      [PATCH] user-vm-unlock-2.5.31-A2 · 456f17cd
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This implements CLONE_VM_RELEASE, which lets the child release the 'user
      VM' at mm_release() time.

      Ingo Molnar authored
      the attached patch implements the per-CPU thread-structure cache to do
      detached exit, if the parent does not want to be notified of child exit
      via a signal.

      [PATCH] CLONE_SETTLS, CLONE_SETTID, 2.5.31-BK · 61afdfc9
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This adds two new clone() flags:
      
          CLONE_SETTLS => if present then the third clone() syscall parameter
                          is the new TLS.
      
          CLONE_SETTID => if present then the child TID is written to the
                          address specified by the fourth clone() parameter.
      
      the new parameters are handled in a safe way, clone() returns -EFAULT or
      -EINVAL if there's some problem with them.

      [PATCH] embarrassing 2.5.31 small bug fix for blkdev_reread_part() · 192b4702
      Badari Pulavarty authored
      Here is a trivial bug fix for blkdev_reread_part() in 2.5.31.
      Without this fix,  "fdisk" hangs with following messages:
      
      	Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
      
      	WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16:
      			Device or resource busy.
      	The kernel still uses the old table.
      	The new table will be used at the next reboot.

      [PATCH] HCDs support new DMA APIs (part 2 of 2) · 17f736b6
      David Brownell authored
      - teaches the shared "hcd" code to set urb->*_dma whenever the device
        driver didn't, by creating singleshot mappings.

      [PATCH] HCDs support new DMA APIs (part 1 of 2) · f7503d44
      David Brownell authored
      -  teaches the hardware-specific code to
         use urb->*_dma instead of creating mappings.
         (And tells ohci-sa1111 to init its buffer pools.)
         EHCI and UHCI also eliminated duplicated state;
         all the HCDs are now a smidgeon smaller.
      
      Sanity checked by enumerating, including through
      a hub, and using a USB Ethernet adapter, with each
      of the three host controllers.
      
      Worth noting:  this removes pci_dma_sync_single()
      calls from UHCI.  On x86 (and some others) that's
      a NOP, but for UHCI on other platforms (rare except
      maybe on IA64, as I understand) this anticipates
      the upcoming patch to remove interrupt automagic.
      (I'll likely submit that after a Linus release that
      catches up to your USB tree. :)

      [PATCH] Network Options and Network Devices together · dd9831ef
      Randy Dunlap authored
      This patch to 2.5.31 pushes "Networking options" and
      "Network device support" together for all architectures
      that have them.
      
      They shouldn't be split apart by Telephony, I2O,
      Fusion, etc.

      [PATCH] DECLARE_PER_CPU/DEFINE_PER_CPU patch · a2314817
      Rusty Russell authored
      This old __per_cpu_data define wasn't enough if an arch wants to
      use the gcc __thread prefix (thread local storage), which needs to
      go *before* the type in the definition.  So we have to go for a
      DECLARE macro, and while we're there, separate DECLARE and DEFINE,
      as definitions of per-cpu data cannot live in modules.  This also
      means that accidental direct references to per-cpu variables will
      be caught at compile time.

      [PATCH] get_cpu_var patch · 466e44bb
      Rusty Russell authored
      This makes introduces get_cpu_var()/put_cpu_var() which gets a
      per-cpu variable and disables preemption, and renames the (unsafe
      under preemption) "this_cpu()" macro to __get_cpu_var().  It also
      deletes the redundant definitions in linux/smp.h.

      [PATCH] A generic RTC driver [3/3] · d7278da5
      Tom Rini authored
      This is part 3 of 3 of the genrtc patches.  This is my own slight bit
      of work, as well as some work by Randolph Chung. This changes
      set_rtc_time(struct *rtc_time) to return an int instead of void.
      This was done so that the arch-specific code here could do additional
      checks on the time and return an error if needed. This then introduces
      include/asm-generic/rtc.h, include/asm-i386/rtc.h and
      include/asm-alpha/rtc.h.  include/asm-generic/rtc.h contains the
      get_rtc_time and set_rtc_time logic that is in drivers/char/rtc.c and
      has been tested on SMP i386.  This also modifies include/asm-ppc/rtc.h
      to return -ENODEV if no rtc hardware is present.
      
      Additionally, Dave Jones pointed out to me a place where we might not be
      safe when jiffies wraps, so this switches that to time_after().
      
      From Randolph Chung, support for a 64bit kernel and a 32bit userland.

      [PATCH] A generic RTC driver [1/3] · a7734ead
      Tom Rini authored
      This is the current version of the genrtc driver from the m68k
      community.  This is slightly different than the version I have sent
      previously in that it has been switched to C99-style initializers,
      which was done in the current m68k CVS tree by Geert Uytterhoeven, and
      the needed changes to select/compile it in general.  I had previously
      asked the m68k community if anyone objected to this being submitted by me,
      and I got Richard Zidlicky's (who's at the top of the file) approval, as
      well as Geert Uytterhoeven's approval.

      [PATCH] i_sem-less generic_file_write for O_DIRECT & XFS · 8c0b388a
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      There are a number of places where generic_file_write could be used if
      it didn't take i_sem by itself or where it doesn't need it:
      
      (1)	XFS needs to do some preparation in it's write file operation
      	(most notably taking it's own per-inode locks), after taking
      	i_sem, but before calling the guts of generic_file_write.
      (2)	blockdevices are happy with parralel get_block() operations,
      	and there is nothing i_sem could protect.
      
      This patch introduces a generic_file_write_nolock and makes the good old
      generic_file_write a wrapper around.  The block device code is switched
      over to it.

      [PATCH] PATCH - RPC/TCP 4 of 4 - Handle short read when reading RPC/TCP packet length · dfc3997c
      Neil Brown authored
      The code already copes with the possibility of having
      read some of the 4byte length but not all, but can never
      get into that situation.  We just need to add a 'return'
      for the case where read got some data but not enough.
      Either 0 or -EAGAIN could be returned, they both have the
      same effect.
