      Staging: ath6kl: remove empty files that mess with 'distclean' · 557a3dac
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      These two .h files would get removed from the tree when doing
      	make distclean
      
      It turns out they are not needed at all, so just delete them which fixes
      people's git trees when doing development.

      floppy: fix another use-after-free · d017bf6b
      Vivek Goyal authored
      While scanning the floopy code due to c093ee4f ("floppy: fix
      use-after-free in module load failure path"), I found one more instance
      of trying to access disk->queue pointer after doing put_disk() on
      gendisk.  For some reason , floppy moule still loads/unloads fine.  The
      object is probably still around with right pointer values.
      
       o There seems to be one more instance of trying to cleanup the request
         queue after we have called put_disk() on associated gendisk.
      
       o This fix is more out of code inspection.  Even without this fix for
         some reason I am able to load/unload floppy module without any
         issues.
      
       o Floppy module loads/unloads fine after the fix.

      TTY: move .gitignore from drivers/char/ to drivers/tty/vt/ · 1db01135
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      The autogenerated files (consolemap_deftbl.c and defkeymap.c) need to
      be ignored by git, so move the .gitignore file that was doing it to the
      properly location now that the files have moved as well.

      ipw2x00: remove the right /proc/net entry · 151f52f0
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 27ae60f8 ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where
      appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix
      up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/
      directory.
      
      For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained
      "ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts
      and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead.  Which made it all
      fail badly.
      
      For example, on module unload as reported by Randy:
      
        WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e()
        name 'libipw'
      
      because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously
      doesn't even exist.
      
      Clean it all up to use DRV_PROCNAME for the actual /proc directory name.
