      [PATCH] remove ide_cmd_type_parser() logic · 94088a7a
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      Set ide_task_t fields (command_type, handler and prehandler) directly.
      Remove unused ide_task_t->posthandler and all ide_cmd_type_parser() logic.
      
      ide_cmd_type_parser() was meant to be used for ioctls but
      ended up checking validity of kernel generated requests (doh!).
      
      Rationale for removal:
      - it can't be used for existing ioctls (changes the way they work)
      - kernel shouldn't check validity of (root only) user-space requests
        (it can and should be done in user-space)
      - it wastes CPU cycles on going through parsers
      - it makes code harder to understand/follow
        (now info about request is localized)

      [PATCH] update for pdc202xx_new driver · 65ea2fa1
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      Many thanks to Promise for their support.
      Expect more updates/fixes for Promise PATA support soon.
      
      - fix PIO (auto-)tuning - use pdcnew_new_tune_chipset()
        and always tune PIO mode even if (U)DMA is used
      - cleanup cable verification code a bit
      - remove leftovers from driver split-up
      - remove duplicate DISPLAY_PDC202XX_TIMINGS define

      [libata sata_sil] remove incorrect limit on drive quirk · 5649bb60
      Jeff Garzik authored
      The original submittor of the quirk code noted that the errata
      of a lockup creating when the condition "sector % 15 == 1" is
      true only on chip revisions <= 1.  This is limitation on chip
      revision is apparently not correct, therefore we apply to all
      affected drives in the quirk list.
      
      This is a sledgehammer fix, limiting max-sectors to 15.  A much better
      fix would split the hardware request into two taskfiles, issuing
      an additional command, thereby avoiding "sectors % 15 == 1"
      
      Given the errata is limited to "sil 311x + <these drives>", it is hoped
      that some janitor cares enough to do a real fix.

      [PATCH] Fix voyager to boot again · 157cc3ee
      James Bottomley authored
      The very early memory detection patch broke voyager.
      
      This fixes it again.

      [PATCH] __kill_pg_info() return value fix · 46385763
      Andrew Morton authored
      Fix a bug which was spotted by Alex Lyashkov <shadow@psoft.net>
      
      The fairly unobvious coding in __kill_pg_info() will cause a zero value to be
      incorrectly returned if the second or succeeding call to
      group_send_sig_info() returns an error.

      [PATCH] move consistent_dma_mask to the generic device · a0729eb4
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
      
      pci_dev.consistent_dma_mask was introduced to get around problems in the
      IA64 Altix machine.
      
      Now, we have a use for it in x86: the aacraid needs coherent memory in a
      31 bit address range (2GB).  Unfortunately, x86 is converted to the dma
      model, so it can't see the pci_dev by the time coherent memory is
      allocated.
      
      The solution to all of this is to move pci_dev.consistent_dma_mask to
      dev.coherent_dma_mask and make x86 use it in the dma_alloc_coherent()
      calls.
      
      This should allow me to make the aacraid set the coherent mask instead
      of using it's current dma_mask juggling.

      From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
      
      From: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de>
      
      We should drop module sem before calling mod->exit, for practical reasons:
      too many module exit functions oops or hang, resulting in a permenantly held
      module sem, which blocks all module ops including lsmod.

      [PATCH] DMA: Fill gaping hole in DMA API interfaces. · 66b99421
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com>
      
      Currently, for an existing DMA mapping, there is a way to transfer buffer
      ownership back to the cpu, yet there is no way to give it back to the device
      again explicitly.  The latter really is needed on platforms where the PCI
      subsystem does not snoop the cpu caches, MIPS is one example.
      
      Many drivers were expecting the existing DMA sync interface to handle both
      directions, which was wrong.
      
      Now, with this change, we have explicit interfaces for DMA syncing to/from
      the device and the cpu.
