These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not flood the syslog with them. The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a valid input to store_uevent(). Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to require "add" without the '\0'. This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present. According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as the one I have here that requires this fix. Signed-off-by:

When getting disconnected we need to release eventual grabs on the underlying input device as we also release the input device itself. Otherwise, we would try to release the grab when the client that requested it closes its handle, accessing the input device which might already be freed. Signed-off-by:

a) every bitwise declaration will give a unique type; use typedefs. b) no need to bother with the stuff pointed to by iomem pointers, unless it's accessed directly. noderef will force us to use helpers anyway. Signed-off-by: -

This patch fixes bits of the DRM so to make the radeon DRI work on non-cache coherent PCI DMA variants of the PowerPC processors. It moves the few places that needs change to wrappers to that other architectures with similar issues can easily add their own changes to those wrappers, at least until we have more useful generic kernel API.

This interface was originally designed wrong, confusing bit-fields and integers, major brown paper bag going back many years... But userspace only ever used 4 values so fix the interface for new users and fix the implementation to deal with the 4 values userspace has ever emitted (0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x6). Signed-off-by: -

This reverts commit b140b99c. [ conflict in drivers/ide/ide-probe.c fixed manually ] It turned out that probing order change causes problems for some drives: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10239 Since root causes are still being investigated and are unlikely to be fixed before 2.6.25 lets revert this change for now. As a result cable detection becomes less reliable when compared with 2.6.24 but the affected drives are useable again. Reported-by:

There have been reported regressions of the SIL 680 driver when using MMIO, so this makes it only try MMIO on Cell blades where it's known to be necessary (the host bridge doesn't do PIO on these). We'll try to find the root problem with MMIO separately. Signed-off-by:

The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code : int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj, const char *fmt, ...) { va_list args; char *name; int ret; va_start(args, fmt); name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args); ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space... va_end(args); if (!name) return -ENOMEM; return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name); ^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated } Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some configmation before the patch is applied. This should fix it.
