      [PATCH] add lseek changes to fs porting guide · bcaab0f9
      Robert Love authored
      Al updated Documentation/filesystems/porting with 2.5 changes but there
      is no mention of lseek.  The following patch, against 2.5.5, adds lseek
      to the list of functions that no longer are called with the BKL.

      [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.

      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.
