Update comment for the 2.6.6-rc1 conversion from page->list and address_space->{clean,dirty,locked}_pages to radix tree tagging and ->lru. I've mostly avoided to mention page lists (at least I've shortened the comment).

We have no options which the user can set in the Makefile. Only the EXTRAVERSION, which is also useful in place of the "backup modules" suggestion. We don't have configuration options in the top Makefile.

We currently unregister the config-osm driver if initialization of the legacy ioctl() handlers failed but still return success. We should be returning -EBUSY in this case.

zImage.vmode was recently added. It's a version of zImage in which the ELF note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual mode instance of OF instead of real mode. This allows it to work with Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command line. (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes section specifies the mode at all). However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This fixes it.

The new version of the flattened device tree passes the boot cpuid in the header instead of via a linux,boot-cpu property. We need to update the in kernel OF parsing code to do this, otherwise machines with a non zero boot cpuid fail to come up.

Some RS64 systems (such as F80) have non-python host bridges with EADS. However, they have two EADS with 4 buses each under them, so the old logic that assumed no more than 7 busses per PHB failed miserably. Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few machines that broke from the previous logic. Also, to be a bit smarter at detecting the need for a PHB-level IOMMU table by checking for the presence of an ISA bus. Only PHBs with ISA bridges should need the PHB-level table.

ia64's sched_clock() accesses per-cpu data which isn't set up at boot time. Hence ia64 cannot use printk timestamping, because printk() will crash in sched_clock(). So make printk() use printk_clock(), defaulting to sched_clock(), overrideable by the architecture via attribute(weak).

When the main thread of a thread group has done pthread_exit() and died, the other threads are still happily running, but will not be visible under /proc because their leader is no longer accessible.

My code to set up the PCI tree from the Open Firmware device tree was setting IORESOURCE_* flags on the resources for the devices, but not the PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_* flags. This meant that some drivers misbehaved, and /proc/pci showed the wrong types for the resources. This fixes it.

From: Christopher Zimmermann <madroach@zakweb.de> This patch enables SBus support for the cs4231 sound driver. It is tested on an Ultra2. Capture and playback both work. I experienced lags and crashes using certain threaded players like ogg123 and mp3blaster, while the former is lagging far more. This behavior may be specific to SMP systems. It is reproducable using the dummy sound card driver. Sox works flawlessly. Setting up the calculation of ptr in snd_cs4231_playback_pointer was a bit strange. I got it to work by not incrementing the [pc]_periods_sent counter when starting DMA the first time in cs4231_dma_trigger. Therefore this dummy thing.

Patch from Joel Sing to fix the default congestion control algorithm for incoming connections. If a new congestion control handler is added (via module), it should become the default for new connections. Instead, the incoming connections use reno. The cause is incorrect initialisation causes the tcp_init_congestion_control() function to return after the initial if test fails.

The convention is that longer addresses will simply extend the hardeware address byte arrays at the end of sockaddr_ll and packet_mreq. In making this change a small information leak was also closed. The code only initializes the hardware address bytes that are used, but all of struct sockaddr_ll was copied to userspace. Now we just copy sockaddr_ll to the last byte of the hardware address used. For error checking larger structures than our internal maximums continue to be allowed but an error is signaled if we can not fit the hardware address into our internal structure.

ipoib_mcast_restart_task() is always called from within the single-threaded IPoIB workqueue, so flushing the workqueue from within the function can lead to a recursion overflow. But since we're running in a single-threaded workqueue, we're already synchronized against other items in the workqueue, so just get rid of the flush in ipoib_mcast_restart_task().

Because we use byte loads/stores to cons up the value in and out of registers, we can't expect the ASI endianness setting to take care of this for us. So do it by hand. This case is triggered by drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c in the ataid_complete() function where it goes: /* word 100: number lba48 sectors */ ssize = le64_to_cpup((__le64 *) &id[100<<1]); This &id[100<<1] address is 4 byte, rather than 8 byte aligned, thus triggering the unaligned exception.

The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS. This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that are so marked. Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in tcp_fragment(). This is exactly what the following patch does. We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking if they exist.
