- Add the library function read_cache_pages(), which is used in a similar fashion to the single page 'read_cache_page()'. It hides the details of the LRU cache etc. from a filesystem that wants to to populate an address space with a list of pages. - Fix NFS so that readahead uses the ->readpages() interface. Means that we can immediately schedule an RPC call in order to complete the I/O, rather than relying on somebody later triggering it by calling lock_page() (and hence sync_page()). The sync_page() method is race-prone, since the waiting page may try to call it before we've finished initializing the 'struct nfs_page'. - Clear out nfs_sync_page(), the nfs_inode->read list, and friends. When the I/O completion gets scheduled in ->readpage(), ->readpages(), they have no reason to exist.

The following patch makes the ->readpages() address_space_operation take a struct file argument just like ->readpage().

This is the second iteration of thread-aware coredumps. Changes: - Ulrich Drepper has reviewed the data structures and checked actual coredumps via readelf - everything looks fine and according to the spec. - a serious bug has been fixed in the thread-state dumping code - it was still based on the 2.4 assumption that the task struct points to the kernel stack - it's task->thread_info in 2.5. This bug caused bogus register info to be filled in for threads. - properly wait for all threads that share the same MM to serialize with the coredumping thread. This is CLONE_VM based, not tied to CLONE_THREAD and/or signal semantics, ie. old-style (or different-style) threaded apps will be properly stopped as well. The locking might look a bit complex, but i wanted to keep the __exit_mm() overhead as low as possible. It's not quite trivial to get these bits right, because 'sharing the MM' is detached from signals semantics, so we cannot rely on broadcast-kill catching all threads. So zap_threads() iterates through every thread and zaps those which were left out. (There's a minimal race left in where a newly forked child might escape the attention of zap_threads() - this race is fixed by the OOM fixes in the mmap-speedup patch.) - fill_psinfo() is now called with the thread group leader, for the coredump to get 'process' state. - initialize the elf_thread_status structure with zeroes. the IA64 ELF bits are not included, yet, to reduce complexity of the patch. The patch has been tested on x86 UP and SMP.

This brings several PCMCIA network drivers into sync with 2.4 and the pcmcia-cs package. The axnet_cs driver gets a major cleanup.

In order to conserve CPU, the read(2) syscall would schedule_timeout unconditionally. This also crippled speed, and was a bad design decision. This cset merges the updated read(2) logic of the sister driver amd768_rng from Alan, which schedules only when it needs to. On my test system, by one microbenmark, read(2) output jumped from 0.08 kbit/s to "what Intel expects" of 20 kbit/s. End users may notice a significant decrease in idle time after this change (and a correspondingly large increase in /dev/hwrng user speed), if /dev/hwrng is used to its maximum capacity.

Dereferencing hcd.pdev will always oops with SA-1111. It has to be treated as a cookie, not a pointer in any common OHCI HCD code. Apparently we need a clean way to go from struct device * to struct ohci_hcd *. I added dev_to_ohci that does the obvious thing and added separate implementations for PCI and SA-1111. Two implementations is ugly but I didn't think it wise (for me) to hack on the PCI/driverfs interface, so I just cut & paste the old code. Two patches. The first is a diff from linux-2.5.44 and linux-2.5.44-rmk1. It is from rmk and adds a struct device pointer to ohci_hcd. The second depends on the first and contains my changes to clean up to the pdev oops problems. (Some fuzz may occur as I have ohci-1024 applied.) With these changes, SA111 OHCI-HC/HCD is showing some signs of life on linux-2.5.44-rmk1. usb-storage is currentl blowing chunks, but I think I saw some patches go by against 2.5.44 that I haven't yet tried.

- Add LDFLAGS_BLOB definitions - Tweak kernel_thread for better code - Fix vmlinux-armv.lds.in to prevent ld complaining about the architecture private flags. (I'm not certain that the last item isn't a hole in some bug fix in ld - this fix appears to work with every binutils I've found thus far. However, if this suspected bug gets fixed, we're going to have to rethink how we combine binary objects into ELF objects.)

2.5.46 appears to require drivers/scsi/scsi.h to be included before drivers/scsi/hosts.h. Make this happen in the Acorn SCSI drivers.

Ahm. No. It must be i_version = 1 Otherwise there is a trivial bug: mkdir("dir"); <force the directory out of dcache> dir = open("dir"); lseek(dir,1,SEEK_SET); readdir(); lseek sets f_version to 0, and readdir() trusts f_pos, because i_version is 0, too. This applies to all filesystems. The ext2 patch already sets i_version to 1.

Teach DECLARE_WORK about __TIMER_INITIALIZER. So all statically initialised workqueues have valid timers. eg: drivers/char/random.c:batch_work.

usb-midi requires SOUND, otherwise, when built in-kernel but soundcore is modular, usb-midi can't resolve some sound interfaces.

This patch switches from using usb_stor_bulk_msg() to usb_stor_bulk_transfer_buf(), which includes a great deal more logic. This allows for elimination of all sorts of duplicate code (clearing STALLs, etc.). This also eliminates the (now) redundant functions from the ISD-200 driver.

This patch adds tests for an aborted command to higher-level functions. This allows faster exit from a couple of paths and will allow code consolidation in the lower-level transport functions.
