      [PATCH] ext2_fill_super breakage · 7048ea4d
      Andrew Morton authored
      In 2.5.7 there is a thinko in the allocation and initialisation
      of the fs-private superblock for ext2.  It's passing the wrong type
      to the sizeof operator (which of course gives the wrong size)
      when allocating and clearing the memory.
      
      Lesson for the day: this is one of the reasons why this idiom:
      
      	some_type *p;
      
      	p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
      	...
      	memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
      
      is preferable to
      
      	some_type *p;
      
      	p = malloc(sizeof(some_type));
      	...
      	memset(p, 0, sizeof(some_type));
      
      I checked the other filesystems.  They're OK (but idiomatically
      impure).  I've added a couple of defensive memsets where
      they were missing.

      [PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 28a · 5be8243b
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Apply Pavel Macheks suspend resume double resume fix.
      
      - Finally remove the busy field for ata_operations and replace it with
         MOD_INC_USE_COUNT and MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT.
      
      - Fix ali15xx chipset support by removing initialization differences,
         apparently caused by mislead interpretation of the specs or a mismatch
         between the specification and reality.
      
      - Guard calls to ide_set_handler with checks to see whatever the previously
         installed IRQ handler already served it's purpose.
      
      - Convert timeout checks on poll_timeout to the time_before() interface.
      
      - Consolidate the two different IRQ handlers for multi mode PIO writes into
         one. The problems remain the same but at least now we will only have to
         tangle one single problem.

      [PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 27 · ff3c2cbb
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Make for less terse error messages in ide-tape.c.
      
      - Replaced all timecomparisions done by hand with all the proper timer_after()
         commands.
      
      - Remove the drive niec1 mechanisms alltogether. There are several reasons for
         this:
      
         1. The code implementing it is nonintelliglible and therefore propably
         broken.
      
         2. If we have to invent somethig about sceduling drive IO, it should be done
         on the BIO level.
      
         3. We may in fact interleave with the IO sceduling on the upper layers and
         the results of two overlapping signal filters overlapped with each other can
         be disasterous to the overall throughput. (In fact they *are* most of the
         time.)
      
         4. It was not working if you had intermixed modes on different drives
         DMA versus PIO.
      
         5. Our goal is to have a driver which is able to share the badwidth
         properly and shouldn't needing this kind of "tuning".
      
      - Remove unused nice2 from disk struct.
      
      - Rename channel member of ata_channel to unit and device to dev to
         just prevent wrong interpretations. This prevents constructs like
         channel->channel...

      [PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 26 · d1372f76
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Mark all members of structures, which get jiffies assigned or involved in
         ugly timeout calculations with the prefix PADAM_  for easy spotting. This is
         Polish for "I'm falling down" or "This brings me to the knees" or slag
         comment for "What a sh..". Please be assured that it doesn't sound vulgar.
      
         Please grep for it to see immediately why this nomenclature is justified.
      
      - Rename hwifs_s to ata_channel and eliminate ide_hwifs_t as well as the HWIF
         macro. OK this step makes this patch rather big.

      [PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 25 · e07a6a66
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Replace the task_io_reg_t with the simple u8. There is no need to obfuscate
         the code more then necessary.
      
      - kill some unnecessary type definitions out from hdreg.h.
      
      - Add proper attributes to register files in hdreg.h.
      
      - Don't use raw arrays for tfRegister and hobRegister in ide_task_s.  Use out
         nice global structures describing the fields in them.  This allows to kill
         the following defines:
      
           IDE_DATA_OFFSET
           IDE_FEATURE_OFFSET
           IDE_NSECTOR_OFFSET
           IDE_SECTOR_OFFSET
           IDE_LCYL_OFFSET
           IDE_HCYL_OFFSET
           IDE_SELECT_OFFSET
           IDE_COMMAND_OFFSET
      
         and many many others.
      
      - Please have a look at the following in pdc4030.c. It couldn't have worked!
         This has been fixed in one go with the above change:
      
         memcpy(args.hobRegister, NULL, sizeof(struct hd_drive_hob_hdr));
      
      - Kill the redundant *_REG_HOB definitions. They don't help readability in any
         way.

      [PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 24 · 4772b236
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Push BAD_DMA_DRIVE and GOOD_DMA_DRIVE to the ide-pmac.c file, since this is
         the only place where those get used.
      
      - Kill unused fields from the ide_task_s structure. In esp. we pass a task
         attached to a request and not the other way around!
      
      - Rename hwif field to channel in struct ide_drive_s.
      
      - Move the request queue to the level where proper serialization has to happen
         anyway - the channel structure.

      [PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 23 · 869cc357
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Support for additional Promise controller id's (PDC20276).
      
      - Remove code duplication between do_rw_taskfile and do_taskfile.
         This will evolve into a more reasonable ata_command() function
         finally. The ata_taskfile function has far too many arguments, but
         I favour this over having two different code paths for getting
         actual data to the drive.

      SunHME driver updates: · f9a5f2e5
      David S. Miller authored
      - Fix SMP locking throughout
      - Deal with hw bug involving lost writes to rxring base address
      - Disable Never Give Up mode on transmitter, set TX attempts
        limit to 16 (the default).  This deals with a possible hang
        when the TX deadlocks with the PHY when a jabber occurs.
      - Delete some dead code.

      - timeouts for expectations
      - full graph of connection relations, even after expectation confirmed
      - various changes in the API towards conntrack and NAT helper

      - NAT mangling of TCP SACK in case of sequence number alteration
        (no need to delete SACKPERM anymore, I hope Alexey is happy now)
