      [PATCH] A basic NFSv4 client for 2.5.x · b354d917
      Trond Myklebust authored
      Further cleanups
      
      Separate the static and dynamic filesystem data retrieval calls as per the
      NFSv3 spec. This also simplifies things for NFSv4, since many of the
      attributes in the fsinfo+fstat combined call are not mandatory to
      implement.

      [PATCH] A basic NFSv4 client for 2.5.x · e078deae
      Trond Myklebust authored
      Clean up nfs_fill_super().
      
      Separate the parsing of the nfs_mount_data struct and the
      initialization + sanity checking of the resulting super_block.
      The latter is now performed in the new function nfs_sb_init().

      [PATCH] Compile failure (gcc 2.96 bug?). 2.5.42 raid0.c · 356c3c30
      Peter Chubb authored
      Yes it's a GCC optimiser bug.  I'm surprised I didn't see it: I tried
      a whole heap of different compilers on that code, and had problems
      only on the earlier similar code in raid0_run().
      
      I didn't try redhat's compilers (I run debian) but didn't expect the
      behaviour to be that different.
      
      Anyway, please apply this patch (which also fixes the chunk overlap
      problems).

      [PATCH] Forward port of 2.4 fsync_buffers_list() fix. · de1c3893
      Tim Wright authored
      there was a bug in fysnc_buffers_list() in 2.4 (fixed in 2.4.19) that
      could cause the function to return without having written the current
      contents of all the buffers.
      
      Obviously, this could be bad for anybody relying on ordering using
      O_SYNC or fsync().  If an I/O was already in flight for a particular bh
      at the time of the call to fsync_buffers_list(), ll_rw_block() will not
      initiate a new I/O even though the contents may have changed.  It is
      therefore necessary to wait before the call.  Here's a patch against
      2.5.42 that applies the same fix.

      [PATCH] dpt_i2o TCQ update · ca07380f
      Doug Ledford authored
      This patch for dpt_i2o fixes TCQ stuff, but doesn't solve DMA mapping
      issues (so it still doesn't work, but it's not because of TCQ).
      
      Getting around to fixing DMA mapping API issues is much more work per
      driver than the TCQ stuff, so I'm putting it off until later.

      - set driver state properly for all partitions after reset

      [PATCH] futex-2.5.42-A2 · 5d6af116
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This is my current futex patchset against BK-curr.  It mostly includes
      must-have crash/correctness fixes from Martin Wirth, tested and reworked
      somewhat by myself:
      
       - crash fix: futex_close did not detach from the vcache. Detach cleanups.
         (Martin Wirth)
      
       - memory leak fix: forgotten put_page() in a rare path in __pin_page().
         (Martin Wirth)
      
       - crash fix: do not do any quickcheck in unqueue_me(). (Martin, me)
      
       - correctness fix: the fastpath in __pin_page() now handles reserved
         pages the same way get_user_pages() does. (Martin Wirth)
      
       - queueing improvement: __attach_vcache() now uses list_add_tail() to
         avoid the reversal of the futex queue if a COW happens. (Martin Wirth)
      
       - simplified alignment check in sys_futex. (Martin Wirth)
      
       - comment fix: make it clear how the vcache hash quickcheck works. (me)

      This implements a simple hook into the profiling timer for x86 so that

      laptops and the like.
      
      It also reduces header dependencies a bit by centralising readprofile

      [PATCH] bunch of ->open() killed. · dec3735e
      Alexander Viro authored
      Quite a few drivers don't need ->open() anymore - all it did was checking

      [PATCH] bdev->bd_disk introduced · 5682bcc6
      Alexander Viro authored
      There we go - now we can put a reference to gendisk into block_device.  Which
      we do in do_open().  Most of the callers of get_gendisk() are simply using
      bdev->bd_disk now (and most of the put_disk() calls introduced on previous
      step disappear).  We also put that pointer into struct request - ->rq_disk.
      That allows to get rid of disk_index() kludges in md.c (we simply count
      relevant IO in the struct gendisk fields) and kill the export of get_gendisk().
      	Notice that by now we can move _all_ IO counters into gendisk.  That
      will kill a bunch of per-major arrays and more importantly, allow to merge
      sard in clean way.  FWIW, we probably could show them as disk/partitions
      attributes in driverfs...

      get_disk(): atomic_inc on refcount.  get_gendisk() does it on return,
      callers of get_gendisk() do put_disk() when they are done.

      [PATCH] preparation to use of driverfs refcounts, part 2 - disk · b288f6ad
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* disk->disk_dev is initialized in alloc_disk(), device_add()'d in
      	  add_disk(), device_del()'d in unregister_disk() and device_put() in
      	  put_disk().
      	* devices of partitions are made its children.
      	* attributes of disk one: dev (dev_t of the thing), range (number of
      	  minors) and size (in sectors).
      	* attributes of partition ones: dev (ditto), start (in sectors) and
      	  size (in sectors).
      	* disk devices are put on a new bus - "block"
      	* if caller of add_disk() had set disk->driverfs_dev, we set symlinks:
      	  "device" from disk to underlying device and "block" from underlying
      	  device to disk.
      	* ->release() of disk_dev frees disk and disk->part.
      	At that point we have sane driverfs subtree for each gendisk and
      refcount of its root (disk->disk_dev) can act as gendisk refcount.

      [PATCH] preparation to use of driverfs refcounts, part 1 - partitions · afae25b7
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* update_partition() split into add_partition() and delete_partition().
      	* all updating of ->part[] is switched to these two (including initial
      filling/final cleaning).
      	* per-partition devices are allocated on-demand and never reused.
      We allocate struct device in add_partition() and put reference to it into
      hd_struct.  ->release() for that struct device frees it.  delete_partition()
      removes reference from hd_struct and does put_device() on it.  Basically,
      we get rid of problems with reused struct device by never reusing them...
      	At that point devices for partitions are nice and sane.
