      [PATCH] ide resync · e04b2579
      Alan Cox authored
      Ok this first piece eliminates some of the use of ide_ioreg_t, which
      actually only works as a ulong anyway. Its a dysfunctional abstraction.
      
      We also need the ide pci stuff if we have IDE PCI not if we have PCI but
      only legacy mode IDE support

      [PATCH] Provide a 'safe-mode' for soft raid. · 063e9f83
      Neil Brown authored
      When a raid1 or raid5 array is in 'safe-mode', then the array
      is marked clean whenever there are no outstanding write requests,
      and is marked dirty again before allowing any write request to
      proceed.
      
      This means than an unclean shutdown while no write activity is happening
      will NOT cause a resync to be required.  However it does mean extra
      updates to the superblock.
      
      Currently safe-mode is turned on by sending SIGKILL to the raid thread
      as would happen at a normal shutdown.  This should mean that the
      reboot notifier is no longer needed.
      
      After looking more at performance issues I may make safemode be on
      all the time.  I will almost certainly make it on when RAID5 is degraded
      as an unclean shutdown of a degraded RAID5 means data loss.

      [PATCH] Make kNFSd pre/post_[acm]time use struct timespec · 833221da
      Neil Brown authored
      From Trond:
      
        When the nanosecond resolution on [acm]time was introduced to 2.5.x,
      the knfsd GETATTR responses were converted to make use of the
      nanosecond field, but the pre/post WCC attributes were not. This will
      lead to a lot of unnecessary cache invalidations on the clients.
      
      The following trivial patch should fix up knfsd so that it stores and
      encodes the full 'struct timespec' in both pre and post attribute
      fields.

      [PATCH] Fix problem where knfsd wouldn't release filesystem on unexport. · 696c47a2
      Neil Brown authored
      Problem was that the cache was being updated inplace, rather
      than swapping in a new entry, so old filesystem pointers
      were overwritten without being released.

      [PATCH] Fix handling of error code in NFSv4 replies · 6edc72f4
      Neil Brown authored
      As nfsv4 does some reply encoding while processing
      requests, the code which tries to put the overall status
      at the head of the reply fails.
      
      With this patch, we take the address for the overall
      status very early so NFSv4's encoding wont confuse us.

      [PATCH] Keep track of which page is the 'tail' of an NFSd reply · 467cb27b
      Neil Brown authored
      NFS replies can have a 'tail' after a 'data' component
      (for read, readlink, readdir).
      
      For nfsv2 and v3 this tail is in the same page as the head.
      For nfsv4, this tail is in a separate page.
      
      We need to keep track of which page so that it right one
      gets sent.  This patch does that.

      [PATCH] Bounds checking for NFSv3 readdirplus · 2aeb0311
      Neil Brown authored
      From Ted Phelps <phelps@dstc.edu.au>
      
      The NFSv3 readdirplus path doesn't check to see if maxcount is less
      than the size of a page before it fills it up, possibly overwriting
      random bits of memory.  At least, it makes my Solaris NFSv3 client
      work.
      
      The attached patch, against 2.5.58, adds this check in a way which is
      consistent with the way readdir does under both NFSv2 andNFSv3.

      [PATCH] EISA/sysfs updates · d61c31bb
      Marc Zyngier authored
      This is an update to the EISA/sysfs code :
      
       - Separate bus root code from generic code.
       - Add driver for PCI/EISA bridge.
       - Hacked parisc eisa driver so it can act as a root device.
       - Add driver for so-called virtual root (for bridge-less systems).
       - Allow multiple roots.
       - Moved quirk_eisa_bridge from alpha to generic code, since
         the EISA code needs it now (on x86, for example...).
       - 3c59x :
         Prevent driver from returning ENODEV in case it has registered with
         the EISA framework, but no device has been found yet (it happends
         when the driver is built into the kernel, and the EISA bus root has
         not been discovered yet).
      
      It's been discussed on lkml, and all suggestions (mainly from Ivan
      Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>) have been taken into account.

      JFS: Fix jfs_sync_fs · 5d888402
      Dave Kleikamp authored
      jfs_sync_fs was implemented using the same code as the unmount code to flush
      the journal and wait for the journal to quiesce.  Since jfs_sync_fs may  be
      called while the volume is under heavy use, we can end up waiting
      indefinately.  Code in jfs_flush_journal meant to detect a hang at unmount
      time may be triggered in this case causing a trap.  This patch changes
      jfs_sync_fs to only wait until the most recent transaction has been
      commited to disk, rather than waiting until the commit queue is empty.

      [ARM] Update signal handling for ARM. · 6a8061e8
      Russell King authored
      Update the ARM signal handling to use the generic
      get_signal_to_deliver() implementation.  There is a caveat though -
      ARM has no hardware support for single stepping, and thus needs the
      kernel to help provide this.
      
      We introduce a new ptrace flag for this, PT_SINGLESTEP, which
      indicates to architecture specific code that it should take extra
      actions in the signal handler to set and/or clear breakpoints as
      appropriate.
