      [PATCH] wrong pid in siginfo_t · c7aa953c
      Ulrich Drepper authored
      If a signal is sent via kill() or tkill() the kernel fills in the wrong
      PID value in the siginfo_t structure (obviously only if the handler has
      SA_SIGINFO set).
      
      POSIX specifies the the si_pid field is filled with the process ID, and
      in Linux parlance that's the "thread group" ID, not the thread ID.

      When forcing through a signal for some thread-synchronous · 9e008c3c
      Linus Torvalds authored
      event (ie SIGSEGV, SIGFPE etc that happens as a result of a
      trap as opposed to an external event), if the signal is
      blocked we will not invoce a signal handler, we will just
      kill the thread with the signal.
      
      This is equivalent to what we do in the SIG_IGN case: you
      cannot ignore or block synchronous signals, and if you try,
      we'll just have to kill you.
      
      We don't want to handle endless recursive faults, which the
      old behaviour easily led to if the stack was bad, for example.

      Go back to defaulting to 6-byte commands for MODE SENSE, · b79c8524
      Linus Torvalds authored
      since some drivers seem to be unhappy about the 10-byte
      version. 
      
      The subsystem configuration can override this (eg USB or
      ide-scsi).

      [PATCH] EISA: avoid unnecessary probing · c4404d65
      Marc Zyngier authored
      - By default, do not try to probe the bus if the mainboard does not
        seems to support EISA (allow this behaviour to be changed through a
        command-line option).

      [PATCH] EISA: core changes · ddb6ee51
      Marc Zyngier authored
      - Now reserves I/O ranges according to EISA specs (four 256 bytes
        regions instead of a single 4KB region).
      
      - By default, do not try to probe the bus if the mainboard does not
        seems to support EISA (allow this behaviour to be changed through a
        command-line option).
      
      - Use parent bridge device dma_mask as default for each discovered
        device.
      
      - Allow devices to be enabled or disabled from the kernel command line
        (useful for non-x86 platforms where the firmware simply disable
        devices it doesn't know about...).

      [PATCH] Use the intents in 'nameidata' to improve NFS close-to-open consistency · 52d1430d
      Trond Myklebust authored
        - Make use of the open intents to improve close-to-open
          cache consistency. Only force data cache revalidation when
          we're doing an open().
      
        - Add true exclusive create to NFSv3.
      
        - Optimize away the redundant ->lookup() to check for an
          existing file when we know that we're doing NFSv3 exclusive
          create.
      
        - Optimize away all ->permission() checks other than those for
          path traversal, open(), and sys_access().

      [PATCH] Pass 'nameidata' to ->permission() · a574f324
      Trond Myklebust authored
         - Make the VFS pass the struct nameidata as an optional parameter
           to the permission() inode operation.
      
         - Patch may_create()/may_open() so it passes the struct nameidata from
           vfs_create()/open_namei() as an argument to permission().
      
         - Add an intent flag for the sys_access() function.

      [PATCH] Add open intent information to the 'struct nameidata' · fc8b427e
      Trond Myklebust authored
       - Add open intent information to the 'struct nameidata'.
       - Pass the struct nameidata as an optional parameter to the
         lookup() inode operation.
       - Pass the struct nameidata as an optional parameter to the
         d_revalidate() dentry operation.
       - Make link_path_walk() set the LOOKUP_CONTINUE flag in nd->flags instead
         of passing it as an extra parameter to d_revalidate().
       - Make open_namei(), and sys_uselib() set the open()/create() intent
         data.
