      [PATCH] BKL-free ext2_get_block() · 9ff32a07
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Linus, I've got the first of BKL-removal ext2 patches ready to
      go.  It removes BKL from ext2_get_block() and guts of ext2_truncate().
      The only place where we hold BKL on these paths is in dquot.c - probably
      can be easily dealt with, but threading quota is a separate story.
      
      	Inode metadata (pointers to blocks, both in inode itself and in
      indirect blocks, preallocation data and allocation goal) are protected
      by rwlock - EXT2_I(inode)->i_meta_lock.
      
      	Next steps will involve threading the group descriptors and bitmaps
      handling - lock_super() uses in ext2 are going to die.  However, that's
      a separate story - let's do that step-by-step.
      
      	I suspect that patch below will take care of almost all BKL contention
      from ext2 - we still have BKL held over directory operations, but for regular
      files that's it.

      [PATCH] 08-truncate_update_mtime.diff · d1adbf38
      Hans Reiser authored
         truncate now correctly sets mtime always. Before this fix, mtime was not
         updated if truncated file was of zero length or if new filesize was bigger
         then old.
         Problem was noticed by Matthias Andree <ma@dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de>

      Hans Reiser authored
         Speed up reading of journal bitmaps. RAID users should notice significant
         speedup when mounting reiserfs over self-rebuilding RAID arays.

         Do not panic on incorrect savelink entries (truncate on directory).
         Currently we suppose these can be created if switching between kernels
         with and without savelinks support.

      [PATCH] discarded section problem · 0e44d4c5
      Richard Henderson authored
      What should be happening with the references to the discarded .text.exit
      section?  I see a __devexit_p mentioned in Documentation/pci.txt, but it
      hasn't been implemented except for down inside ieee1394.
      
      In any case, I need something like the following in order to build with
      pre-release binutils 2.12.  If this sort of thing is acceptible I can
      prepare a more comprehensive patch.

      [PATCH] video console fix up · 42e2eb36
      David Mosberger authored
      Here is the last patch for today: it enables writecombined mappings
      for ia64 in fbmem.c and gets rid of an ugly ia64 simulator workaround
      in vgacon.c which isn't needed anymore.

      [PATCH] fix for elf coredump deadlock · 8300ed7a
      David Mosberger authored
      This patch fixes a deadlock condition in the elf core dump that shows
      on ia64 because ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS() needs to access user space (to
      get a hold of the backing store of the stacked registers).  Marcelo
      already accepted this into 2.4.17.

      [PATCH] dma64_addr_t fix ups · c2b2901b
      David Mosberger authored
      This patch fixes up two places whre dma64_addr_t is used incorrectly.
      Note that pci_dev->dma_mask and the second argument to
      blk_queue_bounce_limit() are both u64, so the old types clearly are
      wrong (besides, dma64_addr_t is supposed to be used only with the
      pci_dac_*() routines, as per DaveM's earlier mail).

      [PATCH] drivers/char/pcwd.c · 38a86160
      Rob Radez authored
      This patch to drivers/char/pcwd.c against 2.5.4 does two things:
      a) Makes one code snippet more consistent with the rest of the code, and
      b) Makes it possible for this code to actually work
      
      Nearly the same patch against 2.4 was reviewed by Alan, and, well, the
      maintainer seems to have disappeared.  It's also looking like no one uses
      this driver much either.

      [PATCH] Optimized UP preempt fix · 9c73428c
      Robert Love authored
      I previously sent a patch by Mikael Pettersson to fix the UP+preempt
      problem.  It seems from your BK repository you have not yet merged it;
      if so, this patch takes a different approach which is optimal, removing
      the unneeded conditional altogether in the UP case.  I have verified UP
      and SMP are now correct.  Patch is against 2.5.4, please apply.

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre6 apm compile fix · 60e49ba3
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      Here is the patch against 2.5.4.  I have compiled this patch under
      2.5.3, so it should still be OK.
      
      This patch just resyncs the driver with 2.4.18-pre (which is what is
      being testd by others).  The only outstanding known problem is some
      very strange interaction with VMWARE.  But otherwise people seem
      happy with the changes.
      
      Original announcement to Dave Jones and Marcelo:
      
      	Update a couple of email addresses
      	Fix the idle handling (this is an improved version of the fix
      		that Alan Cox has in his -ac tree)
      	Notify user mode of suspend events before drivers (fix)
      	Make the idling percentage boot time configurable
      	Rename kapm-idled to kapmd
      
      Credit to Andreas Steinmetz, Russell King, Thomas Hood and me.
      
      More small updates to come.
