      [PATCH] pegasus & rtl8150 · 9dbfec80
      Petko Manolov authored
      I chose a little bit more restrictive license for my drivers.
      Rx skb pool introduced in pegasus driver and the pool locking in rtl8150
      is refined.

      [PATCH] ->i_dev switched to dev_t · 88cc0d3e
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* ->i_dev followed the example of ->s_dev - it's dev_t now.  All
      remaining uses of ->i_dev either outright want dev_t (stat()) or couldn't
      care less (printing major:minor in /proc/<pid>/maps, etc.)

      [PATCH] assorted kdev_t cleanups in filesystems · c9add9b8
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* JFS uses its ->logdev only twice - one of the places assigns
      it to_kdev_t(le32_to_cpu(...)), another uses kdev_t_to_nr() of it.
      Switched to u32 - it's just a place where we store device number we'd got
      from superblock.
      	* several reiserfs_fs.h function prototypes removed - functions
      in question don't exist anymore.
      	* smbfs doesn't support device nodes; ->f_rdev removed.

      [PATCH] ex_dev switched to dev_t · ab6a5810
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* svc_export ->ex_dev turned into dev_t.  It's a pure search
      key and all places that set it actually do to_kdev_t(some_dev_t_expression).

      [PATCH] raid kdev_t cleanups - part 3 · dc5d0e46

      	* ->dev killed for md/linear.c (same as previous parts)

      [PATCH] md_import_device() cleanup · b60f0c2b
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* md_import_device() returns resulting rdev or ERR_PTR(error)
      instead of returning 0 or error an letting caller find rdev.

      [PATCH] raid kdev_t cleanups - part 2 · 881c3bc1
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* a bunch of callers of partition_name() are calling
      bdev_partition_name(),
      	* the last users of raid1 and multipath ->dev are gone; so are
      the fields in question.

      [PATCH] raid ->diskop() splitup · f3ddcd6b
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* ->diskop() split into individual methods; prototypes cleaned
      up.  In particular, handling of hot_add_disk() gets mdk_rdev_t * of
      the component we are adding as an argument instead of playing the games
      with major/minor.  Code cleaned up.

      [PATCH] raid kdev_t cleanups (part 1) · 480f4106
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* ->error_handler() switched to struct block_device *.
      	* md_sync_acct() switched to struct block_device *.
      	* raid5 struct disk_info ->dev is gone - we use ->bdev everywhere.
      	* bunch of kdev_same() when we have corresponding struct block_device *
      and can simply compare them is removed from drivers/md/*.c

      [PATCH] kdev_t crapectomy · a99f1593
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* since the last caller of is_read_only() is gone, the function
      itself is removed.
      	* destroy_buffers() is not used anymore; gone.
      	* fsync_dev() is gone; the only user is (broken) lvm.c and first
      step in fixing lvm.c will consist of propagating struct block_device *
      anyway; at that point we'll just use fsync_bdev() in there.
      	* prototype of bio_ioctl() removed - function doesn't exist
      anymore.

      [PATCH] cdrom.c cleanups · 67addbac
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* Bunch of functions in cdrom.c used to get kdev_t and use it
      only to do cdrom_find_device(dev), even though their callers already
      had struct cdrom_device_info * in question.  Switched to passing
      said pointer directly.
      	* useless exports removed; stuff not used outside of cdrom.c
      made static.

      [PATCH] (md.c) block device size cleanups · 123caef2
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* calc_dev_sboffset() and calc_dev_size() in md.c are getting
      mk_rdev_t instead of kdev_t.  Callers updated.
      	* calls of blkdev_size_in_bytes() in md.c replaced with use
      of rdev->bdev->bd_inode->i_size.

      [PATCH] devpts cleanup · 2aa85937
      Alexander Viro authored
      	* devpts "upcalls" eliminated.
      	* instead of playing games with revalidation we simply use
      ramfs-style tree and kill dentries upon devpts_pty_kill().  That
      allows to get rid of a lot of code in fs/devpts/*.c.
      	* devpts_fs.h cleaned up.
      	* devpts/root.c and devpts/devpts_i.h removed.
      	* array of pointers to devpts inodes killed; with ramfs-style tree
      it's not needed anymore.
      	* devpts/inode.c cleaned up.
      	* devpts_pty_new() used to get mk_kdev() only to convert it to
      dev_t (hardly a surprise, since it's mknod() in disguise).  Now it gets
      dev_t as an argument.

      [PATCH] Use names, not numbers for pagefault types · f1dfe022
      Andrew Morton authored
      This is Bill Irwin's cleanup patch which gives symbolic names to the
      fault types:
      
      	#define VM_FAULT_OOM	(-1)
      	#define VM_FAULT_SIGBUS	0
      	#define VM_FAULT_MINOR	1
      	#define VM_FAULT_MAJOR	2
      
      Only arch/i386 has been updated - other architectures can do this too.

      [PATCH] reduce lock contention in try_to_free_buffers() · 5feb041e
      Andrew Morton authored
      The blockdev mapping's private_lock is fairly contended.  The buffer
      LRU cache fixed a lot of that, but under page replacement load,
      try_to_free_buffers is still showing up.
      
      Moving the freeing of buffer_heads outside the lock reduces contention
      in there by 30%.

      [PATCH] debug: check page refcount in __free_pages_ok() · 63a07153
      Andrew Morton authored
      Add a BUG() check to __free_pages_ok() - to catch someone freeing a
      page which has a non-zero refcount.  Actually, this check is mainly to
      catch someone (ie: shrink_cache()) incrementing a page's refcount
      shortly after it has been freed
      
      Also clean up __free_pages_ok() a bit and convert lots of BUGs to BUG_ON.
