      [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] driver model updates (1/5) · e03a933d
      Patrick Mochel authored
      Patch 1: Make device_driver_init() an initcall.
      It declares it as subsys_initcall and removes the explicit call from
      init/main.c::do_basic_setup().

      [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.

      [PATCH] 2.5.3-pre6: mode · bcded162
      Tim Waugh authored
      This patch paves the way for a new driver which needs the
      functionality.  Now parport_daisy_select actually _uses_ its mode
      parameter.
      
      	* drivers/parport/daisy.c: Make parport_daisy_select aware of
      	its 'mode' parameter.

      I think I told you to revert this bit from 2.5.3, but here
      it is in patch form anyways.  Whoever made this change didn't
      read the driver, and well... didn't even build test it either :-)
