Add dummy VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END defines to m68knommu architectures. Some code in the proc filesystem breaks without them now.

(i) The prototypes for free_vfsmnt(), alloc_vfsmnt(), do_kern_mount() so far occurred in several individual c files. Now they are in <linux/mount.h>. (ii) do_kern_mount() has a third argument name that is typically a constant. It is called with "rootfs", "nfsd", type->name, "capifs", "usbdevfs", "binfmt_misc" etc. So, it should have a prototype that expresses this: do_kern_mount(const char *fstype, int flags, const char *name, void *data); This makes the ugly cast - return do_kern_mount(type->name, 0, (char *)type->name, NULL); + return do_kern_mount(type->name, 0, type->name, NULL); go away. Now do_kern_mount() calls type->get_sb(), so also get_sb() must have a const third argument. That is what the patch below does. If I am not mistaken, precisely two filesystems do not treat this argument as a constant, namely afs and cifs. A separate patch gives some cleanup there.

This fixes some ColdFire 5407 cache bogosity. Previous code was pushing all cache lines and the invalidating all of the cache. The push should be enough, and now with underlying fixes the the cache setup registers it is. Removed the whole invalidate cycle. Original patch cam from Allessandro Rubini.

Correct the wrong cache setup used on the MOTOROLA 5407 based board. Specifically it enables precise exception mode and write buffering. Original patch from Alessendra Rubini.

This patch takes out the MOD_INC/DEC_USE_COUNT in the airport (Apple wireless ethernet) driver. The driver already does SET_MODULE_OWNER on the netdevice, so the MOD_INC/DEC_USE_COUNT are unnecessary and just cause warnings.

This patch fixes ppp_synctty.c (used for doing PPP over some synchronous serial HDLC links) so that it sets the owner field of the tty line discipline it exports, rather than using MOD_INC/DEC_USE_COUNT. This is more or less from Stephen Hemminger. Please apply. Thanks, Paul.

While going through sound/ for strncpy replacing, I came across this routine: /* return the (first) queue matching with the specified name */ queue_t *snd_seq_queue_find_name(char *name) { int i; queue_t *q; for (i = 0; i < SNDRV_SEQ_MAX_QUEUES; i++) { if ((q = queueptr(i)) != NULL) { if (strncpy(q->name, name, sizeof(q->name)) == 0) return q; queuefree(q); } } return NULL; } I'm _really_ sure that they meant to use strncmp() here instead. Like this.

A couple of updates for the non-MMU memory managment code: - declare the overcommit variables - return a real vma pointer from get_user_pages (it is used by some code) - correct args to vmap()

Use strlcpy in root_dev_setup()

I only converted the cases where it was obvious that the intent was to truncate on overflow. Lots of places for maxpath/readlink type stuff I left alone.

This does a lot of cleanup for strncpy->strlcpy, replaces some sprintf/snprintf's aswell. There were only two places where things weren't straight forward. All-in-all a good cleanup though.

Yet another one in the namespace.c series. The code in graft_tree() used to be correct, but the code err = -ENOENT; down(&nd->dentry->d_inode->i_sem); if (IS_DEADDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode)) goto out_unlock; spin_lock(&dcache_lock); if (IS_ROOT(nd->dentry) || !d_unhashed(nd->dentry)) { ... } spin_unlock(&dcache_lock); out_unlock: was made incorrect in 2.5.29 when err = security_sb_check_sb(mnt, nd); if (err) goto out_unlock; was inserted. It has happened more often that people overlooked a preexisting setting of err.

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollis@austin.ibm.com> Another potential memory leak the Stanford checker caught at 2.5.48: while closing and opening floppy disks, buf could be allocated and never freed.

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollis@austin.ibm.com> Hi, this was caught by the Stanford memory leak checker a while ago (2.5.48). If the tmp_stats allocation fails, tmp is not being freed.

From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> This is a rework of John's recent change which resolved a circular include dependency: a function in mach_apic.h requires hard_smp_processor_id() and hard_smp_processor_id() requires macros from mach_apic.h So this patch (against bk-current) reverts the previous, and fixes the same circular dependency in a much cleaner way, by moving a piece of the circular chain into its own .h file, rather then removing hard_smp_processor_id() and accessing the apic by hand.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> Provides a separate request queue for each ramdisk instance. Without this, the kernel oopses when the block later tries to unregister the same set of kobject things multiple times. This makes rd.c consistent with all other "disk" devices.

From: Duncan Haldane <f.duncan.m.haldane@worldnet.att.net> Gerd Knorr noticed a small use of floating point math in the cpia driver updates for 2.5.x I sent you a while ago, and this is not allowed in the kernel. This was in some code taken essentially verbatim from the Windows cpia driver released under the GPL by STM inc. that had been incorporated in the later versions of the cpia drivera sourceforge. It turns out that the use of floating point was quite inessential, and I've reimplemented the couple of lines of code involved in integer arithmetic.
