PATCH] driver model updates (4/5) · 99f6d9fd
      Patrick Mochel authored
      Patch 4: Add some default files for PCI devices.
      
      This adds two files for PCI devices: 'irq' and 'resources'. They display
      just those things and currently do nothing on write. These are the
      examples for other subsystems to use for creating files ('Hey, look how
      simple it is!')

      [PATCH] driver model updates (3/5) · 1838d743
      Patrick Mochel authored
      Patch 3: Make default callbacks simpler.
      
      I want to move as much to a 1 file/1 value model as possible. I haven't
      come up with a clean way to enforce it except via social pressure.
      
      This patch is a step in that direction. It:
      
      - Reduces the output of 'power' to just the decimal state of the device
      - Adds a 'name' file which exports just the device name
      - Reduces the 'status' file to just export the bus ID. (This will change,
        since the bus ID is obvious based on what directory you're in, but it's
        another patch at another time)

      [PATCH] nbd in 2.5.3 does not work, and can cause severe damage when read-write · 47a10c07
      Petr Vandrovec authored
      Hi Linus,
          I've got strange idea and tried to build diskless machine around
      2.5.3... Besides problem with segfaulting crc32 (it is initialized after
      net/ipv4/ipconfig.c due to lib/lib.a being a library... I had to hardcode
      lib/crc32.o before --start-group in main Makefile, but it is another
      story) there is bad problem with NBD caused by BIO changes:
      
      (1) request flags were immediately put into on-wire request format.
          In the past, we had 0=READ, !0=WRITE. Now only REQ_RW bit determines
          direction. As nbd-server from nbd distribution package treats any
          non-zero value as write, it performs writes instead of read. Fortunately
          it will die due to other consistency checks on incoming request, but...
      
      (2) nbd servers handle only up to 10240 byte requests. So setting max_sectors
          to 20 is needed, as otherwise nbd server commits suicide. Maximum request size
          should be handshaked during nbd initialization, but currently just use
          hardwired 20 sectors, so it will behave like it did in the past.
