Add a DESTROY operation for block device based filesystems. With the help of this operation, such a filesystem can flush dirty data to the device synchronously before the umount returns. This is needed in situations where the filesystem is assumed to be clean immediately after unmount (e.g. ejecting removable media). Signed-off-by:

Add support for the BMAP operation for block device based filesystems. This is needed to support swap-files and lilo. Signed-off-by:

Add 'blksize' option for block device based filesystems. During initialization this is used to set the block size on the device and the super block. The default block size is 512bytes. Signed-off-by:

I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted. Signed-off-by:

Remove unneeded code from fuse_dentry_revalidate(). This made some sense while the validity time could wrap around, but now it's a very obvious no-op. Signed-off-by:

Add a flag to the RELEASE message which specifies that a FLUSH operation should be performed as well. This interface update is needed for the FreeBSD port, and doesn't actually touch the Linux implementation at all. Also rename the unused 'flush_flags' in the FLUSH message to 'unused'. Signed-off-by:

i2o_scsi: handle sysfs failure i2o_device: * convert i2o_device_add() to return integer error code rather than pointer. Fortunately -nobody- checks the return code of this function, so changing has nil impact. * handle errors thrown by device_register() More work in i2o_device remains. Signed-off-by:

This patch addresses incorrect symbol type information reported through /proc/kallsyms. A lowercase character should designate the symbol as local (or non-exported). An uppercase character should designate the symbol as global (or external). Without this patch, some non-exported symbols are incorrectly assigned an upper-case designation in /proc/kallsyms. This patch corrects this condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when appropriate and eliminates the superfluous upcase_if_global function Signed-off-by:

Add a driver for the Xilinx uartlite serial controller used in boards with the PPC405 core in the Xilinx V2P/V4 fpgas. The hardware is very simple (baudrate/start/stopbits fixed and no break support). See the datasheet for details: http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/ipcenter/data_sheet/opb_uartlite.pdf See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/1237/ for the email thread. Signed-off-by:

check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the partition checkers. This would prevent the actual partition checker getting a chance to verify the partition. So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the checking routines. Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error. Signed-off-by:

The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from the lower layer. It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O error cases while reading the partition information. The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ). Changing this behaviour would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not recommended. Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be reported as "SUCCESS". The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to worry about. i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the partition information. Signed-off-by:

Remove #define NR_CMDS and replace it w/hba[i]->nr_cmds. Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands but the E200 family can only support 128. To prevent annoying "fifo full" messages we define nr_cmds on a per controller basis by adding it the product table. Signed-off-by:

When the UML network driver generates random MACs for its devices, it was possible for a number of UMLs to get the same MACs because the ethernet initialization was done before the random pool was properly seeded. This patch moves the initialization later so that it gets better randomness. Signed-off-by:
