      [PATCH] ohci unlink cleanups · 4ff8e934
      David Brownell authored
      Attached is a patch that cleans up a few more issues in the OHCI unlink
      code.
      
      There may still be an ISO-IN data problem, I'll look at that separately
      since it seems unrelated to unlink issues.
      
      - Simplify/correct ED lifecycle
      	* UNLINK is now for real: descheduled and waiting for SOF
      	* finish_unlinks() expects descheduled EDs (may reschedule)
      	* only ed_deschedule() turns off hardware schedule processing
      	* no more NEW state
      	* no more ED_URB_DEL flag (it added extra states)
      	* new IDLE state, "not scheduled" (replaces previous UNLINKing)
      - Bugfixes
      	* ed_get(), potential memleak is now gone
      	* urb_enqueue(), won't submit to dead/sleeping hc
      	* free_config(), rescans after SOF when needed
      	* ed_schedule(), use wmb()
      	* ed_schedule() and finish_unlinks(), more thorough about
      	  restarting control or bulk processing
      	* finish_unlinks(), more cautious about reentering
      - General:
      	* ed->ed_rm_list renamed ed_next; to be used more later
      	* slightly shrink object code
      	* rename some functions
      
      This leaves one notable issue in the unlink paths:  the driver never waits
      for SOF after descheduling (empty) EDs.  That's racey in most cases, though
      there are a few light-traffic cases where that's correct (in part because
      the ED is empty).  Easy to fix once the rest of this is known to behave.

      [PATCH] ehci-hcd more polite on cardbus · 48a7ed7b
      David Brownell authored
      This patch makes the EHCI driver behave reasonably well in the
      cardbus configurations I can test ... basically, it now sees
      when a card is gone, and cleans up accordingly.  There are also
      some related cleanups:  hardware handshakes will time out (not
      that I've ever seen them fail), and some state management puts
      a bit more effort into being strictly to-spec.

      [PATCH] docbook: Call docbook makefile with -f [9/9] · 6eebabfa
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      The rewritten makefile for DocBook requires that working directory
      is $(TOPDIR) therefore use -f Documentation/DocBook/Makefile to
      invoke the docbook makefile.

      Sam Ravnborg authored
      kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt updated to reflect new functionality
      provided by docproc.
      gen-all-syms and docgen description removed.
      kernel-api.tmpl and parportbook.tmpl updated to specify files to search
      for EXPORT-SYMBOL* to enable documentation of all relevant functions.

      [PATCH] docbook: scripts/docproc improved [5/9] · d7e46839
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      This is the first patch in a serie to clean-up the DocBook
      Makefile.
      
      docproc is extented to include the functionality previously provided by
      gen-all-syms and docgen.  Furthermore the necessity to specify which
      files to search for EXPORT_SYMBOL are removed, the information is now
      read in the .tmpl files.
      
      docproc is furthermore extended to generate dependency information.
      gen-all-syms and docgen are deleted.

      [PATCH] ipx use of cli/sti · bc14d864
      Petr Vandrovec authored
      This removes cli/sti from SPX registration code in IPX.  I decided to
      use normal rw_semaphore instead of net_family_{write,read}_{lock,unlock}
      used in net/socket.c.
      
      I left SPX code itself alone: I do not use it and last time I checked it
      it was very unreliable reliable transport.

      [PATCH] fix two unwrapped uses of thread_info->cpu · 06868c17

      [PATCH] shrink check_nmi_watchdog stack frame · d53948eb
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      This patch for 2.5.28 reduces the stack frame size of
      arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c:check_nmi_watchdog() from 4096 bytes
      in the worst case to 128 bytes.
      
      The problem with the current code is that it copies the entire
      irq_stat[] array, when only a single field (__nmi_count) is of
      interest. The irq_stat_t element type is only 28 bytes, but it
      is also ____cacheline_aligned, and that blows the array up to
      4096 bytes on SMP P4 Xeons, 2048 bytes on SMP K7s, and 1024 bytes
      on SMP P5/P6s. The patch reduces this to NR_CPUS*4==128 bytes.

      [PATCH] Ensure xtime_lock and timerlist_lock are on difft cachelines · a94a3303
      Ravikiran G. Thirumalai authored
      I've noticed that xtime_lock and timerlist_lock ends up on the same
      cacheline  all the time (atleaset on x86).  Not a good thing for
      loads with high xxx_timer and do_gettimeofday counts I guess (networking etc).
      
      Here's a trivial fix.

      [PATCH] New LDM Driver (Windows Dynamic Disks) · 4966a3c5
      Richard Russon authored
      This is a complete rewrite of the LDM driver (support for Windows
      Dynamic Disks).  It incorporates Al Viro's recent partition handling
      tidy ups.
      
      Details:
        LDM Driver rewritten.  More efficient.  Much smaller memory footprint.
      
        The old driver was little more than a stopgap.
        The new driver is a complete rewrite
        based on a much better understanding of the database
        based on much more reverse engineering
        more able to spot errors and inconsistancies
        it has a much smaller memory footprint
        no longer considered experimental
        accompanied by brief info: Documentation/ldm.txt

      [PATCH] Missing memory barrier in pte_chain_unlock · f4f65023
      Anton Blanchard authored
      On a ppc64 machine running 2.5.28 we were hitting this BUG in
      __free_pages_ok:
      
      BUG_ON(page->pte.chain != NULL);
      
      In pte_chain_lock we use test_and_set_bit which implies a memory
      barrier. In pte_chain_unlock we use clear_bit which has no memory
      barriers so we need to add one.
