      [PATCH] proper lseek locking in ALSA, take 3 · 59b52d25
      Robert Love authored
      The attached patch implements proper locking in ALSA lseek methods.
      Note ALSA has 3 lseek implementations, but only:
      
      	sound/core/info.c :: snd_info_entry_llseek()
      
      requires locking.  I wrapped the function in the BKL.  According to
      Jaroslav Kysela the gus_mem_proc method is only called from above.  The
      third lseek, in hwdep.c, clearly doesn't need locking.  Without this
      patch, the above lseek is not safe.

      This patch add the validity check of 2 values (fats, reserved). These

      Dario Ballabio authored
      Here enclosed patch for eata.c, eata.h, u14-34f.c, u14-34f.h
      to be applied to lk-2.5.5.
      
      eata.c:
             + Remove any reference to virt_to_bus().
             + Fix pio hang while detecting multiple HBAs.
             + Fixed a board detection bug: in a system with
               multiple ISA/EISA boards, all but the first one
                were erroneously detected as PCI.
      
      u14-34f.c:
             + Remove any reference to virt_to_bus().
             + Fix pio hang while detecting multiple HBAs.

      [PATCH] 2.5 dropping unneded lock precense check. · 195fd29f
      Hans Reiser authored
      After BKL was moved from the VFS into the filesystem's methods in the lookup
      call, we do not need to check BKL is actually held (we know it is not).
      This patch patch removes unneeded lock_depth check.
      Without this patch reiserfs cannot be used on SMP.

      [PATCH] imm.c · 3c45fbb3
      Andries E. Brouwer authored
      2.5.5 Oopses at boot time with a disk in a zipdrive.
      With this patch all is fine. I have not read the
      patch, certainly not checked it for correctness,
      just observed that it works for me.
      I think the author is Rich Baum.

      [PATCH] LVM fixes. · 24f27632
      Dave Jones authored
      Numerous LVM fixes & cleanups.
      Gets things compiling again, and allegedly works according to feedback.
      Mostly from Anders in absence of any maintainence by LVM people.
      
      There are two critical problems with lvm in 2.5.2-pre11 (and earlier).
      * ioctls on the chardev allocates a >4k lv_t on stack. if the ioctl is
      LV_CREATE, LV_EXTEND, LV_REDUCE or LV_RENAME data is copied into this
      and the task_struct will most certainly be corrupted.
      * sizeof(lv_t) differs between user and kernelspace. The userspace version
      of the lv_t structure is much smaller than the kernelspace version. This
      leads to corruption of memory in the userspace application when an lv_t is
      copied from kernelspace to userspace, as in "vgdisplay -v"
      
      The following patch addresses these two issues. It puts the user-space
      version of the lv_t into a substructure of the kernelspace version. When
      communicating to userspace just the userlv_t part is used. This avoids the
      allocation of the lv_t on the stack by allocation just a userlv_t instead.

      [PATCH] 2.5.5-pre1 IDE cleanup 9 · 69f0d4b0
      Martin Dalecki authored
      1.  Kill the ide-probe-mod by merging it with ide-mod. There is *really*
          no reaons for having this stuff split up into two different
          modules unless you wan't to create artificial module dependancies
          and waste space of page boundaries during memmory allocation for the
          modules
      
      2.  Kill the ide_module_t - which is unnecessary and presents a
          "reimplementation" of module handling inside the ide driver.  This
          is achieved by attaching the initialization routine ot the
          ide_driver_t, which will be gone next time, since there is no sane
          reason apparently, which this couldn't be done during the
          module-generic initialization of the corresponding driver module.
      
      3.  Kill unnecessary tagging of "subdriver" with IDE_SUBDRIVER_VERSION -
          we have plenty of other mechanisms for module consistency checking.
          And anyway the ide code didn't any consistence checks on this value
          at all.
      
      NOTE: The ide_(un)register_module() functions will be killed in next round.
