It turns out that run_workqueue never has signal_pending(), since setting
the handler to SIG_IGN means "don't make zombies, I'm ignoring them".  Fix
the comment, don't allow the signal, and remove the unused waitpid loop.

This also allows simpler conversion of workueues to the kthread mechanism,
which uses signals to indicate it's time to stop.

dma_reset_input() takes dmap->lock, so call it without that lock held.

The 'depends' directive for SGI IOC4 support is too restrictive.  Just make
it depend on ia64.

We leak a page in do_no_page() if pte_chain_alloc fails.

- Allocate buffer of correct size.

- Fix possible buffer overflow.

- Use correct debug level for double registered application.

It fixes access to hardware memory of wrong size and therefore removes a
compiler warning.  The hardware trap variable must be read as 32bit value.

The new driver for Eicon ISDN cards is in drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon.

The old driver is still in drivers/isdn/eicon and I would like to remove
this old driver from the 2.6 kernels.

The attached patch removes the references to this driver, but in addition
the directory drivers/isdn/eicon should be removed.

start_this_handle() returns 0 always.  because of this journal_start() may
return handle with h_transaction = NULL

The i386 HPET time setup code would explicitely check for the Intel vendor
ID.  That is bogus because other chipset vendors (like AMD) are
implementing HPET too.  

Remove this check.

Vatsa spotted this: you can remove a module while it's being initialized,
and that will be bad.  Hole was opened when I dropped the sem around the
init routine (which can probe for other modules).

Prevents a race where sys_sched_setaffinity can race with
sched_migrate_task and cause sched_migrate_task to restore an invalid
cpu mask.

- Make it static

- It is larger and has two callsites: uninline it.

From: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk>

I'm compiling 2.6.1-rc1-mm1 with "-W -Wall" to look for potential problems
and minor stuff to clean up.

One of the things that enabling the extra warnings turn up is errors about
the placement of the inline keyword.

Fix warnings and build errors under EXT2_DEBUG.

Softcursor was broken for half of 2.5 series.  This fixes it by first
hiding cursor _then_ hiding softcursor.  Very simple mistake...

From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

This is obsolete x86-64 code.

- Add missing locking around s_next_generation increment

- Correctly set the initial value of s_next_generation.

There is no locking around the increment of this per-filesystem counter.
Create a new lock, just for this.

We've cached EXT2_SB(sb) in local variable `sbi'.  Use it.

This kills outdated docs, and adds some helpful docs about video issues

wakeup.S includes some rather nasty, and unneccessary debugging code.  (It

For compound pages, page_count needs to be sure to reference the head page.

This affects code that plays tricks with memory mappings into userspace,
which would mostly involve video drivers.

Restore the HT detection algorithm.  Make the processor package mapping
subarch-specific so that it can reflect the APIC ID info provided by BIOS
if required.

If we detect an error late in this function, local variable `interpreter' can
be NULL.  Don't try to fput() it in that case.

3c59x has a tunable `rx_copybreak'.  But it's declared const, so recent gcc's
rub it out altogether, and modprobe says `3c59x: falsely claims to have
parameter rx_copybreak'.

This way, the "static char buf" is defined only once instead
of once per file.

follow_up doesn't check that the passed dentry is at the root of the mounted
file system, so we have to do that, to avoid calling follow_up too many
times.

We weren't converting the -E* error code to an nfserr_* error code as we
should.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>

nfsd_setuser was not called until after filehandle lookup was done, so
filehandle lookup would use the wrong userid, and so the permission checking
in nfsd_acceptable would be bogus.

It's cleaner and more correct to look at req->rl to determine whether this
request got from the block layer requests lists instead of using req->q.
It's handy to always have req->q available, to lookup the queue from the
request.
